Cardiovascular Risk and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
The principal objective of the study is to measure parameters of inflammation, oxidative stress, and vascular, respiratory, and peripheral muscle function parameters, and identify parameters indicative of evolving cardiovascular risk (CVR) in COPD patients, using multivariate analysis.
Impact of Early Lung Physiology, Viral Infections and the Microbiota on the Development and Progression of Lung Disease in Children With Cystic Fibrosis
This study collects data on microbiological factors and lung function parameters (e.g. spirometry, body plethysmography, lung-MRI) to assess their interaction on the lung growth and lung development of infants and children with Cystic Fibrosis (CF).
Connective Tissue Diseases and Lung Manifestations
Despite a number of prospective studies already initiated in the past years, the current epidemiology and course of interstitial lung disease (ILD) and pulmonary hypertension (PH) in patients with connective tissue disease (CTD) is still not well defined, particularly regarding its prevalence, incidence and the management of a broad spectrum …
Effect of Simeox® on Residual Volume in COPD Patients With Pulmonary Hyperinflation
Brief Summary People with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) often have too much air trapped in their lungs (pulmonary hyperinflation). This makes it hard to breathe and reduces quality of life. This study tests whether a single session with a medical device called Simeox® can reduce the amount of …
Prospective Validation of the Novel PVD-B65 Risk Score in Patients With Chronic Lung Disease and Pulmonary Hypertension
Prospective observational study to determine if the PVD-B65 risk score for one-year mortality in patients with chronic lung disease and pulmonary hypertension (CLD-PH) can accurately risk stratify these patients and successfully predict one-year mortality from time of pulmonary hypertension diagnosis. PVD-B65 risk score was developed in a retrospective cohort of …
Incident Chronic Obstructive pulmoNary dIsease Cohort Study (ICONIC)
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 …
Expression of SLC25A48 in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
This study aims to investigate the expression level of SLC25A48, a mitochondrial choline transporter, in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and to analyze its correlation with inflammatory markers and choline metabolic byproducts.
Photon-counting CT Scan vs Standard HRCT Scan in the Identification of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
The CT-IPF ANTHEM study is designed to prospectively compare PCDCT to HRCT scan in the identification of specific ILD diagnosis discussed during the multidisciplinary discussion to increase diagnostic confidence and reduce unclassifiable ILD cases.
Oral Sildenafil for Exercise Capacity, Dyspnea and Cardiopulmonary Function in COPD
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a condition characterized by airway obstruction. Patients with COPD experience significant shortness of breath on exertion. The mechanisms responsible for shortness of breath on exertion are well understood in moderate and severe COPD, but, are poorly understood in mild COPD where symptoms appear disproportionate …
Hyper Polarized Xenon-129 MRI vs Xenon-133 Scintigraphy
Hyper polarized Xenon-129 MRI will be directly compared to a radioactive Xe-133 scintigraphy to detect defects in lung ventilation from airflow limitation. This study is conducted as a pilot study with intention to conduct a larger clinical trial.
