Filter by:The aims of this study are - Demonstrating superior efficacy of Prospan® Hustenzäpfchen compared to Placebo in children suffering from acute bronchitis accompanied by coughing - Characterisation of safety and tolerability of Prospan® Hustenzäpfchen in comparison with placebo.
Hypothesis: Add-on therapy with oral montelukast (Mon) to inhaled budesonide (BUD) may achieve better control of cough caused by nonasthmatic eosinophilic bronchitis (NAEB) with faster reduction of airway eosinophilia. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of add-on therapy with Mon to inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) in the treatment of adult patients with chronic/subacute cough caused by NAEB diagnosed in outpatient setting. Primary endpoint：cough severity rated as cough visual analogue score (VAS)1 and eosinophil count in induced sputum during 4-week BUD monotherapy or Mon adjunct therapy.
This study investigates the role of azithromycin treatment for lymphocytic bronchitis/bronchiolitis after lung transplantation.
The aim of this post-marketing observational study (PMOS) is to describe the relief of symptoms, tolerability and compliance of treatment with Klacid®SR in a dose 1000 mg once daily in patients with lower respiratory tract infection or in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis (AECB) or mild community-acquired pneumonia (CAP).
To describe the relief of symptoms, tolerability, and compliance of treatment with Klacid® sustained release (SR) at a dose of 1000 mg once daily in patients with acute tracheitis, acute tracheobronchitis, acute bronchitis, or in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis or mild community-acquired pneumonia. This postmarketing observational study is non-interventional and is being conducted in a prospective, single-arm, single-country, multicenter format. Klacid SR will be prescribed in usual manner in accordance with the terms of the local market authorization with regards to dose, population, and indication as well as with local guidelines.
The main purpose of this project is to establish the additional value of eccentric versus concentric exercise to optimize muscle function in patients with severe COPD. With this pilot project the investigators expect that an eccentric endurance training protocol adapted to severe COPD patients will lead to gains in muscle strength, the primary outcome, and cellular adaptation (muscle morphology and oxidative capacity, mitochondrial respiratory capacity) when compared to a concentric training approach. This information will be essential if the investigators want to design and power a randomized clinical trial that will allow assessing effectiveness of this novel rehabilitation approach.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of azithromycin to produce a significant change in the cough-related health status, measured with the Dutch version of the Leicester Cough Questionnaire in patiënts with COPD gold classification 2-4 and chronic productive coughing.
This single-center, randomized, double-blind and controlled study aims to examine the effect of a fermented dairy product containing the probiotic Lactobacillus casei DN-114 001 (Actimel® = tested product) on the incidence of respiratory and gastro-intestinal common infectious diseases (cumulated number of infections during the intervention period: primary criteria), and on immune functions in healthy shift workers. Volunteers received either 200g/day of tested product (N=500) or control product (N=500) for 3-months, followed by a 1-month follow-up.
Mechanically Ventilated patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) often present with fever, and purulent sputum, but without radiological evidence of pneumonia. These patients may have tracheobronchitis. Some suspect that this condition precedes the development of pneumonia. Antibiotic treatment in tracheobronchitis is controversial. The investigators will recruit patients with tracheobronchitis and randomize them into 2 groups. One group will be treated with antibiotics and the other group will serve as control.
We aim to study whether the use of inhaled antibiotics may have an impact on the incidence of tracheobronchitis and pneumonia associated with the use of mechanical ventilation. The investigators hypothesize that this could be possible by decreasing the population of gram negative germs that colonize the lumen of tracheal tube and upper airways.
