Trial to Determine Effective Aspirin Dose in COPD
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States. Current treatments for COPD focus on inhaler therapies that do not address manifestations of the disease on other organ systems. Platelets, which are small blood cells that typically help with clotting, are also involved …
OMEGA - Dietary Intervention - COPD Trial
A randomized controlled trial of a food delivery dietary intervention targeting increased omega-3 intake to determine whether dietary modifications can improve Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) outcomes and attenuate the adverse effects of particulate matter on respiratory health. Investigators believe that study results will comprehensively address the impact of an …
Reducing the Number of Hospital Admissions With Multiple Nursing Interventions in COPD Patients Using Oxygen Concentrators at Home
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive lung disease characterized by persistent airflow obstruction and chronic respiratory symptoms or alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency in response to inhaled cigarette smoke or other irritants. The excessive morbidity and mortality associated with COPD acute exacerbations represent a significant public health problem that places a …
PEP Buddy Impact on Breathing, Exercise, and Sleep Quality in COPD Patients
Exercise intolerance and sleeping problems are among the most common symptoms experienced by patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which is associated with lung dynamic hyperinflation (DH). There was evidence that positive expiratory pressure (PEP), which less costly devices could offer, could reduce DH. A positive expiratory pressure device …
Cold Stored Whole Blood in Cardiothoracic Surgery
In vitro platelet function and post-transfusion platelet recovery of platelets stored in whole blood decline during storage. In this pilot randomized clinical trial we aim to investigate the impact of storage time of whole blood on the effect and safety in treatment of immediate blood loss in patients undergoing complex …
Omega-3 Fatty Acids as Regulators of Brown Adipose Tissue During Cold Exposure
This clinical trial will assess the whether fish oil supplementation can modulate brown fat activation, shivering, thermal comfort and skin blood flow during cold exposure.
Safety and Efficacy of Cold Laser Plaque Ablation for Lower Limb Arterial Stenosis and Occlusive Lesions
This study is a prospective, multi-center, randomized controlled study, which evaluates the effectiveness and safety of cold laser plaque ablation for lower limb arterial stenosis and occlusive lesions from intermittent claudication to chronic threatening limb ischemia.
The Effect of Oral Cold Water Spray Application on Thirst Severity in Patients Undergoing Spinal Surgery
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of oral cold water spray application on thirst severity and patient satisfaction after spinal surgery. H1: Oral cold water spray application has an effect on thirst severity after spinal surgery. H2: Oral cold water spray application has an effect on …
Effect of a 16-day Hot and Cold Acclimation on Adaptive Responses and Health-related Indicators
There are no previous studies of the effects of a combination of whole-body immersions in hot and cold baths on adaptive responses and health-related markers. Thus, the primary aim of this project is to determine whether interventions consisting of whole body immersion in hot and cold baths over 16 days …
Cold Snare Polypectomy Versus Hot Snare Polypectomy for Resection of Small Pedunculated Colorectal Polyps：a Randomized Controlled Trial
Endoscopic resection of pedicled polyps mainly focuses on how to prevent bleeding, and also needs to pay attention to the convenience of resection and the integrity of resection, which means that different endoscopic resection strategies should be adopted for pedicled polyps with different pedicle sizes. Small pedicled polyps with heads …
