Filter by:COVID-19 pandemic emerges an issue for breastfeeding.Earlier in pandemic mothers who had COVID-19 were separated from their babies due to insufficient data but this approach was abandoned due to the lack of transmission via breastmilk.However, where mothers with COVID-19 are cohorted in the same room, they still have to be isolated from their babies following the birth.Investigators aimed to evaluate rate of exclusive breastfeeding(EB) within first 6 months among mothers who were isolated from their babies due to COVID-19.
The COVID-19 pandemic and measures aimed at reducing the spread of the virus have created unique challenges and stresses for Canadian families. Balancing work, family, and daily life has become extremely difficult for many families. Economic uncertainty is widespread as many parents are dealing with increased demands such as working from home, running the household, and homeschooling and caring for their children without the support of their social networks. Recent findings from a study on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on young families conducted by our lab found that parents reported increased levels of stress, difficulties in following through with their parenting duties, and challenges managing their children's behaviour. Accessible programs are urgently needed to help parents cultivate supportive family relationships during and in recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic as physical distancing and public health requirements have further decreased the accessibility of existing programming. The proposed research aims to test the relative value of multiple light-touch parenting supports (developed through the REB-approved BRIDGE program, NCT04347707 and NCT04639557) in a 2-arm randomized control trial including behaviour management and emotion-focused strategies delivered through psychoeducational parenting videos, structured family activities, and an online parenting support group. The investigators plan to evaluate the efficacy of this program at reducing parenting stress (primary outcome) and promoting family well-being (secondary outcomes).
COVID-19 has spread rapidly and now affects all over the world. On 11 March 2020, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). Most of the infected people will develop mild to moderate illness, for example fever, cough, tiredness and joint pain etc. For some older people, and those with comorbidities like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and malignancy are more likely to develop serious illness. Also long-term problems such as fatigue, breathlessness and joint pain experienced by survivors of COVID-19 after discharge from hospital. Some clinical and pharmacological studies have suggested Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has achieved remarkable therapeutic effect for active COVID cases of different severity during SARS epidemic in 2003. Also, some studies shown that using Chinese medicine interventions together with conventional treatment is more effective than using the conventional treatment alone in treating chronic fatigue syndrome. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has a long history and played an important role in the prevention and treatment of several epidemic diseases. However, there is a lack of clinical study of using TCM to treat the residue symptom of COVID-19 recovered patients. COVID-19 recovered patients will be screened and randomized into TCM group or placebo group for 8 weeks and followed by a post-treatment visits at week 12.
Although prone position is widely used in awake patients with COVID-19 associated with supplemental oxygenation, high flow nasal catheter, or noninvasive ventilation, few studies are attesting to its real benefits on physiological variables or intubation rate. Awake patients dependent on supplemental oxygen may have different responses to PP about peripheral oxygen saturation, heart rate, and respiratory rate. Such responses may be permanent, transient, or even absent. We believe that the response to PP can be a predictor of the need for admission to the ICU. This study aimed to evaluate the acute effects of different types of response to the prone position in patients awake with COVID-19.
People who inject drugs (PWID) experience disproportionate risk of being infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, yet due to stigma, fear of mistreatment, and other factors, PWID are far less likely to be vaccinated compared to other populations. In response, we propose to continue our collaboration with a prominent community based organization serving African American and Latino PWID. Our project will explore baseline hesitancy to vaccinate among PWID, identify barriers to vaccination, and then develop and evaluate messaging designed to increase COVID-19 vaccination among our target population of PWID through a clinical trial.
In this study, the investigators aim to evaluate the intervention preferences of patients with obstructive urinary stones who are suitable for operation during the COVID-19 pandemic. The secondary aim is to compare and evaluate the preferences compared to the pre-pandemic period and to gain a perspective on how the decision-making process has changed from the patient's point of view. Thus, by trying to understand how the COVID-19 epidemic affects the treatment choice decisions of patients, the investigators aim to determine how the state of anxiety changes these preferences.
The overarching goal of the Master Protocol is to find effective strategies for inpatient management of patients with COVID-19. Therapeutic goals for patients hospitalized for COVID-19 include hastening recovery and preventing progression to critical illness, multiorgan failure, or death. Our objective is to determine whether modulating the host tissue response improves clinical outcomes among patients with COVID-19.
To determine if patients with a history of Diabetes Mellitus Type I or II developed a change in blood glucose levels as reported on Continuous glucose monitoring devices (CGMS) within the first week following administration of each dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
This is a Phase 2b multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the efficacy and safety of intravenous (IV) Allocetra-OTS 10x10^9 cells vs placebo (1:1) in adult hospitalized patients with severe or critical Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) with associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Patients will be followed for efficacy and safety for 6 months. The trial will include periodic and ad-hoc DSMB review during the study period.
This research study is studying how healthcare worker recipients react after receiving vaccinations for COVID-19. The objective of the study is to evaluate the immune response to COVID-19 vaccination. The immunity will be evaluated over time by measuring serum semi-quantitative SARS-Co-V2 IgG from blood specimens and analyzing vaccine reaction data. SARS-CoV-2 is the name for the virus responsible for COVID-19 infections. IgG, immunoglobulin G, is an antibody found in the blood that protects against bacterial and viral infections. Study subjects will also be asked to report physical reactions they may have experienced related to vaccinations.
