NCT01479595
This study is designed to investigate the efficacy and safety of QBX258 in subjects with moderate to severe asthma.
NCT00336050
Asthma can be caused by many factors, including mold, pollen, and other airborne pollutants. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect that air pollution has on the long-term severity of asthma symptoms and lung function in children.
NCT01763853
The need for fluid resuscitation (FR) in ICU patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is common. Indeed, relative or absolute hypovolemia is a common phenomenon that the intensivist must recognize early and treat promptly. Fluid challenge may have adverse side effects associated with fluid administration. The diffusion within the interstitial space may favor edema formation and cause cardiac dysfunction by volume overload. Edema formation is global and may specifically alter pulmonary alveolar epithelial integrity, leading to enhanced alveolar edema and impaired gas exchange. Currently, two types of fluids are frequently used, crystalloids and colloids. Among colloids and compared to crystalloids, albumin has the theoretical advantage of causing greater volume expansion. We hypothesized that a fluid resuscitation therapy with albumin generates less pulmonary edema than a fluid resuscitation therapy with crystalloids. The aim of our study is to compare alveolar fluid clearance, as a marker of alveolar edema fluid resorption, in 2 groups of patients: those treated with albumin and those treated with crystalloid.
NCT00005134
To determine morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease among American Indians and to compare cardiovascular disease risk factor levels among Indian groups living in different geographic areas.
NCT00281086
To address the problems of disparities in asthma care and morbidity by examining the influence of environmental/genetic factors and stress on the development of asthma.
NCT02355964
This project aims to study the effects of lifestyle changes on asthma and systemic inflammation in a randomized clinical trial of diet and exercise. The project is a multidisciplinary collaboration in the areas of medicine, physiology and nutrition, centred on improving asthma control in non-obese sedentary asthmatics via simple means.
NCT00041561
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of nitric oxide for inhalation on the duration of mechanical ventilation in pediatric patients with AHRF.
NCT02843893
Sedation-analgesia is an important therapy for patients in resuscitation. It requires a surveillance, in order to avoid excessive or insufficient dosages of sedative or nonmorphinics, sources of side effects. Yet, means of surveillance are limited in resuscitation care : variations of blood pressure and heart rate are not very sensitive criterias. Clinical scales to measure the sedation and analgesia level were proposed for patients in resuscitation, including the Richmond (RASS) sedation scale and the behavioural pain scale (BPS). The study of pupillary dilatation's reflex (RDP) due to a nociceptive stimulation is a tool proposed for the monitoring of the analgesia peroperative for patients under general anaesthetic. Yet, there isn't any study that measured the analgesia threshold by pupillometry for patients in resuscitation receiving a sedation-analgesia. The main goal of this study is to measure the minimum intensity of a painful stimulation (tetanus), leading to a 10% raise of RDP in a cohort of patients in resuscitation care receiving sedation-analgesia continuously.
NCT02466347
The objective of this pivotal study is to evaluate the relative bioavailability of Synflutide HFA 250/25 Inhaler and SeretideTM 250 EvohalerTM in healthy volunteers without charcoal block.
NCT00640718
The EverOn™ system developed by EarlySense, Ltd., the sponsor of this study, is intended to assist hospitals to better address and improve recognition and response to changes in a patient's condition. The system, monitors the patient while in bed consists of a contact-free sensor that is placed under the bed mattress and identifies respiratory and heart rates, degree of patient's movement or agitation while in bed as well as patient's actual exit out of the bed. The EverOn system does not require a physical contact with the patient, eliminating the need for any direct contact electrodes, leads, cuffs or nasal cannulae.
NCT02409550
This project is an observational study for the Italian language validation of the CARATKids questionnaire investigating the asthma and coexisting allergic rhinitis control in children. 113 patients with concomitant asthma and allergic rhinitis followed up from at least 3 months will be enrolled for the validation process at outpatient clinic of Pediatric Allergology \& Pulmonology (PAP) of Respiratory Disease Research Center (RDRC) within the Institute of Biomedicine and Molecular Immunology (IBIM) of the National Research Council (CNR) of Palermo (RDRC-IBIM CNR), Italy. The study will be completed in two medical examination, within 3-6 weeks of each other. CARATKids questionnaire, VAS (Visual Analogic Scale) and C-ACT (Children Asthma Control Test) will be filled by each patient. The main outcome is the Italian language validation of the CARATKids questionnaire investigating the coexisting asthma and allergic rhinitis control in children.
NCT02834325
The purpose of the study was to describe early predictors and to develop a prediction tool that accurately identifies the need for mechanical ventilation in pneumonia patients with acute respiratory failure treated with High Flow nasal cannula.
NCT00091767
To investigate genetic factors that affect asthma severity.
NCT00233285
To investigate gene-environment interactions that may influence susceptibility to respiratory illness in children living in highly polluted areas in California.
NCT00005359
To investigate the genetics of asthma by reexamining a carefully characterized population of patients with asthma, and by studying their families.
NCT00281112
To evaluate asthma morbidity in low-income, African-American children and adults with asthma.
NCT02478333
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of ALS-008176 following oral administration of single ascending dose of ALS-008176 in healthy Japanese adult participants.
NCT02825615
Purpose Two techniques of radial artery cannulation, ultrasound guided (USG) and conventional method (CM) were compared to find the better technique in general and in different hemodynamic subsets of patients. Method This is a prospective randomized, single center study of 100 patients. The details of the primary cannulation technique, number of attempts, time taken, failure and cross-over technique were recorded for three different hemodynamic subsets with Systolic blood pressure \<80 mm hg, 80-100 mm hg and \> 100 mm hg.
NCT02151422
Despite the advances in pharmacological therapy for asthma, there has been an increasing worldwide interest in alternative therapies for asthma. Treatments and therapies such as yoga, acupuncture, homeopathy, hypnosis and Buteyko and other breathing techniques have been used as complementary therapies however little evidence exists behind such practices. Data from systemic reviews and randomized control trials provide evidence of benefit although additional confirmation is still needed. Among the most common techniques are the Buteyko breathing exercises that aim to reduce minute ventilation by instruct asthmatics patients to breathe shallowly and slowly through the nose. The second common technique is the Pranayama, or yoga breathing exercises which emphasizes deep respirations and exhalation prolongation. Our goal is to assess the effectiveness of breathing exercises as a complementary therapy for asthma.
NCT01945944
Children who need to be on a ventilator often have thick secretions/mucus in their lungs. These secretions can obstruct the breathing tube and their windpipe, which can worsen lung function and prolong the need for the ventilator. Hypertonic saline is a medicine that is used to thin out secretions in patients with cystic fibrosis (and other conditions). We hypothesize that having children on a ventilator inhale this medication will shorten the amount of time that they need to be on the ventilator.
