Active clinical trials for "Lung Diseases, Obstructive"

There is an excess of hospitalization rates for acute exacerbation of COPD in Picardy compared to the national data. A first study realized in Picardy has shown a link between air quality and COPD. Nevertheless, the particles type is unknown and according to it, impact on COPD could be different. The investigator goal is to find a correlation between acute exacerbation of COPD consultation rate and daily ultra thin particles in Haut de France. The investigators will correlate the particles composition with daily acute exacerbation of COPD rate. All COPD patients with a diagnosis of acute exacerbation in emergency room in University Hospital of Amiens-Picardie and Lille, and Clinique de l'Europe between 01/01/2020 and 31/12/2020 will be included. For each patient, home and work address will be collected. The duration of 1 year was chosen to take into account seasonal variations. In parallel, a daily report of the rate of ozone, particles (PM2.5 and PM10), dioxide nitrogen but also odours and pollens will be done by ATMO Haut de France.

The purpose of this prospective, epidemiological, cohort study is to evaluate the lung microbiome in stable-state chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Japanese participants

In korea, it is not easy to practice standard pulmonary rehabilitation (PR). in this study, we'll educate PR to patients and make reservation for re-visiting outpatients clinics with PR diary. we want to confirm whether patients, who perform home based PR during more than 30 minutes in 3 days per week, present improved dyspnea score or quality of life compared with non-compliance group.

A spirometry study is performed in a patient diagnosed with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. An initial measurement is carried out and the patient is then put on a four-week physiotherapy treatment plan. Four spirometry measurements were taken to assess different variables and an improvement in all the spirometry values was established.

The aim of the project was to assess the acceptability of the device as well as adherence to the study. The objective of study was to assess physical activity in patients with COPD during in-hospital pulmonary rehabilitation program. The number of steps, average energy expenditure expressed in MET and kcal, and physical activity time during the consecutive 5 days of the rehabilitation stay were analyzed. Physical activity level was continuously monitored to assess intensity during in-hospital procedures as well as during leisure time.

Exposure to Aspergillus spores is associated with symptoms of asthma or airway inflammation (Chaudhary & Marr, 2011; Smith & Denning, 2011), leading to the possible onset of severe fungal complications with acute or chronic inflammation. In patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), whose main etiological factor is cigarette smoke, A. fumigatus sensitization has been reported to be related to poor lung function (Bafadhel et al., 2014). Besides, COPD patients with fungal sensitization exhibit greater granulocyte count, implying more severe inflammation (Agarwal, Gaur, & Chowdhary, 2015). Fungal cultures from sputum are frequently positive in patients with asthma or with COPD (Pashley, 2014). Fungal colonization and infection have also been suspected to be related to exacerbations of COPD, but their potential role in the pathogenesis of COPD is poorly understood (Bafadhel et al., 2014). The hypothesis is that patients with COPD have a worsening of their pulmonary symptoms after exposure to fungal spores. This study will ensure the feasibility of quantifying environmental fungal exposure in patients' dwellings. For this, an electrostatic wipe will be deposited in the living room and another one in the bedroom for 12 weeks. The wipes will be analyzed by the mycology laboratory of the Croix Rousse hospital. If the results of this first study are conclusive, it is planned to continue this analysis with a regional multicentre study.

In recent studies with musculoskeletal system disorders in chronic respiratory patients, it has been reported that postural control is affected in COPD patients. The aim of this study to investigate relationship between spinal structure and mobility an severity of dyspnea in patients with COPD.

This study looks at data from people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Some used Stiolto Respimat and the others Trelegy Ellipta as their first treatment for COPD. The purpose of this study is to find out how well the treatments worked. Researchers compare the time to first COPD flare-up (exacerbation) between the 2 treatments. The study analyses anonymous data from pharmacy claims collected over 3.5 years.

The investigators examine the 15-year mortality after an admission for an exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease (COPD).

This is an observational study which aims to evaluate the possibility of using data from a capnography device to assess obstructive airway severity in both Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Asthma patients.
