Study of bronchiectasis severity and flare-up risk
This study helps doctors understand how severe your bronchiectasis is and predict when you might have flare-ups. You'll have routine tests over 12 months to help researchers learn more about this condition and improve future care.
Asyut, Asyut EgyptAges 18 years+ - NCT07599969Recruiting
Understanding bronchiectasis subtypes for better treatment
This study helps doctors identify different types of bronchiectasis (a lung disease where airways are permanently widened and damaged) to better understand how the disease develops and progresses. By following patients over time and collecting medical information, researchers hope to create a system that predicts which patients will worsen and need different treatments.
Asyut, Assiut EgyptAges 18 years+ - NCT07601711Recruiting
Sulbactam-Durlobactam for Drug-Resistant Bacterial Infections
This study tracks hospitalized patients receiving a specific antibiotic combination (sulbactam-durlobactam) to treat a serious, hard-to-treat bacterial infection called CRAB. Researchers want to understand how well this treatment works in real-world hospital settings.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT07601724Recruiting
How fluid buildup affects sleep apnea in heart failure
This study looks at how excess fluid in the body affects sleep apnea (pauses in breathing during sleep) in people hospitalized with heart failure. Researchers will measure sleep apnea before and after treatment to reduce the fluid, which may help doctors better manage both conditions together.
JerusalemAges 18 years+ - NCT07603583Recruiting
Heart Rate Variability to Detect Sleep Apnea in Hypertension
This study tests whether a simple heart-rate measurement can help detect obstructive sleep apnea (a breathing condition during sleep) in people with high blood pressure. The goal is to find an easier way to screen for sleep apnea, which often goes undiagnosed but can worsen heart health.
