Filter by:A randomised controlled trial will be conducted with COPD patients as its target population. There will be 40 individuals for both the control group and the intervention group. Group A is a control group while Group B is an experimental group (20 participants on Group A and 20 on group B). The baseline treatment for both groups were pursed lip breathing and ACBT. On the other hand, group B experimental group will also undergo (pursued lip breathing and ACBT) with autogenic drainage. Group A session lasts for 30 minutes and Group B session lasts for 45 minutes. There is only one session per day. There is a three session in a week for 4 weeks. Measurements are made of dyspnea, oxygen saturation, peak expiratory flow rate, pulse rate and fatigue both before and after the treatment, data were recorded. Participants in the trial must have mild to moderate COPD (GOLD Criteria) and be between the ages of 40 to 60 years. Data from Sheikh Zayed Hospital, Rahim Yar Khan will be collected. Follow-up for both completed tasks and changes in pulmonary status will be evaluated after 4 weeks. Modified Borg Dyspnea (RPE) Scale, Breathlessness, Cough and Sputum Scale (BCSS), Fatigue Severity Scale or Visual Analogue Scale, Peak flow meter, Oximeter will be used to measure the outcomes. Data will be analysed using the SPSS 21.0 Statistical Software
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs. Symptoms include breathing difficulty, cough, mucus (sputum) production and wheezing. In Costophrenic assist, the therapist gives a quick stretch to the diaphragm and intercostals with repetitions. The patientt holds air in the lungs. As the patient gets ready to cough, the therapist performs a diaphragmatic assist. In Anterior chest compression: the therapist places one arm across the patient's pectorals and the other parallel to it. After the patient takes a maximal breath, the therapist pushes down to help the patient cough. The greatest force is applied through the lower chest during expulsion. A total 34 patients will be taken. 2 groups will be created to apply intervention. After signing consent form, 17 patients in group A will be given costophrenic assist technique and 17 patients in group B will be given anterior chest compression technique. Baseline treatment given to both groups will include percussion and tapping. The data collected will then be analyzed using IBM SPSS version 25
Evaluation of the effectiveness of COPD self-management interventions compared to usual on Quality of life, functional status, patient education, depression, and anxiety in primary healthcare users in the prefecture of Heraklion, Greece.
This is a Phase I, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and immunogenicity of a 10 mg/kg dose of AD-214 when administered to healthy volunteers (HVs) (Part A) or patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) or chronic kidney disease (CKD) (Part B). The study will be performed in Australia at up to two clinical sites.
The primary objective for this trial is to investigate the incidence probability of progression to Progressive Fibrosing Interstitial Lung Diseases (PF-ILDs) in patients with fibrosing ILD other than Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) in real-world setting in Japan. The secondary objective is to investigate the characteristics of procedures for management and treatment in patients with fibrosing ILD other than IPF in real-world setting in Japan.
The type of this study is an observational prospective study. It will be done to determine the oxygenation status of the intercostal muscles and quadriceps femoris muscle during exercise in patients with fibrosing lung and to examine its relationship with exercise capacity, respiratory functions and respiratory muscle strength. The main questions that the study aims to answer are: - Question 1: Do changes in muscle oxygenation during exercise affect respiratory functions in patients with Fibrosing Lung? - Question 2: Do changes in muscle oxygenation during exercise affect exercise capacity in patients with Fibrosing Lung? Participants; demographic information such as age, height, weight will be questioned. Respiratory functions will be evaluated with a desktop spirometer, peripheral muscle strength measurement will be evaluated with a digital myometer, and functional capacity will be evaluated with a 6-minute walk test (6MWT). The Moxy device, which is a non-invasive near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), will be attached to the upper leg (the vastus lateralis of the quadriceps muscle) and the rib (intercostal muscles) with a silk patch, and the oxygenation of the muscles here will be measured during the 6-minute walking test. In addition, fatigue status will be evaluated with the Modified Borg Scale.
Infants born prematurely e.g. before 28 weeks of gestational age have a 50% chance of developing neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS). The management of NRDS is currently driven by information obtained from a sampling of arterial blood, pulse oximetry, and x-ray imaging. On the other hand, these tests carry short and long-term negative outcomes for vulnerable patients. Optical technology has been developed to evaluate lung function non-invasively and without any potential risks for the patients. It is based on Gas in Scattering Media Absorbance Spectroscopy (GASMAS) method, using low-power laser light and a photodetector attached directly to the baby's torso.
Background: Patients with COPD often experience skeletal muscle dysfunction. For those who are unable or unwilling to undertake physical training, neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) may provide an alternative method of exercise training. Objective: To investigate the effects of adding neuromuscular electrical stimulation of gluteus maximus, quadriceps and calf muscles to chest physiotherapy, compared to chest physiotherapy alone, on muscles strength (gluteus max., quadriceps, calf muscles), femoral blood flow physical and pulmonary function in severe COPD Patients.
The purpose of this study is to compare AI performance to doctor's performance in the evaluation of IPF/UIP and ILDs without UIP(proven by biopsy).
