Asthma, Pulmonary Disease
Examining the Role of Vitamin D in Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are diseases that affect a person's ability to breathe normally. People who do not receive enough vitamin D may have a higher risk of developing asthma or COPD.
- Conditions
- Asthma, Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive
- Trial name
- NCT00851695
- Volunteers
- 2,266 people, healthy volunteers welcome
- Sponsor
- Brigham and Women's Hospital
Vitamin D3 Deficiency, Prematurity
Vitamin D and Health Outcomes in Preterm Born Population
Improved survival of very preterm newborn population during the last decades has challenged us neonatologists to study and improve nutritional practices including vitamin D (VitD) supplementation.
- Conditions
- Vitamin D3 Deficiency, Prematurity, Lung Diseases, Heart Rate Variability
- Trial name
- ViDePrePop (NCT04342078)
- Testing
- Vitamin D
- Where
- Finland

Hypoxia
Effect of Short-term Simulated Altitude Exposure on Cardiopulmonary Functional Capacity
To determine if exposure of older volunteers, age 50-70y, who are healthy, but not physically active, to 7 days of mild hypoxia (15% oxygen, equivalent 2440m) will improve cardiopulmonary functional capacity.
- Trial name
- NCT02523716
- Testing
- Hypoxia, Normoxia
- Volunteers
- 8 people, healthy volunteers welcome
- Sponsor
- University of Limerick
Candle Burning, Cooking
Acute Health Effects Due to Ultrafine Particles From Candles and Cooking
