Filter by:The overall aim of the study is to determine the efficacy of oral ifetroban, a novel antagonist of T prostanoid (TP) receptors, as a treatment for patients with aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD).
This study verifies efficacy of collaborative care with Smart Health Management Program developed for patients with chronic illness. The aim of the study is to observe the changes in clinical indicators, quality of life and health related behaviors when providing self-management programs with ICT for chronic disease patients.
The TRACK ("Test for Respiratory and Asthma Control in Kids") questionnaire is a validated instrument to evaluate the control of respiratory symptoms in young children. The TRACK questionnaire was developed in English and a version in Portuguese is not available or validated, purpose of the present project.
The purpose of this study is to test if the vaccine is working well in COPD patients aged 40 to 80 years old to reduce episodes of worsening symptoms ("exacerbations") and to gather further information on safety and immune response. In the current study, COPD patients with a history of acute exacerbations will receive 2 doses of the investigational vaccine or placebo intramuscularly according to a 0, 2 month vaccination schedule, in addition to standard care. The effect of vaccination against two pathogens known to cause exacerbations (Non-typeable Haemophilus influenza [NTHi] and Moraxella catarrhalis [Mcat]) will be evaluated at pre-defined timepoints (scheduled study visits). In addition to the scheduled study visits, additional study visit(s) and/ or phone contact(s) will take place for each acute exacerbation of COPD occurring from first vaccination up to study conclusion.
A multicentric study to explore variability when clinicians are intrepreting lung function tests. Comparison with results of in-house built software for automatic interpretation.
To evaluate the compatibility and correlation between noninvasive surface respiratory electromyography and invasive transesophageal diaphragmatic electromyography measurements, as facilitating indicators of neural respiratory drive evaluation during treadmill exercise. Transesophageal diaphragmatic EMG (EMGdi,es) and surface inspiratory EMG, including surface diaphragmatic EMG (EMGdi,sur), surface parasternal intercostal muscle EMG (EMGpara) and surface sternocleidomastoid EMG (EMGsc) were detected simultaneously during increasing capacity exercise in stable patients with COPD. EMGdi,es, EMGdi,sur, EMGpara and EMGsc was quantified using root mean square (RMS), which represent as RMSdi,es, RMSdi,sur, RMSpara and RMSsc.
Background. Mexico is lacking guidelines that provide an integral approach for the prevention and control of respiratory diseases in adults. The World Health Organization (WHO) proposed a "Practical Approach to Lung Health" (PAL) using generic guidelines to be used in primary health care settings for diagnosis and treatment of respiratory diseases. These guidelines were adapted to the Mexican context as AIRE campaign by the Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Respiratorias, Mexico. Objective. To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of implementing a model of care for respiratory diseases in adults based on AIRE guidelines,. Materials and methods. Prospective quasi-experimental pre-post study. During 03-08/2013 (phase 1), investigators recruited consenting subjects older than 15 years of age seeking medical care in primary care centers in Orizaba, Veracruz. Researchers investigated sociodemographic, epidemiological and clinical information before consultation. On patients who had been diagnosed with respiratory disease by a physician, researchers investigated prescribed treatment on leaving the physician´s office. A month later conducted a home visit to investigate clinical outcome. During 09/2014 we trained doctors from the participating health centers in "AIRE" guidelines. From 10/2014 to 03/2015 (phase 2) researchers again surveyed all consenting subjects older than 15 years of age who received health services in the same health centers following the same procedures as in phase 1.
This is a pilot study that provides the investigators with an opportunity to assess the application of PSM technology for patient monitoring in the NICU. This is a prospective, observational, cohort study.The investigators expect the duration of infant participation in this study to be 6 hours per single recording session with no follow-up required.
The purpose of this long-term follow-up of a Phase I study is to evaluate the kinetics of the antibody response to NTHi-Mcat antigens and long-term safety, in subjects aged between 50-71 years at the time of enrolment in the NTHi-Mcat-001 study. These subjects were previously exposed to two adjuvanted formulations of the NTHi-Mcat vaccine administered according to a 0, 2 months schedule in the NTHi-Mcat-001 (201281) study. The subjects that had received saline placebo controls will also be included in this follow-up study to make comparisons with the investigational vaccines. No vaccinations will be administered in this trial.
Long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) is the reference treatment for chronic respiratory failure. This treatment is based on the principle of oxygen supplementation via a source to correct hypoxemia in patients. At present, adherence to this treatment is difficult to evaluate (reporting by patients), but the results of the literature show poor LTOT compliance. It is therefore important to accurately measure the oxygen consumption by patients and to understand the factors explaining LTOT compliance. The ultimate aim is to improve our patient management to make them more observant in order to improve the therapeutic efficacy of the treatment.
