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.
COPD-ICU Multicentre Prospective Observational Register
COPD is one of the leading causes of morbidity, mortality and health care utilisation worldwide. Currently, COPD is the third leading cause of death worldwide and is therefore a major public health problem. Projections show an increase in the prevalence and burden of COPD in the coming decades due to …
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
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 …
Randomized Controlled Study of Programmed Weaning From NIV for AECOPD
Purpose of research:to explore a reasonable programmed withdrawal process of noninvasive ventilation and thereby reduce the duration of noninvasive mechanical ventilation in patients with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
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 …
Cold Water and Decision-Making
The behavioral within-subject cross-over design study "CoVa" aims to investigate the effect of a short-term full-body cold-water immersion vs. warm-water immersion control on value-based choice, psychological well-being, and peripheral physiology.
Beetroot Juice NO Cold Study
Currently, there is a lack of evidence-based prevention strategies for respiratory infection and management of these conditions can be costly to the public. Airway nitric oxide provides a first line of defense against pathogens, and beetroot juice, a source of dietary nitrate, has been shown to elevate nitric oxide. The …
Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation in COPD/Community Acquired Pneumonia
In older adults hospitalized for acute medical conditions, immobility, clinical treatments, and the illness itself contribute to physical deconditioning and delirium, hospital-acquired impairments that increase risk for long-term physical and mental disability, other morbidities, and death. In patients with acute respiratory failure, hospital-acquired functional impairments persist long after hospitalization, due …
Cold Snare Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR) vs Cold EMR With Margin Snare Tip Soft Coagulation (STSC)
Randomised controlled trial comparing cold snare endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) with cold snare EMR and adjuvant margin STSC in the complete resection of 15-40mm lateral-spreading adenomas
