Filter by:The purpose of this study is the evaluation of using bi-level positive airway pressure ventilation in candidates for fiber-optic bronchoscopy regarding benefits and drawbacks.
To learn if LADS is better than VESPA at preventing atelectasis during a robotic bronchoscopy.
This will be a prospective, randomized clinical trial, comparing the sternal alignment between the fixation with rigid plate X steel wires. Patients over 18 years of age, belonging to the lung transplant line in the State of São Paulo, who will undergo bilateral lung transplantation will be studied.
Lung cancer is one of the most common cancer diseases, globally and locally. Several health benefits of increased physical activity (PA) have been reported for people with cancer. PA plays a critical role across the cancer trajectory, from prevention through to post-diagnosis and has been proposed as an alternative for improving physical and psychosocial health outcomes, reducing cancer recurrence, and cancer-specific and all-cause mortality. Although there are a variety of exercise intervention programs for cancer patients, those programs were quite intensive, requiring individuals to commit extra time and effort. Feeling of overwhelmed appointments, lack of time, other barriers, including high cost and limited access to facilities are the most frequently reported barriers that prevent people from starting and maintaining exercise. Hence, the investigators propose to use a brief messaging lifestyle modification intervention program to incorporating simple and easy-to-do patient-centred home-based lifestyle-integrated exercise into daily activities of patients with lung cancer. The aims are to explore the feasibility of using instant messaging to enhance physical activity and improve their fatigue, emotion and quality of life, and obtain feedback from patients for intervention and study design improvement.
Efforts to identify circulating factors that predict severity of acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome(ALI/ARDS) patients is unrevealing. The primary purpose of this study is to verify our hypothesis that soluble CD74 might be a potential novel ALI/ARDS biomarker.
