Filter by:For the patients with cervical persistent infection or integration of HPV, we has designed a program to perform cervical conization for certain patients to earlier and better diagnose and cure the diseases of HPV infection and related cervical intraepithelial neoplasia/cancer.
With the advent of direct acting antiviral (DAA) treatment in 2013, HCV elimination has become feasible. Still, achieving HCV elimination in resource-limited countries appears to be arduous as several challenges need to be addressed. In remote settings, absence of HCV VL testing to identify those who require DAA and to monitor DAA success is a first issue. As of today, HCV VL testing is still restricted to central facilities in major cities. Blood sampling using DBS is an appealing option to allow HCV VL monitoring in remote settings as this option is inexpensive, does not require a cold chain for storage and transportation of the samples and can be implemented rapidly. A second issue is DAA access that remains scarce due to logistical and financial limitations. However, more affordable generic DAA, some of them being WHO pre-qualified, are now available. Vietnam is amongst the 20 countries with the highest HCV burden with an estimate of 1.5 million chronic HCV-infected people (HCV prevalence: 1.1%). As observed in many other settings, HCV prevalence is higher among vulnerable populations such as HIV-infected individuals and people who inject drugs (PWID). Vietnam has the will to increase access to DAA in the whole country. However, in remote settings, only some clinical sites will be allowed to dispense DAA. Discussions with the MoH of Vietnam brought to our knowledge that not all clinical sites caring for HIV patients and providing ART will dispense DAA. Thus, some HIV-HCV co-infected patients will be followed in clinical sites where they will receive both antiretroviral therapy and DAA, while some other patients will continue to be followed for HIV in their usual clinical site but will be asked to visit another clinical site for HCV care and to receive DAA. We anticipate that the proportion of patients who will comply with the 12-week DAA will be lower in patients followed for HIV and HCV in two clinical sites than in those followed in a single clinical site.
this is a double-blind randomized placebo controlled clinical trial. 200 healthy children aged 12-48 months, attending day care or preschool for at least 5 days a week, regularly checked by the family pediatrician (FP) involved in the trial, were considered for the study and consecutively contacted during scheduled medical examinations at the FPs office. study plan is 3-month treatment period. The clinical evaluation will be carried out at enrollment, at 30, 60 and 90 days from the beginning of the treatment by the pediatrician. fecal and nasal mucus samples for immunological and microbiological analysis will be collected before the treatment and at 90 days (end of treatment).
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of Lactobacillus plantarum, Bacillus coagulans and Lactobacillus plantarum + Bacillus coagulans for eradication of Helicobacter Pylori, as well as the efficacy of Lactobacillus plantarum and Bacillus coagulans on side-effect caused by Helicobacter Pylori.
This research programme seeks to combine the resources of NHS primary care, with the leading spectroscopic work in low-magnetic fields of the Wilson Group (Nottingham Trent University) to demonstrate the potential for benchtop Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in human clinical pathology. This is an instrument assessment study for point of care viability which will also result in enhanced patient care (pending their consent) in blood screenings and metabolic health data.
The researchers collected untreated H. pylori positive patients from outpatient clinics. Subjects were randomized to 14 days of dual therapy with Tegoprazan or 14 days of quadruple therapy with bismuth for eradication. At 6 weeks after treatment, subjects underwent another 13C-urea breath test. The eradication rate, adverse reaction rate and patient compliance were calculated.
In this study, we will try to answer the following questions: 1. What are the salient features of the microbiota in chronic anal fissure? 2. Are these features associated with prognosis and response to therapy? 3. Does an anal fissure swab and anal fissure tissue give comparable bacteriological results?
Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTI) in the patients chronically catheterized are serious challenges clinically. The pathogens are often multidrug-resistant bacteria and such UTIs are actually biofilm infections. Currently standard antibiotic treatment against UTI in Denmark is sensitive antibiotic monotherapy. Theoretically antibiotic monotherapy is not a good treatment against biofilm infections. In the patients with impaired renal functions, both i.v. and p.o. antibiotic treatments function poor. Therefore, bladder lavage might help. In the study, the participants will be randomly divided into three groups (monotherapy, combination and bladder lavage). The investigators will evaluate the results and find a better treatment based on the clinical evidences, which might benefit the patients.
In China, there is no recommendation for Hepatitis D virus (HDV) screening, but the fact is estimated that one-third of the world's population of individuals with chronic Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection live in China while we do not know the prevalence of co-infection of HBV/HDV in China. So far, no nationwide study has been undertaken to evaluate the epidemiology of hepatitis D, on the other hand, reports of HDV infection rate in different regions of China are not consistent because of the different detection methods and detection objects. Here, we plan to test HDV-Ab/RNA for 5000 HBsAg reactive samples from 10 major tertiary hospital and to know the prevalence and disease burden of HDV in China.
Postpartum infection if a major cause of maternal morbidity and mortality and surgical site infections are some of the common complications following cesarean section. This study aims to determine the effect of Steri3X on the incidence of cesarean section SSI at Regional One Hospital.
