Improving Participation in Pulmonary Rehabilitation Through Peer Support and Storytelling
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) affects approximately 16 million Americans and is characterized by recurrent exacerbations that lead to 1.5 million Emergency Department visits and 700,000 hospitalizations annually. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a structured program of exercise and self-management support that has been proven to relieve shortness of breath and …
Chronic Airway Disease, Mucus Rheology and Exacerbations
The main objective of this trial is to compare the exacerbation number over 12 months of follow-up between a group of patients with COPD treated according to standardized management (azithromycin prescribed in the event of severe sputum according to the CASA-Q score , standardized comparator arm) and a similar group …
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 …
Mapping and Characterization of Alveolar Cells During Smoking and Chronic Obstructive Disease
To evaluate the regenerative capacities of mesenchymal cells composing the microenvironment of alveolar type 2 cells in a population of patients, undergoing thoracic surgery for suspected cancer, who are smokers with and without COPD compared to non-smokers patients
Eosinopenia in Severe COPD Exacerbation
The goals of this observational study are to identify factors independently associated with admission eosinopenia in patients with a severe exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and to determine when blood eosinophil count (BEC) will recover to baseline stable state in patients who are admitted to hospital with a …
CHARM-COPD Program of Care
The investigators' goal for this project is to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and actual usage of a program of care for patients with COPD recently discharged after an acute exacerbation. The program of care includes virtual pulmonary rehabilitation, integrated care, and remote clinical monitoring.
Study of Microbiological Diversity in Exhaled Air in COPD and Free of COPD
COPD and non-COPD patients will be included in the study after collection of their non-objection. The exhalation will be collected to study the microbiological diversity of human exhalations. a second collection for the year +1 will be made, at the same time (between October and March).
Tissue Regeneration in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease After an Exercise Intervention.
The main objective of this project is to identify mechanisms for lung regeneration in patients with COPD induced by exercise training. The hypothesis is that adjusted exercise training improves disease outcome in these patients by decrease remodelling processes linked to oxidative stress, inflammatory and/or immunological pathways in the lung. Along …
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.
Effects of Elastic Tape on Pulmonary Rehabilitation of Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Evaluate the effect of the use of elastic tape in chest wall and abdomen in the physical capacity, psychosocial distress levels, quality of life and anxiety, and depression symptoms of individuals with moderate to very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) undergoing pulmonary rehabilitation.
