Filter by:The research will be retrospective, and will include all patients who were admitted during 2020 and 2021 in the COVID-19 ICU of University Hospital Center Osijek due to pneumonia caused by the Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The association of chest x-ray infiltrate evolution with changes in laboratory inflammatory parameters and respiratory function parameters will be examined.
The primary objective of the study is to assess the safety and tolerability of co-formulated subcutaneous (SC) and intravenous (IV) casirivimab+imdevimab The secondary objectives of the study are to: - Explore variability in the drug concentration profiles of casirivimab and imdevimab after co-formulated subcutaneous (SC) or intravenous (IV) administration - Characterize the immunogenicity of casirivimab and imdevimab in serum over time
Preliminary studies suggest that COVID-19 causes long-term lung damage, even in young, otherwise healthy people who did not need to go to hospital or the ICU. We seek to know how common long-term lung damage after COVID-19 is, who is most affected by it and what the effects of this damage are on other important aspects of people's lives. We plan to study a large sample of people with a history of COVID-19 infection from across Canada-some who needed hospitalization but most who did not. Through online questionnaires, we will determine their respiratory symptoms, quality of life and medical history. Then we will invite them to one of our thirteen Canadian testing centres to have special, thorough breathing tests. We hypothesize that COVID-19 leaves a significant proportion of people with measurable respiratory impairment. The information we learn about the effect of COVID-19 on the lungs will help patients and health care providers manage it better. It will also reveal how different COVID-19 variants affect the lungs. We will use this new knowledge to write a formal guide on what respiratory monitoring and testing should be done after COVID-19 infection. This will ensure that people affected by COVID-19 get the care they need to maintain their lung health.
This is a phase I randomized, placebo-controlled, single site to assess the local and systemic safety of intranasal Q-Griffithsin (Q-GRFT) after 14 doses in approximately 45 adult participants. Participants will be randomized 2:1 (Q-GRFT nasal spray: placebo nasal spray) resulting in 30 participants enrolled into the Q-GRFT arm and 15 participants enrolled into the placebo arm. A clinician will apply two metered doses of Q-GRFT in each nostril (400μl total) of the participant on the day of enrollment. Participants will be monitored in the clinic for 1 hour after administration and return for a 24-hour post dose visit. If safe and acceptable, a second period of daily administration by the participant for 13 days will commence. Safety assessments will be performed at day 7, day 14, and day 28 visits after the initiation of the second period. The expected duration of study participation for each participant will be approximately 6-8 weeks. The primary endpoint is the proportion of participants who experience a related Grade 2 or higher adverse event. Secondary and exploratory endpoints include persistence and systemic absorption of Q-GRFT, acceptability and the impact of Q-GRFT nasal spray on smell.
This study aims to get children safely back to school by (1) Child and Family Testing, (2) ECE Personnel Testing, and (3) Outdoor Learning via Garden Education.
There are 2 types of surgical procedures to remove the appendix : open appendectomy or laparoscopic appendectomy. About 60000 appendectomies are performed every year in France. Early diagnosis of acute appendicitis is essential to prevent the risk of disease progression, leading to complicated appendicitis and an increased risk for mortality. Data regarding appendicitis management in the literature are numerous. However, the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the management of those patients has led to a decrease in the number of visits for acute appendicitis (ER), but a higher proportion of complicated appendicitis, probably due to the patient's delayed decision to go to emergency department at the onset of clinical symptoms. Complicated appendicitis may also lead to an overuse of antibiotics, a longer hospital stay, and a higher global cost for the health system. This aim of this study was to evaluate whether this hypothesis was valid for the regional NANCY-METZ area (CHR Metz and CHRU Nancy). The main research hypothesis was that the pandemic caused by SARS-COVID 19 was significantly linked to an increased incidence of perioperative complications in patients who underwent an appendectomy for acute appendicitis in this region (North-east part of France).
The study investigators hypothesize that SARS-Cov2 infection alters the composition of the digestive microbiota and its functionality, resulting in changes in intestinal permeability and consequently in microbial digestive translocation. These changes may correlate with the magnitude of the SARS-CoV-2 viral load in the gastrointestinal tract and may have an impact on the clinical manifestations and evolvability of COVID-19.
Our hypothesis - that 21 days of mountain spa rehabilitation with ubiquinol supplementation could to accelerate regeneration of patients with post-COVID-19 syndrome, based on the improving platelet mitochondrial bioenergetic, decreasing of oxidative stress and improving of antioxidants protections of patients with post-COVID-19 syndrome.
A subset of patients with COVID-19 develops acute respiratory failure and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) (1). The use of invasive mechanical ventilation for the treatment of these conditions is associated with high mortality rates (2,3). The use of high-flow nasal oxygen therapy (HFNO) and awake prone position (AW-PP) could to decrease the need for endotracheal intubation and other adverse clinical outcomes (4-6). The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical results of the simultaneous application of high-flow nasal oxygen therapy HFNO and awake-prone position in a cohort of patients with severe respiratory failure secondary to COVID-19 on relevant clinical outcomes, and to assess risk factors of treatment failure defined as requirement of invasive mechanical ventilation.
The cases of COVID-19 are continuing to be confirmed around the world. In the clinical settings, the nurses in evacuation acute wards are main responsibility to undertake the care of emergency patient follow-up and suspected or confirmed COVID-19 cases. Those nurses have to face the high psychological pressure, unknown panic, fear and so on. Thus, the study plans to invite nurses who are working in evacuation acute wards to participate the project called "Remote Psychological Support Group (RPSG)". The study supposes "RPSG" could improve nurses' self-efficacy, fear of COVID-19, psychological distress, and quality of life.
