Filter by:This study evaluates the impact of a solar lighting system on kerosene lamp use, levels of indoor air pollution, and health in women living in rural Uganda. Half of the participants will receive the lighting systems immediately, while the other half will receive them after an 18 month delay.
The purpose of this study is to describe respiratory disorders in patients with severe multiple sclerosis (EDSS from 6.5).
This is a phase 4, randomized, double-blind, multicenter clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of YMC026 in respiratory disease patients with cough and sputum as the main symptoms
The aim of this study is to investigate if patients hospitalised for medical disease will increase their time spent out of bed during hospitalisation through simple feedback about physical activities from a mobile device. Physical activity is measured by means of a pair of accelerometers embedded in band aids placed on the thigh and on the chest. The measurement is continuous and data is uploaded to a secure internet-server. Summaries of physical activity (bedrest, sitting, standing, walking) is computed and can be displayed on a mobile device (tablet) through a dedicated application. The study will be conducted as a controlled cohort study in a large tertiary public hospital in Copenhagen, Denmark. Patients admitted to Department of Respiratory Medicine will be included and will have their physical activity measured during hospitalisation. Half of the cohort will receive visual feedback about the amount of physical activity from a mobile device placed on the bed table. A total of 108 patients will be included resulting in 6 periods of 18 patients each.
Ventilator hyperinflation (VHI) has been shown to be effective in improving respiratory mechanics, secretion removal, and gas exchange in mechanically ventilated patients; however, there are no recommendations on the best ventilator settings to perform the technique. Thus, the aim of this study was to compare six modes of VHI, concerning physiological markers of efficacy and safety criteria, in order to support the optimal VHI settings selection for mechanically ventilated patients. In a randomized, controlled and crossover study, 30 mechanically ventilated patients underwent 6 modes of ventilator hyperinflation. The maximum expansion (tidal volume), expiratory flow bias criteria (inspiratory and expiratory flow patterns), overdistension (alveolar pressure), asynchronies and hemodynamic variables (mean arterial pressure and heart rate) were assessed during the interventions.
The overall aim of the study is to determine the efficacy of oral ifetroban, a novel antagonist of T prostanoid (TP) receptors, as a treatment for patients with aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD).
Reviewing providers' current standard operating procedure on Respiratory Pathogen testing
This is a generic sample collection study for collecting blood, stool, rectal swabs, nasal washes, nasopharyngeal aspirates, nasopharyngeal swabs, throat swabs, nasal swabs, and urine from human sources. Subjects will be recruited from BioFire Diagnostics employees and from the general community. Subjects may be asked about recent or ongoing illness at the time of specimen collection and these symptoms will be recorded and attached to the sample. No other identifying information will be collected and the samples will be kept anonymous.The samples may be used internally or by external sites, such as the clinical study sites, for evaluating and determining performance characteristics of in vitro diagnostic devices.
This study verifies efficacy of collaborative care with Smart Health Management Program developed for patients with chronic illness. The aim of the study is to observe the changes in clinical indicators, quality of life and health related behaviors when providing self-management programs with ICT for chronic disease patients.
The TRACK ("Test for Respiratory and Asthma Control in Kids") questionnaire is a validated instrument to evaluate the control of respiratory symptoms in young children. The TRACK questionnaire was developed in English and a version in Portuguese is not available or validated, purpose of the present project.
