This study tests whether giving a common cold virus (rhinovirus) to people with bronchiectasis and healthy volunteers can trigger a lung flare-up. It aims to understand how the immune system responds and what causes exacerbations, which could lead to better treatments.
This study looks at how the common cold virus affects people with COPD to find new treatments. If you have moderate COPD and your symptoms flare up when you catch a cold, you may be able to help.
This study looks at how other health conditions and the severity of a bronchiectasis flare-up affect recovery in the hospital. By joining, you help doctors understand why some people do better than others, which could improve care for future patients.
This study compares the lungs of people with airway disease to healthy volunteers to understand inflammation and lung function. You may be eligible if you have airway disease or are a healthy adult.
This study looks at how the COVID-19 era changed emergency department visits for young children with breathing problems, such as bronchiolitis or first-time viral wheeze. It may help doctors understand trends in these illnesses and plan better care during outbreaks.
This study looks at how well different treatments work for lung infections and flare-ups of chronic lung conditions. By providing a sputum sample or having a lung wash, your doctors can learn which therapy might work best for you.
