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.
Lung Microbiome and Inflammation in Early COPD
This is a cross sectional case controlled study to assess lung microbiome and inflammation in smokers with and without Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Investigators will look at active bacterial metabolic pathways in the lower airways using metagenomic and metabolomic approaches an assess relationships among microbiome, metagenome, metabolome and host …
Effect of Helfer Skin Tap and Cold Application on Pain and Hemodynamics During Vaccination
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of local cold application using the Helfer Skin Tap Technique on pain levels during the intramuscular injection of the tetanus vaccine in pregnant women. The study will also record vital signs, which are among the physiological effects of pain.
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 …
An Investigation of Different Type Single Limb Exercise Training Effects in Copd
COPD presents not only respiratory symtoms but also vascular or muscle dysfunction. Exercise limitation is observed in COPD. Especially, decreased exercise performance related to vascular and fatique in quadriceps muscle. Exercise training is important for aerobic performance increasing. Generally results show exercise training with both lower limb. Increaed arterial stiffness …
A COMBINATION OF RECTAL INDOMETHACIN AND COLD WATER EXPOSURE OF THE AMPULLA AFTER ERCP IS SUPERIOR TO RECTAL INDOMETHACIN ALONE IN REDUCING THE INCIDENCE OF POST-ERCP PANCREATITIS -RCT
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) has emerged as the primary modality in the management of biliary and pancreatic disease. The complications occurring from ERCP can range from mild to fatal. Procedure related complications are Pancreatitis , Bleeding , Infections- Cholangitis, Cholecystitis , Perforations of which Post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) is the most …
Biological Investigation of Explanted Endobronchial Lung Valves Study
Rationale COPD is a severe, often progressive and currently incurable lung disease which affects both the upper airways (chronic bronchitis) as well as the lower airways (emphysema). In advanced stages of the disease air-trapping severely reduces the ability to breathe and subsequently the quality of life. A highly effective treatment …
Airway Bypass - Safety and Feasibility Study
The objective of this study is to evaluate its safety and feasibility of the Airway Bypass Stent System in patients with severe emphysema. The study will collect clinical data through 12 months to assess procedural and device safety.
Combined Zephyr Valve System With Inter-lobar Fissure Completion for Lung Volume Reduction in Emphysema
The purpose of this protocol is to perform a pilot prospective randomized controlled clinical trial to evaluate the potential role of lung fissure completion strategy (experimental intervention) in addition to endobronchial valve (EBV) placement (representing "standard-of-care") in select patients with severe COPD/emphysema and with evidence for \<95% fissure completion between …
Post-Market BTVA Registry
Bronchoscopic thermal vapor ablation using Uptake Medical Technology Inc.'s InterVapor System is indicated for treatment of patients with heterogeneous upper lobe emphysema. This study is a retrospective and prospective, observational, multi-center, post-market registry of patients prescribed InterVapor. The primary objective of the Registry is to describe the long-term impact of …
