Novel Face Mask Sampling for COVID-19: A Diagnostic and Public Health Tool

The investigators have previously demonstrated the utility of this method in other respiratory infections, such as tuberculosis. This project aims to investigate the utility of mask-based sampling is a tool for the diagnosis and quantification of COVID-19 in breath and the implications in a healthcare setting using three cohorts of …

Fiber Metabolism in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

This protocol is an extension of a recent study about whole-body SCFA production rates in COPD patients. The investigators hypothesize that a short-term fiber supplementation increases SCFA production in COPD patients.

Understanding Factors That Influence Electronic Cigarette Nicotine Delivery Through PET Imaging of Beta-2 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors

The goal of this proposal is to test the overall hypothesis that e-cigarettes (ECs) provide efficient nicotine delivery to the brain and arterial blood in non-EC-nave smokers and e-cigarette users and that EC liquid characteristics modulate this effect. This study will test the hypothesis through complementary methods that include [ …

Randomised Evaluation of COVID-19 Therapy

RECOVERY is a randomised trial investigating whether treatment with either Lopinavir-Ritonavir, Hydroxychloroquine, Corticosteroids, Azithromycin, Convalescent plasma or Tocilizumab prevents death in patients with COVID-19.

Cardiovascular Consequences After COVID-19

The occurrence of cardiovascular complications in SARS-CoV-2 infections appears to be more frequent than in other viral respiratory infections, probably due to a singular pathophysiology of this coronavirus. The lack of characterization of cardiovascular damages linked to Covid-19 could have medium and long-term consequences on the prognosis of patients.

Construct Validation of the BIOTICA Questionnaire

Based on barriers identified in a systematic literature search, a self-report questionnaire called "BIOTICA" has been developed by the research team to assess medication adherence barriers to oral AB. The purpose of the BIOTICA-questionnaire is to detect individual barriers that prevent the optimal intake of oral AB and thus, lead …

Investigation of the Respiratory Profile of Patients With Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (ASTHMA, COPD) (OPTIPULM)

Understanding and Improving Inhalation Therapy in Lung Disease The OPTIPULM study looks at how well inhaled medications reach the lungs of people living with asthma or COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). It aims to improve treatment by helping doctors choose the best inhaler for each patient based on how they …
