Filter by:The present study finds opportunities and justifications, taking into consideration that the nature of professional practice in health needs scientific evidence resulting from systematic and systemic studies to strengthen the basis for the decisions made to have an impact on various levels, from the patient to health management itself. In addition, Cabo Verdean authorities may benefit from new evidence obtained by this study. It intends, in a growing number of health professionals exposed or infected with SARS-CoV-2, in the different health structures of the country, to contribute to substantiate a better perception of the problem and the required solutions. Therefore, assessing the potential risk factors for SARS-CoV-2 infection among healthcare workers will be essential to characterize virus transmission, preventing future infections in them and providing the associated healthcare. Due to the advances and important changes described, questions arise that guide this research and allow us to identify the problem.
This is a prospective, observational study. During the study, pregnant women will be followed post COVID-19 vaccination. Injection-site (local) and systemic reaction data will be assessed on vaccination day and during the 7 days following the second vaccination using either identical web-based or paper diaries, depending on study participant preference. Maternal serum samples will be collected for antibody titers relevant to COVID-19 at time points that include: prior to vaccination, ~29 days post second vaccination, and at delivery. At Duke University, maternal and infant cord blood will be collected at delivery and analyzed for the same antibody titers. At other clinical sites, these delivery samples will only be collected if feasible. Pregnant women will be followed through 90 days postpartum. with comprehensive obstetric and neonatal outcomes obtained from medical record review.
The study is to provide reliable estimates of the effect of study treatment on hospital length of stay through to 28 days after randomisation. The protocol describes an overarching trial design to provide reliable evidence on the efficacy of candidate therapies for children hospitalised with PIMS-TS. It is an adaptive pragmatic platform trial with an open-label randomisation. New trial arms can be added as evidence emerges that other candidate therapeutics should be evaluated.
Multicenter and observational study. The study will include patients admitted to hospitals in the Lleida health region with confirmed COVID-19. Follow-up will be carried out up to six months after hospital discharge. Through the analysis of clinical data and biological parameters, it is possible to identify in advance patients who will evolve in an unfavorable prognosis in relation to COVID-19, either because they present criteria of severe disease or because they present thrombotic complications associated with the disease. The final aim is to make anticipated and individualized therapeutic decisions that reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with the disease.
Introduction The present survey aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of the Italian scenario concerning general surgery during the first wave COVID-19 outbreak and evaluate the experiences, trends, attitudes, and possible educational outcomes that this emergency brought to light. Material and Methods A 31-item survey was designed and edited by the scientific board of the ACOI (Associazione Chirurghi Ospedalieri Italiani), addressing the impact of the pandemic outbreak on surgical staff and activity during the period from March 9 to May 30, 2020 (phase 1, lockdown period) and addressing the status of surgical activity, staff, and surgery resumption in the period from June 1 to September 30, 2020 (phase 3, restart). The survey was distributed via email and social media to Italian general surgeon working both in COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 hospitals. R
From the beginning of the pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2, most events with massive participants have been canceled due to being considered high-risk events for the SARS-CoV-2 transmission. It has been detected that asymptomatic people infected by SARS-CoV-2, are playing an important role in the contagious in these kinds of events. The economic losses arising from the closure of these activities, mainly those related to culture and musical performances are around 2.5 billion euros a Catalonia, and a considerable loss of jobs in this sector. Developing strategies of cribrate of infected people by SARS-CoV-2 asymptomatic or not diagnosticated and with a potential transmission of the virus is the key to perform cultural, sport, etc. massive events with all the security. The objective is to exclude infected people with a a high potential of transmission. It is needed to use versatile tests for this objective, so the test must have a high sensibility to detect infected people, the test has to be easy to manipulate without requiring a high technology of the laboratory hospitals, neither prolongated to obtain a result and that has a low cost. The rapid SARS-CoV-2 antigen screening tests are best suited for this purpose. On 27th March, a musical concert will be performed at Palau St Jordi (Barcelona) with 5000 attendees and with all the SARS-COV-2 safety measures by the "Secretary General of Health of the Generalitat de Catalunya" a (mandatory wearing a mask during the event, restricted outdoor areas of bar and smoking enhanced ventilation of the whole indoor area and avoiding queues.). This study wants to assess the incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection reported to the health system among the attendees of this commercial concert during the 14 days following the event, also it will be evaluated the clinical evolution of the possible infections during the concert.
The objective is to determine the efficacy, immunogenicity and safety of two different strengths (3 µg and 6 µg) of an inactivated COVID 19 Vaccine compared to placebo so that to demonstrate the efficacy and safety in prophylaxis of COVID-19. A 3rd application will be performed to approximately the half of the volunteers who were administered 3 μg/0.5 ml and who accept to be vaccinated for a 3rd time, on their month 4 visit.
Cellular Sciences Inc has submitted over 17 human clinicals (phase I, II, III including animal safety data) to the FDA for the reduction of respiratory inflammation and inflammatory cytokines including IL-6 the cause of the cytokine storm in COVID patients. These clinicals demonstrated a reduction of inflammation in all lung and sinus diseases, in patients with COPD, Pulmonary fibrosis, CF, asthma, sinusitis , the flu and nasal inflammation and congestion. Inhaled sodium pyruvate reduces inflammation, congestion and in our phase III clinical study with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis patients we demonstrated statistically and clinical significant increase in FEV-1, SaO2, FVC, FEV-1/FVC ratios (form 52% to 86%) and a decrease in hypoxemia, and a reduction in coughing. Inhaled sodium pyruvate alleviated the symptoms associated with COVID-19 patients in Pulmonary Fibrosis, and may be a solution to the lingering COVID-19 symptoms in patients that had the COVID-19 infection for example long haulers. In flu and COVID infected mice, nebulized sodium pyruvate decreased morbidity, weight loss, inflammatory cytokines and decreased viral titers compared to placebo controls. The study to be done at Missouri State University is titled ( Two week sub-chronic double-blinded placebo controlled trial designed to determine if sodium pyruvate nasal spray will reduce the symptoms, duration and replication of COVID-19 infection)
Background: COVID-19 has caused a high rate of deaths. The steps taken to control its spread have caused social isolation, changes in lifestyle, economic turmoil, and increased work-related stress. As a result, there has been a rise in mental and physical health problems. These burdens are particularly severe for people with a history of mental illness. Researchers want to learn more about the relationship between stressors related to COVID-19 and self-rated measures of anxiety and other variables. Objective: To better understand the impact of this stressful time on people s lives and families. Also, to learn the strategies people have been using to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic. Eligibility: Adults ages 18 and older. Design: This is an online study. Participants will fill out surveys online. The surveys will ask about their mood, anxiety, medical history, substance use, and COVID-19 stressors. Participants will complete an online task. For the task, they will stare at the center of a computer screen. When they see certain images, they will indicate the location of that image as quickly as possible. It will take about 1.5 hours for participants to complete the surveys and tasks. They may be contacted again if additional data is needed. Some participants may have taken part in other NIH studies. If so, their new data may be linked to their previously collected data. ...
SARS-CoV-2 impact on pregnant women is not well known yet. Some authors demonstrated that lung ultrasound can give similar results if compared to chest computed tomography and better results if compared to chest x-rays without radiations and limited risks for mother and fetus. The Lung Ultrasound Score (LUS) can be used to asses the entity and monitor the evolution of lung impairment. Some authors described an artifact, the "light beam", as a typical ultrasound sign in COVID-19 positive patients. With our study we hypothesize to understand the prevalence of this sign and other ultrasound signs in pregnant COVID-19 positive patients.
