THERMotherapy Against
persistent bacterial LUNG infections
This study examines whether systematic, frequent sauna bathing can reduce/eradicate pathogenic, colonizing bacteria in the lungs, induce changes in the lung microbiota and improve prognosis in people with persistent, antibiotic-resistant lung infections.
All patients are recruited from Gentofte Hospital
COPD: Eosinophil-guided
Reduction of Inhaled COrticoSteroids
The aim of this study is to determine if a time-updated, eosinophil-guided inhaled corticosteroid treatment in patients with severe and very severe COPD can lead to non-inferior treatment responses to standard treatment with combined ICS, LAMA and LABA, and whether the side-effects of ICS can be reduced by this guided administration.
CopD EXacerbation and
Pulmonary hypertension Trial
The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of acute reversible pulmonary hypertension in COPD exacerbations in connection with admission, and whether the prognosis is negatively affected by this. Furthermore, whether the prognosis can be improved by drug treatment of this form of pulmonary hypertension.
