Filter by:The clinical trial aimes to evaluate multiple large language models in respiratory disease consultations by comparing their performance to that of human doctors across three major medical consultation scenarios. The main question aims to answer are: - How do large language models perform in comparison to human doctors in diagnosing and consulting on respiratory diseases across various clinical scenarios? In three clinical scenarios including the online query section, the disease diagnosis section and the medical explanation section, research assistants or volunteers will be asked to cross-question all LLMs or real doctors using predefined online questions and their own issues. After each questioning session, a short washout period is implemented to eliminate potential biases.
Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Atock Dry Syrup with Acute bronchial Patients
Multicenter, randomized open label clinical trial to evaluate IEM and HS as concomitant therapy for respiratory tract infection in patients under artificial ventilation in the ICU. Lung infection is a serious complication that may occur during hospital stay and may need artificial respiration or even develop during artificial ventilation for other causes. Current specific treatment consists of intravenous antibiotics. The current study evaluated whether aspiration and drainage of infected sputum helps curing this severe complication and whether nebulized HS has additional benefits, like eradicating bacteria or reducing inflammation.
The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to compare telehealth and onsite supervised maintenance exercise program for adults with COPD. The specific aims of the study are: - To compare 8-week supervised maintenance program delivered onsite and via tele-rehab with no maintenance for patients with COPD following discharge from traditional exercise or physical therapy or onsite outpatient rehabilitation programs on clinical outcomes (dyspnea, exercise capacity, physical function, physical activity, and quality of life) at 8 weeks and 4-months post-intervention. - To compare the differences in dyspnea, exercise capacity, physical function, physical activity, and quality of life between an 8-week maintenance program delivered onsite and via tele-rehab at 8-weeks and 4-months post-intervention in patients with COPD following discharge from traditional onsite outpatient rehabilitation. Participants in both intervention groups (onsite and tele-rehab) will undergo a baseline onsite assessment followed by an 8-week supervised exercise intervention either onsite or in a telehealth setting. Control group will receive biweekly check in calls, but no active intervention.
Chronic bronchitis is a non-allergic, inflammatory disease that is developed because of inflamed bronchial walls, and, is characterized by persistent cough with sputum for 3 months for 2 consecutive years at least. It affects males more than females at the age of 40 years, with increasing incidence as the age progresses. Chronic bronchitis is associated with multiple health-related issues like; dyspnea, reduced lung volumes and capacities, poor quality of life, and physical inactivity. Its clinical manifestations are coped with using the pharmaceutical approach, surgical maneuvers, and pulmonary rehabilitation. In the context of pulmonary rehabilitation, pursed lip breathing and stacked breathing are evident to deal with symptoms of chronic bronchitis and make the individuals lead a physically active and healthy life. In this research study, patients will be enrolled with strict adherence to eligibility criteria and then allocated into two groups by using the convenience sampling technique after having their written informed consent form. The participants will either receive pursed lip breathing technique or a stacked breathing technique, which will be followed by baseline treatment at every session. Both groups will be then subjected to receive intervention that will take a duration of 40 minutes every session, 30 minutes of baseline treatment, and 10 minutes of intervention, for the period of 2 weeks with the frequency of performing the intervention thrice per day. The outcomes will be evaluated by using a modified Borg scale for dyspnea, a peak expiratory flow meter for lung volumes, a pulse oximeter for oxygenation, and EuroQol; 5D-5L for quality of life. Data will be recorded at pre-treatment, on the 1st day, and post-treatment, on the 14th day. The recorded data will be then entered and analyzed using SPSS (Statistical Package of Social Sciences) version 23.
Copeptin serves as a biomarker emanating from the pituitary gland, functioning as the precursor to arginine vasopressin (AVP). Its role in the regulation of endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, and water-electrolyte balance has been established. The measurement of AVP levels poses challenges due to its brief half-life and the intricate nature of its detection method. In contrast, copeptin provides an indirect means of gauging circulating AVP levels, as it can be conveniently assessed through a sandwich immunoassay. As a neuroendocrine stress hormone, copeptin emerges as a prognostic indicator, reflective of an individual's stress burden. Moreover, its applicability extends to various acute conditions such as ischemic stroke or myocardial infarction. Notably, copeptin proves to be a dependable tool in the differential diagnosis of diverse ailments characterized by polyuria and polydipsia. Lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) stands as the predominant cause of morbidity and mortality among children and adolescents globally. Notably, copeptin has demonstrated utility in forecasting the severity and complications associated with severe pneumonia in adults. While early investigations into copeptin's role in pediatric LRTI suggest its potential for diagnosing pneumonia and predicting complications, the outcomes of these studies present conflicting results. Although there has been a notable increase in studies on copeptin in pediatric patients over the past decade, research specifically exploring its correlation with pneumonia remains scarce. This prospective case-control study is designed to investigate the potential association between copeptin levels and the severity of illness in pediatric patients with pneumonia. The study aims to determine whether copeptin levels can serve as a reliable predictor of disease severity in pneumonia, offering valuable insights for clinical application. The outcomes of this research may contribute significantly to our comprehension of copeptin's role in disease prognosis and management, thereby facilitating the development of more efficacious diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Additionally, the study seeks to identify the factors influencing copeptin levels and establish a cut-off value for copeptin in pediatric patients diagnosed with pneumonia.

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.
