Effect of Elastic Chest Compression on Functional Exercise Capacity and Respiratory Performance in Patients With COPD
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effects of elastic chest compression on functional exercise capacity and respiratory performance of patients with COPD. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is there difference in functional exercise capacity and respiratory performance without or with the use of …
Kingston Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Multidimensional Long Term Follow up Cohort
Background: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary (COPD) patients are the paradigm of the chronic complex patient. Their follow up can sometimes be difficult and challenging (1). There are patients with recurrent exacerbations that put an enormous burden on health care resources (2). They also have multiple comorbidities (3) that can sometimes make …
How Nocturnal Hypoventilation Predicts Long-term Response to Non-invasive Ventilation in Hypercapnic COPD Patients
The study is an observational, single-center, prospective cohort study aiming to evaluate respiratory mechanics data, as well as clinical and functional parameters commonly used in clinical practice in patients with COPD and hypercapnic respiratory failure. The study population consists of patients with COPD and hypercapnia requiring NIV. The primary objective …
Tumors and Respiratory System Diseases Due to Air Pollution: New Biomarkers of Exposure and Effects
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 …
SWEEP: Shuttle Walking Test for Exercise Evaluation in Pulmonary Resection
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 …
Prevention of Recurrence With Cordyceps Sinensis in Mycobacterium Avium Complex Pulmonary Disease
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 …
Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio in Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
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 …
Right Ventricular Response to Exercise Among Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
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 …
Supramaximal High-Intensity Interval Training in People With and Without Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
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 …
Longitudinal Study of Helium-3 and Xenon-129 Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Subjects male and female aged 50-85 with a clinical diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or Bronchiectasis, or those with ≥ 10 pack/years smoking history will be imaged with CT and MRI for the development of tools to quantify and validate longitudinal in vivo magnetic resonance imaging phenotypes of …
