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

This evidence raises the need to determine the assistance quality care in asthma population in the influential area of Hospital Universitario Virgen de la Victoria through the assistance quality care indicators established by GEMA guidelines. The aim of this study is to obtain clinical data that allow to assess assistance quality degree in order to find improvement opportunities to achieve a better control of asthmatic patients within this influential area.

Covid-19 has increased organizational tensions within health services (lack of resources, difficulties in recruiting healthcare professionals , elderly and polypathological patients, etc.) and tested the reliability of health facilities. This project aims to draw lessons so that hospitals can transform themselves while improving their reliability to face future crises and other exceptional situations. Research hypothesis: Crisis management arrangements lack sensitivity to uncertainty, which manifests itself in lower quality of care and efficiency losses for the entire institution. The virtuous practices implemented during the crisis spontaneously incorporated principles of the highly reliable organization. The integration of principles from complexity theory into the management of institutions promotes high reliability organization. Sustaining these virtuous practices in order to anticipate and cope with crises requires the activation of two interconnected levers: a shared vision (by patients, healthcare professionals, ARS, HAS, and the Ministry in the first place) of the meaning of the action taken by hospitals, and the development of a policy enabling hospitals to become both learning and highly reliable. Main objective: To evaluate the management process of the Covid-19 epidemic by the university hospitals of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, and the structures linked to them (establishments in their territory, ARS, user associations), in terms of points of improvement and good practices. This evaluation concerns the preparation, management and exit phases of the crisis.

Bronchiectasis is a chronic respiratory disease characterized by permanent bronchiectasis.The incidence and prevalence of bronchiectasis have assumed continuously grows in global. Different from overseas, bronchiectasis is common disease in China. This study will collect data from the real-world bronchiectasis database and follow up for one year, describe the bronchiectasis exacerbation rate and proportions for frequent exacerbation, clinical features and prognosis of bronchiectasis exacerbation, the treatment pattern (when clinically stable) during follow-up period; and describe characteristics of bronchiectasis at baseline. This study will also explore potential baseline risk factors for bronchiectasis exacerbation during follow-up period.

Mediastinitis are rare but serious infections, with mortality rates varying from 6 to 30% according to the literature. They are essentially linked to surgical management (cardio-thoracic in particular), but some forms can be spontaneous, after extension of an ENT infectious focus, for example. Despite their seriousness, there is no strong recommendations to define their management, especially concerning antibiotic therapy and its duration. The aim of this research is to make a descriptive analysis of the cases of mediastinitis at HUS in recent years, and to study the therapeutic strategy used

During COVID-19 pandemic, in the lockdown period, reduced physical activity and obesity were reported in children. In Turkey, face to face education was ceased after March 16, till the end of the previous academic year and education was tried to be substituted remotely. A temporary lockdown was implemented for children and young people under the age of 20, between April 3 and June 5 2020. At 45 days following the lockdown of children, 72% of the parents with children aged 6-13 years stated that their screen time had increased to a mean of 6.4 hours per day. Engaging more time in physical activity, and less in sedentary and leisure screen time was found to be associated with less anxiety during pandemic. Before 2020-2021 academic year, government and educators increased their preparedness for the second and third waves and improved the technological infrastructure. Depending on grades, preferences of the family, primary education continued remotely between November 2020 and July 2021. The aim of this study is to investigate whether musculoskeletal complaints are increased in school-age children during the pandemics and whether there is a relationship between the decreased level of physical activity, increased screen time, poor posture and musculoskeletal complaints.

In this comparative prospective study, we aim to compare the classic Macintosh laryngoscope and the Mac Grath videolaryncoscope in ICU covid 19 patients recruiting intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation. patients meeting inclusion criteria were randomized in 2 groups: MacGrath and Macintosh. we collected anthropometric and intubation data among all patients, and the 2 groups were compared regarding the time for intubation, the need of alternative techniques to intubate and the impact on the oxygenation by recording the lowest SPO2.

Intensive care unit (ICU) survivors and their families frequently present mental, cognitive and physical impairments lasting years. The ongoing pandemic could affect the duration, variety, and severity of these impairments. Our aim is to determine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the physical, mental, and cognitive health of survivors, the experience of their families and their treating healthcare professionals in the long-term. This is a prospective, multicentre, mixed-methods cohort study in seven Chilean ICUs. The perceptions of family members regarding the ICU stay and the later recovery will be explored 3 months after discharge. Health care professionals will be invited to discuss the challenges faced during the pandemic using semi-structured interviews.

Invivoscribe, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary LabPMM, LLC are collecting peripheral blood specimens from patients with suspected SARS-CoV-2 viral infections. These donors will be from a population of patients who are already providing nasal pharyngeal (NP) swab samples in universal transport media (UTM) for COVID-19 testing at LabPMM LLC. Specimens meeting this research protocol's inclusion criteria may be evaluated with various molecular techniques in order to identify nucleic acid sequences, antibodies, and/or antigens with the potential of being used to develop novel SARS-CoV-2 detection methods and COVID- 19 treatments and/or prevention methods (e.g. drug or vaccine development).

Objective of this observational multicentric retrospective-prospective study is to describe the number and the characteristics of patients with Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) for SARS-CoV2 positivity admitted to Intensive Care Units during the first 6 months of epidemic.

This is a prospective follow-up non-intervention study that will be carried out at Hematology/ Oncology Department, Children's hospital, Ain-Shams University, Cairo, Egypt. All followed-up children below 18 years with cancer during the one year study period from May 2020 till Apr 2021 either at the out-patients clinic or inpatient department will be recruited.
