Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of yoga in reducing shortness of breath in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Patients in this study must have moderate to severe COPD and be primarily limited by shortness of breath.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS).
To examine the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea and lipid metabolism.
To elucidate the mechanisms underlying inter-patient variation in response to montelukast, a drug for asthma.
The research is to evaluate benzene metabolism after exposure at levels that can be found in the environment, such as the higher end concentrations in the air inside cars and buses while being driven in heavy traffic and inside private and public parking garages. To do so breath, urine, and blood samples prior to, during and after being exposed to benzene as well as benzene levels and benzene metabolites present are measured.
The purpose of this study is to identify modifier genes in cystic fibrosis (CF).
To localize within the genome a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease susceptibility gene.
To examine possible relationships between antibiotic use, as determined by prescriptions filled, and asthma in children ages 6 to 7.
To determine lung airway responses following chlorine gas exposure.
To investigate the relationship of childhood lifestyle and physical characteristics to prevalent asthma.
