Filter by:Cardiovascular disease (CVD) causes a quarter of all deaths in the United Kingdom (UK). This is the single biggest area where the National Health Service (NHS) can save lives by detecting and treating risk factors early. Improvements in control of blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, kidney disease, as well as weight loss in individuals who are obese, have been shown to reduce the risk of CVD and death. The NHS has guidelines for investigations and treatments for risk factors recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). Though it is known that better control of risk factors will reduce the risk of CVD the investigators do not know whether having extra appointments in primary care with heart specialists can lead to better treatment and better control of risk factors. The OPTIMISE trial (OPTIMISation of Cardio-renal-metabolic-pulmonary Disease Guideline Adherence in High Risk Community Dwelling Individuals) will compare patients who have consultations at a local General Practitioner (GP) practice by a cardiology professional to optimise the treatment of their risk factors (OPTIMISE) with those patients who receive standard care (Standard care). Standard care is patients being seen by their GP at routine care appointments. Participants in the OPTIMISE arm will be reviewed by the cardiology professional and recommended treatment in line with current NICE guidance. They will be seen at 3 months to review their treatment and potentially adjusted to ensure it meets NICE guidelines. Participants in the standard arm will have data related to their cardiovascular, renal, metabolic and pulmonary risk factors collected through their Electronic Health Record (EHR). At 6 months, all participants will be seen to find out changes to their prescribed medication and the effect of this on their blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar level, and body mass index (BMI). All participants will also complete a quality of life questionnaire prior to randomisation study and at 6 months to identify any differences between the arms and time points.
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the ability of a new bronchoscope adapter called "leak-free adapter" to limit the amount of air leaking out to the operating room (OR) from the ventilator in intubated patients who undergo bronchoscopy.
The goal of this randomized control trial is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of using a spray nozzle, compared to the conventional method, for topical anesthesia by the spray-as-you-go technique in reducing cough frequency, improving cough, discomfort, tolerance, satisfaction, reducing the dosage of lidocaine consumption of patients during flexible bronchoscopy.
The objective of this research is to translate the Tele-Pulmonary Rehabilitation Acceptance Scale into Turkish and assess its reliability and accuracy.
The vestibular system and the pulmonary system are two critical components of the human body that are involved in maintaining balance, coordination, and the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide This study aim to investigate the impact of pulmonary function on the vestibular system in children. Children aged 4 to 10 years will be recruited from Future Academy School in March 2023. Pulmonary function will be measured using digital spirometry, and balance will be evaluated using the Mini-SITCIB test, which tested vision, proprioception, and the vestibular system using mobile sensors fixed near the center of gravity. Features from the sensor data will be extracted using Python 3.10 code, and the SPSS program will used to compare these features between the two groups.
Influence of early standing training on ICU patients
Effects of standing at different angles on transpulmonary pressure
Evaluation of the effect of pulmonary rehabilitation on patients with high flow oxygen therapy
The incidence and prevalence of pulmonary disease due to Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) is increasing worldwide, and this trend has been confirmed in Korea. Treatment of NTM pulmonary disease is difficult and usually requires more than two years of long-term treatment, and the antibiotic regimens used in treatment vary. Therefore, it is difficult to track the natural history of patients with NTM pulmonary disease, to evaluate the treatment outcome, and to understand the effect of specific medicines on the outcome. Establishing a prospective registry of patients with NTM pulmonary disease is expected to accurately evaluate the progress, treatment modality, and treatment outcome of NTM pulmonary disease.
To determine the safety and efficacy of Amniotic and Umbilical Cord Tissue for the treatment of the following condition categories: Orthopedic, Neurologic, Urologic, Autoimmune, Renal, Cardiac and Pulmonary Conditions. The hypotheses are that the treatments are not only extremely safe, but also statistically beneficial for all conditions. Outcomes will be determined by numerous valid outcome instruments that compile general quality of life information along with condition-specific information as well.
