Filter by:This study will evaluate the effectiveness of an online Chronic Disease Self-Management Program for participants in Canada living with chronic health conditions. This pilot will look for improvements in health status, health behaviors and health care utilization.
The purpose of this study if to investiagte the time course of PF-00258210 plasma concentration in the presence or absence of PF-00610335 administered via oral inhalation using dry powder inhalers
The purpose of this study is to improve patient care and safety while decreasing ED visit rates by sending specific information about care transitions related to hospital admission and discharge and emergency department and specialty care visits to primary care practices, care managers and patients with the use of health information technology (HIT) shared across a community-based network of providers. Cycle 1 focuses on the impact of notices about ED encounters and hospitalizations derived from billing data that are sent to care managers for all 47,000 patients in the Northern Piedmont Community Care Network (NPCCN). Cycle 2 explores the impact of letters sent to patients, and care event reports sent to a patient's medical home in addition to notices sent to care managers about ED encounters, hospitalization and specialty care based on ADT (Admission Discharge Transfer) and billing data on 4,600 patients with complex health needs.
The overall aim of the Health2010-14 is to monitor the prevalence and trends of common chronic diseases (osteoporosis, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, asthma, allergy, and eczema) that are often un-diagnosed in the general population as well as biomarkers of micronutrient status. Specific aims include identification of novel lifestyle and genetic risk factors for the above diseases by investigating gene-lifestyle interactions.
Assessment of the inhalation profiles of four dry powder inhalers in patients with variable degrees of lung obstruction
In this clinical study we aim to determine the effect of allergy immunotherapy in decreasing asthma and allergy related disease in children who had multiple episodes of wheezing and who are at high risk for developing persisting asthma. These risks include a history of asthma in the parents, allergies to environmental allergens (such as dust mite, cockroach or mouse) and other allergic diseases such as eczema or food allergies. Allergy Immunotherapy is not new and has been practiced for many years to treat asthma and environmental allergies in older children and adults, but has not yet been systematically studied in young children.
This project will assess the effectiveness of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation in controlling asthma symptoms among obese asthmatics, and will assess if a person's genes influence response to treatment (personalized medicine). This project may improve our ability to treat asthma and our understanding of the link between obesity and asthma.
The purpose of this study is to determine how a special white blood cell, the eosinophil, can contribute to asthma. One of the characteristics of asthma is airway inflammation. Airway inflammation in asthma may occur when an allergen is inhaled and sets up an allergic reaction in the bronchial tubes. This reaction may lead to chest tightness, cough and wheeze. To better understand the way in which the eosinophil can cause inflammation, the investigators plan to study eosinophils that move in to the lung following an allergic reaction.
The study was performed to investigate the effects of a dietary intervention with c9,t11-CLA on clinical and immunological parameters in children and adolescents with allergic bronchial asthma.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common but under-diagnosed form of sleep disordered breathing (SDB). Asthma is a common disease with rising prevalence, which continues to pose significant morbidity and costs. In spite of considerable progress in our understanding of asthma, a large number of individuals with asthma continue to have symptoms and subsequently, have a poor functional status, poor quality of life and increased health care costs. In many cases no apparent cause is found and optimal therapy does not achieve its goal. While recent data suggests that OSA is common in severe asthma, the prevalence of OSA and its predisposing factors have not been studied.
