Filter by:The purpose of the study is to investigate additional clinical uses for the polymer, which is a FDA approved, 510k, medical device, but has not been approved for use on patients with pin track sites as a way to lower the infection rate and is investigational for this purpose. The approved uses include wound care and post-operative care. About 13 subjects will take part in this study.
This study evaluates the impact of rank of Beta lactam antibiotics on emergence of mutlidrug resistant bacteria colonization in intensive care It's retrospective case controle study. Cases are colonized patient by multidrug resistant bacteria hospitalized in intensive care during the fist hospitalization in intensive care. Temoin are patients with the same characteristics than case but no colonized by multidrug resistant bacteria.
Silver nanoparticles are one of most nanoparticles use nowadays in the research area because it has specific physical and chemical properties, in medical fields silver nanoparticles can involve in diagnostic and treatment processes. Silver nanoparticles have antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antiangiogenic, antioxidant, cosmetics, antitumor, anti-inflammatory, the drug carrier, imaging, water treatment, and biosensing effects. Silver nanoparticles prepared with reducing agent tri-sodium citrate then incorporated in a topical cream to obtain a significant inhibition of the bacterial strains, inhibition of growth of bacterial strains in the face or other parts in the bodies.
S. aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci are the most frequent bacteria responsible for PJI (prosthetic joint infection). The aim of this study is to describe the use of rifampicin.
Nonsurgical root canal retreatment may become essential when the initial endodontic treatment fails because of the persistent intracanal or extracanal infections.It has been stated that the one of the main cause of posttreatment disease is the persistent or reintroduced microorganism such as enterococcus faecalis. Supplementary disinfection techniques such as irrigation agitation methods can help elimination of bacteria from root canal systems. The aim of this in vivo study was to compare the effect of passive ultrasonic irrigation, manual dynamic activation and photodynamic therapy in reducing bacterial load in endodontic retreatment cases with periradicular lesion by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR)in a single visit root canal treatment.
Animal models and studies on small samples of obese adults have shown that gut microbial diversity and certain types of bacteria could predict the efficacy of the dietetic treatment to improve body mass index (BMI) and the components of metabolic syndrome (MetS). Gut microbiota could distinguish the obese with metabolic syndrome patient than that metabolically healthy. Dietetic therapy could induce changes in the microbiota that could lead to improvement of BMI and the components of the MetS. The aim of MICROBEkids is to test whether the motivational intervention a motivational intervention (OBEMAT2.0) (PI15/00970) is more effective than the conventional intervention to increase the gut microbial diversity and, as a consequence, to improve BMI and MetS components. The role of gut microbiota (through modulation of the short chain fatty acids) will be analyzed as cardiovascular risk factor and as predictor of treatment success. These objectives will be achieved through a clustered clinical trial design with an intervention group that will receive a motivational therapy compared to a control group that will receive a conventional intervention, both during 12 months. The study sample are 319 children (n= 167 in the intervention group) that were enrolled in the clinical trial OBEMAT2.0 (PI15/00970), have had a comprehensive clinical assessment before the intervention (ages 8 to 14) and after 12 months (+3) of therapy (ages 9 to 15) and furthermore have participated in a biological samples collection for the investigation on childhood obesity (COLOBEPED, reference C.0004585).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of open-label exposure of gNO in patients with NTM lung disease. Subjects will receive the study drug by inhaling through a nasal mask. Subjects will be treated for 3 weeks (5 days per week) and followed monthly for 3 months.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether contezolid acefosamil is as safe and effective as linezolid in the treatment of adult patients with acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections
To evaluate the efficacy of 4 weeks of 200 mg/24h of tedizolid for prosthetic join infections caused by tedizolid susceptible microorganisms treated with implant removal in one or two stages at 6 months of followup after stopping tedizolid treatment.
This study will analyze gene expression data (HostDx Sepsis test) from blood samples collected from participants with suspected infections. The primary endpoint of the study is to prospectively validate the HostDx Sepsis test for infections. As a secondary endpoint the correlation of participant prognosis and gene expression results in the HostDx Sepsis test will be validated. Participants presenting to the emergency departments of enrolling sites with a suspected infection and 1 vital signs OR suspected sepsis and 2 vital sign changes as stated in the protocol are meeting enrollment criteria
