Filter by:The impact of continuous veno-venous haemofiltration (CVVH) on sepsis-induced multiple organ failure severity is controversial. We thus sought to assess the effect of early application of haemofiltration on the degree of organ dysfunction and plasma cytokine levels in patients with severe sepsis or septic shock.
The purposes of the study are: 1. To compare the local efficacy (skin colonization) of 2 commercialized antiseptics used for the disinfection of the dressing application for an epicutaneocavous catheter (EPI). 2. To evaluate whether the bacteria responsible for nosocomial infection is comparable to the flora diagnosed at the EPI site.
The purpose of this study was to look at the safety and effectiveness of a once-daily dose of tigecycline compared to ertapenem for the treatment of diabetic foot infections. The co-primary efficacy endpoints were not met.
Primary objective:To study the absolute bioavailability, distribution and elimination parameters of flucloxacillin from two oral formulations of flucloxacillin in healthy male and/or female subjects.
To compare the ocular tolerance, safety and ocular pharmacokinetics of 3 concentrations (0.5% - 1.0% - 1.5%) and the vehicle of T1225.
To evaluate the ocular tolerance of T1225 1% and 1.5% eye drops versus vehicle after one instillation twice-daily (morning and evening), in one eye, during 3 days (from Day 0 to Day 2). To assess azithromycin tear, conjunctiva and plasmatic concentrations, after a 3-day treatment period
To compare the ocular tolerance, the safety and the ocular pharmacokinetics of 3 concentrations (0.5% - 1.0% - 1.5%) and the vehicle of T1225 after one drop instillation
To evaluate azithromycin tear concentrations after instillation of one drop of one of the three T1225 concentrations (0.5%, 1% and 1.5%) and to evaluate the ocular safety.
To evaluate azithromycin ocular conjunctiva concentrations 7 and 14 days after treatment initiation. To assess ocular and systemic tolerance/safety and azithromycin tear concentrations on Day 7
This study will examine the phototoxicity, a reaction to light that is like exaggerated sunburn, which occurs in people who take medications such as voriconazole, a medication used to fight fungus. Sunscreens might protect the skin from the reaction. Although phototoxicity from voriconazole is not completely understood, it may be related to how that medication is metabolized in the liver by enzymes called cytochrome P450 enzymes-and mainly by one known as 2C19. A way to evaluate phototoxicity is through microarrays, which measure how much each gene is expressed in cells from tissues such as skin. Patients ages 8 and older who are scheduled to begin taking or who currently take voriconazole may be eligible for this study. Also, patients ages 18 to 45 in good health who have skin tone known as Type 2, which usually burns and tans only slightly following sun exposure, may be eligible. All patients will visit the Dermatology Clinic. They will complete two questionnaires, on medical history and medications, as well as the skin response to sunlight, and donate about 3 teaspoons of blood. Patients who are scheduled to take voriconazole will visit the clinic four times, that is, two visits 2 consecutive days before beginning the medication and two visits on 2 consecutive days after taking it for at least 7 days. Each visit will take 1 to 2 hours. Patients about to take voriconazole will have a blood test and undergo a physical exam of the skin test site, on the buttocks. Researchers will take photographs of the specific site and do tests to measure skin reaction to ultraviolet (UV) light. UV light will be shined on 15 small areas of the skin, each 1 x 1 centimeters. After 24 hours, any redness that occurs on the skin will be checked. Afterward, patients will begin taking voriconazole according to directions by the researchers. At 10 or more days later, patients will visit the clinic. Sunscreen will be applied and 1 hour later after administration of voriconazole, a blood sample will be drawn to check the level of medication. Then UV light will be shined on 23 areas of skin 1 x 1 centimeters. More photographs will be taken of test sites to record changes in skin redness. On the next day, the skin response will be evaluated. Participants in the control group will be asked to avoid UV radiation by wearing hats and clothing, and using sunscreen. They will be given the doxycycline, an antibiotic, and undergo procedures with UV light shined on small areas of the skin, on the buttocks. Control participants will have 7 study days, with visits lasting from 1 to 3 hours and probably not exceeding 8 hours. They will have two shave biopsies on Study Day 2 and on Study Day 7 to determine how the skin has responded to UV light exposures. ...
