Filter by:To examine air pollution, inflammation and new onset asthma in a large cohort of children in southern California.
The purpose of this study is to determine, in children aged 1 to 6 years with recurrent asthma induced by upper respiratory tract infections (URTI), whether the administration of high doses of inhaled fluticasone started at the onset of symptoms of a cold will result in a reduced severity and shorter duration of asthma exacerbations and will not be associated with reduced growth velocity, osteopenia, and adrenal suppression.
The objectives of this trials are to demonstrate, in children with poorly controlled asthma, that an intervention to increase the awareness and the impact of poor asthma control among parents and physicians of affected children and adolescents can reduce the rate of asthma emergency visits in the 12 months following the initiation of the intervention.
The purpose of this study is to compare Symbicort Single Inhaler treatment with the Best Conventional Practice in patients with persistent asthma
This is a research study of asthma and sleep apnea. Our hypothesis is that untreated sleep apnea causes inflammation in the lung, which can worsen asthma. We believe treatment of sleep apnea will reduce this inflammation, and improve asthma control. This study will help us better understand what happens to the lung and bronchial tubes before and after treatment of sleep apnea, which could benefit all patients with sleep apnea. This study involves 2 bronchoscopies.
The primary objective is to compare the effects of Symbicort SiT and treatment according to NHG-guidelines on bronchial hyperresponsiveness in asthmatic patients, as measured by PD20 histamine, and to validate the Bronchial Hyperresponsiveness Questionnaire (BHQ).
To study the efficacy of multicomponent treatment and care for patients with acute illness or deterioration of a chronic disease at a nursing home in primary health care compared to traditional treatment at hospital.
This Pilot study is designed to explore the rate of local side effects of fluticasone as delivered by Advair and to determine the best outcome measure to assess these effects. This study is the initial step, and will be followed by a larger scale study.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the ability of budesonide, given during episodes of troublesome lung symptoms to reduce further symptoms in infants and young children at risk of developing asthma
The purpose of this study is to determine if 20mg BID of Rabeprazole is effective in controlling GERD in patients with concomitant bronchial asthma and to assess improvement in asthma after reflux control.
