Filter by:Most genital infections by human papillomaviruses (HPV) are asymptomatic or benign and clear within a few months or years. There infections are much less studies than chronic infections, even though they represent the main reservoir for the virus. The goal of this project is to decipher the kinetics of the virus and of the host immune response in acute HPV genital infections in your women. This will be performed by following women longitudinally and regularly in order to measure variations in virus load, immune cell count, cytokine concentration and antibody titers. The investigators will also investigate the interaction between these kinetics and host genetics and host vaginal microbiota
Both patient and staff safety are of major importance during the procedure of fibreoptic bronchoscopy. Patient safety depends partly on adequate disinfection of instruments and accessories used as well as careful monitoring during the procedure.
Unwarranted use of antibiotics for pediatric acute respiratory tract infections (ARTIs) and use of second-line, broad spectrum antibiotics for bacterial ARTIs has contributed to the rapid development of resistance in many strains of bacteria. Provider-parent communication during pediatric visits for ARTIs strongly influence antibiotic prescribing rates. The overall goal of this study is to develop and test a distance learning quality improvement (QI) program called Dialogue Around Respiratory Illness Treatment - DART. The DART program aims to improve provider communication practices and treatment decisions during pediatric ARTI visits, with the ultimate goal being to decrease rates of antibiotic prescribing for these illnesses in children.
The purpose of this prospective randomized study is to determine whether infusions of T-memory cells prevent infections in children with leukemia after allogeneic alpha, beta T-cell receptor (TcRab)/CD19-depleted hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).
ASPIRE-SSI is a prospective, observational, multicentre cohort study among adult surgical patients, which aims to determine the incidence of healthcare-associated S. aureus infections, particularly S. aureus surgical site infections (SSIs), across Europe and to assess the most important risk factors for this type of infection.
This is a multicenter prospective collection of leftover respiratory tract secretions, paired blood and NP swabs, and clinical circumstances from pediatric HCT patients, followed by next generation genomic sequencing, transcriptome analysis, protein biomarker measurement, and statistical modeling.
Multicenter study allowing to include the first sixty patients implanted with a custom-made corpectomy implant (UNiD 3D VBR): 30 patient implanted in cervical region and 30 patients implanted in thoracolumbar region. The main objective is to confirm feasibilty and safety of patient-specific implants for one or multi-level corpectomy and fusion. This study was approved in March 2016 allowing to include retrospectivley all patients since the first implantation in January 2015 and prospectively all patients after the approval.
Double-blind placebo-controlled randomized trial of Arabinoxylan Rice Bran Supplementation for 12 weeks with BRM4 in HIV-infected participants with inadequate immune reconstitution.
Transplant patients are at increased risk of colonization and infection with Multidrug Resistant Organisms (MDROs) due to medications that modify their immune systems, increased healthcare and antibiotic exposure, and surgical manipulation of mucosa. In this study, kidney transplant patients who have infections with resistant bacteria will be given a Fecal Microbiota Transplant (FMT), also known as a fecal transplant, after they receive antibiotic treatment. This study will see if FMT will eliminate the resistant bacteria so that the kidney transplant patients do not have to use last resort antibiotics. This Phase 1 pilot study is to obtain preliminary safety data for FMT in renal transplant patients to support the rationale for a subsequent clinical trial, not to establish efficacy or toxicity. This trial is designed to test the safety of FMT, identify clinical outcomes, assess feasibility, and refine the target population in participants with MDRO colonization and intestinal dysbiosis. Data from this study should provide directions for the design of future clinical trials.
The study consist of a retrospective analysis of the etiologies, investigations and outcomes of patients presenting between 2005 to 2010 with hemoptysis in a North-American Tertiary center.
