Filter by:Introduction Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the respiratory airways and is considered a Public Health problem, which lacks a personalized multidisciplinary intervention, to allow the user to develop mastery in the self-management of his disease. The project intends to answer the question: What methods could be used to enhance the use of asthma controller therapy? Methods Randomized and controlled clinical trial. The sample consists of users with asthma at Family Health Units in the municipality of Oliveira de Azeméis. There will be an experimental group that will undergo structured rehabilitation nursing consultations, and a control group that will receive the usual nursing care appropriate for asthma management. Both groups will be subject to two evaluation moments with the CARAT test and the AQLQ-M questionnaire. Results The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions for people with asthma implemented within the framework of a structured rehabilitation nursing consultation. The investigators expected to observe a clinically significant improvement with regard to disease control, quality of life, and user empowerment.
This research plan aims to first collect data on the oral function and oral hygiene status of the elderly population in the community and to understand the normal model of oral frailty among the older adults in the community. Subsequently, a comparison will be made between the oral status of hospitalized patients and the community-dwelling elderly population. The goal is to verify whether oral odor can be used as an objective biological indicator following intervention.
The aim of the study was to investigate the short and long-term effects of breathing exercises on reaction time.
The purpose of this study is to compare physiological responses in cardiovascular variables between nose and mouth breathing at rest and during exercise.
Objective: To assess the effectiveness of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) employing an annatto-based (20%) dye combined with blue LED for the treatment of halitosis in mouth-breathing children. Methods: Fifty-two children six to twelve years of age with diagnoses of mouth breathing and halitosis (score of ≥ 3 on Breath Alert® portable breath meter) were randomly allocated to two groups (n = 26). Group 1: brushing, dental floss and aPDT applied to middle third of the dorsum of the tongue. Group 2: brushing, dental floss and tongue scraper. Breath meter results before, immediately after treatment as well as seven and 30 days after treatment were compared. The normality of the data will be determined using the Shapiro-Wilk test. Parametric data will be submitted to analysis of variance and nonparametric data will be compared using the Kruskal-Wallis test. The results of each treatment in the different periods of the study will be compared using the Wilcoxon test.
This study intends to investigate the improvement in patients with OSA through objective measurement, including oxygen desaturation index (ODI) and the percentage reduction in intermittent mouth puffing (IMP) before and after the intervention. The oral appliances are placed between the tongue and the soft palate to reduce the oral ventilation space. A total of 24 participants aged between 36 and 57 years were identified with ODI above 5 events/hour by measuring their blood oxygen and with an originally designed mouth puffing detector to find out those who were still mouth-puffed when their mouths were taped. A suitable appliance was chosen for the participants between the two originally designed oral appliances, tongue pressed device (TPD) and tongue elevated device (TED), and the intervention lasted for six weeks.
Introduction: Exercise induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) is a common finding in the pediatric population with and without asthma. EIB is suspected with a drop of 10-15% in Forced expiratory volume in the 1st second (FEV1) during exercise challenge test (ECT). Some researchers assume that oral breathing, in several mechanisms, increase hyper-responsiveness of the airways. Aim: Asses the effect of a nose clip and allergic rhinitis in EIB. Hypothesis: The use of a nose clip in exercise challenges will increase the rate of positive tests. However, we assume that children with symptomatic allergic rhinitis will not demonstrate similar trends. Methods: A prospective, single center cohort study in a pediatric pulmonology institute, at Ruth's children hospital, Rambam medical center, Haifa, Israel. Children referred for ECT will be registered to the study and will be evaluated in two separate visits. Visit 1 - ECT with a nose clip and visit 2 - ECT without a nose clip. Demographic and clinical data and measurements of serial vital signs, exercise data and lung functions will be taken, as well as Total Nasal Symptoms Score (TNSS) and Asthma Control Test (ACT) questionnaires.
Budesonide is one of the most common drugs uesd in children with adenotonsillar hypertrophy. This study aim to evaluate the efficacy of a short course of budesonide inhalation suspension via transnasal nebulization in children with adenotonsillar hypertrophy. The second aim is to compare budesonide inhalation suspension with budesonide aqueous nasal spray in adenotonsillar hypertrophy treatment.
This study will determine if airway resistance to airflow and pressure, measured by Impulse Oscillometry, is impacted in subjects with vocal cord disorders and whether these measurements are different when compared to subjects with asthma.
In this study the investigators record sounds of voice, breaths and cough of subjects who tested positive for COVID19. The investigators then feed these sounds into an artificial intelligence and see if it can learn to recognise features to make COVID19 diagnosis from these sounds in order to avoid to use swabs to test the general population.
