Aim of this study is to evaluate image quality and reproducibility of Xenon-129 and Inert fluorinated (19F) gas Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and to evaluate changes in lung structure and function in participants with cystic fibrosis (CF) and asthma compared to healthy controls.
Background Some health conditions make breathing difficult and uncomfortable. When this happens every day, it is called chronic breathlessness. Over 3 million people living with heart and lung disease have chronic breathlessness in the UK. Breathlessness is very difficult for patients themselves and their families, resulting in disability and feelings …
Particulate matter (PM) associated cardiorespiratory and vascular dysfunction (CaRVD) poses a significant global health burden. The World Trade Center (WTC) destruction on September 11, 2001 led to an intense deposition of particulate matter (WTC-PM) into aerodigestive system. WTC associated morbidities include respiratory, gastrointestinal, chronic rhinosinusitis, cancer, mental health concerns and …
This is a single centre exploratory study that aims to apply hyperpolarized xenon-129 (129Xe) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods and measurements in individual patients with and without lung disease to better understand lung structure and function and evaluate response to therapy delivered as a part of clinical care.
The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between the microbial community, host immunity and the presence or absence of concurrent rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease patients with anti-MDA5 antibody positive dermatomyositis.
The purpose of this study is to look at how Alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency and Cystic Fibrosis (CF) affect white blood cells in the lungs, called macrophages, and their ability to work.
Antisynthetase syndrome (AS) is a rare overlapping myositis characterized by cellular and humoral autoimmune responses directed against aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. Intesrtitial lung disease (ILD) is a leading cause of mortality in antisynthetase syndrome. Recently, antigen-specific IFN-γ+ CD4+ T cells have been identified in bronchoalveolar fluid (BAL) of patients with antisynthetase syndrome …
The goal of this observational study is to examine the effects of traditional respiratory rehabilitation and respiratory muscle strengthening training added to this program at the genetic level in in patients with rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does respiratory muscle strengthening exercise …
This trial is a prospective multi-center study. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of dietary supplement combined with supervised exercised on the physical performance, body composition and lung function among patients with Sarcopenia and severe Sarcopenia in chronic lung disease. After participants enroll in this study, …
This study aims to understand the role of oestrogen in patients with asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (COPD). Therefore, what is the effect of oestrogen in these participants compared to controls (those without disease). The study hypothesises that oestrogen loss in patients with asthma and COPD causes accelerated lung …
