NCT00449527
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate whether subjects respond similarly to the Onset of Effect Questionnaire (OEQ) using a 1 week recall period versus a 1 day recall period.
NCT00843544
The overall aim of this research project is to test the effectiveness of an integrative program, using journaling, yoga breathing instruction, and nutritional manipulation and supplementation, on quality of life and clinical outcomes in adults with asthma. An additional aim is to determine whether an integrative approach to asthma management leads to cost savings when compared to standard clinical care.Patients will be randomly assigned to either the intervention condition or a waitlist control condition. For the intervention group, all measures will be obtained at baseline, immediately after the treatment protocol is completed, and then at three month and six month intervals after the completion of the intervention. For the control group, data will be collected at the same times as the intervention group, with one exception: data collected at the completion of the treatment protocol will be replaced with data collection at six weeks post-baseline for the control group. Data will be collected using measures of quality of life (Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire and SF-12), pulmonary function and health care utilization and expenditures. Participants assigned to the treatment group will begin in groups of ten. The treatment protocol will consist of six 1-2 hour sessions over a six-week period as follows: 1. Subjects will attend a two-session class on healthy eating focused on reducing inflammation-promoting foods in the diet. All subjects will also be started on fish oil and vitamin C supplements, as well as on a supplement called Kaprex, which is an extract from hops and rosemary with anti-inflammatory action. Supplements willl be provided free of charge. Subjects will be provided with a take home supply to begin using. 2. Subjects will attend two classes at CCHH in yoga breathing techniques and will then be provided with a CD for home study and practice 3. Subjects will attend two guided journaling sessions at CCHH in which subjects will be asked to write for a 30-minute period about the most traumatic or stressful life experience to date.

\- Estimate the incidence rate of hMPV infection detected by RT-PCR from frozen nasal wash aspirates in children at high risk for severe LRI disease (hospitalized at \<2 years of age).
NCT00174733
To investigate the efficacy of ciclesonide MDI either as once daily or a twice daily regimen in patients with mild to moderate asthma, who have previously been treated with an inhaled corticosteroid.
NCT00044811
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of fexofenadine 120mg BID compared to placebo in the treatment of subjects with mild to moderate persistent asthma
NCT00044824
NCT00418353
Antenatal corticosteroids result in substantial decrease in neonatal morbidity and mortality by specifically reducing the risk of respiratory distress syndrome, intraventricular hemorrhage and neonatal death among premature infants. No human randomized study has formally compared betamethasone and dexamethasone, the preferred corticosteroids for antenatal therapy, with regards to their effectiveness in reducing neonatal morbidities and mortality. Our objective was to compare betamethasone with dexamethasone in terms of effectiveness in reducing perinatal morbidities and mortality among preterm infants.
NCT01156844
This study assessed the bronchodilator efficacy of three different regimens of indacaterol in patients with asthma
NCT00474656
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common and catastrophic complication of critical illness related to burns, motor vehicle accidents, or overwhelming infection. ARDS kills 40-70% of affected patients. Patients with ARDS require life support in the form of a ventilator to breathe for them while their lungs heal. Ironically, ventilators can cause further damage to the lungs. We are conducting a study comparing 2 methods to protect the lungs from further damage. One method uses standard mechanical ventilators and the other uses a new type of ventilator, called a high frequency oscillator. We propose to test whether this high frequency oscillation will reduce the relative risk of dying from ARDS. 72 patients from 12 intensive care units in Canada and Saudi Arabia will participate in this preliminary study to test the feasibility of our study methods. If feasible, we plan to move on and conduct a large multinational study to definitively answer this question.
