Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to clinically validate a system for the monitoring of patients' respiratory function and automated oxygen treatment proposal using non-invasive ventilation devices in the treatment of intensive care patients with acute or chronic lung diseases exacerbations. Participants clinical parameters will be monitored and samples will be sent to a clinical laboratory for analysis (arterial blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate will be continuously recorded, and FeO2 and CO2 will be measured with the help of an additional sensor).
To evaluate the regenerative capacities of mesenchymal cells composing the microenvironment of alveolar type 2 cells in a population of patients, undergoing thoracic surgery for suspected cancer, who are smokers with and without COPD compared to non-smokers patients
The COPD Patient-Powered Research Network (COPD PPRN) is a patient research registry with the goal of enrolling 75,000 or more COPD patients and those at risk who are willing to share their heath information over several years and participate in research. The COPD PPRN has built an online platform to allow volunteers to enroll electronically, complete surveys, be contacted about studies they qualify for and become connected to COPD resources. The goal of the registry is to speed research to find better treatments for COPD and ultimately a cure.
This study is designed as a prospective study, with the primary endpoint being changes in pulmonary hemodynamic parameters after ELVR in patients with severe emphysema. Secondary endpoints will be changes in lung function parameters, exercise capacity, and QoL.
The investigators assume that by analysis of different volatile organic compounds in the breath, using nanotechnology, the investigators will be able to identify a unique respiratory signature of different diseases including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and pulmonary hypertension.
