Filter by:The aim is to identify the underlying disease mechanisms driving specific asthma phenotypes as well as certain disease outcomes and their relation to impaired indoor air quality. This may also help in underpinning specific target mechanisms in order to personalize and improve current treatment options in childhood asthma and develop more successful prevention strategies. This will be done by combining data from detailed clinical phenotyping with multiple -omics data.
Caregiver-child dyads will be recruited during child's hospital admission for asthma exacerbation. Recruitment sites will be mainly Children's National Hospital Sheikh Zayed campus, as well as regional partners: Holy Cross Hospital, and Mary Washington Hospital. After enrollment, baseline data will be collected from caregiver. Caregiver-child dyads will be randomized (1:1 ratio) into the control arm or intervention arm. Control arm will receive the standard of care after hospital discharge. Intervention arm will receive the SOC plus an asthma navigator support after hospital discharge. Caregivers in both arms will complete data collection surveys (either in-person or via telehealth) at 3-,6-, 9-, and 12- month post enrollment.
Evaluation of cardiac biomarkers and the left and right ventricular systolic and diastolic function in asthmatic children in Assuit university hospital
The main purpose of 'Serious Games' (SG) is to provide opportunities for constructive learning and training. They are well-accepted instruments in therapeutic interventions and have been found to be efficient to improve cognitive areas, social interaction and motor skill function. The SG is expected to improve asthmatic children's behaviour by providing a positive psychosocial experience with positive effects on asthma outcomes. Participants will be subjected to SG as part of routine medical care, and researchers will study the effect of SG. The aim of the study is to evaluate the impact of an innovative SG on neurobehavioural patterns through a randomised controlled pilot study in adolescents with controlled asthma and on the modulation of the expression pattern of CTRA 'Conserved Transcriptional Response to Adversity'.
The primary aim of this study is to compare the respiratory function, respiratory muscle strength, functional capacity, and lower extremity strength of children with asthma and healthy children in the same age group. The secondary aim of our study is to determine the determinants of functional capacity in children with asthma.
This is single-center cross-sectional mechanistic study in lean and obese children with moderate-severe asthma, followed by a randomized, SHAM-controlled trial of Inspiratory Training (IT). The primary outcome is to describe the contributions of inspiratory muscle dysfunction (IMD) and Small Airway Dysfunction (SAD) to obesity-related versus non-obesity-related asthma. The study will involve training (IT) for 8 weeks at three intensity levels (SHAM, low and high). Target dose: 150 inspirations three times weekly. The population includes 6 to 17-year-old children with moderate to severe asthma and with a body mass index qualifying as normal habitus (BMI 5th to 84th CDC percentile) or obese habitus (≥95th percentile BMI and less than 170% of the 95th CDC percentile). Participants will be involved for 10 weeks. The investigators will use analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) to estimate and test the difference in mean values of baseline measures between obese and non-obese cohorts. Covariates will include age, sex (male/female), race/ethnicity, baseline asthma severity (NAEPP step 2 vs ≥3), and atopy status
The goal of this open-label, single arm home intervention feasibility study is to improve quality of life for children ages 4-16 years with asthma. The main questions it aims to answer are: - How can Home-Based Environmental Interventions (HEI) improve home air-quality problems in the home? - How can HEI improve asthma outcomes in children? Participants will be receiving HEI and completing asthma surveys.
This study aims to examine the effects of a digital game designed for respiratory training in childhood asthma. Fifteen children aged 8-14 years with asthma were included in the study. There were two groups a digital game group (n=9) and a control group (n=6). Respiratory training was given to the digital game group with a digital game. The control group was followed with medication. Both groups were evaluated at baseline and after 3 weeks.
The aim of this study was to compare the duration of breast milk intake, vitamin D intake, asthma control level and physical activity levels between obese asthmatic children and non-obese children. This was a prospective study in children aged 8-17 years with asthma. Asthma control level was evaluated by asthma control test and physical activity level was evaluated by Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children (IPAQ-C) and leisure time activity scale.
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to investigate the optimal supportive treatment of bronchiolitis in infants from 0-12 months of age. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - To investigate whether isotonic saline should be used as supportive treatment for children with bronchiolitis, and if so, identify the optimal route of administration. The primary outcome is duration of hospitalization. - To investigate the current epidemiology of the viral pathogens causing bronchitis in children in Denmark, and to assess whether children infected with specific pathogens might benefit from treatment with isotonic saline. The children are randomized after inclusion through computer randomization to one of the 3 arms in the study: 1. Nebulized isotonic saline 2. Nasal irrigation with isotonic saline 3. No treatment with saline The investigators will compare treatment with saline (both methods) with no treatment, and the investigators will also compare the two methods of delivery of saline (nebulized vs. nasal irrigation).
