Bronchioscopic Lung Volume Reduction (BLVR)

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

For patients with emphysema, lung volume reduction by insertion of endobronchial valves could be an expedient approach to improve the diaphragm function and the strength of breathing muscles. Therefore in the present study investigators intend to examine, whether the lung volume reduction by valves might improve the physical capacity and the quality of life.

Nonspecific Low Back Pain in Association With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Low Back PainChronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Introduction. Nonspecific low back pain (NSLBP) is a very prevalent medical condition, especially in subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The diaphragm is a respiratory muscle, but it takes part in trunk stabilization on lumbar spine. NSLBP is related to lack of spinal control. The COPD symptoms include lack of efficiency in diaphragm, which could be connected to NSLBP. Hypothesis and objectives. COPD can contribute to NSLBP. It is associated with diaphragm weakness, severity of respiratory function, lower level of physical activity and quality of life in COPD. Methods. A descriptive observational cross-sectional study was conducted with two groups: the first one with subjects with COPD and the second one with subjects without it. Data were collected on: pulmonary function; respiratory muscles strength; trunk postural control; quality of life with COPD; physical activity level; lumbar pain presence, intensity and disability. Data were collected in a single session.

Evaluation of Novel Lung Function Parameters and Quantitative Computed Tomography (qCT) in Patients...

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary DiseaseBronchial Asthma1 more

Current diagnostic tools used in pulmonary disease often do not meet the challenges set by the respective pathophysiology. The investigators therefore aimed to evaluate novel or not widely used diagnostic approaches for the detection and therapeutic monitoring of patients with various pulmonary diseases.

Interstitial Lung Diseases Cohort Study in China

Interstitial Lung Diseases

In this project, the clinical diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases was carried out for the population with suspected interstitial lung diseases selected from the community cohort, and the confirmed patients were included into the existing clinical cohort of interstitial lung diseases, forming an interstitial lung diseases special disease cohort consisting of 3,000 patients and corresponding matched control groups. According to characteristics of interstitial lung disease and the needs of National Key R&D Program of China, this study will formulate unified clinical follow-up strategy to do long-term standardized clinical follow-up in patients with interstitial lung disease. The detailed information for clinical diagnosis and treatment as well as biological samples were collected to identify disease phenotype and build the database and biological sample library for interstitial lung disease cohort study. This study aims to provide evidence for molecular classification, screening and validation of biomarkers as well as precise diagnosis and prevention in patients with interstitial lung disease.

Interstitial Lung Disease Questionnaire

Interstitial Lung Disease

To evaluate the health status of patients with Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD), and how this varies between subgroups of ILD. To investigate the prevalence of symptoms, anxiety, depression, and sleep-disordered breathing within ILD patient population. To assess the economic impact of ILD. To understand how self-aware ILD patients are regarding their treatment/management. To compare the demographic details, including smoking status and occupational history, of patients with interstitial lung disease
