Ultrasound and Respiratory Physiological Signals in Lung Diseases
The use of lung ultrasound is instrumental in the evaluation of many chest pathologies and its ability to detect pleuro-pulmonary pathology is widely accepted. However, the use of ultrasound to explore the state of the peripheral lung parenchyma, when the organ is still aerated, is a relatively new application. Horizontal …
Randomized Controlled Study of Programmed Weaning From Noninvasive Mechanical Ventilation for Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
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.
Functional Improvement in OSA and COPD With a Telehealth LifeStyle and Exercise Intervention
The investigators will conduct a Type I hybrid effectiveness-implementation study to test an integrated telehealth intervention among 400 overweight and obese patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). The investigators will include eligible participants receiving primary care at one of five Department of Veterans Affairs …
Comparative Effects of Triple Inhaled Therapy With Budesonide/Glycopyrronium/Formoterol Versus Fluticasone Furoate/Umeclidinium/Vilanterol on Small Airway Disease in COPD Patients: A Randomized Crossover Study
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if triple inhaled therapy with Budesonide/Glycopyrronium/Formoterol (BGF) and Fluticasone Furoate/Umeclidinium/Vilanterol (FUV) are effective in treating patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It will also assess the safety of both drugs. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does …
Probiotic on Type 2 Diabetes and Chronic Obstruction Pulmonary Disease
This trial is a randomized, double-blind, parallel placebo clinical trial, the purpose of which is to investigate whether the adjuvant therapy of using probiotics during the treatment of diabetic patients can decrease blood sugar levels significantly in comparison with placebo, and observe if the reduced lung function could be recovered …
The Cardiovascular Consequences of Sleep Apnea Plus COPD (Overlap Syndrome)
Major progress has been made in the area of cardiovascular disease, but we believe that further progress will involve mechanistically addressing underlying respiratory causes including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The most common cause of death in COPD is cardiovascular, although mechanisms are unknown. OSA …
Routine vs On-demand ECMO for Lung Transplantation
Lung transplantation is a complex procedure performed in patients with terminal lung disease. The transplant procedure stresses the patient's heart and lungs, which are already taxed by the underlying disease process. The heart-lung machine is occasionally used to support the patient and ensure adequate oxygen supply to other organs during …
Breathe Easier With Tadalafil Therapy for Dyspnea in COPD-PH
The investigators will study whether the drug tadalafil improves shortness of breath in 126 Veterans with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and high blood pressure in the lungs. The investigators will also assess whether tadalafil improves quality of life, home daily physical activity, exercise endurance, the frequency of acute flares …
Improving Quality of Life and Daily Life Activities With Bioarginine in Patients With COPD
Different studies have suggested that COPD is associated with elevated alveolar NO and increased expression of NOS2 in alveolar walls, small airway epithelium and vascular smooth muscle. Furthermore, arginase activity in COPD is shown to correlate inversely with total NO metabolite in sputum and with pre- and post- bronchodilator FEV1; …
Pulmonary Hypertension SOLAR
The main goal of this study is to develop a noninvasive signature for pulmonary vascular remodeling in Group 3 PH patients, using hyperpolarized 129Xe magnetic resonance imaging (129Xe MRI). Such a signature may identify Group 3 PH responders to PAH-specific therapies. PAH's unique 129Xe MRI signature has been shown in …
