Filter by:Fibrotic lung disease is a group of severe scarring lung diseases with a dismal prognosis, often leading to respiratory failure and need for oxygen treatment. The symptom burden is often extremely high with dyspnea at rest and increasing dyspnea with exertion. Patients will often need more oxygen during activity thus repeatedly adjustments of oxygen flow rates are required to target an acceptable saturation at rest and during activities. This is impractical and can lead to an undesirable focus on oxygen levels as well as reduced use of the oxygen treatment in everyday life. There is an urgent need for oxygen equipment that is easy to use to help patients live a life with fever symptom-related restrictions. Closed Loop Oxygen Titration (CLOT) is a new type of optimized oxygen treatment, which automatically adjusts the oxygen flow rate to the exact amount needed for the patient. The CLOT has already been tested and found useful in patients with other lung diseases, however it has not yet been tested in an isolated group of patients with fibrotic lung disease. The goal of this clinical trial is therefore to study if automatically adjusted oxygen delivery can be useful for patients with fibrotic lung disease who needs oxygen treatment during activity. The main questions aimed to be answered are: Will participants experience less breathlessness during walking, when the oxygen supply is individually adjusted to maintain an acceptable level of oxygen saturation? Our hypotheses are that automatically adjusted oxygen dose during walking will results in less breathlessness compared to the usual fixed dose of oxygen. Furthermore, that participants will walk longer and maintain a better oxygen saturation during a walking test when offered automatically adjusted oxygen dose. Participants will perform two walking tests with both automatically adjusted and fixed dose oxygen in random order, and the difference in sensation of breathlessness will be compared between the two tests.
The clinical trial aimes to evaluate multiple large language models in respiratory disease consultations by comparing their performance to that of human doctors across three major medical consultation scenarios. The main question aims to answer are: - How do large language models perform in comparison to human doctors in diagnosing and consulting on respiratory diseases across various clinical scenarios? In three clinical scenarios including the online query section, the disease diagnosis section and the medical explanation section, research assistants or volunteers will be asked to cross-question all LLMs or real doctors using predefined online questions and their own issues. After each questioning session, a short washout period is implemented to eliminate potential biases.
The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of early detection of acute exacerbations of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis by the remote monitoring of vital signs. The main question the study aims to answer is: Could a remote monitoring device allow for earlier detection of exacerbations with individualized monitoring and continuous data collection? All patients will receive conventional clinical follow-up based on their health status and clinical recommendations. At the same time, they will benefit from the Bora Care® medical remote monitoring device.
This study intends to use magnetic resonance pulmonary function imaging technology to explore imaging markers for early diagnosis of patients with CPFE. Through baseline, 6-month and 12-month follow-up examinations, the changes in magnetic resonance pulmonary function in patients with CPFE and their correlation with disease progression were explored.
Patients discharged after hospitalization for COVID-19 pneumonia were retrospectively selected by radiologically established criteria that at admission presented at chest computed tomography (CT) (i) normal lung parenchyma <50% of total lung volume; and/or (ii) area of lung consolidation > 10%. All At discharge and after 9 months, all subjects underwent cardiological evaluation, echocardiogram, pulmonary function tests (PFT) both atby 3 and by 12 months after discharge. Chest CT was performed by 12 months after discharge and chest CT. Specifically, the magnitude of pulmonary involvement between baseline and follow-up was considered the primary endpoint of this study. Secondary endpoints of the study were results of respiratory function testing, echocardiographic parametersparameters, and persistence of symptoms.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the impact that ENV-101 has on lung function and key measures of fibrosis in adult patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF). Another goal of this study is to better understand the safety and tolerability of ENV-101 in these patient populations.
This is an observational clinical research study investigating patients with fibrotic interstitial lung disease (fILD), also known as pulmonary fibrosis. It is not known why some patients with fILD clinically deteriorate. This study will investigate whether measuring oxygen levels during sleep or exercise can help identify patients who are at increased risk of clinical deterioration.
In this project the investigators aim to identify new biological markers by characterizing the response/inflammation associated with the development and progression of M. abscessus lung disease in patients suffering from cystic fibrosis with the aim of increasing current knowledge available on the development and progression of lung disease.
The main objective of the study is to assess the potential of time-frequency representation and analysis of pulmonary sounds collected with an electronic stethoscope, as part of the routine monitoring of patients with cystic fibrosis, COPD or pulmonary fibrosis.
Introduction and Objectives:IPF, characterized by shortness of breath and progressive deterioration in lung function.Baduanjin (BJ) is a mindbody health exercise that combines physical exercise with psychological properties to maximize both physical and mental health.The aim of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of these exercises in patients with IPF and to present an alternative in terms of the applicability of BJ exercises as a new treatment method Methods: 28 volunteers were invited to the study.These patients were randomly divided into 2 groups.The subjects in the exercise group were given 24 sessions of supervised online BJ exercise training, 3 days a week, for 8 weeks. The patients included in the control group did not receive any training during the 8 week period
