Filter by:Infants will be enrolled into this study in one of three groups. First, there will be a group of full term infants with no history of wheezing. Second, there will be a group of infants receiving a ct scan that is non-respiratory related. Third, there will be a group of infants that are born full term but have a history of wheezing of at least 3 episodes. The three groups will be compared to see if there is a difference in lung function, lung structure and lung size. Besides comparing the testing results we will be evaluating environmental and inherited characteristics. There are 2 purposes of this study. The first purpose is: To determine whether asymptomatic groups of infants at high risk for wheezing (Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure, Fm Asthma, male Gender) have fixed or reversible airway narrowing. The second purpose of this study is: To determine the relative contributions of fixed and reversible airway narrowing in infants with recurrent symptomatic wheezing, and to determine whether fixed and reversible airway narrowing is related to ETS exposure, Fm Asthma, and male Gender.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of escalating multiple SC doses of MEDI-528 in adult patients with mild persistent asthma.
This patient follow-up programme was designed to describe the extent of Symbicort use in patients prescribed Symbicort as maintenance and reliever therapy in routine clinical practice in comparison with the already documented use of Symbicort as maintenance and reliever therapy in clinical therapies
There is mounting evidence that successful allergen immunotherapy (SIT) functions through the induction of different subset of Treg including Foxp3 positive cells, therefore additional strategies to enhance this property are highly attractive. Based on previous findings we assumed that combine allergen immunotherapy with non-specific treatments such as glucocorticosteroids and vitamin D3 as well as montelukast sodium treatment might enhanced allergen tolerance induction and improved clinical effectiveness of allergen-specific immunotherapy
The purpose of this protocol is to obtain biologic samples from the blood and lungs from patients with lung diseases in order to study the causes and indications of these disorders, learn how these lung disease manifest and progress, and how the lung disease can be treated.
This is a research study where researchers are collecting blood to evaluate the genetic characteristics of individuals with chronic lung diseases, including asthma, COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), interstitial lung disease, cystic fibrosis, and lung cancer. The investigators hope to be able to identify an association between a genetic make-up in the blood samples and the risks of developing a particular lung disease, or severity of a lung disease. The findings of this study might be important to develop future preventative methods and potential treatments for the management of lung disease.
To investigate the effect and safety of budesonide Turbuhaler® 100 μg/dose and 200 μg/dose twice daily for 6 weeks in Japanese children with bronchial asthma aged 5 years to 15 years old in need for inhaled glucocorticosteroid treatment. To compare the efficacy of budesonide Turbuhaler® 100 μg/dose and 200 μg/dose twice daily for 6 weeks to that of fluticasone Diskus® 50 μg/dose and 100 μg/dose twice daily for 6 week.
This study is meant to compare two routine diagnostic approaches in patients with bronchial asthma. Patients are challenged with methacholine in order to measure their bronchial response. We compare the evaluation of the effects of incremental concentrations versus incremental dosages.
To investigate how common it is that patients using Symibort SMART take high average daily doses that are not considered appropriate by their physician (overuse) or are hospitalised due to their asthma at least partly due to underuse.
The objective of this trial is to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of the administration of a depigmented and polymerized allergen extract of Phleum pratense in the rhinoconjunctivitis and/or asthma of slight or moderate intensity, due to allergy to grass pollen.
