Precision Diagnosis and Care for Families With Pulmonary Fibrosis in Ireland
This study aims to improve the understanding of how genes and the environment can influence and cause pulmonary fibrosis. By identifying the presence of genes and other factors that can put people at risk of developing pulmonary fibrosis, the influence these factors have on the progression of the disease can …
Health Impact of Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria Pulmonary Disease (NTM-PD)
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are environmental organisms found in soil and water. The majority do not cause human disease. When they do, this is mostly as a chronic lung infection in people with long-term lung problems such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchiectasis, or cystic fibrosis. The number of people …
Bronchoscopic EmphysemA Treatment in THE NetherLands
Rationale: New bronchoscopic treatments for emphysema have shown promise in clinical trials, improving lung function, exercise capacity and possibly survival and are now being adopted by a number of centres in the Netherlands. It is important to ensure that the benefits seen in clinical trials are in fact reflected in …
Heterogeneity of Lung Ventilation Determined by EIT During PFT in Patients With PRISM
To evaluate the demographic characteristics of PRISm population in patients with pulmonary function tests recommended by outpatient physicians. To investigate whether EIT can identify spatial and temporal heterogeneity of lung ventilation in individuals with PRISm during pulmonary function testing. To investigate the distribution patterns of lung ventilation in individuals with …
Impact of COVID-19 on Lung Function in COPD Patients.
Background: In 2019, a novel coronavirus (SARS-COV2) was detected in Wuhan, China as a cause of acute respiratory distress syndrome (COVID-19). Other previous coronaviruses (SARS and MERS) have caused respiratory sequelae (pulmonary fibrosis) demonstrable by tomography and lung function tests. These alterations have begun to be detected in patients who …
The Effect of Treatment of Emphysema With Endobronchial Valves on the Diaphragm Mobility
In some patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) the breathlessness is caused by hyperinflation of the lungs. This causes difficulty breathing air out and makes it harder to breath in new air and limits the movement of the diaphram. The diaphragm is the muscle used for breathing between the …
Activity, Balance and COPD (ABCOPD)
This research project incorporates a series of studies to investigate the relationship between physical performance (e.g. tests of strength, balance and walking distance) and physical activity (activity measured in day to day life) in people with COPD and other chronic lung diseases.
Sonographic Diaphragm Function in AECOPD
The study will be conducted as a single-center, prospective cohort study. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the responsiveness of sonographic parameters of diaphragm to detect change in Borg score for dyspnea during hospitalisation for AECOPD without respiratory acidosis.
Impact of Fixed TRIple Therapy With Beclometasone/Formoterol/Glycopyrronium DPI (Trimbow® in NEXThaler Device) in Chronic Obstructive PulmoNary Disease in rEal-world Settings: Health-related Quality of Life Patient' eXpectations and characterisTics: the TriNEXT Study
This is an observational, prospective, multicentric, cohort study conducted in France to evaluate the QoL in COPD patients treated with TRIMBOW NEXThaler 88/5/9 in a routine clinical practice setting. Patients enrolled in this study will be patients diagnosed with a COPD with a ratio of post-bronchodilator (salbutamol 400 μg) forced …
Investigation of the Respiratory Profile of Patients With Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (ASTHMA, COPD)
The primary aim of the OPTIPULM study is the evaluation of recorded pulmonary function curves and, based on them, the computer modelling of lung deposition for the individually used or potentially applicable inhalation drugs. The secondary aims include assessing the patients' inhalation device usage and providing recommendations for its optimization …
