Filter by: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.
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.
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
General description of the study This is a prospective, multicenter, expanded access interventional study of subjects recovered from COVID-19 pneumonia to assess their response to intravenous administration of adipose-derived autologous SVF. Primary objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety of single intravenous injections of autologous adipose-derived SVF produced using the GID SVF-2 device system for the treatment of secondary respiratory distress associated with COVID-19. Secondary objective To evaluate the efficacy of the initial treatment with SVF IV.
Comparison of the new multiple-breath washout method (ndd Medizintechnik Zürich, Trueflow™/Truecheck™) with established methods of lung function diagnostics in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma and cardiopulmonary healthy individuals.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic profiles of SC1011,in health conditions. The main questions it aims to answer are: Safety and tolerability profiles in healthy subjects.Pharmacokinetic profiles in healthy subjects.Food effect in healthy subjects.Participants will complete the study including screening period, dosing period, and observation period. Researchers will compare the inhibitory activity of SC1011 tablets with pirfenidone capsules against the same biomarkers(e.g. blood TNFα) to see if they are different between the two drugs.

The goal of this observational study is to investigate the role fibroblasts play in the persistent respiratory complaints after a COVID-19 infection. Fibroblasts are involved in tissue remodeling and repair by creating scar-tissue (fibrosis) after tissue damage has occurred. The hypothesis is that this process of fibrosis is ongoing in patients with persistent complaints. To evaluate the roll of fibroblasts a new type of scan is used that is capable of imaging active fibroblasts, a 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT scan.
Based on preclinical data, investigators hypothesize that apoptosis resistance in monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) have a decisive role in the development of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Specifically, macrophages from subjects with IPF have increased expression of Bcl-2 in mitochondria. In preclinical models of IPF, a conditional deletion of Bcl-2 in MDMs reverses established fibrosis by inducing apoptosis. Additional evidence to suggest that Bcl-2 expression in MDM mitochondria is a therapeutic target for IPF as administration of the Bcl-2 inhibitor, ABT-199 (Venetoclax), showed marked efficacy in preclinical models of IPF by inducing apoptosis of MDMs and reversing established fibrosis. ABT-199 is an orally available mimetic of the BH3 domain of Bcl-2, which is the domain the anchors Bcl-2 in the mitochondria to inhibit apoptosis. ABT-199 has shown therapeutic efficacy and good safety and tolerability in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Investigators anticipate that treatment with ABT-199 could result in significant benefit for IPF patients that have a life expectancy of 3-5 years. As there is no curative therapy for IPF, this clinical trial has the potential to substantially alter treatment approaches in patients with IPF.
This study has two objectives: 1. To assess the association between nintedanib adherence trajectory group (as measured from a Group-based Trajectory Modelling (GBTM)) and health care resource use, with a focus on inpatient hospitalization, among patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). 2. To assess the association between a patient's nintedanib adherence trajectory group (as measured from a GBTM) and their medical costs among patients with IPF.
