Filter by:The goal of this validation study is to provide further evidence of the metrological properties of the 6-minute stepper test in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or interstitial lung disease (ILD). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is the 6-minute stepper test valid when compared to the 6-minute walk test and a maximal cardiopulmonary cycling test? 2. Does the 6-minute stepper test give the same results when conducted through direct (i.e., therapist in person) and remote (i.e., videoconferencing) monitoring? 3. Is the 6-minute stepper test safe when conducted at the home of the individual with direct (i.e., therapist in person) or remote (i.e., videoconferencing) monitoring? Participants will: - Conduct the 6-minute stepper test (several trials on separate days) - Conduct the 6-minute walk test (1 trial on 1 day) - Conduct a maximal cardiopulmonary test on a cycle ergometer (1 trial on 1 day) - Participate in a semi-structured interview to provide their feedback with regards to the 6-minute stepper test
A study to identify patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis - Associated Interstitial Lung Disease (RA-ILD) that are at the highest risk for progression. The goal of the investigators is to recruit a group of patients with RA-ILD and collect information to help us understand more about disease progression. The investigators will do this using a combination of clinical, radiologic, and biologic features.
This is a registry-based, randomized, controlled clinical trial of the effect of added high-flow oxygen therapy (using the device Lumis HFT) during one year in people with long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or interstitial lung disease (ILD).
The goal of this observational study is to examine clinical utility of 18F-FAPI-RGD PET/CT imaging in evaluating connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease. Participants will undergo clinical evaluation and 18F-FAPI-RGD PET/CT examination.
Interstitial lung diseases (ILD) are a complex group of diseases that cause significant morbidity and mortality, develop diffuse lung parenchyma and alveolar inflammation, as well as interstitial fibrosis, which refers to more than 200 diseases. Due to restrictive type ventilation disorder and impaired pulmonary gas exchange, pulmonary function has deteriorated in these patients and progressive shortness of breath, fatigue, cough and exercise intolerance are usually observed, which also affects the quality of life.
Effects of Incentive spirometry with and without Aerobic exercises on dyspnea, exercise capacity and quality of life in interstitial lung disease
Study LTI-401 is an open-label, multicenter study which will evaluate the safety and tolerability of LIQ861 in subjects who have WHO Group 1 & 3 PH.
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).
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a heterogeneous group of diseases consisting of variable amounts of inflammation and fibrosis and a wide variety of acute and chronic pulmonary disorders affecting both the interstitium and lung parenchyma. The use of gamification elements in order to encourage changes in health behaviors such as physical activity appears as an entertaining option by increasing extrinsic motivation in sedentary individuals or in diseases where physical activity is targeted. The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of Nintendo Wii applied in addition to aerobic exercise in patients with ILD on exercise capacity and peripheral muscle strength, symptoms, activity and participation with objective methods, based on evidence.
The use of lung ultrasound is instrumental in the evaluation of many chest pathologies and its ability to detect pleuro-pulmonary pathology is widely accepted. However, the use of ultrasound to explore the state of the peripheral lung parenchyma, when the organ is still aerated, is a relatively new application. Horizontal and vertical artifacts are separate and distinct artifacts that can be seen during ultrasound examination of the lungs. While the practical role of lung ultrasound artifacts is accepted to detect and monitor many conditions, further research is needed for the physical interpretation of ultrasound artifacts. These artifacts are diagnostic signs, but we don't fully understand their origin. The artifactual information deriving from the surface acoustic interaction, beyond the pleural line, in the ultrasound images of the normally aerated and non-deflated lung, represents the final result of complex interactions of acoustic waves with a specific three-dimensional structure of the biological tissue. Thus, the umbrella term "vertical artifacts" oversimplifies many physical phenomena associated with a pathological pleural plane. There is growing evidence that vertical artifacts are caused by physiological and pathological changes in the superficial lung parenchyma. Therefore, the need emerges to explore the physical phenomena underlying the artifactual ultrasound information deriving from the surface acoustic interaction of ultrasound with the pleuro-pulmonary structures.
