Filter by:In this study the investigators are hoping to the find out what changes occur within the body of people recovering from Covid-19 at 5-7 months and 11-13 months following discharge from hospital, compared to healthy controls, and whether these changes can help explain why some patients may experience fatigue. Measurements will be taken using state-of-the-art MRI imaging at rest and also during low intensity exercise, to mimic everyday activity. In doing so it is expected that this will inform ways to adapt exercise rehabilitation programmes, making them better suited for Covid-19 survivors.
The Covid-19 pandemic has generated, in the Latin American population, unprecedented levels of anxiety, depression and substance use associated with the diagnosis of the disease. Consequently, it has been pointed out that a moderating variable for the appearance of these psychological problems is high social and economic vulnerability. OBJECTIVE: To assess differences in psychological problems exposed to the diagnosis of Covid-19 by groups of countries with different incomes. METHODOLOGY: A non-experimental, correlational, prospective, double-blind, cross-sectional study was carried out using the CHERRIES methodological criteria and the sample was Latin American people. The scales used were for depression (PHQ-9), anxiety (GAD-7) and substance use (ASSIST). Likewise, Latin American countries were classified by their income level according to the World Bank. Also, the Shapiro-Wilk normality test and an ANOVA analysis of variance were performed, with Post Hoc test, with Bonferroni adjustment
The term recovery from COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 is unverified because the infection leaves many symptoms due to permanent effects on multiple organs; The primary objective of this research is to understand acute and chronic long COVID symptoms by asking questions detecting patient's experience especially symptoms lasting for several months which is known as chronic fatigue syndrome(Myalgic encephalitis). The study focuses on symptoms describing Myalgic encephalitis which may still affect COVID patients for several months after the infection along with making a big picture about rare symptoms that may the patient experienced during or after the infection. A secondary objective of this research is to focus on the long-term sequelae effects and comorbidities following COVID-19 vaccination.
This study is clinical trial (intervention study with external comparison group) to test vaccination with reduced dose (half dose) of ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (AZD1222), in a 2-dose schedule with an interval of 8 weeks, including all adults aged 18 to 49 years from Viana city - Espírito Santo (ES)/Brazil, on the incidence of new cases over 12 months following treatment, compared to an external group from same state and adjusted for socio-demographic and epidemiological variables.
This study will evaluate the long-term sequelae of COVID-19 in patients diagnosed with COVID-19 who previously enrolled in a RO7496998 (AT-527) study (i.e. parent study NCT04889040 [CV43043]), for approximately 6 months after the end of the parent study.
Critical ill COVID-19 patients often develop respiratory, hemodynamic and neuropsychiatric complications. An imbalance of sympatho-parasympathetic nervous system is discussed as one of the reasons. The nervus vagus is essential for controlling the sympatho-parasympathetic nervous system and the inflammatory processes. Aim of this study is to evaluate whether Nervus vagus stimulation decreases the rate of complications (e.g. need of mechanical ventilation, hospital stay, mortality) in critical ill patients.
The study will be done in Hacettepe University Anesthesiology and Reanimation Intensive Care Unit. The investigators will accept COVID-19 diagnosed or suspected patients to the ICU. In the first day of hospitalization and after that once a week, the investigators will take blood samples from the patients to evaluate Coenzyme q10 levels. Our hypothesis is that there is a relationship between low coenzyme q10 levels and poor clinical outcome.
This study assesses the level of distress felt by cancer patients due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Researchers also want to learn if patients prefer to receive supportive care (palliative care) in person or through telemedicine (visits by phone or video call, such as Zoom). Information from this study may help doctors better understand how COVID-19 has affected patients with advanced cancer, patients' perceptions of telehealth, and may help clinicians tailor care to patients' needs during the pandemic.
We conducted a retrospective observational study of adult participants receiving only SOC (dexamethasone 8 mg or its equivalent plus oxygen, HNFO or eventual IMV) versus participants receiving SOC plus TCZ (8mg/kg as a single dose) as treatment for severe or critical SARS CoV2 pneumonia. The inclusion date will be the date of admission, and follow up will conclude at death or discharge (whichever occurs first) to describe clinical and laboratory characteristics and outcome of adult participants receiving only standard of care (SOC) versus participants receiving SOC plus TCZ as treatment for severe or critical SARS CoV2 pneumonia.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) including patients on dialysis and kidney transplant recipients. represents the special subgroups of patients that required protection during the Severe Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic .Since COVID-19 is associated with severe morbidity and mortality in these particular subgroup of patients, the main strategies is proper and rapid vaccination. CKD patients usually have a reduced immune responses, vaccination in these group of patients usually require higher dosage and more frequent dose since the vaccine response is short-lived and less response especially in dialysis patients5 .In patients with normal renal function,the immunity is durable but with modest declines at 6-8months. One study showed a linear decline in IgG in dialysis patients for up to 3months , but there are otherwise limited data. Previous reports of the vaccination in CKD patient involved mainly the mRNA vaccines. The recent reports of seroconversion rate dialysis patients receiving two doses of BNT 162b2 vaccine (Pfizer BioNtech) was lower than in control. In Thailand, the main vaccines available are Coronavac (Sinovac Life Science, Beijing, China) and ChadOx1 nCoV-19 (Oxford-Astra Zeneca) which was dispensed all over the country since April 2021. Data of the efficacy and safety of these vaccines in these patient groups is lacking. Therefore, the aim of this study is to measure the antibody and cellular responses in CKD patients including those with dialysis therapy and kidney transplantation and monitor the adverse events after the first and second doses of after vaccination. The incidence rate of Sars-COV2 infection post vaccination was also observed.
