Filter by:The purpose of this study is to describe patients' clinical and self-reported outcomes of treatment with budesonide / glycopyrronium / formoterol Metered dose inhaler (BGF MDI) in Romania in real-life setting, up to 6 month of observation period. The study will focus primarily on the change in self-perceived health status in the first 12 weeks (3 months) of treatment with no pre-defined hypothesis.
Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is an effective intervention for reducing hospital readmissions, secondary events, and mortality in patients with respiratory pathologies. The program should not be improved by introducing new subjects such as circadian rhythm.
This aim of this study is to investigate whether active alerts during CVSM result in an increased number of diagnostic tests and treatments in complication free patients, hypothesizing that more interventions are performed in the CVSM-group than standard of care (EWS) group.
This study aims to investigate the effect of music therapy on dyspnea severity and quality of life indicators in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) admitted to the intensive care unit. The study will be conducted at Isparta City Hospital and Kumluca State Hospital in Antalya, Turkey, using an experimental design. Patients will be divided into experimental and control groups, selected using randomization. Patients in the experimental group will receive music therapy in the Hüseyni maqam, while those in the control group will not receive any music therapy. Life indicators and Modified Borg Scale (MBS) values of patients in the experimental group will be recorded before, immediately after, and 30 minutes post-application. Music therapy will be administered to patients for only one day, once in the morning. Data for patients in the control group will be collected at the same time intervals. The results of this study aim to contribute to the literature on the impact of music therapy on dyspnea severity and quality of life indicators in COPD patients.
The aim of the study is To compare between the effect of both pelvic floor and Pilates exercises on urinary incontinences in COPD patients.
The main objective of this project is to identify mechanisms for lung regeneration in patients with COPD induced by exercise training. The hypothesis is that adjusted exercise training improves disease outcome in these patients by decrease remodelling processes linked to oxidative stress, inflammatory and/or immunological pathways in the lung. Along the way, the investigator also expect to identify (or validate) biomarkers mirroring systemic processes such as reduced inflammation and ameliorating the epithelial barrier in these patients. These events may additionally act as potential targets for interventions. Objectives (i) Evaluate biomarkers for regenerative processes, matrix turnover, stem cell activity and inflammatory patterns in lung tissue biopsies, blood- and urine samples correlated to vital lung parameters and physical capacity, before and after attending an exercise-training program. (ii) Study the effects of exercise training on the pulmonary ventilation/perfusion ratio and quality of life. (iii) Evaluate the relation between pathophysiology in the lung evaluated by CT scan, and systemic response measured by muscle biopsies and biomarkers in blood/urine. (iv) Investigate in vitro cell behaviour and remodelling/regenerative processes altered in COPD patients upon exercise training (aim 1).
This study will be a randomized control trial. A total of 68 patients will be recruited and randomly assign to the experimental group or the control group in a 1:1 ratio. Participants in the experimental group will receive a 8-week Ba-duan jin exercise training intervention along with Forced Expiratory Technique at least 3 days a week and 30 minutes a day, while participants in the control group will be only given Forced Expiratory intervention and will be told to maintain their original lifestyle for 8 weeks along with standard COPD treatment.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations are risk factors for disease progression and short-term re- hospitalizations. We propose a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of a one-device multiparameter telemonitoring in reducing functional decline, symptoms, and risk of re-hospitalization of patients discharged after hospitalization for exacerbated COPD.
The aim of this observational study is to translate the principle of individualised exercise prescription into the evaluation of daily absolute and relative intensity physical activity. The main questions this study aims to answer are: - Phase 1: What does physical activity (intensity) mean to people with COPD? - Phase 2: Are there differences between time spent in absolute and relative physical activity for people with COPD? Phase 1 Participants will take part in semi-structured interview (30-45 minutes) about living with COPD and perceptions of physical activity and how they perceive intensity. This will also include photovoice and photo-elicitation. Demographic information will be recorded and participants will also complete several respiratory symptom questionnaires. Phase 2: Participants will take part in physical activity testing before and after pulmonary rehabilitation while wearing physical activity monitors. Demographic information will be recorded and participants will also complete several respiratory symptom and physical activity questionnaires. Participants will also wear the physical activity monitors for 8 days after the pre-testing sessions and after their final pulmonary rehabilitation class. Sub-study: Participants will be asked to take images of barriers during physical activity, facilitators during physical activity, feelings during physical activity and types of physical activity they take part in for 8 days after their final pulmonary rehabilitation class. Participants will then take part in a semi-structured interview about the images their have taken while doing physical activity.
The objective of this observational cohort study is to provide comprehensive evaluation and early warning for elderly patients with chronic diseases. The main question it aims to answer is: How to explore effective evaluation methods for diseases in elderly patients based on the coexistence of multiple diseases and high individual heterogeneity? How to explore the key indicators and influencing factors of adverse events in elderly patients.. Participants will be followed up at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months to obtain adverse event information.
