Filter by:The major goal of "Influence of Inhaler Compliance on the Treatment of Asthma Patients" is to explore compliance rate outcome in adult asthmatic patients (20-80 years old) with mild to moderate persistent asthma according to American Thoracic Society (ATS) definition and diagnosis. The major endpoints include: 1. To increase the adherence rate of treatment by reminder intervention with correctly monitor patients' adherence rate by Asthma Supportive Kits 2. Eventually achieve best asthma care and management. All participants will use Asthma Supportive Kits for 24 weeks and return visit on week 5, 12, 24. Based on collected data, the study compares intervention and control group to see if active reminder intervention may effectively alter compliance rate, and corresponding outcomes, e.g., asthma control status, acute exacerbation events.
The study was conducted in the age range of 18-45 December, who were diagnosed with Cystic fibrosis.
Pulmonary diseases are common among patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and associated with a significantly increased morbidity, mortality, and lower self-reported health related quality of life. The investigators aim to diagnose and categorise SLE patients in regards of pulmonary disease and introduce alternative diagnostic tools. The investigators will perform a cross-sectional study of a population-based study population of SLE patients. The participants will undergo review of medical record, a clinical assessment, body plethysmography, six-minute walk test, high-resolution computed tomography of the thorax (HRCT), thoracic and diaphragmatic ultrasound, blood sampling with analysis of autoantibodies, and three questionnaires. After the investigations, pulmonary diseases among the participants will be diagnosed at a multidisciplinary discussion by a specialised pulmonologist with contribution from a rheumatologist and a radiologist. The investigators believe that the study will increase the understanding of pulmonary diseases among SLE patients, which could improve overall disease management. The investigators will introduce new alternative diagnostic tools, that could ease diagnosing pulmonary disease among SLE.
It is planned to use the CLE probe and cryoprobe simultaneously after detection of the round focus. It is planned to include 5 patients with suspected central airway invading lung carcinoma and 15 patients with suspected peripheral lung carcinoma who have an indication for bronchoscopic histologic confirmation.
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.
This study aims to evaluate the quality of images when low-concentration iodine contrast agents is used in chest CT with low tube voltage and if they can be used in routine imaging. The primary endpoint of the study was the quality of the image and comparison of chest CT by using low and conventional concentration iodine contrast agents with low tube voltage and chest CT by using the conventional concentration iodine contrast agents with the conventional tube voltage; The secondary endpoint is optimizing chest CT protocol using an iodine contrast agent.
Vapendavir (VPV) is potent virostatic antiviral agent active against all known enterovirus species. VPV binds to the viral capsid, thereby inhibiting viral attachment to the target cell and, independently, preventing release of viral RNA (ribonucleic acid) into the cell. Alt VPV-101 is meant to investigate vapendavir in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who develop a rhinoviral infection. This is a Phase 1, open-label, unblinded study. The primary objective of this study is to characterize single and multiple dose (plus a loading dose) plasma PK profiles of VPV in healthy participants (Group A) and participants with COPD (Group B). Group A is an open-label, 2-sequence, and up to a 3-period, cross-over study to assess the single-dose PK parameters and safety of VPV. Healthy participants may opt to participate in only the first 2 periods, all 3 periods or BID dosing, but it is preferred that participants complete all 3 periods. Group B is an open-label, multi-dose investigation of VPV PK parameters and safety in participants with COPD. Post-dose, follow up will continue for a minimum of 14 days and a maximum of 30 days, depending on which Group the participant is in and which periods said participant completes. There is a target for up to 24 adult participants comprised of healthy participants and participants with COPD.
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.
