Filter by:Rationale Recently, a CDC advisory Committee on Immunization Practices identified a likely association between the 2 COVID-19 mRNA vaccines from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna and cases of myocarditis and pericarditis. For the cardiovascular system, 4863 adverse events (AEs) were reported from the Pfizer vaccine. Common findings observed with vaccines under study were tachycardia(16.41%), flushing (12.17%), hypertension (5.82%), hypotension (3.6%), and increased heart rate (9.03%). In this study we characterized, classified, evaluate the dynamic of cardiac function and ECG abnormality after the Pfizer vaccine injection. This is a prospective cohort study. All participants aged 13-18 years old and above who visited the second dose Pfizer covid-19 vaccine injection to determine cardiac manifestation. Methods for analyzing research data The data will be collected from students enrollment at Kong thabbok upatham changkol kho so tho bo school and Wachirathamsatit school. The participant's history, physical exam, and laboratory data will be reviewed and data will be extracted based on the case record form (CRF). All data will be stored securely and analyzed using the SPSS® Statistics Version 23 developed by IBM®. Data entry will be carried out using coding and verification. Quantitative data will be expressed as mean with standard deviation (SD) or median (IQR) and qualitative data will be presented as a number of observations with percentage (%). Descriptive statistics will be used to summarize the baseline values and demographic data. All p-values will be derived using the 2-tailed testing, and statistical significance will be set at 0.05 probability. All the categorical variables will be analyzed using the chi-square (x2) or Fisher's exact test whichever is appropriate. Normality of the distribution will be tested for the continuous variable using the Kolmogorov- Smirnov test. All the variables with normal distributions will be compared using the independent t-test and will be reported as mean ± standard deviation (SD). The variables that do not pass the normality test will be compared by means of the Mann-Whitney U test and will be reported as the median and interquartile range (IQR).
The purpose of the study is to recognize the diagnostic and/or prognostic value of IMA, as It reflects the degree of ischemia regardless of the affected organ. Our sample, which will be taken from the Pulmonology/Covid-19 Department and the Outpatient Clinic of the Pulmonology Department of University Hospital of Larissa, will be divided into two groups. The first group will be the study group, which will include patients with confirmed COVID-19 infection, while the second group will be the control group, which will include healthy volunteers. From the study population will be collected demographics, medical history, medication, symptoms, vital points, arterial blood gases, viral load from RT-PCR for SARS-COV2 and findings from imaging and laboratory assessment. On a daily basis, during their treatment, their vital points, their laboratory tests and the presence of possible complications will be recorded. Expected results are: 1) Comparison of IMA levels between COVID-19 patients and healthy volunteers, 2) The IMA contribution, during their admission to the hospital, to the prediction of the risk of deterioration and severe respiratory failure, 3) The increase of the predictive accuracy of SuPAR as a risk stratification biomarker, after its combination with IMA, 4) The estimation of IMA on the 10th day of illness in patients with severe respiratory failure, 5) The possibility of predicting with greater accuracy the probability of admission to the ICU, by measuring the IMA on the 10th day of illness compared to the IMA of admission.
This is an open-label phase 1 clinical trial of allogeneic umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) for hospitalized individuals with COVID-19 or other viral pneumonias. Hospitalized individuals who are within 7 days of the onset of a viral pneumonia will be given 2 doses of MSCs at days 1 and 3 after consent. The safety of intravenous infusion will be tested and course of the oxygen response to treatment over 90 days will be evaluated.
This is an open-label, single-arm clinical trial designed to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of a booster dose of an adjuvanted recombinant SARS-CoV-2 spike protein subunit vaccine (SpikoGen) produced by CinnaGen Co. in kidney transplant recipients after two doses of Sinopharm's inactivated virus vaccine. A total of 100 adult individuals receive a single dose of the SpikoGen COVID-19 vaccine at 1 to 3 months after the second dose of the Sinopharm COVID-19 vaccine. The injection is given in the deltoid muscle of the non-dominant arm. For immunogenicity assessments, blood samples will be collected one month after the booster injection. For safety assessments, all participants will be followed up for one month. Study hypotheses include: 1. A booster dose of the SpikoGen COVID-19 vaccine induces strong immunogenicity against SARS-CoV-2 in adult kidney transplant recipients who were fully vaccinated with Sinopharm COVID-19 vaccine. 2. A booster dose of the SpikoGen COVID-19 vaccine is safe and tolerable in adult kidney transplant recipients who were fully vaccinated with Sinopharm COVID-19 vaccine.
The Fluo-Pred-Iver clinical trial will test the efficacy of a combined regimen of Fluoxetine, Prednisolone and Ivermectin (Fluo-Pred-Iver), as treatment for ambulatory patients with mild COVID-19. The overarching idea of the work proposed herein is to investigate the use of Fluo-Pred-Iver to treat COVID-19, conducting a randomized controlled clinical trial to evaluate a new indication for these widely available drugs. It is estimated to include 954 participants.
