Filter by:This is a prospective multi-centers cohort study for registration adult patients with severe asthma and were reimbursed biologics treatment in Taiwan. The goal of this observational study is to discover the real-world effectiveness, the impact of initiating, switching of biologics, and the possible prediction factors for selecting the best treatment option for patients. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: 1. Determine risk factors associated with poor asthma control. 2. Support the development of effectiveness and safety of therapeutic principles 3. To discover the real-world effectiveness of different biologics ( Clinical remission) 4. To discover the impact of initiating biologics for severe asthma patients. 5. To evaluate the prevalence of biologics switching and its benefits for patients. 6. To compare the achievement rate of clinical remission among different biologics. Participants who are treated either with omalizumab, mepolizumab, benralizumab dupilzumab or Tezepelumab after January 1, 2020 will be included in the study.
The effects of different degrees of head-of-bed elevation on respiratory mechanics are poorly explored in the literature, and no study has investigated such effects using electrical impedance tomography, esophageal and gastric balloons to identify the ideal angle for optimizing respiratory mechanics. The hypothesis is that there is a optimal degree for the respiratory mechanics.
To evaluate the effect of 80% inspiratory oxygen fraction (FiO2) and 30% FiO2 on the incidence of pulmonary complications after pulmonary reexpansion following one-lung ventilation and 2-hour postoperative within the first 7 days after thoracic surgery, based on lung protective ventilation strategy.
Vapendavir (VPV) is a drug being developed to treat human rhinovirus (RV) infection, one virus responsible for the common cold. Vapendavir prevents the virus from entering cells and making more infectious copies of itself. A study is being planned to investigate VPV in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, a lung disease making it difficult to breathe) who develop a rhinoviral infection; however, VPV has not been approved for use in treating any indication (disease) by the FDA or any other global regulatory agency. Therefore, VPV is considered investigational, and the study doctor is conducting this investigational research study. Safety will be monitored throughout the entire study.
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.
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.
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.
The goal of this project is to establish a registry and biorepository of images and biological samples from subjects undergoing novel pulmonary imaging methods to be used for future research aimed toward identifying clinical applications of imaging methods and toward understanding the physiological significance of imaging biomarkers. This registry and biorepository will accelerate the development of these imaging techniques and may lead toward future clinical adoption of quantitative pulmonary imaging.
A retrospective study to evaluate the predictability of abnormal arterial blood gas measurements through novel observations of continuous trends in electronically measured respiratory in a mixed cohort of respiratory compromised patients.
