The Effects of Nocturnal Non-invasive Ventilation in Stable COPD
Rationale Application of long-term non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure (CHRF) has recently been shown to improve outcomes. However, the mechanism behind these improvements are unknown. We hypothesize that NIV stabilizes FEV1 via beneficial effects on inflammation and repair pathways in …
Expand Pulmonary Rehabilitation to Other Chronic Respiratory Diseases Than COPD
The purpose of this pilot randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the willingness, acceptance, adherence and signs of benefits of structured home-based pulmonary rehabilitation (HPR) and supervised pulmonary tele-rehabilitation (PTR) on respiratory symptoms, quality of life, functioning and physical activity in patients with ILD (Interstitial lung disease, Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, …
Thread-Embedding Acupuncture for Functional and QoL Improvement in COPD Patients
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if thread-embedding acupuncture (TEA) can improve functional capacity and quality of life of chronic pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does TEA, when combined with standard treatment, improve functional capacity measured by the six-minute walking …
Cold Dissection Versus Electrocautery Dissection in Endoscopic Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy and Immediate Implant-Based Reconstruction: A Randomized Controlled Trial
The purpose of this study is to analyze whether cold dissection can decrease the rate of ischemia necrosis and other complications and then increase the aesthetic outcomes compared to electrocautery. The purpose of this study is to analyze whether cold dissection can decrease the rate of ischemia necrosis and other …
Role of Oral Care in Prevention of Nosocomial Pneumonia Among COPD Patients
Poor dental hygiene has been linked to respiratory pathogen colonization in ICU patients. Therefore, respiratory pathogens tend to colonize dental plaque and oral mucosa in these populations. Therefore, strategies to eliminate respiratory pathogens from the oral cavity may improve oral hygiene and decrease the development of nosocomial pneumonia.
Study Of Cold Cap Therapy For Prevention of Hairloss in Pediatric Patients Receiving Chemotherapy For Non-Malignant Indications and Solid Tumors
This study is being done to see if the Paxman scalp cooling device can prevent hair loss in pediatric patients receiving chemotherapy for non-cancerous conditions or solid tumors. Primary Objective To assess the safety and feasibility of the use of a scalp cooling device in pediatric and young adult patients …
Neurocognitive and Health Impact of Sleep Apnea in Elderly Veterans With Comorbid COPD
Cognitive dysfunction in the aging Veteran population is a growing health concern in the Veterans Health System. It is not known whether OSA coexisting with COPD will enhance the risk for cognitive dysfunction. The investigators sought to investigate whether these two highly prevalent diseases, that often co-exist as the 'Overlap …
Laser Acupuncture for Pulmonary Function Test and Quality of Life in COPD Patients
This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of laser acupuncture as an adjunct therapy in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The main research questions are: Does laser acupuncture, when combined with standard pharmacological treatment, improve lung function (measured by FEV1% and FEV1/FVC ratio) more than …
Cold Snare Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (C-EMR) Versus Hot Snare Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (H-EMR) for Large Colorectal Polyps (10-20 mm)
OBJECTIVES The aim of the study is to compare the efficacy of cold snare EMR versus hot snare EMR for non-pedunculated polyps 10-20mm in size with respect to complete resection rates and adverse events. DESIGN : A Randomised interventional study. Sample size: 330
Effect of Home Based Pulmonary Rehabilitation on Exacerbation and Hospital Admission in Severe COPD
The study is a randomized controlled trial. The cases will be divided into two groups as the Homespirometer group and the control group. Breathing exercises, aerobic exercise and peripheral muscle strengthening will be performed in both groups. A home-type spirometer will be given to the homespirometer group and it will …
