Filter by:The positive effects of fever are supported by a number of physiological, pathophysiological and clinical evidence. However, the negative attitude toward fever is widespread and have become persistent. According to sociological research, this is based on two main factors: comfort and fear. To change this negative attitude, awareness needs to be raised and the attitude toward fever among health care workers and the lay public needs to be reframed positively. Furthermore, the role of media users is essential, especially among the young generation. The current Hungarian recommendation/protocol is valid since 2011 (Professional protocol of the Ministry of National Resources: Caring for a child with fever, the recommendation of the College of Pediatric and Pediatric However, the practical implementation among health professionals and the laity public is low. Based on this protocol and current international guidelines (NICE) clinicians developed a protocol and register, where parents and caregivers can document the symptoms and runoff of fever as well as receive feedback on severity and appropriate management. The project aims to increase the evidence-based (EBM) guideline adherence, to reduce the unnecessary use of antipyretics and antibiotics, as well as the load on the current healthcare system. The documentation of the collected data allows the investigators to map and analyze (stats) socio-demographic behavior both on individual and societal level.
The objective is to compare the timeliness of anchor antibiotic administration in the emergency department (ED) after initial dosing with and without a Best Practice Alert in Epic (BPA) implemented to remind physicians to re-order the antibiotic. We hypothesize that post-BPA implementation, physicians will have a higher rate of ordering subsequent doses of antibiotics on-time and with the correct dosages compared to pre-BPA implementation.
To study whether a device has a nudging effect on the time spend on surgical rub.
Periprosthetic infection following shoulder arthroplasty is a devastating complication. Diagnosing and treating periprosthetic shoulder infection poses a significant challenge. At the forefront of this issue is Cutibacterium acnes because the current prophylactic regimens are insufficient to eradicate C acnes from the surgical field. It is believed that C acnes infections occur during surgery when the sebaceous glands in the skin are cut and exposed, leading to C acnes contaminating the surgeon's instruments and gloves and, thus, the surgical wound. The purpose of this study is to examine if making skin incisions using electrocautery will result in decreased C acnes contamination during shoulder arthroplasty. To this end, we propose a randomized clinical trial where patients undergoing shoulder arthroplasty are randomized into two groups - Electrocautery incision group (Electro) vs. Scalpel incision group (Scalpel) - and swab cultures are obtained from the skin incision and operating surgeon's gloves and forceps
A trial investigating the effect of a sinus rinse in people with CF
This Phase 1 study will assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of QPX7831, a beta-lactamase inhibitor, when administered orally in single ascending doses and in multiple ascending doses to heathy adult subjects.
Pleural Infection (PI) is a common, severe and complicated disease with considerable morbidity and mortality. (1,2) The knowledge of pleural infection microbiology remains incomplete. Sequencing of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene is a reliable methodology to discover the total microbiome of complex samples. The investigators designed a translational metagenomics study to study the bacteriology of pleural infection. The investigators will use pleural fluid specimens from a) the "Prospective validation of the RAPID clinical risk prediction score in adult patients with pleural infection: the PILOT study" (3) clinical trial and b) non-pleural infection patients. The pleural fluid specimens will be subjected to 16S rRNA next generation sequencing.
Cephalic duodenopancreatectomy is part of the curative treatment for pancreatic cancer of the head and peri-ampullary area. The mortality of the procedure is around 5%, with a morbidity ranging from 30 to 50%. Infectious complications account for 35% of overall morbidity. One of the risk factors for postoperative complications is the existence of preoperative retentional jaundice, due to tumoral obstruction of the main bile duct In these cases, it is proposed to perform preoperative bile duct drainage, preferably by endoscopic stenting (ERCP). However, several studies have shown these procedures to cause biliary contamination which could be responsible for an increase in post-operative morbidity such as infectious complications and increased length of stay in hospital.. Thus, the biliary microbial flora is more often multi-microbial and may contain multidrug-resistant nosocomial germs, The study carried out by Cortes et al., based on a control case study design, also showed that a correlation between biliary colonization and postoperative infectious complications existed in patients who benefited from a preoperative biliary drainage technique. In fact, the bacteria isolated during intraoperative bile sampling were similar, in 49% of cases, to those isolated during bacteriological samples collected postoperatively during infectious complications. The work carried out by Krüger and al has shown that the spectrum of bacteria found in the preoperative bile samples from patients who have undergone bile duct dilation is potentially not covered by standard antibiotic therapy. The aim of this observational prospective study is to investigate this correlation between biliary colonization and postoperative infectious complications, to evaluate the morbidity and postoperative mortality of cephalic duodenopancreatectomies performed at the CHRU of Nancy and to study a possible adaptation of perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis.
Bacterial infections in people who inject psychoactive substances
This study aims to collect and analyze clinical data of daptomycin to explore the efficacy and safety of daptomycin in the treatment of Gram-positive bacterial infections. And optimize the dosing regimen based on these data.
