Lung TransplantLung Resection17 more

The goal of this research is to optimize the MRI system to obtain ideal lung images using Hyperpolarized (HP) Noble and Inert Fluorinated Gases as contrast agents. Lung coils tuned to the frequencies of these gases will be used. This study will take place at TBRHSC in the Cardiorespiratory Department and in the Research MRI facility.

Sputum Microbiota and the Association With Clinical Parameters in Steady-state, Acute Exacerbation...

Bronchiectasis

Study 1 is a cross-sectional investigation. Patients with clinically stable bronchiectasis (symptoms, including cough frequency, sputum volume and purulence, within normal daily variations) will undergo baseline assessment consisting of history taking, routine sputum culture, 16srRNA pyrosequencing, measurement of sputum inflammatory markers, oxidative stress biomarkers and MMPs, and spirometry. Microbiota taxa will be compared between bronchiectasis patients and healthy subjects. In study 2, patients inform investigators upon symptom deterioration. Following diagnosis of BEs, patients will undergo the aforementioned assessments as soon as possible. This entails antibiotic treatment, with slightly modified protocol, based on British Thoracic Society guidelines [16]. At 1 week after completion of 14-day antibiotic therapy, patients will undergo convalescence visit. Study 3 is a prospective 1-year follow-up scheme in which patients participated in telephone or hospital visits every 3 months. For individual visit, spirometry and sputum culture will be performed, and BEs will be meticulously captured from clinical charts and history inquiry, with the final decisions adjudicated following group discussion.

Effect of Inspiratory Muscle Training on Physiological Function and Clinical Outcomes After Lung...

Post-Lung Transplantation Bronchiectasis

The purpose of this research is to study the effect of training the inspiratory muscles (i.e. the muscle that allow you to breath-in) on exercise capacity, quality of life, and short-term clinical outcomes in patients post lung transplant.

Efficacy and Safety of Sitafloxacin in the Treatment of Acute Exacerbation of Bronchiectasis in...

Acute Exacerbation of Bronchiectasis

The treatment of acute exacerbation of bronchiectasis requires comprehensive treatment, and antibacterial drug therapy is the key. The study is a multicenter, randomized, evaluator-blinded, levofloxacin parallel-controlled clinical study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sitafloxacin in the treatment of acute exacerbations of bronchiectasis in adults.

Non-Cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of brensocatib at 10 mg and 25 mg compared with placebo on the rate of pulmonary exacerbations (PEs) over the 52-week treatment period.

A Study to Test Whether Different Doses of BI 1291583 Help People With Bronchiectasis

Bronchiectasis

This study is open to adults with bronchiectasis. People can join the study if they produce sputum and have a history of flare-ups (also called exacerbations). The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 1291583 helps people with bronchiectasis. Participants are put into 4 groups randomly, which means by chance. Participants in groups 1, 2, and 3 get different doses of BI 1291583. Participants in group 4 get placebo. Placebo tablets look like BI 1291583 tablets, but do not contain any medicine. Participants take the tablets once a day. Participants are in the study for between 6 months and 1 year. During this time, they visit the study site about 10 times and get about 5 phone calls from the site staff. The doctors document when participants experience flare-ups during the study. The time to the first flare-ups is compared between the treatment groups. Doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.

Evaluation of Periodontal Treatment in Patients With Bronchiectasis

BronchiectasisPeriodontal Disease

Background: Association between periodontal disease (PD) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been widely studied and the aspiration of periodontal pathogens is one of the most accepted causal mechanisms for pulmonary exacerbation. Bronchiectasis is clinically quite similar with COPD, including chronic administration of antibiotics, increased systemic inflammation and relatively similar clinical symptoms, but for the time being; there are no studies that have correlated this condition to PD. This study will evaluate if the scaling and root planning (SRP) associated with photodynamic therapy improves periodontal clinical parameters, halitosis, and the quantity of microorganisms associated with exacerbation of bronchiectasis in saliva, subgingival periodontal microenvironment, sputum and nasal lavage at baseline, after 3 months and one year of SRP. Methods/Design: Ninety patients with chronic periodontal disease and bronchiectasis will be enrolled in the study and they will be treated as follow:G1 control (n = 30) - supragingival scaling (SS) and dental hygiene orientation (DHO); G2 experimental (n = 30) - SRP + DHO; G3- experimental (n = 30) - SRP + PDT + DHO. The quantification of bacterial groups commonly associated with exacerbation of bronchiectasis (P aeruginosa, S. aureus) and periodontal diseases (P. gingivalis), will be evaluated in periodontal pockets, saliva, nasal lavage and sputum by quantitative PCR at baseline 3 months and one year after the SRP. G1 patients will receive SRP upon completion of the investigation. If the mean depth of probing of this group worsen (> 1mm) at 3 months they will be excluded from the study, treated (SRP) and the data will be described. Discussion: The results of this protocol will determine the efficacy of periodontal treatment in decreasing the total amount microorganisms in saliva periodontal pocket, sputum and nasal lavage, the most probable niches of bronchiectasis exacerbation, and reducing local inflammation and halitosis after 3 months and one year. It is expected an higher improvement in all parameters measured over 3 months and 1 year for G3
