Cell Therapy Associated With Endobronchial Valve
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the most common diseases worldwide and is considered a public health problem. The World Health Organization estimates that about 210 million people have COPD. Disease-related mortality is more than 3 million, representing 5% of all deaths, 90% of this mortality being concentrated …
A Decision Aid on End-of-life Care for Patients With Advanced COPD and Their Family
This study aims to support EOL decision-making in patients with advanced COPD and their family members. A parallel two-arm single-blinded randomised controlled trial will be conducted to evaluate the effects of a specific decision support intervention. A total of 226 patients with advanced COPD and their designated family members will …
Exploring the Utility of Hyperpolarized 129Xe MRI in Healthy Volunteers and Patients With Lung Disease
This is a single centre exploratory study that aims to apply hyperpolarized xenon-129 (129Xe) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods and measurements in individual patients with and without lung disease to better understand lung structure and function and evaluate response to therapy delivered as a part of clinical care.
Prevalence of Humoral Dysfunction in Pts With Frequent Exacerbations of COPD, and the Effect of SCIgR for Prevention
To examine the prevalence of humoral immunodeficiency in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease (COPD) by evaluating both immunoglobulin levels and vaccine responses. Patients with COPD and humoral dysfunction will be offered treatment with Subcutaneous Immune Globulin Replacement Therapy (SCIgR) in an attempt to decrease future AECOPD.
The Effect of Airway and Chest Wall Oscillation on Respiratory Functions in COPD Patients in Acute Exacerbation
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); It is a common, treatable and preventable disease characterized by progressive and irreversible airflow limitation and has systemic effects with respiratory system involvement. Increased respiratory workload, decreased work .
Comparing the Effects of Manual Hyperinflation and Diaphragmatic Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation on Pulmonary Functions in Patients on Mechanical Ventilation
the goal of this clinical trial is to compare between to important physiotherapy modalities applied on mechanically ventilated COPD patients the the main question the study aim to answer is which one of the two modalities has the better effect on mechanically ventilated patients with COPD patients will get manual …
Use of MULTIplex PCR, Procalcitonin, and Sputum Appearance to Reduce Duration of Antibiotic Therapy During Severe COPD EXAcerbation: A Controlled, Randomized, Open-label, Parallel-Group, Multicenter Trial
COPD is a common chronic disease. Its natural course is characterized by Acute exacerbations (AE). This may require hospitalization or even ICU/RESUSCITATION admission. The most common causes are respiratory distress with hypercapnic acidosis that requires mechanical ventilation (Invasive or non-invasive). Lower respiratory tract infections, bacteria and/or viruses are the main …
High Flow Nasal Oxygen for Exacerbation COPD
In this pilot study the feasibility of performing a larger trial to study the non-inferiority of High Flow Nasal Oxygen compared to non-invasive ventilation in patients with acute acidotic hypercapnic exacerbation of COPD wil be investigated
Randomized Trial of Cold EMR Compared to Hybrid Cold EMR.
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to learn if a combination of hot and cold EMR technique is associated with a lower risk of polyp recurrence without increasing the risk of complication when removing large polyps. Participants will undergo EMR and return for a follow-up endoscopy in 3-6 …
Impact of A. Lumbricoides on Pulmonary Aspergillosis Development
The prevalence of ascariasis in COPD patients with and without concomitant pulmonary aspergillosis and in controls will be determined. To assess the influence of ascaridosis on the development of pulmonary aspergillosis in COPD patients cytokine status of patients will be studied.
