Filter by:In December 2019, SARS-COV-2 was isolated from patients for the first time . It then rapidly turned into a pandemic affecting the whole world.While most Covid patients survive the disease with mild symptoms, some may develop severe organ failure and respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation. COVİD-19 pneumonia may progress into acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The most important reason for this has been shown in studies; is thought to be because a group of patients develop a cytokine storm-associated hyperinflammatory state characterized by features of macrophage activation syndrome (MAS). The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of the combined use of pulse steroid and intravenous immunoglobulin therapy in patients with severe COVID-19 with severe respiratory distress in intensive care unit.
The nature of the planned study: The topic is of an applied nature and is aimed at improving the results of comprehensive treatment of patients with COVID-19, the course of whose disease was complicated by thrombotic or hemorrhagic catastrophes. It is planned to analyze the results of treatment of this category of patients based on the work of several centers that provided surgical care to patients with COVID-19 during the pandemic (8 cities). As a result of the analysis, it is planned to develop algorithms for the prevention and treatment of thrombotic and hemorrhagic complications in patients with COVID-19. The proposed study will be multicenter, cohort, retrospective. The purpose of the study: Improvement of treatment results in COVID-19 patients with thrombotic or hemorrhagic complications Scientific novelty: For the first time, as a result of a multicenter study, it is expected to identify the most effective approach to the treatment and prevention of thrombotic and hemorrhagic complications in patients with COVID-19. For the first time, it is planned to develop and put into practice algorithms for the application of the most effective methods of treatment and prevention of thrombohemorrhagic complications of COVID-19.
Evaluation of the Efficacy and Safety of Molnupiravir Treatment in Mild/Moderate Covid-19 Patients. Turkey Cohort, Prospective, Observational, Comparative Study In the antiviral treatment of COVID-19, molnupiravir, an RdRp (RNA-dependent RNA polymerase) inhibitor, was the first agent shown to reduce death and hospitalization in a reliable/adequate phase-3 clinical trial. For this reason, molnupiravir has been approved for emergency use in many countries, including Turkey, as it is still an unmet need in the treatment of COVID-19. However, it is not yet known which factors related to the patient or the disease are important for this drug to be effective. In addition, since this is the first time it will be widely used, rare or long-term adverse effects have not been identified. Since molnupiravirin is known to exert antiviral activity by inducing mutations in the virus, there are some hypotheses that this effect may lead to the emergence of new and more dangerous variants.
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate an app to improve communication and information flows for persons suffering from Post-COVID-19 syndrome (PCS). The main questions it aims to answer are: - How can custom virtual characters (avatars) help to collect more data for the diagnosis of PCS? - Can conversations with virtual (mobile) characters (avatars) and the presentation of health data help to improve the diagnosis and understanding of PCS? - How should these virtual characters (avatars) be designed for people with PCS and healthcare professionals to be useful in the long term? This concerns appearance, dialog, personality and functions. Participants will be asked to use and test the app and take part in two interviews at the beginning and end of the study.
The lung is the organ most affected by COVID-19. There are patients who successfully overcome the acute COVID-19 infection and their lungs return to a normal state. However, a significant number present dyspnea and fatigue as sequelae without having a pulmonary origin, but with a significant impact on functionality. In our published studies in relation to fatigue in patients with symptoms attributed to persistent COVID, the investigators have shown that there is muscle involvement, observing a decrease in mechanical efficiency. This muscle involvement causes stimulation of ventilation through the ergoreceptors, causing ineffective ventilation. This affectation can be explained by the findings obtained in the muscle biopsies that the investigators have performed, where the investigators observed a splitting of the basement membrane of the capillaries causing an alteration in the diffusion of metabolic substrates and oxygen. The main objective of our project is to be able to observe the response in ventilatory efficiency in patients with symptoms of post-covid fatigue after ingesting beet juice.
This cross-over study will assess a no added sugar diet, a restricted daily eating window, and one or two full day water fasts to determine if there is an effect on self-reported symptoms of Long Covid (PASC).
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the prevalence of sarcopenia in older people with post-COVID-19 living in Ratchatewi district, Bangkok and to test the effectiveness of health promotion program for older people with post-COVID-19 Sarcopenia. The main questions it aim to answer are: • How many is the prevalence of sarcopenia in older people with post-COVID-19 living in Ratchatewi district, Bangkok? • Can the health promotion program improve muscle mass and muscle strength in older people with post-COVID-19 Sarcopenia ? Participants will be asked eating protein supplement one scoop /day and exercising 2 times/week for 3 months.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, admission patterns for infections other than Covid-19 have changed dramatically among children worldwide. Particularly admissions due to respiratory infections and later invasive streptococcal infections have been well documented. However, few studies have compared rates af gastro-intestinal infections during the pandemic with the previous years. This study aims to compare the number and characteristics of children hospitalized with gastrointestinal infections before the COVID-19 pandemic, to the first strict lockdown in 2020 and to the second, less strict lockdown in 2021. A retrospective review of medical records will be performed, of patients aged 1 month to 5 years admitted with gastroenteritis at the pediatric department at Slagelse Hospital in Denmark over a period from 2017 to 2021.
The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 infection, COVID, continues to rage throughout the world with 115,000,000 confirmed cases and over 2,500,000 deaths (as of Mar 3, 2021). This translates to millions of people surviving COVID19 infection. While the lungs are ground zero, COVID tears through organ systems from brain to blood vessels. We are now beginning to see people recover but complain of ongoing problems, including lingering cognitive problems, depression, and anxiety. We have brought together 2 laboratories with complementary techniques including psychological testing and neuroimaging methods togethers with markers in the blood that may signal damage in the brain. A close look at these problems is timely and imperative if we are to understand the pathophysiology of 'COVID brain' and prepare for downstream problems.
This is a pilot non-randomized-controlled trial to evaluate the impact of "Tomando control de su salud", an evidenced-based intervention for chronic disease self-management in the quality of life of patients living with Long-COVID in Puerto Rico.
