The goal of this study is to examine exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) caused by a common cold virus called rhinovirus, to identify new treatments. Exacerbations are flare-ups of respiratory symptoms which are a major cause of ill health in people with COPD, and are most commonly caused …
Persons with COPD benefit from being physically active, but they are often limited by chronic musculoskeletal pain. This project will determine whether a non-pharmacologic, integrated, technology-mediated walking and Tai Chi mindfulness intervention can improve physical function in Veterans with COPD and chronic musculoskeletal pain. The proposed research addresses VA Rehabilitation …
To determine the effect of motivational interviewing based on Pender's health promotion model on patient-reported outcomes in patients with COPD.
Dyspnea, cough, and chronic mucus hypersecretion are common symptoms in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), which increases risk of infections followed by exacerbations, often leading to hospitalization, disease progression and mortality. This patient group requires lifelong treatment in healthcare. A mobile application was developed to facilitate adherence to …
A large amount of patients with COPD suffer from muscle dysfunction characterized by losses of muscle mass and strength. Studies have shown an association between a loss of quadriceps muscle mass and premature death. This study aims to investigate the clinimetric properties of a simple quadriceps perimetry and ShearWave elastography …
We aim to clarify the relationship between sleep hygiene and the onset of sarcopenia or cognitive dysfunction using sleep time, arousal, and sleep quality as indicators in COPD or IPF patients, and clarify the effects of sleep hygiene on disease progression and life prognosis.
This study is planned to be conducted based on the cohort of patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in our hospital. Based on gut microbiota, random forest was used to search for potential diagnostic biomarkers in patients with frequent acute exacerbation and controls with non frequent acute exacerbation; Construct …
The goal of this observational study is to determine the prevalence of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) among workers in an industrial zone in Thailand. The main question the study aims to answer is: What is the prevalence of asthma and COPD among workers in Thailand? Participants will …
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of inhaled corticosteroids combined with bronchodilators and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitor plus platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with advanced lung squamous cell carcinoma complicated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Long-term oxygen therapy is a fundamental treatment modality for patients with chronic hypoxaemic lung disease. Typically, oxygen is administered at a constant flow rate. However, due to fluctuating activity levels, patients' oxygenation status can vary, potentially leading to oxygen desaturation and increased dyspnoea. Emerging evidence suggests that automatic oxygen titration …
