Filter by:The aim of the study is to compare two methods of oxygen therapy in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome in the course of SARS-CoV2 pneumonia. The initial method of oxygen supply during coronavirus pneumonia is conventional oxygen therapy using a face mask or nasal cannula. However, there have been reports in the literature that early initiation of high-flow oxygen therapy with a nasal cannula is associated with better prognosis. The study we perform is intended to provide reliable evidence for confirmation this hypothesis.
1. Raise awareness for persistent post-COVID syndrome (PPCS). 2. Rising tide of physical and psychological disabilities that have been described in post-COVID patients.
aim of the research is to detect hematological abnormalities in covid 19 patients and its correlation with the severity and outcome of the disease.
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.
The coronavirus disease (COVID- 19) is now a global pandemic that was first reported in China (Wuhan) in December of 2019. Multiple placental abnormalities including fetal and maternal vascular malperfusion have been described in pregnant women infected with (COVID- 19). To date, there are far fewer reports about the specific effects of (COVID- 19) in the newborns delivered for (COVID- 19) positive mothers.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase II exploratory clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Human COVID-19 immunoglobulin (pH4) for intravenous injection (COVID-HIG) in the treatment of patients with COVID-19.
The main goal of this study is to characterize the adaptive immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection in a cohort of children with cancer and impaired immune responsiveness and prolonged viral shedding of SARS-CoV-2, and to identify SARS-CoV-2 variants that might arise during poorly controlled virus replication
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a novel, has rapid spread worldwide. Currently, almost 11 million cases have been diagnosed and more than 500,000 infected people have died rather than undiagnosed patients . Although COVID-19 is mostly characterized by the respiratory tract affection, cardiovascular complications frequently accompany COVID-19 infections increasing morbidity and mortality in such patients . Arrhythmias are frequently reported in COVID-19 patients, with atrial fibrillation (AF) being the most common form . Although electrical, calcium handling, and structural remodeling plays a key role in AF pathophysiology , the clinical presentation of AF is diverse and the precise mechanisms of AF remain unclear in this large proportion of patients . In patients with severe pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and sepsis, the incidence of AF during hospitalization is usually high . For instance, about 23-33% of critically ill patients with sepsis or ARDS have AF recurrences and 10% develop de novo AF. Dexmedetomidine preserves the natural sleep pattern and induces cooperative sedation in which patients are easily arousable, leading to to less impairment in cognitive function. In addition, it has an opioid sparing effect, and it is associated with a significant decrease in the duration of delirium, ventilatory care along with ICU stay, and therefore it is associated with a significant improvement in outcomes. These mentioned advantages make dexmedetomidine a fundamental sedative in ICU practice . The use of dexmedetomidine to prevent atrial fibrillation is unclear . However, two retrospective studies also showed that dexmedetomidine sedation might
A pneumonia of unknown cause detected in Wuhan, China, was first reported in December 2019. On 08 January 2020, the pathogen causing this outbreak was identified as a novel coronavirus 2019. The outbreak was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on 30 January 2020. On 12 February 2020, the virus was officially named as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), and the WHO officially named the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). On 11 March 2020, the WHO upgraded the status of the COVID-19 outbreak from epidemic to pandemic, which is now spreading globally at high speed. There are currently few licensed vaccines to prevent infection with SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19 and the duration of response is unknown. Given the rapid transmission of COVID-19 and incidence of disease on a worldwide basis, the rapid development of effective vaccines with sufficient protection and duration of response is of utmost importance. IAU has developed a thermally stable plasmid DNA (pDNA)-based vaccine candidate using a platform approach that enables the rapid development of vaccines against emerging viral diseases, including SARS-CoV-2. The pDNA vaccine developed by IAU is a synthetic, codon-optimized, encode either the full-length Spike (S) gene or S1 domain of SARS-CoV-2 as genes of interest. Here, we aim to test a synthetic, codon optimized pDNA encoding S.opt.FL as vaccine candidate against COVID-19. A key advantage of pDNA vaccine is that multiple immunization can be used without the limitations of anti-vector responses. This study is intended to investigate the safety, immunogenicity, and tolerbilty of this prophylactic vaccine against COVID-19 administered as intramuscular immunization (i.m.).
Patients with Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) experience distressing and challenging to manage respiratory symptoms. Interventions such as Oxygen (O2) therapy, oral opiates, and traditional nebulizers like ipratropium bromide and salbutamol, are variably effective, and therapeutic responses in individual patients are difficult to predict. The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of nebulized fentanyl citrate on dyspnea, cough, and throat pain in patients with COVID-19, as well as evaluate the safety with any potential adverse events. In COVID-19, about 59% of patients will exhibit cough, 35% generalized body ache and sore throat and 31% will have dyspnea. Nebulized Lidocaine, magnesium, and opioids are alternative methods for the management of respiratory symptoms in various patients. Fentanyl nebulization was found to be effective in decreasing dyspnea in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients by decreasing the rate of spontaneous respiratory rate, modulating cortical activity, and diminishing the brain stem chemoreceptor response to hypoxia and hypercarbia. The investigators hypothesize that nebulized fentanyl is superior to nebulized saline in suppressing cough, respiratory drive, improving breathlessness or dyspnea with the additional advantage of throat pain relief with minimal adverse effects in patients with COVID-19.
