This study looks at whether adding probiotics to standard pulmonary rehabilitation can improve inflammation and overall health in people with COPD. About 60 adults with COPD will take probiotics alongside their rehab program. Researchers will measure things like breathing, body c…

This study is testing whether a combination of noninvasive sensors—like a smart stethoscope, pulse oximeter, and motion tracker—can accurately estimate the severity of obstructive sleep apnea. Researchers will enroll 150 adults who are already scheduled for an overnight sleep stu…

This study tests a special 'eccentric' exercise program for people with COPD, a chronic lung disease. The goal is to see if this smart training can improve heart and lung fitness, immune function, and quality of life. About 170 adults who have done pulmonary rehab for at least 3 …

This study looks at whether a high-fidelity 3D-printed manikin can improve how respiratory therapy students learn to use noninvasive positive pressure ventilation. About 50 students from Fu Jen Catholic University will take part. Researchers will compare test scores before and af…

This study tests whether 3D printed models of a patient's own diseased aorta can help surgeons plan aneurysm surgery more effectively. Ten adults with aortic aneurysms who need non-emergency surgery will have their CT scans turned into physical models. The main goal is to see if …

This study looks at how Alzheimer's patients naturally speak and compares it to how dementia is shown in novels. Researchers want to see if fiction matches real-life memory loss patterns. The goal is to create a tool that helps doctors spot dementia earlier and helps caregivers b…

This study tests whether a pressure-sensing mattress can accurately monitor breathing and heart rate in 60 newborns who need breathing support. The goal is to see if this non-invasive method could help doctors decide when to safely remove a breathing tube. The research focuses on…

This study looks at whether changing the amount of liquid used to mix the antibiotic colistin for inhalation affects how well it works in patients on ventilators with pneumonia. Researchers will compare different diluent volumes to see if they impact hospital stay length, surviva…

This study looks at how nutrition after heart surgery affects gut bacteria and recovery. Researchers will measure certain chemicals made by gut bacteria in 30 heart surgery patients. The goal is to see if a special diet or probiotics can improve health outcomes after surgery.

This study looks at fluid from around the lungs (pleural effusion) to find new markers that could help diagnose lung adenocarcinoma. Researchers will compare samples from 100 patients with and without cancer. The goal is to see if these markers can make diagnosis easier and more …

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…
