Reducing Disparities in the Quality of Advance Care Planning for Older Adults

Metastatic CancerCongestive Heart Failure7 more

This study compares the effectiveness of two different approaches to advance care planning among older African Americans and older Whites living in the community. The two approaches are a structured approach with an advance care planning conversation led by a trained person using Respecting Choices (First Steps) and a patient-driven approach which includes a Five Wishes advance care planning form written in plain language. The study will determine which approach is more effective at increasing advance care planning within each racial group and reducing differences between the two groups in advance care planning.

Goals of Care Conversations Study

Seriously Ill PatientsCancer6 more

The long term goal is to improve quality of care in Veterans with serious illnesses by aligning medical care with Veterans' goals and values. The objective of this study is to use a sequentially randomized trial to determine what implementation strategies are effective to increase early, outpatient goals of care conversations. The study will use interviews with and surveys of medical providers, patients, and caregivers, along with medical record data. This work is significant because it tests ways Veterans can express their goals and preferences for life sustaining treatments and have them honored.

Move With Air: Physiological Response Assessment

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary DiseaseInterstitial Lung Disease1 more

A fan blowing cool air to the face has been shown to alleviate breathlessness in malignant and non-malignant disease at rest and during exercise, however the underlying physiological mechanisms remain unknown. This random order, three-condition design study will explore physiological mechanisms of breathlessness relief with fan-to-face therapy during constant-rate exercise in people with cardiorespiratory disease.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

It will be a randomized control trial at Services Hospital Lahore through convenience sampling technique which will be allocated through simple random sampling through sealed opaque enveloped in to Group A and Group B . Group A: patients will be treated with basic breathing technique whereas Group B: will be treated by will be breathing technique along with diaphragm and abdominal training. The study will be completed within 6 months after synopsis approval from ethical Committee of RCRS & AHS . Data will be entered and analyzed by SPSS version 25. After assessing the normality of data , it will be decided either parametric or non-parametric test will be use within a group or between two groups.

Reducing Respiratory Symptoms of Pulmonary Irradiation in Interstitial Lung Disease

Lung CancerInterstitial Lung Disease

In this double-blind phase II randomized controlled trial, patients with lung cancer or ≤2 oligometastatic pulmonary lesions and a concomitant diagnosis of ILD who are planned for radical Radiation Therapy (RT) will be randomized using a 2 x 2 factorial design to oral N-acetylcysteine (NAC) versus placebo, and also to short course corticosteroids versus placebo.

Registry of Autoimmune Interstitial Lung Disease

Interstitial Lung Disease Due to Systemic Disease

Interstitial lung diseases (ILD) constitute a group of entities characterized by inflammation and/or fibrosis of the lung parenchyma. In recent years, with the advent of new diagnostic tools and therapeutic options, multidisciplinary evaluation is essential, since it optimizes the interpretation of each case and the quality of care for these pathologies Consensus for the identification and management of ILD associated with SSc (ILD-SSc) is the only guideline published at present. In the others autoimmune ILD (Ai-ILD), screening, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up strategies are usually performed according to the criteria of the treating medical team. Guidelines regarding the follow-up and indication of immunosuppressive and antifibrotic treatment are lacking. Many questions on the horizon of the Ai-ILD should be answered as better quality evidence emerges from studies with a greater number of patients and better methodological design.

Muscles Oxygenation During Exercise in Fibrosing Interstitial Lung Diseases

Lung DiseasesInterstitial3 more

The type of this study is an observational prospective study. It will be done to determine the oxygenation status of the intercostal muscles and quadriceps femoris muscle during exercise in patients with fibrosing lung and to examine its relationship with exercise capacity, respiratory functions and respiratory muscle strength. The main questions that the study aims to answer are: Question 1: Do changes in muscle oxygenation during exercise affect respiratory functions in patients with Fibrosing Lung? Question 2: Do changes in muscle oxygenation during exercise affect exercise capacity in patients with Fibrosing Lung? Participants; demographic information such as age, height, weight will be questioned. Respiratory functions will be evaluated with a desktop spirometer, peripheral muscle strength measurement will be evaluated with a digital myometer, and functional capacity will be evaluated with a 6-minute walk test (6MWT). The Moxy device, which is a non-invasive near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), will be attached to the upper leg (the vastus lateralis of the quadriceps muscle) and the rib (intercostal muscles) with a silk patch, and the oxygenation of the muscles here will be measured during the 6-minute walking test. In addition, fatigue status will be evaluated with the Modified Borg Scale.

The Effects of Pulmonary Rehabilitation on Bone Mineral Density in Patients Diagnosed With Chronic...

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Exercise has been reported to lead to improvements in Bone Mineral Density (BMD), however studies looking into the effects of exercise on BMD in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients are still very limited. In view of this, the aims of such a study are to identify whether a 16-week Pulmonary Rehabilitation programme leads to improvements in BMD in patients with osteopenia and osteoporosis diagnosed with stable COPD, something which is warranted to reduce the risk of fractures and their related adverse consequences in these patients.
