Filter by:The purpose of this study is to investigate the auxiliary benefits of three-dimensional printed activating assistive devices for soft-mist inhaler on patients' utilization habit.
The present study aims to investigate the effect of different exercise training in patients with chronic respiratory disease.
This study explores the effects of music therapy intervention on anxiety and time perception during pulmonary rehabilitation.
This study aims to assess the clinical presentation, radiological patterns and outcome of COVID-19 infection in patients with chronic pulmonary disease. Inter-relationship between the severity of COVID-19 infection and chronic pulmonary diseases.
The morbidity rate of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is increasing year by year. It is predicted to be the third leading cause of death worldwide in 2030. People with COPD have a high risk of needing a ventilator due to the decline of lung function, the increase of secretions, the dysfunction of airway clearance, and the obstruction and loss of alveolar elasticity.
Chronic pulmonary disease like interstitial lung disease (ILD) and chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) are a significant health problem in Canada and around the world. In addition to the respiratory impairment resulting to a progressive dyspnea, these diseases are also characterized by a decrease in exercise tolerance and muscle dysfunction which affect the patient's quality of life. Respiratory rehabilitation is the cornerstone of the management of chronic disease and it includes a set of personalized care mainly delivered in person by a transdisciplinary team and with the objectives of reducing the symptoms felt by the participants and improving their physical and psychosocial condition. The current containment due to the COVID-19 pandemic increase the sedentary behavior of patients and prevents the holding of any respiratory rehabilitation activity. In this context, tele-rehabilitation appears to be a particularly well-suited solution because it would make it possible to offer a respiratory rehabilitation in a safe and effective manner while minimizing contact with the participants. Although some studies support the feasibility of this intervention, more data is needed to validate its routine clinical application. The main objective of this study is to verify the safety and the feasibility of delivering pulmonary rehabilitation treatments entirely at home via a telerehabilitation patform developed at the Institut universitraire de cardiologie et de pneumologie de Québec (IUCPQ), and document its effectiveness in people with chronic respiratory disease. The secondary objectives will be: 1) to explore the effects of a telerehabilitation programm on exercise tolerance, muscle function, functional capacity and quality of life, and 2) to assess the satisfaction of participants and health care providers with telerehabilitation.
Urinary incontinence is a frequent chronic condition in general population. It is even more frequent in people with chronic respiratory disease due to several factors, including but not limited to frequent cough. Urinary incontinence may be more frequent during exercise so that it may contribute to the general deconditioning associated with chronic respiratory disease. Although pulmonary rehabilitation is a cornerstone in the management of people with chronic respiratory disease to break this spiral of worsening dyspnea, little is known about the prevalence of urinary incontinence among those people referred for pulmonary rehabilitation nor about its impact on the effects of the program.
Mental disorders have been shown to be associated with a number of general medical conditions (also referred to as somatic or physical conditions). The investigators aim to undertake a comprehensive study of comorbidity among those with treated mental disorders, by using high-quality Danish registers to provide age- and sex-specific pairwise estimates between the ten groups of mental disorders and nine groups of general medical conditions. The investigators will examine the association between all 90 possible pairs of prior mental disorders and later GMC categories using the Danish national registers. Depending on whether individuals are diagnosed with a specific mental disorder, the investigators will estimate the risk of receiving a later diagnosis within a specific GMC category, between the start of follow-up (January 1, 2000) or at the earliest age at which a person might develop the mental disorder, whichever comes later. Follow-up will be terminated at onset of the GMC, death, emigration from Denmark, or December 31, 2016, whichever came first. Additionally for dyslipidemia, follow-up will be ended if a diagnosis of ischemic heart disease was received. A "wash-out" period will be employed in the five years before follow-up started (1995-1999), to identify and exclude prevalent cases from the analysis. Individuals with the GMC of interest before the observation period will be considered prevalent cases and excluded from the analyses (i.e. prevalent cases were "washed-out"). When estimating the risk of a specific GMC, the investigators will consider all individuals to be exposed or unexposed to the each mental disorder depending on whether a diagnosis is received before the end of follow-up. Persons will be considered unexposed to a mental disorder until the date of the first diagnosis, and exposed thereafter.
This is a phase III, randomized, controlled, open label study with two vaccine regimens. The study will assess the relative safety and immunogenicity of vaccine regimens comparing adjuvanted versus non-adjuvanted formulations of A(H1N1) inactivated influenza virus vaccine in subjects with Chronic Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Heart Disease, or Diabetes Mellitus, and to compare safety and immunogenicity data with a contemporaneously enrolled control group of age-comparable, healthy subjects. Because certain individuals may be hypo-responsive to influenza vaccination, additional studies with high-risk groups are warranted in order to determine the optimal vaccine formulation and dosing schedule for prevention of novel H1N1 virus infection.
