Filter by:This clinical trial is designed to compare the efficacy and safety of Clofazimine Inhalation Suspension versus placebo when added to Guideline-based therapy (GBT).
Prospective observational study designed to describe the clinical, laboratory, imaging, microbiological characteristics and treatment of specific infectious diseases, with the addition of a dedicated biobank.
Patients with documented onychomycosis of one or more toe nails will be treated with a daily application of a topical lacquer containing several essential oils.
The goal of this study is to conduct a prospective, double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial to investigate the safety and efficacy of mesenchymal stem cells treatment for Lung injury caused by major infectious diseases.
Patients admitted for polytrauma, severe neurological injury, post-operative monitoring or sepsis/septic shock present with significant inflammation, leading to immunoparalysis, which is responsible for infection, particularly prolonged infection. A study of their lymphocyte phenotype over time could help explore the phenomenon of immunoparalysis.
The incidence of fungal infection has increased dramatically over the past few decades.This is due to increase in survival rates of preterm neonates, advances in medical technology and drug therapy, broad spectrum antibiotics and parenteral nutrition . The resistance to antifungal agents has increased. This study will assess the efficacy of micafungin versus amphotericin B in neonates with positive fungal culture.
Resistant microorganisms are public health problems because they affect the treatment of infectious diseases and the survival of patients. Neurosurgical procedures with placement of intracranial pressure monitoring and external ventricular drainage devices are related to increased morbidity and mortality. In Brazil, there are several multicenter studies demonstrating the prevalence and types of resistant microorganisms, however, there is a lack of data related to central nervous system infections associated with invasive devices, which can have a direct impact on prevention and treatment policies.
The All-Ireland Infectious Diseases (AIID) Cohort is a multicentre, prospective, longitudinal observational cohort that enrols consecutive adult subjects attending participating institutions for infectious disease services. This is an ongoing prospective observational cohort of unlimited duration.
This study is designed to assess how effective letermovir is in preventing recurrence of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in adult kidney or kidney/pancreas transplant recipients who are UW Health patients. Participants will be in the study for about 6 months.
The microbiome acts as an antigen and can induce signaling through receptors like TLRs and NODs. Microbial metabolites can directly act on gut cells or reach other organs systemically. Studies show that the commensal, non-pathogenic microbiota plays an important role in regulating the immune system in various ways: - Promoting differentiation of Th17 cells and ILC3 signaling to regulate IL-17A production - Influencing iNKT cell generation early in life to prevent inflammatory activities - Facilitating CD4+ T cell differentiation and balancing Th1/Th2 responses - Inducing regulatory T cells (Tregs) that promote immune homeostasis - Tregs in Peyer's patches help maintain a microbiome that supports homeostasis The microbiome influences T cells, B cells and immune homeostasis. This has implications for transplantation, where modulating the microbiome could impact the graft's acceptance by affecting the recipient's immune cells that respond to the transplant. In summary, it highlights the microbiome's role in immune regulation and the potential for leveraging this interaction therapeutically, including in the context of transplantation.
