Idiopathic bronchiectasis

This study investigates whether patterns in speech and breathing can indicate the presence of obstructive respiratory diseases like COPD. Researchers will collect short voice recordings from patients with and without lung disease and compare them to standard lung function tests. …

This study looked at whether people with chronic lung disease who experience drops in oxygen during exercise can walk just as far without extra oxygen as with it. Forty patients completed a 6-minute walk test twice: once breathing normal air and once with low-flow oxygen. The goa…

This study looked at 275 adults with a lung condition called bronchiectasis, where airways are stretched and trap mucus, leading to infections. The goal was to learn more about the physical traits, lung scans, and germs in the lungs of people with the unexplained form of the dise…

This study investigates how the immune system responds to COVID-19 in people with chronic lung conditions like asthma, COPD, or cystic fibrosis, compared to those without lung disease. Researchers collect blood, sputum, and nasal samples to measure immune signals and gene activit…

This study looked at how the lungs move chloride, sodium, and bicarbonate in 42 patients with idiopathic bronchiectasis (widened airways of unknown cause). Researchers measured electrical signals in the airway lining during bronchoscopy and took nasal and bronchial samples. The g…

This study tested a special MRI technique called Ultra Short Echo Time (UTE) to see if it can take clearer pictures of the lungs than traditional MRI. Researchers collected images and health information from people with and without lung disease to help doctors better understand l…
