Filter by:A growing number of children with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) or nocturnal alveolar hypoventilation syndrome are treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or nocturnal non-invasive ventilation (NIV) therapy. The compliance of the child and his caregivers with CPAP / NIV therapy may be challenging. The use of an educational game (Yapouni) aims at improving communication around CPAP / NIV between the child and his caregivers, and may facilitate the compliance with CPAP / NIV at home, by increasing the motivation for using CPAP / NIV at home. The aim of the study is to assess the parents' feelings regarding the use of CPAP / NIV on day 0 (D0) and one month (D30) later in a standard group: therapeutic education (TEP) versus a group: TEP + Yapouni.
Investigate the effects of Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) performed during hemodialysis (HD) procedures in patients with end stage kidney disease (ESKD). With intervention of thirty-six IMT sessions, performed three times a week, at an intensity of 50%, 30% and 10% (sham) of the maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP).
In this study, it is aimed to investigate the effect of inspiratory muscle warm-up (IMW) performed before inspiratory muscle training (IMT) in addition to general exercise training on respiratory functions, respiratory muscle strength, exercise capacity, perceived dyspnea intensity and health-related quality of life in patients with COPD.
The huge impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on global healthcare systems has prompted search for novel tools to stem the tide. New digital health tools can provide possible health solutions in this time of unprecedented medical crisis to mitigate the impact of this pandemic. This proof of concept study will determine the feasibility and effectiveness of implementing a mobile application for contactless measurement of vital signs (MAC-VITAL) such as blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR) and oxyhemoglobin saturation (SpO2) from surgical patients peri-operatively. Contactless measurement of vital signs will bridge the current gap between virtual care and in-person medical assessments. This study aims to determine whether a mobile app can effectively measure vital signs without any person to person contact and how this technology can be implemented in a peri-operative setting during COVID-19.
This is a randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blinded, multi-centre, 2-part study to assess the efficacy and safety of inhaled AZD1402. Part 1 will be performed in a Lead-in Cohort for each dose level to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) in a population with asthma controlled on medium dose inhaled corticosteroids (ICS)-long acting beta agonists (LABA) before progressing to dosing in adults with asthma who are uncontrolled on medium-to-high dose ICS-LABA in Part 2. The study will recruit participants receiving treatment with medium dose ICS with LABA for Part 1 and participants receiving treatment with medium-to-high dose ICS with LABA for Part 2 (separate inhalers or combination product). Part 2 will be initiated following evaluation of safety and PK at the relevant dose level in Part 1a. The entire study period for each participant in both Parts 1 and 2, is approximately 3.5 months; a 2-week Screening Period, a 4 week Run-in Period, 4 weeks of Treatment Period, and 4 weeks of Follow-Up Period.
Heart Failure is a disease involving many different aspects of the human body, including changes in metabolism, the way the body produces and uses energy. Research shows that patients with heart failure often have a sleep disorder called sleep disordered breathing (SDB). It has been shown that SDB is associated with poor outcomes in heart failure patients, but the exact reason is unknown. It is likely that SDB leads to changes in metabolism and hormone status in the body, which is especially dangerous for heart failure patients. There is currently no treatment for SDB in heart failure patients. Recently, with Sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2)-Inhibitors a new drug class has been approved for the treatment of advanced heart failure. This drug has effects on the metabolism in heart failure patients, among several other effects. This research project has the aim to investigate if SGLT2 inhibitors can help in the treatment of SDB, as many mechanisms of the drug overlap with the mechanisms how SDB develops. The drug has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of heart failure. The investigators want to study the effect of the drug on SDB by using a home sleep test called Watchpat, which has been approved to diagnose SDB.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the total lung deposition of radiolabelled S-770108 inhalation powder formulation after each of two separate single inhaled doses in healthy adult participants at two different target peak inspiratory flow rates (PIFRs)
To determine the effects of segmental breathing exercise and buteyko breathing exercises on chest expansion in individuals with asthma. To determine the effects of segmental breathing exercise and buteyko breathing exercises on pulmonary function (FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC) in individuals with asthma. To determine the effects of segmental breathing exercise and buteyko breathing exercises on Asthma Control Questionnaire in individuals with asthma.
Currently, there is no pharmacological intervention for mild symptomatic obstructive sleep disordered breathing (SDB) in the form of loud habitual snoring, inspiratory flow limitation (i.e. upper airway resistance syndrome), or mild sleep apnea. Here the investigators study the effect on SDB of stimulating pharyngeal muscles during sleep with AD036. The key hypothesis of the study is that AD036 is superior to placebo on self-reported and objective measures of SDB severity.
The purpose of this multi center, open label, randomized, study is to obtain information on the safety and efficacy of 150 ppm Nitric Oxide given in addition to the standard of care of patients with viral pneumonia
