Filter by:The primary rationale for this study is to evaluate the effect of once daily montelukast on duration of acute illness in infants with first-time bronchiolitis.
The investigators have obtained compelling evidence that the development of anti-human leukocyte antigen (anti-HLA) antibodies against mismatched donor antigens significantly correlates with the development of bronchiolitis obliterans (BOS). Further, these anti-HLA antibodies are developed at least 15 months prior to any clinical evidence of BOS. This lag period between the development of anti-HLA antibodies and the onset of BOS gives us an opportunity to intervene to delay and/or prevent the development of BOS.
Bronchiolitis is a common lower respiratory disease typically affecting infants and children generally younger than 2 years of age. The disease leads to hospital admissions, is a major cause for hospitalisation of young children and infants during winter epidemics, may be severe sometimes requiring ventilatory support and rarely death. The clinical disease as described by Court is characterised by nasal flaring, tachypnoea, dyspnoea, chest recessions, crepitations and sometimes sibiliations. Respiratory Syncytial virus is the most common cause, but also other respiratory vira may cause the disease. Bronchiolitis is a well known risk factor of asthma development in childhood1,2. Management is generally supportive, whereas symptom reducing therapy is debated with no international consensus. Furthermore, there are many unresolved questions related to the prognosis of bronchiolitis, its role in development of chronic lung disease in particular regarding the association between early bronchiolitis and asthma development. The present project will particularly focus on: 1)Treatment efficacy related to various outcomes during active disease, 2) retrospectively assess treatment efficacy in relation to later development of allergic disease, 3) assess the role between different vira and asthma prognosis as well as 4) identify possible prognostic factors involved in the progression from bronchiolitis to further airways disease.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether corticosteroids are beneficial to children with bronchiolitis whose breathing gets better after being given a breathing treatment with albuterol.
Chronic organ dysfunction after lung transplantation (BOS) is the most common cause of death in long-term survivors after lung transplantation and refractory to most interventions. Early markers will be established in this project study to overcome the problem of disease recognition when impairment of graft function is already taken place. Long-term longitudinal monitoring in stable recipients of innovative markers of airway inflammation and ventilation and new imaging techniques will define different entities of chronic organ dysfunction after LTx. A database and specimen service unit for further projects will be created. Hypothesis: This project will reveal new markers and imaging tools in recipients who develop BOS after lung transplantation. These tools will allow earlier diagnosis and more accurate monitoring of the disease process. Different patterns of the disease will be characterized.
A Phase III, multi-center, randomized, controlled study designed to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of Cyclosporine Inhalation Solution (CIS)in improving survival and preventing bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) when given prophylactically to lung transplant recipients in addition to their standard immunosuppressive regimen.
Prospective cohort, mono-center study included electronic data of home spirometry (HS, lung function) of lung transplant recipients
The purpose of this study is to determine whether nebulized hypertonic saline solution reduces the admission rate 48 hours after initial treatment in the emergency department, when compared to normal saline solution (placebo). We hypothesise that patients with bronchiolitis who receive nebulized hypertonic saline solution will have less respiratory distress, less duration of symptoms and therefore less risk of being hospitalized than those receiving normal saline solution.
The present study was conducted to study the impact community acquired respiratory virus (CARV) infections in an outpatient setting on graft function of lung transplant recipients. The study was aimed to identify risk factors for CARV infections. The study was further intended to investigate an association of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), cytomegalovirus (CMV) and human adenovirus (HAdV) with the development of BOS and to identify risk factors for virus detection in blood.
We will study if small children who become ill with respiratory distress during the RSV epidemic are better relieved with salbutamol nebulizations diluted in hypertonic (3%), instead of normal (0.9%) saline.
