This study compares a handheld ultrasonic spirometer with a standard hospital spirometer in adults with chronic respiratory diseases. Each participant will complete lung function tests using both devices. The study aims to determine whether the ultrasonic device provides accurate and reliable measurements for use in clinical or home settings.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if cordyceps sinesis capsule (Bailiing Capsule) works to prevent the recurrence of microbiologically cured mycobacterium avium complex pulmonary disease in adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does cordyceps sinesis capsule (Bailiing Capsule) prevents the recurrence of mycobacterium avium …
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) stands as one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. Acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD) lead to rapid respiratory function decline and worsened disease status. Despite recent studies, the ability of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) to predict outcomes in patients with COPD remains controversial. It …
This study plans to learn more about heart function among individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In particular, the investigators want to understand the different patterns of right ventricular response during rest and moderate- vs high-intensity exercise. By identifying patterns of right ventricular dysfunction, this study will help identify …
This study aims to examine the exposure to atmospheric pollutants in a group of non-smoking patients suffering from lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and leukemia. The exposure to atmospheric pollutants will be assessed simultaneously in a group of healthy volunteers. The ultimate goal of the study is to …
This is a prospective observational study that evaluates whether the Shuttle Walking Test (SWT) can predict postoperative symptoms, particularly dyspnea, in patients with chronic respiratory diseases undergoing lung resection. Currently, tools such as DLCO or cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) are used to assess surgical risk and exercise capacity before lung …
Beyond pulmonary complications, COPD presents with extrapulmonary manifestations including reduced cognitive, cardiovascular, and muscle function. While exercise training is the cornerstone in the non-pharmacological treatment of COPD, there is a need for new exercise training methods. The COPD-HIIT trial intend to investigate the effects and mechanisms of 12 weeks supramaximal …
The goal of this observational study is to the purpose is to apply of ESPEN/EASO criteria for the diagnosis of sarcopenic obesity and calculation of OS prevalence in a sample of COPD patients. In addition, this study want to evaluate the impact of sarcopenic obesity on the respiratory function of …
The goal of this prospective observational study is to investigate to what extent acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AE-COPD) triggers Takotsubo-stunning, and how this affects the outcome for these patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: What is cumulative incidence of Takotsubo-stunning in patients hospitalized for …
Understanding health information can be difficult. This means some people struggle to know how to manage their health. Also, people may not know what health services to use or when to use them. This can lead to poorer health. It is therefore important health workers can communicate information clearly. This …
