Filter by:Although there are several licensed vaccines for SAR-CoV-2 (COVID-19) in Canada, none of them are approved for use in children under the age of 12, leaving five million children under 12 years unvaccinated. There is a need to find methods of mass rapid point of care testing in unvaccinated populations such as in schools that can be performed by a lay individual. This multi-center study will evaluate the clinical sensitivity of buccal swabs with the ID NOW COVID-19 device in comparison to standard of care COVID-19 testing at 15 pediatric emergency centres across Canada.
This sub-study is a prospective open-label, single-center study to demonstrate comparability of different manufacturing scales.
Almost half of the patients diagnosed with COVID-19 pneumonia develop ARDS and most of these patients are treated in the intensive care unit. In the management of COVID-19 ARDS, prone position is applied to improve physiological parameters by facilitating better distribution of tidal volume and drainage of secretions. It has been reported that awake patients in COVID clinics could not adapt their prone position due to anxiety . Jiang et al (2020) reported that awake patients may not tolerate the prone position and may experience anxiety due to posture habits and discomfort. It was determined that anxiety developed on the second day of hospitalization in the intensive care unit, state anxiety was associated with trait anxiety and pain, and anxiety was low in patients receiving mental health care/treatment . And also not to change position himself of patient in prone position due to care equipment etc it can cause loss of self-control and anxiety. Twelve-sixteen hour prone position recommendation for clinical improvement, positioning difficulties in patients who cannot position themselves may also trigger anxiety in awake patients It has been suggested that music therapy may be effective in reducing anxiety related to weaning from mechanical ventilation in COVID-19 patients. Music therapy intervention in ICU has been tested in sessions of at least 30 minutes, 1-30 days, with options such as western music, classical Chinese music, nature-based music. In the study of Chu and Zhang (2021), it was shown that the recovery time for tomography findings, the number of days of hospital stay and the rates of transfer to the intensive care unit were lower in the patient group who received holistic mode including traditional Chinese medicine, music therapy, and emotional support in COVID-19 patients. Studies evaluating the effectiveness of music therapy alone in the COVID-19 intensive care process could not be reached. It is thought that music therapy applied in the prone position in the COVID-19 intensive care unit will reduce the anxiety of the patients, adapt to the prone position and improve their clinical parameters.
The proposed phase 2a trial will determine whether MIB-626 treatment in adults with COVID-19 infection and stage 1 acute kidney injury is more efficacious than placebo in preventing worsening of kidney function, as assessed by longitudinal changes in serum creatinine concentration, and in attenuating the inflammatory response to the infection.
Quercetin is a flavonol, a subclass of flavonoid compounds. Of the flavonol molecules, quercetin is the most abundant in fruit and vegetables. Quercetin flavonol is characterized by 3 crucial properties: antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory. The combination of these 3 properties makes quercetin an excellent candidate for dealing with situations in which oxidative stress, inflammation and the immune system are involved. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an oral nutritional supplement based on quercetin in the prevention of Covid-19 infection.
As of December 2019, the global pandemic of COVID-19 has spread rapidly throughout the world, putting healthcare staff at the frontline. In this context, several factors leading to the appearance of psychiatric symptoms have emerged : work overload, fear of being infected or of infecting, exhaustion… (The Lancet, 2020) Indeed, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, insomnia and increased stress have been reported (Rossi et al., 2020). Furthermore, the increased anxiety and depression symptoms and stress associated with the COVID-19 pandemic may increase the risk of suicide in this already high-risk population. For example, suicidal ideation has been reported in up to 5% of healthcare workers in the United States (Young et al., 2021). It is therefore essential to evaluate the incidence of psychiatric disorders (e.g. PTSD, depression, suicide) and their associated risk factors among the hospital staff. To do so, Montpellier University Hospital healthcare staff was asked their mental state during the first wave of COVID-19.
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant morbidity and mortality across the world. Effective vaccines are now available but underutilized. In July 2021, Ascension Health implemented a mandate requiring all employees to obtain the COVID-19 vaccine by November 12th. In August 2021, the number of COVID-19 cases in the US increased rapidly, specifically in states with lower vaccination rates, many of which are served by Ascension Health facilities. In this study, we will evaluate a rapidly deployed health system initiative to use text messaging to nudge Ascension employees who have not yet been vaccinated to commit to a date and receive vaccination.
Multi-center multinational-controlled study in Israel, Brazil, Spain, and South-Africa. 240 adult patients who suffer from moderate COVID-19 infection. Safety will be assessed through collection and analysis of adverse events, blood and urine laboratory assessments and vital signs. After Screening visit, the study drug will be administrated twice a day morning and evening (every 12 hours) during (day 1 and day 2) The patients will be randomized in 1:1:1 ratio to study drug (CimetrA) in two dosages in addition to Standard of Care - Arm 1, 2 or (Placebo) in addition to Standard of Care- Arm 3.
The objective of this project is to assess the effects of a 2-month cardiopulmonary rehabilitation program on cardiorespiratory fitness in long COVID19 patients. Quality of life, functional capacity, functional respiratory capacity, inflammatory profile, coagulation markers, cognitive functions and brain O2 saturation will also be assessed before and after the exercise rehabilitation program.
This study aims to establish whether tocilizumab has any significant effect on procalcitonin levels on patients diagnosed with COVID-19 pneumonia requiring intensive care admission. The effects on other biochemical and clinical markers are also considered.
