In this research we want to determine whether patients prefer the ProTrach DualCare over other speaking valves, if it improves quality of life, compliance with HME use and lung function.
Primary objective: To show that the variability of whole blood total and unbound plasma tacrolimus concentrations during the first 6 days post transplantation is larger than the variation of tacrolimus concentrations in stable clinical situation.…
To assess if preoxygenation with 100% O2 or preoxygenation with 100% O2 and PEEP are different with respect to the development of atelectasis as determined by lung computed tomography.
Analyze the protective effect of intranasal corticosteroids against exercise induced upper and lower airway obstruction
To demonstrate superiority of tiotropium vs. salmeterol in reducing exacerbations which are an important patient outcome because they are a major cause of morbidity from COPD. In addition, they are associated with a more rapid decline in lung…
To test this hypothesis by administering inhaled isotonic magnesium sulphate to patients with stable severe asthma and persistent airflow obstruction (postbronchodilator FEV1 < 75% predicted) and determine the bronchodilating effect by…
The primary objective is to evaluate whether the addition of a LABA to an ICS (FSC) therapy is non-inferior in terms of risk of serious asthma-related events (asthma-related hospitalizations, endotracheal intubations, and deaths) compared with ICS…
To compare quality of life, cost-effectivenessand number of dissected mediastinal lymph node as a derivative oncologic outcome between open- and VATS lobectomy.
What is the correlation between change in Mannitol PD15 (provoking dose of mannitol to cause a >= 15% fall in FEV1 ) 6h after a single dose of beclomethasone and after 4 weeks of treatment with beclomethasone?
To primary objective is to demonstrate a reduction in lipoteichoic acid release in patients with pneumococcal pneumonia treated with rifampicin. This will be done by measuring lipoteichoic acid in serum and urine.Evaluable patients for Intention-to-…
Is a higher dose of aerosolised salbutamol as a treatment for preterm infants suspected for developing BPD more effective than a lower dose on short-term clinical effects?
What is the (cost-)effectiveness of salbutamol inhalations (4x200*g for 7 days) versus placebo in children aged 6-24 months presenting to their primary care physician with wheezing?
Objectives: 1) To investigate change in FEV1 after 3 months nocturnal NIV in stable hypercapnic COPd patients as compared to standard care2) To investigate the relationship between FEV1 change and modification of systemic and airway inflammation and…
To analyze the protective effect of azelastine/fluticasone propionate against exercise-induced airway narrowing by measuring inspiratory and expiratory airflow limitation and airway resistance and reactance in asthmatic children.
Primary:To compare the effectiveness of TRELEGY ELLIPTA with non-ELLIPTA MITT for the impact of COPDon wellbeing and daily life after 24 weeks* treatment. Secondary:To compare the effectiveness of TRELEGY ELLIPTA with non-ELLIPTA MITT on lung…
Primary:To evaluate the effects of singleinhaler triple therapy (FF/UMEC/VI)compared to multiple inhaler triplecombination therapy withbudesonide/formoterol plus tiotropiumafter 12 weeks of treatment on lungfunctionOther:To evaluate the effects of…
This study aims to investigate if there is a correlation between the severity of bronchoconstriction after an exercise challenge test 6h after a single dose of Qvar and after 4 weeks of treatment with Qvar, in order to know if the respons to a…
