Filter by:The aim of the study In this study, pranayama yoga practices are the sub-dimensions of respiratory parameters, symptom and disease affection level, psychosocial adjustment and psychosocial adjustment in individuals with COPD. It was planned in a randomized controlled manner to examine the effects of healthcare compliance, professional environment, family environment, sexual relations, extended family relationships, social environment and psychological pressure. Pranayama yoga practices are aimed to reduce the frequency of symptoms and the level of disease exposure in individuals with COPD. Pranayama yoga practices are aimed to increase psychosocial adjustment in individuals with COPD. Pranayama yoga practices aim to increase compliance with health care, occupational, social and family environment, sexual and extended family relationships, and psychological pressure, which are the sub-dimensions of psychosocial adjustment in individuals with COPD. It is observed that all the yoga practices performed have improved the pulmonary functions of individuals with COPD, decrease the severity of symptoms, relieve inflammation, and increase muscle strength and physical performance. It was concluded that because of yoga increases awareness in patients, patients significantly reduce their level of depression and anxiety and adapt to social life. Yoga improves patients' quality of life by alleviating symptoms and increasing self-awareness. pranayama yoga practices are safe, home-applied, effective, cost-effective, complementary to drug therapy and can be performed during pulmonary rehabilitation for individuals with COPD (1-2) . The results of this study are important in guiding caregivers and healthcare professionals during the holistic care of COPD individuals and in pulmonary rehabilitation.
This study aims at determining the the efficiency and prognosis of using pirfenidone drug among asbestosis patients.
Evaluation of the efferocytosis capacities of blood Monocyte Derived Macrophages (MDM) from patients with a history of asbestosis or silica exposure and comparison of these capacities with those of MDM from healthy donors.
Prospective clinical pilot study for subjects diagnosed with Occupational Progressive Pneumoconiosis. Subjects will be treated with Nintedanib 150mg twice daily for 3 years.
To prospectively study novel blood and lung biomarkers of disease activity in patients with IPF and other interstitial lung disease with the aims of prognostic modelling and disease clustering
The goal of this research is to optimize the MRI system to obtain ideal lung images using Hyperpolarized (HP) Noble and Inert Fluorinated Gases as contrast agents. Lung coils tuned to the frequencies of these gases will be used. This study will take place at TBRHSC in the Cardiorespiratory Department and in the Research MRI facility.
Inhalation of dust containing asbestos results in a process of interstitial pulmonary fibrosis called asbestosis. The Forced Oscillation Technique (FOT) evaluates the respiratory mechanics describing resistive, elastic and inertial properties. We believe that this technique may contribute to the early diagnosis of asbestosis.
The overall objective of the Center was to develop a scientific data base for the control and prevention of acute and chronic lung injury caused by the inhalation of a variety of agents in the workplace and in the environment. There were two epidemiologic studies. Respiratory Effects of Exposures to Irritant Gases: To collect longitudinal lung function and symptom data in chemical manufacturing workers who were exposed to chemical irritants such as ammonia, chlorine, phosgene, isocyanates, sulphur dioxide, nitrous oxide, formaldehyde, organic acids, hydrochloric acid fluorides, other aldehydes, and acid anhydrides. Workers in the Cotton Textile Industry: To detect and quantitate the risk for the development of chronic obstructive airways disease which occurred in workers exposed to cotton dust in textile manufacturing.
