Active clinical trials for "Respiratory Tract (Lung and Bronchial) Diseases"

An observational study to explore prognoses and clinical treatments of the patients with non-small cell lung cancer complicated with oligometastases

This experiment has now collected 50 cases, all through CT chest scans and blood exosome detection. Twenty-two patients underwent surgical treatment and 14 tissue specimens were examined for cancer and paracancerous tissue exosomesWe found that exosomal micor-A was highly expressed in early stage lung cancer tissues and was significantly higher than paracancerous tissues. The micor-A in the adjacent tissues was significantly higher than that in peripheral blood exosomes

all patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction superior or equal to 50% less than 2 years after an acute coronary event and receiving ticagrelor will undergo a sleep polygraphy

The aim of the study is to investigate sleep apnea, circulation and metabolism in acromegaly before and after surgery and/or medical treatment.

High Tidal volume is one of the main mechanisms that lead to lung injuries under mechanical ventilation (ventilator induced lung injury: VILI). It could also induce lung damage during spontaneous or assisted ventilation (patient-self inflicted lung injury: P-SILI). Different non invasive oxygenation devices are available to deliver oxygen during acute hypoxemic respiratory failure: high concentration mask, high flow nasal canula and non-invasive ventilation (with bucco-nasal mask or helmet). The investigators hypothesized that the device may influence the tidal volume. Therefore, the objective of this study is to measure and compare the tidal volume during the use of each device. Tidal volume will be measured using Electrical impedence tomography.

The study evaluates the rest and exercise hemodynamics of patients presenting either idiopathic fibrotic pulmonary disease or pulmonary fibrosis secondary to connective tissue disease.

Russian National Registry of Patients With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) and Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension (CTEPH) is a multicenter, observational study of the clinical course and disease management of PAH and CTEPH patients. designed to gather demographic, clinical and prognostic data of routine medical care in prospective manner for newly initiated treatment since Jan 2016. The internet-based registry (www.medibase.pro) fulfills high quality standards through several measures (planned minimum centre contribution of at least 10 patients per year, automated plausibility checks of data at entry, queries, monitoring with source data verification in >50% of participating centers). All consecutive patients diagnosed with World Health Organization Pulmonary Hypertension Groups (WHO Group I) PAH according to specific hemodynamic criteria will be enrolled in participating centers after signing the informed consents. Participating patients will be followed for a minimum of five years from the time of enrollment. It can be applied, among further purposes, for quality assurance: individual centers can confidentially compare their results with the combined outcome of the other centers. It is expected that the registry contributes to optimization of specific drug therapy for PAH and Pulmonary Hypertension (PH).

The aim of this study is to determine the factors associated with alveolar hypoventilation in terms of cognitive impairment, daytime sleepiness, respiratory function, nocturnal respiratory events This evaluation will clarify the clinical phenotypes of respiratory disease in myotonic steinert dystrophy.

This will be a prospective, multicentre study conducted to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of two TB breath-based technologies independently of the manufacturers. Assay error and failure rates and device operational characteristics will also be assessed during this study. Participants will be enrolled in this study in line with FIND sample banking activities. Results from index tests will not be used to make clinical decisions. Participation in this study will not alter the standard of care.

The purpose of this study is to assess the accuracy of FRC and airway resistance calculate values of Spircare device as compared to the conventional body plethysmograph in healthy adults and patients with obstructive and restrictive pulmonary diseases/disorders.
