Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of yoga in reducing shortness of breath in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Patients in this study must have moderate to severe COPD and be primarily limited by shortness of breath.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS).
To examine the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea and lipid metabolism.
To elucidate the mechanisms underlying inter-patient variation in response to montelukast, a drug for asthma.
The research is to evaluate benzene metabolism after exposure at levels that can be found in the environment, such as the higher end concentrations in the air inside cars and buses while being driven in heavy traffic and inside private and public parking garages. To do so breath, urine, and blood samples prior to, during and after being exposed to benzene as well as benzene levels and benzene metabolites present are measured.
The purpose of this program is to evaluate the logistic issues and patient requirements for chronic pulsed INOmax delivery in ambulatory, home-care patients. To understand patient needs, patients with a variety of underlying diseases will be included. Safety of chronic therapy will be monitored by serial measurements of methemoglobin, platelet function assay and reported adverse events.
The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate whether administration of nitric oxide (NO)gas by oxygen hood at 20 ppm significantly increases PaO2, as compared to placebo gas (oxygen), within one hour of initiation and with no significant adverse effects.
The purpose of this study is to identify modifier genes in cystic fibrosis (CF).
The purpose of this study is to examine genetic modifiers of the severity of cystic fibrosis lung disease.
To localize within the genome a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease susceptibility gene.
