DUET Versus Standard Interface for Hypercapnic COPD Patients
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the new asymmetric nasal high flow interface with the conventional high flow nasal cannula in patients with COPD exacerbation. The main questions the study aims to answer are: • Does the use of the asymmetric interface lead to: A greater decrease …
The Effects of Positive Airway Pressure on the Mucolytic Effects of NAC (TEAM)
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if positive pressure during inspiration will improve penetration of aerosolized N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) into airway mucus plugs in the lungs of patients with asthma or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The main questions it aims to answer are: Does delivery of aerosolized …
Evaluation of 3D Magnetic Resonance Spirometry: Comparison with Spirometry in Healthy Subjects and Patients with Respiratory Pathologies (asthma, COPD, Bilateral Lung Transplant)
Spirometry is now the gold standard technique for assessing lung function in humans. From the shape of a flow-volume curve measured while the patient, trained by the practitioner, performs forced breaths, the forced vital capacity (FVC) and the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) can be deduced and the …
The Effect of Motivational Interviewing-Based Education on Treatment Adherence and Self-Care Agency in COPD Patients
This randomized controlled trial will be conducted to evaluate the effect of education and motivational interviewing on treatment adherence and self-care power in COPD patients. Hypotheses of the Study; H1: Education and motivational interviewing in COPD patients increase treatment adherence in patients. H2: Education and motivational interviewing in COPD patients …
APP-based Medical Device for Education and Training of Inhalation Technique
Primary aim: To investigate if app-based education and training of inhalation technique improves the rate of successful inhalation techniques compared with control group at 6-12 weeks follow-up visit. Secondary aims: To evaluate the feasibility, usability, and safety of the investigational during the study period. Study design: Two-armed, parallel-designed, individual single-blinded …
Early Diagnosis and Treatment of Undiagnosed Asthma or COPD: THE UCAP 2 TRIAL
Our research group has found that Canadians with undiagnosed asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have increased respiratory symptoms and worse health-related quality of life. The investigators recently developed and validated an on-line questionnaire to accurately identify these symptomatic, undiagnosed individuals. The investigators will advertise in the community asking …
Quantitative Chest CT and Multi-Omics to Distinguish Asthma From COPD and Predict Treatment Response
This study aims to improve the diagnosis and treatment prediction of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by combining quantitative chest computed tomography (CT) imaging with multi-omics data. Adults with asthma or COPD will be enrolled and undergo routine clinical evaluations, pulmonary function tests, blood tests, and chest CT …
Fitness and Lung Function Among Survivors of Heart Transplant, Leukemia and Infant BPD Through Exercise
This study aims to more accurately assess cardiac function, ventilation and exercise capacity in a non-invasive fashion, and to better characterize exercise intolerance in the setting of three populations of individuals with chronic diseases of childhood (acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), chronic lung disease (CLD) of prematurity, and post-heart transplant (HT))
Identification and Validation of Blood-Based Biomarkers for Early Detection of Asymptomatic Lung Cancer in High-Risk Heavy Smokers
The goal of this observational study is to develop and evaluate a blood test for asymptomatic heavy smokers to screen for those at highest risk of developing lung cancer. The aim of this study is to develop, train, and validate a blood-based screening test designed to detect biomarkers associated with …
68Ga-FAPI-RGD PET/CT Imaging in the Lung Cancer Patients
Based on the high expression of specific receptors on the surface of diseased tissues and neovascularization, noninvasive targeted molecular imaging can be used to visualize lesions in vitro by combining specific ligands labeled with short half-life isotopes. Lung cancer tissues express fibroblast activating protein FAP, and also have high expression …
