There are about 173942 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in United States. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety and efficacy of Sesderma LACTYFERRIN™ Forte and Sesderma ZINC Defense™ in non-hospitalized patients with COVID-19. The main question is: Is there a reduction in the signs and symptoms of COVID-19 from baseline to end of treatment? Participants will complete the following activities. - Screening and first day of treatment - Treatment that will be administered for up to 10 days, two treatment evaluation visits will be completed - After treatment completion. Two visits are scheduled, one 28 days after the last dose and the other 60 days after the last dose. Researchers will compare Treatment Group (Sesderma LACTYFERRIN™ Forte and Sesderma ZINC Defense™ + Standard of care (SOC)) with the Control group (Placebo +SOC) to see if there is Reduction in the signs and symptoms of COVID-19 at the end of treatment
This study will look to implement a plan for enhanced transitional care for patients at high risk of unplanned hospital readmission in hopes of reducing their risk for readmission in the first 30 days post discharge from an inpatient encounter. Hospital readmissions are an undesirable occurrence that can increase cost for hospitals, and can cause further negative outcomes for patients. Identifying factors that increase a patient's chances of being readmitted to the hospital, as well as developing an intervention to effectively reduce this risk, has historically been challenging. Our new method uses a combination of common features such as diagnosis and length of hospital stay, with a novel artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm, the RecuR Score model developed by the University of Maryland Medical System, that identifies patients at the highest risk of having an unplanned hospital readmission. Participants identified as higher risk will then be enrolled into our pilot where they will be randomized to receive either the standard of care treatment or an enhanced protocol that includes additional disease education, coordination of home health services, and a focus on their readmission during existing multidisciplinary team huddles. The main goal of this study is to reduce unplanned hospital readmission within 30 days of initial discharge, in those most at risk of being readmitted, using the aforementioned novel methods for identifying these participants and a transitional care intervention. This success of this goal will be analyzed across different readmission risk levels in the study population. Secondary goals of this study include reducing unplanned hospital readmission within 90 days, reducing 30-day post-discharge mortality, and reducing 30- and 90-day emergency department (ED) usage after an initial hospitalization.
The primary objective of the prospective study is to compare the incidence, duration, and severity of oxygen desaturation in high-risk patients randomized to nasal mask with nasal positive airway pressure (PAP) or standard care (nasal cannula) receiving propofol sedation during colonoscopy in an ambulatory surgical center (ASC). Patients will be randomized in groups of ten to one of two groups using a random number table. Group A: standard care with a nasal cannula. Group B: SuperNO2VA™EtCO2. Following the procedure subjects will be asked to complete satisfaction surveys before leaving the ASC and 48 +/- hours following their procedure. Researchers will compare levels of satisfaction and levels of oxygen saturation.
The purpose of this external clinical study is to demonstrate the safety and performance of the Veraflo™ Cleanse Choice Complete™ Dressing Kit which will be used in conjunction with the V.A.C.® Ulta™ Therapy Unit, utilizing V.A.C. Veraflo™ Therapy instillation functions.
The pilot study will test the feasibility of a 16-week sleep extension intervention, in adults with obesity, to increase nighttime sleep duration, as well as reduce daytime sleepiness and sleep-related disturbance. The study will also examine changes in weight, eating behaviors, wellbeing, and blood pressure across the 16-week intervention .
This is a Phase 2, multicenter, open-label, 2-cohort (Locoregionally Advanced Cohort or Recurrent/Metastatic Cohort) study evaluating RP3 in combination with concurrent chemoradiation therapy (CCRT) followed by nivolumab (for the LA Cohort) or combined with chemotherapy and nivolumab (for the R/M Cohort) in patients with advanced, inoperable squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck (SCCHN), including of the oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx, larynx, or unknown primary.
Participants (random) will have a conversation with each other over zoom initially with their cameras off and then rate each other on attractiveness, first impressions, and self-esteem. Then both participants will turn their cameras back on and have another conversion and then again rate each other. The ratings are confidential and will not be shared with the other person. Two months later the participants will come to the study clinic office and have an in-person conversation with someone new and rate each other.
The study team hypothesizes that incidentally discovered pulmonary nodules are often under captured and/or not surveilled in accordance with published guidelines in the Montefiore Health System, which cares for a large proportion of Black and Hispanic patients. Incidental Pulmonary Nodules (IPNs) require a pragmatic approach to follow-up and management, especially in racially disparate populations who have greater potential for lung cancer morbidity and mortality.
Hundreds of thousands of adolescents experience protracted recoveries from concussion, which can affect all aspects of their lives and create family and societal burden. Research suggests that interventions to improve their sleep quantity and/or quality could improve recovery from concussion, but current treatment models are costly and onerous for families, fit poorly with integrated care models, and leave youth and their families to suffer months of protracted burden. This study will evaluate the efficacy of a promising brief behavioral sleep intervention, which could prove to be a powerful new tool to head off protracted symptom burden.
The investigators will conduct a retrospective cohort study of patients who have undergone i.v. lidocaine infusions in the previous 2 years for suspected neuropathic pain of heterogeneous origin. The investigators hypothesize that the analgesic response to intravenous (i.v.) lidocaine will be bimodal with clear responders and clear non-responders. The investigators also hypothesize that more refractory patients, who have failed previous multimodal analgesic therapy, will be less likely to respond to i.v. lidocaine. The investigators goals are to report what percentage of patients will achieve relief, the degree of relief that can be expected, and identify the type of patients who will most likely to benefit from systemic lidocaine. The investigators secondary objective is to report the correlation between infusion rates and patterns of infusion rate adjustments with regard to efficacy and adverse effects.
