Filter by:COVID-19 infection causes a hypersensitive immune reaction and widespread inflammation in various organs of the body, especially through cytokines in the lungs. This cytokine-mediated widespread inflammation can also affect the parathyroid glands, resulting in impaired parathyroid secretion. Researchers evaluated the levels of parathyroid hormone, calcium, phosphorus, and alkaline phosphatase in patients hospitalized for COVID-19 infection. Researchers excluded patients on intensive care therapy and patients with known parathyroid disease. The researchers examined the association of parathyroid hormone secretion with COVID-19 disease, white blood cells, neutrophil / lymphocyte ratio, C reactive protein, fibrinogen, procalcitonin, ferritin, and D-dimer in these patients. The researchers compared the parathyroid hormone level of healthy people without COVID-19 infection and known parathyroid disease with the parathyroid hormone level of Covid-19 patients.
The overall objective of this study is to efficiently evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of different investigational therapeutics among adults who have COVID-19 but are not yet sick enough to require hospitalization. The overall hypothesis is that through an adaptive trial design, potential effective therapies (single and combination) may be identified for this group of patients. COVID-19 Outpatient Pragmatic Platform Study (COPPS) is a pragmatic platform protocol designed to evaluate COVID-19 treatments by assessing their ability to reduce viral shedding (Viral Domain) or improve clinical outcomes (Clinical Domain). To be included into the platform, every investigational product will collect data for both Domain primary endpoints. Individual treatments to be evaluated in the platform will be described in separate sub-protocols.

This study is designed to evaluate three dose levels of Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Immunoglobulin Intravenous (Human) (COVID-HIGIV) for safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) in healthy adults. Twenty-eight healthy adult subjects will be enrolled into the study to receive a single dose of COVID-HIGIV or placebo with 84 days of safety and PK follow-up post-administration.
COLUMBIA CARDS is a pilot study to understand how COVID-19 affects the heart. It is known that COVID-19 can affect the heart in different ways. COLUMBIA CARDS is studying why some COVID-19 survivors develop clinical conditions such as heart inflammation, fluid buildup, blood clots, and other cardiac problems during or after their COVID-19 illness, and why other ones do not. In this study, we will use cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) to better understand the impact of COVID-19 on the heart.
This is a single-blind study consisting of up to 3 cohorts Patients will be randomized 3:1 to Auxora or Placebo. The first 4 patients will be enrolled in Cohort 1. If dose escalation occurs, the next 4 patients will be enrolled in Cohort 2 If dose escalation occurs, the next 8 patients will be enrolled in Cohort 3. The decision to escalate dosing will be made by CalciMedica in consultation with the PI and after the review of safety events in Cohorts 1 and 2.
In the current study, the investigators will revise our existing 10-session group RRT treatment manual to specifically address the challenges in building social support and enhancing both momentary and sustained reward during the COVID-19 pandemic (Preliminary Aim 1). In months 2-18, the investigators will conduct a small pilot RCT that will randomize individuals to receive either 10-sessions of RRT (n=30) or supportive therapy (n=30), both delivered as group-treatments via videoconferencing software. The specific aims of the current study are to confirm the feasibility and acceptability of RRT for EDs (Primary Aim 1), evaluate the ability of RRT to engage critical targets including reward to day-to-day life activities, reward to palatable foods, social isolation, and loneliness (Primary Aim 2), and provide preliminary estimates of efficacy in reducing ED symptoms at both post-treatment and a 3-month follow-up (Primary Aim 3). the investigators will also evaluate the impact of RRT on secondary outcome variables including depression, substance use, and quality of life (Secondary Aim 1).
This Pre-Post, open-cohort design, pragmatic trial with 150 clinicians and will evaluate the effectiveness of the use of telehealth Advanced Care Planning (ACP) Program by comparing ACP documentation among 13,000 patients over 65
Analysis of the relationship between clinical characteristics and haematological parameters in long COVID. The novel coronavirus (Covid19) pandemic declared by the World Health Organisation in March 2020 has had an enormous huge impact upon health, health systems and society. Early research has focused on the acute illness caused by the virus. It is now clear that significant numbers of patients infected with Covid19 continue to suffer with multiple, often severe, unexplained symptoms for months after initial infection, so-called long-Covid. Long-Covid symptoms are typically multi-system in their presentation comprising constitutional changes (e.g. fever and fatigue), neuropsychiatric disturbance (e.g. anxiety, insomnia and brain fog), neurosensory symptoms (e.g. headaches and pins and needles), cardiorespiratory effects (e.g. breathlessness and chest pain), gastrointestinal dysfunction (e.g. diarrhoea and food intolerances) and dermatological changes (e.g. rashes and vascular changes). The objectives of this observational, cross-sectional, case-control study are to describe long-Covid clinical phenotypes and to explore whether clinical symptom presentations correlate with haematological and other inflammatory blood abnormalities that might shed insight into underlying pathogenic mechanisms. The study will require the participation of long-Covid patients, seen in an outpatient setting at The Physicians' Clinic, and will correlate clinical symptom phenotypes with laboratory parameters we believe might be relevant to long-Covid. Recruitment of asymptomatic patients, who have recovered from Covid19 infection, will provide a control patient group. Eligible patients will be sent a patient information sheet, describing the study objectives and protocol, inviting them to participate in the study and seeking consent for their participation, which will require analysis of their [anonymised] clinical and laboratory data. Clinical information will be retrieved from patient case records and patients will be asked to complete a symptom questionnaire. All patients will require one blood sample to be taken which will typically form part of their clinical care. Recruitment will occur over a 6 month period.
Gazi Yasargil Training and Research Hospital, located in Diyarbakır province in southeastern Turkey, was designed as a pandemic hospital from the beginning of the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) outbreak. The first cases in our region were seen on March 22, 2020. In this study, we aim to retrospectively examine the critical patients we admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) due to COVID-19 from the first onset of cases until September 01, 2020 to investigate the factors affecting mortality. The necessary permits for the study were obtained from the Scientific Research Platform of the T.R. Ministry of Health and the Ethics Committee of the Gazi Yasargil educational and Research Hospital in Diyarbakır. (No: 550, 11.09.2020) Patients diagnosed with COVID-19 on the specified dates, followed in the ICU, older than 18 years, identified as critical/serious according to the World Health Organization and provisional guidelines of the Scientific Board of the T.R. Ministry of Health will be included in the study. ICU patients without COVID-19; COVID-19 patients under 18 years of age; COVID-19 patients with mild to moderate symptoms, no respiratory distress, no signs of common pneumonia on lung radiography or tomography will be excluded from the study. Patients' age, gender, comorbidity, blood groups, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II), Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) and Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) scores when first admitted to the ICU, hemogram parameters (white blood cell count, neutrophil, lymphocyte, neutrophil / lymphocyte ratio, hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelet count), blood gas information (pH, partial oxygen pressure-PO2, carbon dioxide partial pressure-PCO2, bicarbonate-HCO3, lactate), coagulation parameters (prothrombin time and D-dimer, blood biochemistry results (C-reactive protein, lactate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase , urea, creatinine, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin and indirect bilirubin), procalcitonin and ferritin levels will be recorded. In addition, the number of days spent in the ICU and whether mortality develops or not will be recorded. Patients will be divided into two groups according to their clinical results as those without mortality during ICU follow-up (Group S) and those with mortality (Group NS). The clinical characteristics of both groups, APACHE II, SOFA, KDIGO scores and laboratory results at the first admission to the ICU will be compared. With the diagnosis of COVID-19, factors affecting mortality in critical patients in the ICU will be tried to be determined.
