Filter by:The prevalence of common mental disorders is high in patients with chronic inflammatory physical diseases(e.g., autoimmune or infectious diseases). The traditional explanatory causation model in which physical symptoms and related disability drive mental health problems is now called into question, and evidence has accumulated supporting more complex interactions whereby psychiatric disorders can both result from and contribute to the progression of physical diseases. In the present project, the investigators will focus on comorbidity of depression and anxiety symptoms or syndromes with chronic inflammatory skin diseases (psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa and atopic dermatitis) or chronic infectious diseases (chronic HBV and HIV infection). The study is aimed to clarify the mechanisms underlying the high frequency of those comorbidities. It will overcome the main limitations of previous investigations and use innovative statistical tools to model complex interrelationships and causal links among the assessed variables. The identification of key variables driving the causal chain of determinants of poor global health and quality of life may impact treatment outcome and models of care.
A Phase 2a, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple ascending dose study in patients who are hospitalized with presumed pneumonia requiring supplemental oxygen therapy. The purpose of this study is to examine the safety, tolerability and efficacy of AV-001 Injection administration daily to the earlier of day 28 or EOT (day prior to hospital discharge). A total of 120 eligible patients (20 patients in each of cohort 1, 2 and 3 and 60 patients in cohort 4) will be recruited from up to 25 participating institutions/hospitals. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either AV-001 Injection or AV-001 placebo Injection, together with standard of care (SOC).
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide versus tenofovir disoproxil fumarate-based antiretroviral regimens in HIV-infected individuals with virological suppression.
This is a multi-center, randomized, controlled trial study to find whether use of chlorhexidine-alcohol or povidone-iodine for pre-vaginal delivery skin prep is superior to reduce postpartum infection in pregnant women with vaginal delivery. The primary outcome is the episiotomy site infection.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the incidence of post-COVID morbidity and characterize the complications profile in patients who participated in the APLICOV-PC study. APLICOV-PC study was a multicenter, randomized, proof-of-concept clinical trial to assess the safety profile of 3 different dose levels of plitidepsin (1,5 mg, 2,0 mg and 2,5 mg) administered three consecutive days, in adult patients with confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 who require hospital admission.
Helicobacter pylori affects the gut microbiome in ways that are only partially understood. In which patients H. pylori causes severe disease and in whom it merely colonizes, possibly even with beneficial effects, is not understood. The investigators are pursuing the hypothesis that changes in the gut microbiome that can be easily measured in stool have such predictive value.
This retrospective multi-center, multi-national cohort study is to validate the European Bone and Joint Infection Society (EBJIS) Definition of Prosthetic Joint Infection. Specifically, it is to analyze the outcome of the Infection Likely group and compare it to the Infection Unlikely group as well as other subgroups within previous validated definitions (Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS)/International Consensus on Musculoskeletal Infection (ICM) 2013 and ICM 2018).
This study explores how psychosocial factors (e.g., chronic stress, depression) may lead to liver disease progression such as liver cirrhosis or liver cancer among Korean American chronic hepatitis B infection patients. Gathering health information over time from Korean Americans with chronic hepatitis B infection may help doctors find better methods of treatment and on-going care.
Group A Streptococcus (GAS) is a bacteria which causes severe infections and leads to deadly diseases such as rheumatic heart disease which kills over 300,000 people a year globally, particularly in low-income countries. It is not know how GAS is spread between people, how often people carry GAS in their throat or on their skin without having symptoms, or what factors increase the chance of this occurring. It is important to understand these factors in order to know how to reduce GAS-related disease. This study will follow 444 people in The Gambia, over 12 months, taking samples from the throats and skin of people living in the same households, and asking questions about themselves and their behaviour, at regular intervals. By taking samples over time, the investigators hope to understand how common it is to carry GAS without having symptoms, how GAS is spread between people, and whether carrying GAS leads to more GAS infections in people or their household members. The study will use state-of-the-art techniques to look at the DNA of GAS bacteria that we find, and combine this with a mathematical model to investigate how different strains spread to people within and between households in the community.
The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate, among patients with non-complicated CR-BSIs due to S. aureus, that a single-dose of intravenous (IV) dalbavancin 1500 mg is non-inferior to standard documented antibiotic therapy for 14 days according to national guidelines at DAY 30 (Long follow up visit). As the secondary objectives, the study aims to evaluate according to treatment group: 1. Cure rate at DAY 14 and DAY 90 (EOS); 2. Mortality rate within 90 days of follow-up; 3. Time to negativation of blood cultures; 4. Patient's quality of life; 5. Hospitalization length of stay; 6. Cost-utility analyses; 7. Occurrence of any adverse event (AE and SAE), until Day 90 (EOS).
