Clinical trials

This phase IV randomized controlled clinical trial intend to compare the effect of three close standard inhaled triple therapies and one close standard inhaled double therapy on the small airway in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD-B) and chronic bronchitis without obstruction (BCNO) exposed to wood smoke. The treatment phase duration is of 3 months. As primary outcome, the resistance change in post-bronchodilatator impulse oscilometry will me measure at 30 minutes, 2 hours, 4 hours, and 24 hours post first dose of the asigned medication, and then at 1 and 3 months of treatment. As secondary outcomes, change in respiratory symptoms and health related quality of life will be assess after 1 and 3 months of treatment.

The aim of this study is to analyze the effect of enriched formula with omega-3 in the 30-day incidence infection and inflammatory response following lung resection surgery in lung cancer patients.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of the prescription of two doses of protein on the amount in kilograms of muscle mass and on the clinical evolution (time until safe swallowing, time until removal of the feeding stoma, number of hospital readmissions, feeding stoma infections, incidence of pneumonia, functionality, number of falls, fractures and mortality) at 6 months after hospital discharge in patients with enteral nutrition due to post-extubation dysphagia.

In the 20th century, tobacco caused the death of 100 million people worldwide and it is estimated that it will be responsible for 1 billion deaths in the 21st century. Currently 8 million people die each year from smoking, 7 million are associated with active smoking, thus being the main risk factor for loss of disability-adjusted life years for men and the ninth most important risk factor for women. In previous studies it has been reported that approximately 21% (14%-30%) of subjects who have required hospitalization are active smokers, being higher in men than in women (28% vs 14%). The initiation of treatment for smoking cessation in this group of subjects has shown an effectiveness rate of up to 65% to maintain abstinence 6 to 12 months after discharge. The effectiveness has been analyzed in scenarios with only brief advice, in some others with the use of medications such as varenicline, bupropion and nicotine replacement therapy, however, the interventions have not been standardized for adequate analysis, which could contribute to the different results.
