Filter by: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).
Our study aiming for determining the combined effect of selective manual therapy techniques in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients
The purpose the study is to successfully characterize the recovery phase of acute exacerbations of COPD in the outpatient setting using remotely captured physiologic data from wearable devices, to compare this with patient self-reported symptom data, to determine which physiologic variable(s) best correspond with AECOPD recovery, and to further document the feasibility, data quantity, data quality, and COPD outpatient usability experience with wearable devices.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate exercise strategies that motivate and relive stress in adults with cardiopulomnary conditions. The goals of this study are as follows: - To explore the feasibility (how easily it can be done) of using self-selected music during exercise training for adults with cardiopulmonary conditions. - To assess patient satisfaction of self-selected music with exercise for adults with cardiopulmonary conditions. - To explore the immediate effects of self-selected music on mood and symptoms (shortness of breath and fatigue) compared with listening to a podcast during their exercise training session Participants will: - Select 5-7 songs and 1 podcast to listen to during their treatment session - Walk on the treadmill while either listening to a podcast or music - Fill out surveys about their mood, symptoms (shortness of breath and fatigue), music/podcast, and exercise
This will be a randomized controlled trial Patients will be divided into two groups randomly. Both groups will receive postural drainage as baseline treatment thrice a week for two weeks. The intervention group will undergo additional Aerobic Training thrice a week for two weeks as well along with postural drainage. Aerobic training will include a 5-step stair-climbing and a 10-step walk during each session. Data will be collected before and at the end of two weeks. Respiratory Rate, Pulse Oximeter, 10-meter Endurance walk test, and Pediatric Cough Questionnaire will be used to collect data pre and post-treatment. Data will be analyzed by use of SPSS Version 2010. Data will be presented in the form of mean and standard deviation.
The primary aim of our study is to examine the relationship between balance and respiratory function, respiratory and peripheral muscle strength, functional capacity, and cognitive function in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The secondary aim of our study is to compare respiratory function, respiratory and peripheral muscle strength, functional capacity, balance, and cognitive functions of COPD patients and healthy individuals. This study will examine and record the participant's sociodemographic information and medical records. Balance, respiratory function, respiratory and peripheral muscle strength, functional capacity, and cognitive function will be assessed. Since the patients are included in this study, no intervention will be made, no additional tests will be performed, or no changes will be made in the routine treatments of the patients during the study.
