Filter by:To determine whether or not inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) safely decreases the incidence of chronic lung disease (CLD) in premature infants.
To identify physiological and clinical measures of obstructive sleep-disordered breathing that are associated with increased morbidity in children.
To assess associations between behavioral/neuropsychological measures and various measures of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) and to determine the prevalence of SDB in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
To determine the effects of chronic ozone exposure on lung function in young men and women.
This multicenter clinical trial tested whether minimal ventilation decreases death or BPD. Infants with birth weight 501g to 1000g and mechanically ventilated before 12 hours were randomly assigned to minimal ventilation (partial pressure of carbon dioxide [PCO(2)] target >52 mm Hg) or routine ventilation (PCO(2) target <48 mm Hg) and a tapered dexamethasone course or saline placebo for 10 days, using a 2 x 2 factorial design. The primary outcome was death or BPD at 36 weeks' postmenstrual age. Blood gases, ventilator settings, and FiO2 were recorded for 10 days; complications and outcomes were monitored to discharge. The infants' neurodevelopment was evaluated at 18-22 months corrected age.
To examine the occupations, industries and exposures in the work-place which were associated with a high risk for asthma and other adverse respiratory health effects, with particular emphasis on specific exposures of predominantly female occupations (irritants, detergents and other asthmagens), and of other high risk major occupations which had not been adequately examined.
to develop the maximally effective treatment strategy for chronic sleep-onset insomnia and to reduce its impact on psychological functioning, health, and economic sequelae.
To develop and test various educational strategies targeting primarily minority TB-infected adolescents at two health centers in Los Angeles in an experimental design to assess the relative effectiveness on medication adherence, appointment keeping, and completion of therapy.
The Community Outreach Intervention Project (COIP) implemented and evaluated a TB intervention with injection drug users (IDUs) in two Chicago Neighborhoods, guided by the indigenous outreach leadership model that had been used for AIDS prevention among drug users.
To develop a behavioral intervention aimed at public health workers who perform tuberculosis contact investigation and designed to enhance the contact investigation process.
