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 …
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 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 …
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 …
Under-diagnosis of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is prevalent, with an estimated 75% of adults suffering from COPD in the US, without clinical recognition. Often, the first diagnosis of COPD comes with a flare or exacerbation. In one study, 34% of patients were first diagnosed during hospitalization for an exacerbation, …
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.
A Clinical Study Based on Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Lungs to Assess the Efficacy of Thermal Vapor Ablation and Pulmonary Nodule Ablation in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease After Surgery. The efficacy of hot steam ablation for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was evaluated using the innovative MRI sequence PREFUL\_MRI, and …
This prospective observational cohort study aims to prospectively evaluate and validate the Clinical Load, Exchange, Ability of Respiration, and Reserve (CLEAR) model for predicting sustained ventilatory liberation in patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) receiving invasive mechanical ventilation (MV) or non-invasive ventilation (NIV). Two parallel cohorts will be …
The primary objectives are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of infusion of fully characterized clonally derived fetal mesenchymal stem cells (cfMSCs) for the control of severe symptoms associated with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
COPD is one of the most life-threatening pulmonary diseases. According to the World Health Organization, it is expected to rise to the third leading cause of death by 2030. Smoking is the most significant contributing factor. COPD reduces lung volumes and causes dyspnea. Over time, respiratory muscle weakness develops, leading …
