Filter by:Cardiac dysfunction has been reported to be common in patients infected with COVID-19. The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical importance of cardiac dysfunction in critically ill patients infected with COVID-19.
On 31 December 2019, the World Health Organization (WHO) was formally notified about a cluster of cases of pneumonia in Wuhan City, China. On 7 January the responsible virus was isolated and its genome sequence was shared on 12 January. It was named as COVID-19, a novel Coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2. It is a member of the Corona virus family which is RNA enveloped viruses. Very rapidly the virus emerged as pandemic. Now it is dominating the lives of every people of this universe. Management of the COVID-19 relies on mainly supportive care and oxygen supplementation via non-invasive or mechanical ventilation in critical cases. Patients who are critically ill may also require vasopressor support and antibiotics for secondary bacterial infections. There is no vaccine or highly effective antiviral drugs for COVID-19. Currently there is a tremendous effort around the world to develop effective preventive and therapeutic treatment for this disease. World Health Organization has launched a non-blinded clinical trial (SOLIDARITY) to evaluate four candidate treatments (remdesivir, lopinavir/ritonavir, lopinavir/ritonavir/ interferon beta-1a, and chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine) versus standard of care in 18 countries worldwide. RECOVERY trial one of the largest trials to see the efficacy and safety of hydroxychloroquine revealed that they are no clear cut clinical benefit for COVID-19. Other drugs in the SOLIDARTY trial are quite expansive for resource limited countries like Bangladesh. Study Published in the American Journal of Tropical Medicine advocates further research into Ivermectin for COVID-19 Treatment. The spotlight on Ivermectin was brought by Australian researchers from Monash University who demonstrated its efficacy against the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus in vitro studies. In different study Doxycycline also showed promising results in treatment of COVID 19 infection. It is highly lipophilic antibiotics that are known to chelate zinc component of matrix metalloprotienases (MMP). Corona viruses are known to rely heavily of MMPs for survival, cell infiltration and replication. It also has an anti-inflammatory effect which might be effective in combating cytokine storm of Covid-19 infection. So it have been planned to conduct an experimental clinical trial using combination of ivermectin and doxycycline for treatment of COVID 19 along with the other standard care.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of antroquinonol treatment of mild to moderate pneumonia due to COVID-19, as measured by the proportion of patients alive and free of respiratory failure.
France and especially the region "Grand Est" have been severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The first affected patients gradually began leaving the hospitalization sector and some of them required rehabilitation before returning home. Because it has only been studied for few months, COVID 19 possible impairment remain unknown, especially in patients who required admission in ICU and needed rehabilitation. In order to better understand the impact of the disease, the investigators wish to carry out a descriptive analysis of hospitalized patient in rehabilitation center for Post-Covid-19 rehabilitation after ICU. The purpose of this study was to describe the impairments and functional independency in patients addressed to a rehabilitation center after an ICU stay for COVID 19 and to explore the factors associated with their evolution.
As of May 26, 2020, 5,508,904 confirmed cases (145,279 in France) of COVID-19 and 346,508 deaths (28,457 in France) have been reported since December 8, 2019 worldwide. The rapid increase in the number of cases in our territory caused France to pass to level 3 of the epidemic on March 14, 2020. The natural history of this disease is still poorly understood, particularly in patients infected with HIV, patients considered to be at higher risk for severe forms. Knowing the seroprevalence in the population of people living with HIV will make it possible to better understand the Covid infection in immunocompromised patients, know the percentage of immunization and the persistence or not of the antibodies over time, specify the protective nature or not of these antibodies detected.
COVID-19 is a worldwide pandemic. Around 5% of infected patients are admitted in ICU, mainly for respiratory failure. Outcome of these patients is linked to other organ failures. Optimal therapies are not defined so far. The sponsor want to assess the role of MR-ProADM as prognostic biomarker, and the impact of treatments (including supportive treatments) on MOF occurrence and outcome.
The response to COVID-19 means social isolation/distancing for the majority of the UK. This has the potential to negatively affect all domains of quality of life (QoL). QoL can be improved by giving feedback on gaps between someone's perceived QoL in a domain and how important it is to them (plus prompting reflective questions). However, interventions that are designed to improve QoL may increase the effectiveness of this as optimised behaviour change techniques can be used. This study aims to develop and test a quality of life intervention during social isolation/distancing.
This study aims to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the preventative vaccine, AdimrSC-2f, in healthy volunteers aged from 20 to 60 years old.
Severe and critically ill patients will be enrolled in the study (50 patients) after duly filled consent forms. Recipients shall be divided in to 5 groups with 10 patients per group to compare clinical efficacy and safety of patients in clinical phase I/phase II study. Each group shall receive particular single dose of Intravenously administered Immunoglobulins (IVIG) developed from convalescent plasma of recovered COVID-19 individual , an experimental drug along with standard treatment except for control group which will receive standard treatment only.
There is insufficient knowledge about transmission routes and the effectiveness of general protective measures to prevent infection, such as the closure of schools or the wearing of mouthguards. This will be illustrated using the example of the COVID-19 outpatient clinic in Solingen and the positive COVID-19 tests registered there. Another aspect we would like to address in this study is the number of COVID-19 tests performed against the background of political events or dramatic accumulations of COVID-19 cases in other parts of Germany or Europe. Do speeches by political leaders about the COVID-19 situation or a very strong regional spread of infection elsewhere have an impact on the frequency with which people react sensitively to suspicious symptoms and undergo testing for infection?
