Filter by:This product is a computer-aided detection software designed to assist clinicians in detecting lung nodules in chest computer tomography. This product receives from PACS, radiology information system or directly from computer tomography scanner. After receiving the image, the product performs image analysis and provides a mark of suspected lung nodules. Users can use existing medical image capture and transmission systems or reading software to view these annotations on the workstation. The main purpose of this trial is to verify that when clinicians perform chest CT pulmonary nodule detection, compared to only diagnosis based on chest CT images, whether the "Taihao" lung CT decision support system helps to improve the diagnostic efficiency of clinicians. The secondary purpose is to evaluate that when clinicians perform chest CT pulmonary nodule detection, compared to only diagnosis based on chest CT images, whether the "Taihao" lung CT decision support system helps to improve the sensitivity, specificity, and image interpretation time (Reading Time) of clinicians.
To confirm the safety and performance of the da Vinci SP Surgical System, Instruments and Accessories in pulmonary lobectomy, and in thymectomy procedures.
The aim of this study is to investigate the possible effects of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on respiratory functions, functional capacity, balance and quality of life in patients with interstitial lung disease.
This panel study aims to evaluate the effects of air pollutants on cardiopulmonary health of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and explore the potential biological mechanisms.
More people are living with chronic or long-term disorders together and they live longer, which gives an increase in patients who need health services. Seen in the context of the shorter lengths of stay, and the outpatient clinics' increasing responsibility, there is a need to increase outpatient capacity without leading to more patient readmissions. Further, new services should take into account the patients capacity to benefit from the services, and their level of health literacy is crucial. By developing new services using technology, patients will be able to be followed up closely in their own home with adapted treatment and information, a closer dialogue with the health service where there is a need, and the utilization of scarce resources in the health care system can increase. The aim of the current study is to evaluate a digital outpatient clinic, and assess any differences over time in health literacy, digital health literacy, quality of life and overall satisfaction with the outpatient services. Furthermore, the investigators will assess the intervention group's satisfaction with the digital outpatient clinic. In addition, the digital services will be tailored and revised throughout the study based on continuous feedback and iterative processes. The current study is a pragmatic controlled multicenter study with two study arms; one control arm and one intervention arm. In total, eligible participants will be recruited from one of four centers.
This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of astegolimab in combination with standard of care chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) maintenance therapy in patients with COPD who are former or current smokers and have a history of frequent exacerbations.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) affects the airways that causes shortness of breath, cough. COPD gets worse over time, and often leads to emergency department visits, hospital visits, frequent doctor appointments and medications. This means COPD is expensive, and severely impacts patient quality of life. Unfortunately, patients are often not properly diagnosed until their disease is fairly advanced. We know a lot about the health care use of people with COPD once they have been diagnosed, but we do not know much about what happens to them leading up to their diagnosis. Through this project we want to better understand the time period prior to COPD diagnosis, so that we can learn more about what happens to people before they are diagnosed. This project will use health data to find out if we can identify trends in health care use by individuals newly diagnosed with COPD. We will identify people that have COPD based on health records, and look back to find out about their health care use prior to their diagnosis. We will look at data related to doctors' visits, emergency department visits, hospital stays and medications. We want to use these markers to better understand what happens to people before they are diagnosed, and to find out if we can identify risk factors for a COPD diagnosis. We hope by doing this research we can better identify people at risk for COPD and ensure that they receive treatment early, which may improve their health outcomes.
A prospective cohort study was used to observe the efficacy and safety of different immunosuppressive agents with/wo pirfenidone on CTD-ILD patients in Qilu Hospital of Shandong University for 36 months.The main research endpoints are lung function, patient dyspnea score, 6-minute walking distance, imaging indicators, primary disease activity, adverse reactions, etc.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of oral omadacycline as compared to placebo in the treatment of adults with Nontuberculous Mycobacterial (NTM) pulmonary disease caused by Mycobacterium abscessus complex (MABc)
The purpose of this randomized, placebo-controlled double-blind trial is to evaluate efficacy of acetazolamide in preventing overt altitude-related adverse health effects (ARAHE) in lowlanders with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) developing early signs of altitude-illness during altitude travel.
