This study tests whether adding probiotics to standard pulmonary rehabilitation can improve symptoms and reduce inflammation in people with COPD. Researchers will measure breathing, body composition, and blood markers in 60 adults. The goal is to see if probiotics offer extra ben…

This study tests a new way to estimate obstructive sleep apnea severity using a chest sensor, finger clip, and motion tracker instead of a full overnight sleep lab. Researchers will build an AI model that combines sound, oxygen, and movement data to predict breathing pauses durin…

This study tests a new, smart exercise program for people with COPD. The goal is to see if this type of training can improve heart and lung fitness, muscle strength, immune function, and quality of life. Researchers will enroll 170 adults with COPD who have already completed at l…

This study looks at whether a high-detail 3D-printed manikin can help respiratory therapy students learn how to give noninvasive breathing support. About 50 students from Fu Jen Catholic University will take a test before and after using the manikin. The goal is to see if this ne…

This study tests whether a special pressure-sensing mattress can accurately track breathing and heart rate in newborns who need breathing support. Researchers will compare the mattress readings to standard monitors in 60 infants. The goal is to see if this non-invasive method can…

This study looks at how the amount of liquid used to mix colistin for inhalation affects outcomes in patients on ventilators. Researchers will compare different diluent volumes to see if they change hospital stay length, breathing support needs, and survival rates. The goal is to…

This study looks at how nutrition after heart surgery might affect gut bacteria and overall recovery. Researchers will measure certain chemicals made by gut bacteria in 30 people having heart surgery. The goal is to see if a nutritional intervention can improve metabolic health a…

This study looks at how chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) changes the way people walk and move in daily life. Researchers will measure foot pressure, heart and lung function, and walking ability in 60 adults aged 45 to 65. The goal is to find better ways to evaluate an…

This study looks for new molecular markers in the fluid that builds up around the lungs (pleural effusion) of people with lung adenocarcinoma. Researchers will compare these markers between cancerous and non-cancerous fluid samples from 100 patients. The goal is to find better wa…

This study looks at how Alzheimer's patients naturally speak and compares it to fictional portrayals of dementia in novels. Researchers want to find similarities and differences in memory loss patterns. The goal is to create a tool that helps doctors diagnose dementia earlier and…

This study tests whether 3D printed models of a patient's own aortic aneurysm can help surgeons plan surgery better. Ten adults with thoracic or abdominal aortic aneurysms who are scheduled for non-emergency surgery will have their CT scans turned into physical models. The main g…
