This study is testing a community-based program that uses exercise training and lifestyle changes to help people with high blood pressure, high blood sugar, or high cholesterol. The goal is to improve heart and lung function and overall disease control. The program will enroll 10…

This study is testing whether adding probiotics to standard pulmonary rehabilitation can help control inflammation and improve breathing, physical function, and nutrition in people with COPD. Researchers will measure markers like interleukin-6 and track exercise capacity. The goa…

This study is testing whether using a smaller or larger amount of fluid to mix the antibiotic colistin affects how well it works in patients on ventilators with pneumonia. Sixty intensive care patients will receive the same dose of colistin but mixed with either 1 ml or 2 ml of s…

This study tests a smart eccentric cycling exercise for 170 people with COPD. The goal is to see if this type of training improves heart and lung fitness, immune function, and quality of life better than standard care. Participants must have been in pulmonary rehab for at least 3…

This study is looking for new biological markers in the fluid that builds up around the lungs (pleural effusion) in people with lung adenocarcinoma. Researchers will compare these markers between cancerous and non-cancerous fluid samples from 100 patients. The goal is to see if t…

This study tests whether a combination of noninvasive sensors—listening to breathing sounds, measuring oxygen levels, and tracking body movement—can accurately estimate the severity of obstructive sleep apnea. Researchers will enroll 150 adults suspected of having sleep apnea and…

This study looks at whether using a powered robot suit to help move the legs of patients who depend on a ventilator can improve their leg strength and breathing. Researchers will work with 30 adults in a respiratory care center. The goal is to see if this type of exercise can hel…

This study is testing whether giving probiotics after heart surgery can improve recovery by changing the bacteria in the gut. Researchers will measure certain chemicals in the blood that come from gut bacteria. The trial involves 30 adults scheduled for heart surgery, who will re…

This study looks at how Alzheimer's disease is described in novels and how patients actually speak. Researchers will compare the language of 40 people—some with early-stage Alzheimer's and some healthy—to see if fiction matches real-life memory loss. The goal is to create a tool …

This study explores whether 3D printed models of a patient's own diseased aorta can help surgeons plan aneurysm surgery more effectively. Ten adults with thoracic or abdominal aortic aneurysms who are scheduled for non-emergency surgery will have their CT scans turned into physic…

This study is testing whether a pressure-sensing mattress can accurately monitor the breathing and heart rate of newborns who need breathing support. The mattress uses a technology called ballistocardiography to detect tiny movements. Researchers hope this could lead to a gentler…

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, walking ability, and heart-lung function in 60 adults aged 45 to 65. The goal is to find better ways to evaluate and im…

This study tests whether a 3D-printed manikin helps respiratory therapy students learn noninvasive positive pressure ventilation better than traditional models. Fifty students from Fu Jen Catholic University will take a test before and after training with either the 3D-printed mo…
