NCT01949181
Prospective research to study the relationship between concentrations of metals/metalloids in blood, hair and lung tissue with the occurence of lung cancer or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
NCT02168673
Cigarette smoking is the major risk factor for developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Patients with COPD have difficulty clearing mucus and debris from their airways. Even smokers who have not developed COPD may have difficulty clearing the airways. This is partly because smoking impairs the function of cilia, tiny hairs lining the airways that sweep out mucus to keep the airways clean. The investigators have found that smoking reduces the length of cilia, which may contribute to the worsened cilia function in smoking and COPD. This is true even in smokers who show no signs of lung disease. The investigators believe that smoking affects levels of genes in lung cells, resulting in shorter cilia.
NCT02755363
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the selected osteopathic techniques have a positive impact on the residual volume decrease in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with severe and very severe airflow limitation in comparison to the manual therapy not aimed to decrease hyperinflation (placebo).