The objective of this observational case-crossover study is to evaluate the effectiveness, safety and immunogenicity of the second booster dose in the elderly. There are an estimated 490,000 eligible individuals aged 60 and over statewide for the effectiveness study. Two hundred and forty participants will be invited to participate in biological sample for the immunogenicity study. This sub-sample will be compared with 240 biorepository samples from a cohort of immunosuppressed patients with autoimmune diseases who received the fourth dose, in a study conducted by the same team of researchers. The main effectiveness outcome will be the number of hospitalizations; and secondary outcomes will be deaths, number of reported cases, number of cases confirmed by RT-PCR. The safety assessment will be carried out by monitoring adverse events. The cellular and humoral immune response will be evaluated by viral neutralization assay (search for neutralizing antibodies), serological assay by chemiluminescence, determination of specific IgM and IgG profile, dosage of soluble systemic factors (chemokines, cytokines and growth factors), stimulation in vitro antigen-specific peripheral blood mononuclear cells and investigation of memory T and B lymphocytes and intracytoplasmic cytokines. The study hypothesis is that elderly people who received the second booster dose have a lower incidence rate of hospitalizations and death than those who received the primary regimen (two doses or one of Janssen) or a booster dose, and that the immune response humoral and cellular function of the elderly is similar to those who are immunosuppressed.
Long-term COVID has been considered a clinical condition in which the patient, after the critical period of the disease, still has systemic symptoms such as muscle weakness, inability to exercise, sleep disorders and it is still unknown what happens to the pulmonary deposition process. of aerosols. In clinical practice, inspiratory muscle training has been used to treat these patients, but the effectiveness of this intervention in reducing these symptoms is still considered a gap in the literature. To evaluate the effectiveness of inspiratory muscle training in individuals who were affected by COVID-19 to improve submaximal aerobic capacity, respiratory muscle strength, sleep quality, pulmonary deposition of the inhaled radiopharmaceutical and quality of life. This is a quasi-experimental study. , in which elderly volunteers over 18 years of both sexes residing in the city of Recife-Pernambuco will participate. The sample will consist of individuals who have been affected by COVID-19, whose severity of the disease will be classified according to the criteria established by the study by Parasher (2020). 6 minutes. The pulmonary deposition of the radiopharmaceutical will be evaluated pulmonary function will be evaluated by scintigraphy while the maximum respiratory pressures will be evaluated by a manovacuometer. Subjective sleep assessment will be assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Epworth Daytime Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and objective measurement by actigraphy. Finally, quality of life will be measured by the generic Medical OutcomesStudy 36-Item Short-Form HealthSurvey (SF-36) questionnaire. In the group of post-COVID patients in which the reduction in endurance and inspiratory muscle power are identified, an inspiratory muscle training (IMT) will be performed with a load equivalent to 50% of the MIP (assessed weekly), for eight weeks.
The aim of the study is to asses the influence of computer aided diagnostic to the process of lung affection quantification on computer tomography in COVID-19 confirmed patients.
When the literature search is conducted, it is seen that there are many studies examining the effects of COVID-19 disease on individuals in various disease groups (MS, stroke, Parkinson, COPD, asthma, etc.) and age groups (adult, geriatric, etc.). However, it has been determined that there is no study examining the impacts of this disease on functional capacity, physical activity, pulmonary function, emotional state, sleep, and quality of life in healthy young adults. This study will reveal whether COVID-19 disease causes an effect on the mentioned parameters in young adults. The aim of recent study is to investigate functional capacity, respiration, pain, depression, sleep and quality of life in young adults post COVID-19. For this purpose, participants' upper extremity and lower extremity muscle strength, 6-minute walking distance, O2 saturation, posture evaluation, spirometric evaluation, pain threshold, pain intensity, dyspnea, and leg fatigue measurements will be recorded. In addition to these measurements, general fatigue, quality of life, depression, physical activity level, sleep quality parameters will be evaluated and the data obtained will be analyzed with appropriate statistical methods. The goals of recent work, - To determine whether COVID-19 disease causes a decrease in functional capacity and changes in respiratory parameters in young adults, as well as to determine whether there are effects such as pain, depression, decreased sleep and quality of life, - To determine whether there are significant changes in the values of the relevant outcome measurements in all the mentioned parameters, - As a result of these, to determine the effects of COVID-19 disease on these parameters in young adults with objective, measurable data and to guide researchers and clinicians who do/will conduct studies on the subject.
COVID-19 is the infectious disease caused by the novel coronavirus known as SARS-CoV-2, that appeared in 2019. The World Health Organisation (WHO) declared the novel coronavirus a pandemic on 11 March 2020. The evolution of the pandemic is varying across countries, affected in part by different containment strategies ranging from extreme lockdown to relative inaction. As a result, there are regional waves of the disease and pockets of vulnerable populations. Globally, governments have acknowledged that effective vaccines against COVID-19 are the only way to guarantee a safe and sustained exit strategy from repeated lockdowns. The objective of this study is to estimate the vaccine effectiveness against hospitalizations due to circulating COVID-19 VoC among subjects eligible for vaccination with the AstraZeneca or any other COVID-19 vaccine provided in their country as per national/regional immunization recommendations prior to hospital admission. The study design is an observational prospective active-surveillance hospital-based study, with a test-negative case-control design (TNCC) of hospitalized COVID-19 like cases undergoing testing for SARS-CoV-2
