Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Rajani Jagana's research focuses on pulmonary arterial hypertension, investigating the influence of iron deficiency on clinical and hemodynamic parameters within patient cohorts. Jagana has also studied the association between tocilizumab use and an increased risk of fungal infections in critically ill patients with COVID-19 and acute renal failure. Other areas of investigation include the presentation of pulmonary emboli with ST-elevation on electrocardiograms, and the efficacy of personal protective equipment in healthcare emergencies. Jagana's work contributes to understanding complex clinical conditions and the management of associated risks. Jagana has published 41 papers, with a total of 120 citations and an h-index of 7. Key collaborators include Nikhil Meena, MOHAMMAD KHRAIS, Arjun Rao, and William T. Atchley, all from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, with whom Jagana has co-authored multiple publications.

Research Interests

1. Cystic Fibrosis: I have done and been doing many research projects in field of cystic fibrosis in collaboration with Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. These international and multicenter center studies have made an impact in the lives of cystic fibrosis patients by increasing their estimated life survival and decreased hospitalizations. I am principal investigator of few ongoing multicenter studies and sub-investigator of multiple studies at our center in the field of Cystic fibrosis and non CF bronchiectasis. 2. COVID-19: I am sub-investigator of multiple COVID-19 studies currently undergoing in our Institution. 3. I involve students, residents and fellows in research projects and may of these projects and case reports have been presented in national and international pulmonary and critical care conferences 4. I have authored 7 manuscripts, which have been published in peer- reviewed international medical journals. In addition, I have made over 26 posters and presentations that have been showcased at the international conferences including American Thoracic Society, American college of physicians (ACP), society of critical care medicine (SCCM) and CHEST conferences.
