Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effectiveness of intranasal-administered Chlorpheniramine Maleate in COVID-19-positive participants as part of early treatment for COVID-19. The main questions it aims to answer are: - To assess the efficacy of nasal spray with Chlorpheniramine (0.4%) for improving clinical recovery in COVID-19 patients. - To assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of nasal spray with Chlorpheniramine (0.4%) as an adjunct to the standard of care in reducing hospitalizations and improving clinical recovery in adult patients with mild COVID-19.
The purpose of the study is tolearn about the safety and effects of a combined vaccine for RSV and COVID-19 when given with a seasonal flu vaccine or when given alone. A combined vaccine will help to reduce the number of vaccinations given when trying to prevent respiratory infections. This study is seeking participants who: - are 65 years of age or older. - are healthy or have well-controlled chronic conditions. - in the past have received at least 3 US-authorized mRNA COVID 19 vaccines, with the most recent vaccine being an updated booster vaccine given at least more than or equal to 150 days before Visit A101 (Day 1). - have not had a flu shot in the last 120 days. - agree to be present for all study visits, procedures, and blood draws. Participants will be involved in this study for 6 months. During this time, participants will have 2 study visits at the study clinic and a 6-month telephone contact.
On January 30, 2020, the WHO declared COVID-19 a global health emergency. Children were affected with less severe forms. Niger had implemented measures in a context where children are a source of contamination. The objective was to determine the factors associated with COVID-19 in children in Niger from February to August 2020 through an analysis of the national database.
Excessive respiratory effort may cause self-inflicted lung injury (SILI) and inspiratory muscle injuries , stimulate desynchronization between the patient and ventilator , and worsen the perfusion of extrapulmonary organs . Appropriate respiratory drive and effort should be maintained during the treatment of patients with respiratory failure . In contrast, respiratory drive and effort are commonly increased in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia , and this phenomenon may persist in critically ill patients with COVID-19, even after receiving venovenous ECMO (vv-ECMO) support, owing to low pulmonary compliance and a high systemic inflammatory state . To reduce respiratory effort and drive, ICU physicians often administer high doses of sedative drugs, analgesics, and muscle relaxants. The prolonged use of high doses of these drugs can cause loss of the spontaneous cough reflex, which in turn impairs sputum drainage and eventually worsens pulmonary consolidation and lung infections. As the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in arterial blood (PaCO2) could affect the respiratory drive from the respiratory center (1), it has been shown that altering different levels of extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal in patients undergoing ECMO recovering from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) could alter respiratory drive. We hope to find a more appropriate target for maintaining PaCO2 to control respiratory effort in patients with COVID-19 undergoing ECMO.
To explore whether cornea structure, and optical quality are affected by the covid-19 infection.
During the pandemic of COVID-19, studies reporting a high incidence of barotrauma, both pneumothorax but also pneumomediastinum, in patients with critical COVID-19. If this is complications of the respiratory support used to treat patients hypoxemia or if it is a direct consequence of COVID-19 damaging the lung tissue is not known. The aim of this study is to investigate the incidence and type barotrauma, if there is an association between barotrauma and level of respiratory support used in the intensive care unit, and if barotrauma is associated with worse outcome compared to patients without barotrauma.
This is an open-label Phase 3 study evaluating the immunogenicity and safety of Novavax vaccine(s) with Matrix-M™ adjuvant (ancestral strain NVX-CoV2373 and an alternative strain and/or multivalent Novavax vaccine) as booster doses following a series of primary and booster doses of authorized/approved mRNA vaccines followed by a single booster dose of NVX-CoV2373 in the Novavax 2019nCoV-307 study (NCT05463068).
The prospective study was conducted at a single location within the COVID-19 department of a city hospital. The study included COVID-19 patients who were hospitalized in the COVID-19 service and consulted for physiotherapy, were between the ages of 18 and 65, and had the capacity and inclination to participate in one daily physiotherapy session five days per week.
A total of 30 hospitalized patients with COVID-19 over 60 years old were enrolled in this study and were divided into the experimental group (n=15) and the control group (n=15) at a ratio of 1:1. Both groups were treated according to the 2022 Shanghai guidelines for Diagnosis and Treatment of COVID-19 infection and the hierarchical diagnosis and treatment process. The experimental group was treated with fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) capsules for 1 week, and the control group was treated with empty capsules. Patients in both groups were followed up for 1 month after discharge. To observe the effect of combined FMT capsule treatment on the regulation of inflammatory factors in peripheral blood and the remodeling of intestinal flora, and to verify its safety.
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of specialized discharge education on the daily life activities and quality of life of geriatric patients hospitalized in COVID-19 wards. The motivation behind this study stems from the vulnerability of elderly patients during the COVID-19 pandemic and the necessity of tailored education to support their daily life activities and enhance their quality of life after discharge. The primary objective of this article is to determine the specific type of specialized discharge education that geriatric patients in COVID-19 wards require to improve their ability to sustain daily life activities and enhance their quality of life. The central idea of this study is that providing specialized discharge education to geriatric patients in COVID-19 wards can result in improvements in their daily life activities and quality of life. The main findings of the study demonstrate a significant enhancement in daily life activities and quality of life among patients who received specialized discharge education. These individuals exhibited increased independence in mobility, improved performance in daily life activities, and reported an overall improvement in their quality of life. These findings underscore the significance of specialized discharge education for geriatric patients hospitalized in COVID-19 wards and highlight its positive impact on their health outcomes and quality of life.
