Filter by:To evaluate whether the innovative multimethod assessment process/participatory quality improvement (MAP/PQI) intervention increases adherence to multiple cardiorespiratory guidelines in primary care practice.
The purpose of this study is to improve anti-inflammatory medication adherence and asthma outcomes by using reports of peak flow monitoring to prompt communication between patients and their doctors.
The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of a bilingual intervention in improving asthma care for low-income inner-city children enrolled in subsidized preschool childcare programs.
The purpose of this project is to refine and further evaluate an online asthma management and education program for urban teenagers. This project is a continuation of Puff City I, a project piloting and evaluating a tailored, school-based, computerized asthma education program for urban teenagers. In this second phase of research, a new version of software (Puff City II) will be created that will target resistance to change and relapse, and using a tested, theory-based approach to student recruitment, conduct a randomized trial to test the efficacy of this new software.
The purpose of the study is to follow the medical course of children with moderate to severe asthma and see how this relates to whether they have acid of non-acid gastroesophageal reflux
The purpose of this trial is to determine whether regularly scheduled use of an inhaled long-acting beta agonist (salmeterol) in the setting of concomitant use of inhaled corticosteroids (beclomethasone hydroflouroalkane (HFA) inhaler) will have a detrimental effect on asthma control in people who bear the B16-Arg/Arg genotype of the beta-2 adrenergic receptor gene, as compared to people with asthma of similar severity who bear the B16-Gly/Gly genotype.
Administration of probiotics to pregnant women from an atopic family and subsequently to their high-risk newborns results in prevention of the incidence or in a decrease of the severity of atopic disease during infancy.
The degree of TH1-skewing by mycobacteria is controlles by NRAMP1 gene polymorphisms and related to the degree of inhibition of TH2-mediated disease.
This study will investigate sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT), a treatment involving antigens placement under the tongue to help asthma sufferers build a tolerance to the allergy-causing substances. Specifically, this study will determine the effectiveness of SLIT at two different dosing regimens for patients with intermittent mild asthma caused by dust mites.
Among 180 patients with moderate asthma, the specific aim of this randomized trial is to assess the effectiveness of an intervention involving education, enhancement of self-efficacy, and asthma social support in preventing deterioration in functional status over two years.
