Filter by: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.
The study evaluates the effectiveness of Breathing Exercises as Therapeutic Play on respiratory Status among children with Lower respiratory Tract Disorders. patient were allocated into two groups- Experimental group and Comparison group. Experimental Group received Breathing Exercises as Therapeutic Play after administration of Nebulization therapy and comparison Group received no Breathing Exercises.
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.
The primary objective of the study is to determine the correlation between mean pleural pressure and oesophageal pressure in the immediate aftermath of bi-pulmonary transplantation. In this research, oesophageal pressure will be measured by a nasogastric tube with an esophageal balloon (also suitable for feeding the patient) usually installed at the time of transplantation, pleural pressure will be measured by several Pleurocath-type catheters (Prodimed Inc, France) which the thoracic surgeon will have positioned at the end of the surgery without additional skin intrusion.
Since the infectious aetiology of AECOPD has been suggested to vary according to geographical region, the primary purpose of this study (which will be conducted in several countries in Asia Pacific) is to evaluate the occurrence of bacterial and viral pathogens in the sputum of stable COPD patients and at the time of AECOPD. Given the increasing and projected burden of COPD in the Asia Pacific region, this study will also evaluate the frequency, severity and duration of AECOPD, as well as the impact of AECOPD on health-related quality of life (HRQOL), healthcare utilisation and lung function.
SHR-1210 is a humanized anti-PD1 IgG4 monoclonal antibody. This is a randomized,Phase III, multicenter ,open-label study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of SHR-1210 with carboplatin and pemetrexed versus carboplatin-pemetrexed in subjects who are chemotherapy naive and have Stage IIIB/IV non-squamous NSCLC. The primary hypothesis is that SHR-1210 combined with carboplatin and pemetrexed prolongs Progression Free Survival (PFS) in per RECIST 1.1 by blinded independent central review (ITT population and population was indicated by high PD-L1 expression) compared to carboplatin and pemetrexed treatment .
Evaluation of automatic titration of oxygen with a new version of FreeO2 (V4)
Many "Survivors" in the World Trade Center (WTC) clinical program have a clinical syndrome characterized by chronic obstruction in small airways and persistence of lower respiratory symptoms despite therapy. This study will test the hypothesis that persistent symptoms in WTC "Survivors" are associated with abnormal small airways whose dysfunction is amplified during exercise and is associated with biologic evidence of inflammation and remodeling. The results from this study will have important treatment implications for our WTC population with potential applicability to larger populations with either inhalational lung injury and/or airway diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
