Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effects who would add mental practice based on action observation to a therapeutic exercise program in young mild smokers. The main question it aims to answer is whether the observation of actions prior to the implementation of a therapeutic exercise program improves the response to it on respiratory, strength and muscle function variables. Participants will be assigned to one of 2 study groups: G1) Therapeutic exercise plus action observation training (n=20) G2) Therapeutic exercise plus sham action observation training (n=20)

This study aims to test, by a 2-arm RCT, the effectiveness of an intervention that includes mobile phone-supported simple physical exercise for smoking cessation in workplaces in Hong Kong.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), , secondary to smoking, is a major public health issue with very high direct and indirect costs. The impact on the health system of undiagnosed patients, up to 70% of patients, is increasingly documented. However, systematic spirometry screening remains controversial among smokers in the absence of data to link the detection of new patients with improved management and clinical events and health goals. More generally, there is little data on the evolution of patients in real life once they have entered the care system. The premise is that with systematic screening in general medicine, it is possible to identify the evolution of newly diagnosed COPD patients, to distinguish the different possible evolutions according to the initial phenotype and the management.
Multiple breath washout (MBW) using Sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) has the potential to reveal ventilation heterogeneity in obstructive lung disease which is frequent in patients with small airway disease. However, it is missed by commonly used tests with reference data being scarce and mostly restricted to younger collectives. We aimed to evaluate the influence of anthropometric parameters on SF6-MBW reference values in pulmonary healthy adults.
Cigarette smoking is a habit that has spread all over the world and is a significant risk factor for many diseases including cardiovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD),asthma and lung cancer. Evaluation and understanding of tobacco health effects are of major interest worldwide and answer to important societal concerns. Identification of new biomarkers of exposure to tobacco smoke potentially implicated in COPD or lung carcinogenesis would allow a better observation of tobacco exposed population, thanks to screening establishment at reversible stages of pathological processes. In this study, we question whether cigarettes smoking alters miRNA profiles of extracellular vesicles (EVs) present in human broncho alveolar lavages (BALs), which could affect surrounding normal bronchial epithelial cells status.
This cross-sectional study will assess the prevalence of oral changes among smokers in an Egyptian cohort (patients attending to the hospital of Faculty of Dentistry - Cairo University), aiming that this study can serve as a baseline for future studies with the goal of finding ways to improve oral health and increase awareness of the hazards of smoking in Egypt

This study intends to evaluate the nasal mucociliary clearance (NMC) by determining the value obtained for saccharin transit time (STT) test over the course of 12 hours following a single cigarette use in adult smokers, to compare it relative to never smokers, and to examine the relationship between plasma nicotine levels and STT value in smokers and never smokers. Safety will also be monitored during the study. The planned maximum study duration for a single study participant from Screening through completion of study will be 33 days.
COPD is characterized by exagerated decline FEV1 related to obstructive non reversible airflow. This could be the consequence of structural changes and inflammatory pattern of the bronchial wall. Lesions could lead to normal but also abnormal remodeling specially in COPD including a decrease in Club cells number and function.There is no treatment actually available targeted to a normal repair of the epithelium. The objective of this work is to identify potential targets for reprograming bronchial epithelial cells I order to achieve a good repair.
