Filter by:This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to determine the optimal dose and safety of oral alanyl-glutamine between 4, 24, and 44 g doses administered for 10 days with standard therapy among first time incident cases of uncomplicated C. difficile infection (CDI) in hospitalized, or outpatient, persons aged 18 or older. Our hypothesis is that alanyl-glutamine supplementation will decrease recurrence and mortality from CDI and these outcomes will be associated with improvement of inflammatory markers and restoration of intestinal microbiota function.
It is not known in the literature how much sonication affects the patient's treatment. Another important issue is that the place of this method in diagnosis is not clear. The aim of this study is to contribute to the literature on this issue and to determine the sensitivity and specificity of sonication prospectively using the new definition and effect of sonication on the treatment strategy in terms of infection in patients with PJI.
The epidemic due to the Sars-CoV2 virus is spreading in France, without knowning precisely since when the virus has actually circulated on the territory. Data from China but also systematic samples taken from the passengers of the Diamond Princess boat also report almost 50% of asymptomatic forms of Covid-19. The medical and paramedical staff of the front-line services for the care of patients infected with Covid-19 are in fact potentially exposed to the risk of occupational contamination due to the large number of patients treated, including in the pre-epidemic phase. Therefore, and despite the application of standard protective measures, it is possible that a certain number of these personnel already have or will contract Covid-19 disease, including in its asymptomatic form.
The consortium will develop a new in vitro diagnostic (IVD) test to screen donated blood for bloodborne infectious pathogens, saving blood banks time and costs required for analysis of mandatory pathogens. The IVD test is a multiplex immunoassay that simultaneously screens for six bloodborne infectious diseases per blood sample. In this project, a mix of diagnostic protein markers will be developed and validated to lowdown an IVD test ready for commercial scale-up and CE-IVD certification.
Randomized controlled trial to determine clinical and microbiome difference between fractional CO2 Laser and vaginal estrogen in treating patients with recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI).
We aim to conduct a pilot trial assessing oral versus intravenous therapy for pleural space infections.
This is a Phase IIb study consisting of two cohorts to evaluate efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of DAS181 in IFV infection. An approximate total of 280 subjects will be enrolled into this study.
Gut bacterial community diversity and composition, immune recovery and activation in peripheral plasma/mucosa, plasma levels of gut damage, microbial translocation and inflammation at baseline and after 6 months of receiving intervention will be analyzed.
The efficacy and safety of Biktarvy in Treatment-Naïve Late Presenters with HIV-1 Infection
Gastric cancer is the third most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide (1). Upper endoscopy is necessary to detect neoplastic macroscopic features at an early stage, but subtle abnormalities in the gastric mucosa are often missed or misdiagnosed (1). Helicobacter pylori (Hp) is involved in the pathogenesis of gastric diseases, such as, peptic ulcers, gastric lymphoma, and gastric cancer. Therefore, the necessity to recognize malignant gastric lesions at an early stage is imperative.
