Filter by:This is a prospective, single-arm study to demonstrate the proof-of-concept of semi-elective lung transplantation. We plan to evaluate 15 patients that receive lung(s) delayed for transplantation under our study criteria.
Research show that inactivity during hospitalization is the norm and that the negative effects on muscle mass and the fitness of the patient will take a long time and hard work to recover afterwards. Especially for weaker elderly patients, just a few days in bed could mean that they are not able to take care of themselves afterwards, with increased care expenses and increased risk of relapse as a consequence. Even though this is known, the work to motivate patients to be active during their hospitalization is limited to few training sessions with only the most vulnerable patients. No tools are today available for objectively tracking and motivating patients to be active during their stay. Having such a professional tool would not only motivate but also shift the attention of the health professionals towards the importance of physical activity in the treatment of the patient. The aim of the studys is to investigate if patients hospitalised for medical disease will increase their time spent out of bed during hospitalisation through simple visual feedback about physical activities from a mobile bedside device.
According to EURAMOS-1, 17% of osteosarcoma patients were considered to have metastases at diagnosis. In this selected cohort, the reported 5-year EFS from diagnosis of 28% compares well to previous results reported from unselected cohorts of patients with only lung metastases. Resection of pulmonary metastases from osteosarcoma is a treatment option which has been shown to correlate with survival benefit and cure in select individuals. These patients are best addressed in a multidisciplinary fashion, with the involvement of a thoracic surgeon with experience in pulmonary metastasectomy. At the same time, the goal of surgical resection of pulmonary metastases from osteosarcoma is to render the patient completely disease free. "Tumor debulking" or "cytoreductive surgery" with incomplete resection has not demonstrated any survival benefit for patients with pulmonary metastases. Thus open thoracotomy is more preferred than VATS. However over the last decade in China, thoracotomy has not been adopted generally. More patients had chosen VATS or even hypo-fractionation radiotherapy, such as gamma knife, cyber knife and so on as a local treatment method. This study aims to investigate the survival of consecutive patients who had achieved a first complete surgical remission (CR) during combined-modality therapy on neoadjuvant or adjuvant PKUPH-OS protocol so as to discuss reasonable local therapy for resectable pulmonary osteosarcoma metastatic lesions.
TITLE EARSATS-19: In-ear measurement of blood oxygen saturation in COVID-19 follow up DESIGN Non-inferiority study AIMS To evaluate qualitative and quantitative performance of in-ear SpO2 monitoring against the gold standard right finger-clip pulse oximeter -- towards validation for use in COVID-19 in the acute ambulatory and long-term monitoring setting OUTCOME MEASURES In-ear SpO2 compared with gold-standard finger-clip pulse oximeter: Correlation between SpO2 measurements at rest Correlation between SpO2 measurements during 6 minute walk test Signal quality during 6 minute walk test Qualitative evaluation of clinical and patient user acceptability using questionnaires POPULATION 30 patients attending COVID-19 follow-up clinic and 30 patients with chronic lung disease attending routine outpatient investigations ELIGIBILITY Aged 18 and above, no upper age limit Able to give informed consent No abnormal ear anatomy. DURATION 12 months
This cohort study will obtain electronic health record (EHR) data (limited data set) from 21 health systems affiliated with the Cancer Center Cessation Initiative (C3I) network or health systems with large numbers of COVID-19 patients to explore whether smoking status, cancer history, and other risk factors among patients diagnosed with COVID-19 are associated with mortality and/or COVID-19 disease severity/complications. Each site will provide data from their health system EHR on a regular basis that includes all patients identified as having COVID-19 at some point in the interval from February 1, 2020, through January 31, 2022.
A Phase 1, Partially Blind, Placebo Controlled, Randomized, Combined Single Ascending Dose with a Food Effect Cohort (Part 1) and Multiple Ascending Dose Study (Part 2) Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of TBAJ-876 in Healthy Adult Subjects
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of inspiratory muscle training program in inspiratory muscle endurance, breathlessness, inspiratory muscle strength, functional capacity and quality of life in patients with interstitial lung disease. Patients are evaluated before the inspiratory muscle training and after 8 weeks of training.
This project consists of a psychological intervention in patients and their families with different chronic diseases in order to carry out a comparative study between medical pathologies to know which are the protective or risk variables for the adaptation to the disease.
This is a two-arm, open-label, randomized, phase 2, controlled center study to assess the safety and efficacy of Viusid and Asbrip in patients with mild to moderate symptoms of respiratory disease caused by 2019 coronavirus infection. Patients will be randomized to receive daily doses of 30 ml of Viusid and 10 ml of Asbrip every 8 hours or standard care. Viusid and Asbrip will be administered orally. A total of 60 subjects will be randomized 2: 1 in this study. 40 patients will be assigned to Viusid plus Asbrip plus standard of care and 20 control patients with standard of care. Treatment duration: 21 days.
The patients enrolled in this study will be all patients entering triage with suspicion of SARS-CoV2. Planned activities are required by the nasopharyngeal swab in parallel with the analysis of the conjunctival swab to identify new potential alternative and equally effective diagnostic pathways. Simultaneously systemic data (as Pulmonary images, hematological parameters etc.) will be collected to observe a possible correlation between conjunctival swab positivity and systemic impairment.
