Filter by:The new Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) named coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is currently responsible for a pandemic spread of febrile respiratory infections, responsible for a veritable global health crisis. In adults, several evolutionary patterns are observed: i) a/pauci-symptomatic forms; ii) severe forms immediately linked to rare extensive viral pneumonia; and iii) forms of moderate severity, some of which progress to secondary aggravation (Day 7-Day 10). Children can be affected, but are more rarely symptomatic and severe pediatric forms are exceptional. Like some other coronaviruses (SARS-CoV and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV)), these differences in clinical expression could be based on a variability in the immunological response, notably either via inhibition of the type I interferon (IFN-I) response, or on the contrary an immunological dysregulation responsible for a "cytokine storm" associated with the aggravation. Little is known about the impact of these innate immune response abnormalities on the adaptive response. In addition, certain genetic factors predisposing to a state of "hyper-fragility" and certain viral virulence factors could also be predictive of the clinical response. In this context, the main hypothesis is that the virological analysis and the initial biological and immunological profiles are correlated with the initial clinical presentation of COVID-19 infection. In particular, children forms and pauci-symptomatic disease in adults may be linked to a more robust innate immune response, including better production of IFN-I.
COVID-19 pandemic has an important impact on the health care provided by the anesthesiologists. Different societies of anesthesiology have provided guidelines and recommendations on how to manage patients who have been tested positive for COVID-19 or suspected to be infected. It is therefore important to know whether these guidelines have been implemented or were possible to be implemented. Otherwise patients who are presenting COVID-19 often show pulmonary complications. The airway management and the ventilation management of these patients can be therefore challenging and can possibly influence their outcome. It is thus important to obtain a large database with information about the characteristics of these patients, how these patients have been managed and their in-hospital outcome. Information regarding the correct implementation of guidelines is as well necessary for future guidance of health care providers.
The human disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 is called COVID-19. In most cases, COVID-19 presents as a mild to moderate respiratory illness. But it can also be more severe and even lead to death. The purpose of this study is to: - Determine the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 carrier status over time in children and parents - Determine the prevalence of antibody development over time in children and parents - Compare carrier status and antibody development for children with asthma and/or other atopic conditions (e.g. eczema) versus children without asthma and/or other atopic conditions - Investigate the presence of SARS-CoV-2 exposure in historical samples from enrolled participants
To date, the effects of SARS-Cov-2 (Covid-19) on the myocardium and the role it plays in the evolution towards an acute myocarditis are badly understood. The current pandemic of this emerging virus is an opportunity to assess the proportion of acute myocarditis attributable to SARS-Cov-2(Covid-19) and to assess the clinical, biological and imaging presentations, by means of a national prospective multicentre hospital registry of cases of acute myocarditis.
The research team is investigating administering exogenous surfactant in COVID-19 patients with ARDS. The overall goal is to improve the outcome (mortality) of mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients. Although the investigators anticipate that clinical outcomes may improve in the small group of patients receiving exogenous surfactant therapy in this small, single center study, the primary goal is to first determine feasibility and safety.
Background: The COVID19 and liver relationships are very rare. The preliminary Chinese data indicate that 2-11% of patients treated for COVID19 had an underlying chronic liver disease. However, there is no clinical data on morbi-mortality in this context. Objectives: Primary Objective: Evaluate the mortality related to Covid-19 in patients with a chronic liver disease Secondary objectives: - Evaluate the mortality (liver-related and no liver-related) due to the Covid-19 according to the cirrhotic status, an history of hepatocellular carcinoma, an immunosuppressive treatment and its type, the etiology-ies of liver disease at the diagnosis of Covid-19 (viral hepatitis -B and/or C-, liver disease related to alcohol consumption, metabolic syndrome, hemochromatosis, immune liver disease, other or unknown), and comorbidities - Evaluate the liver morbidity related to Covid-19, including - incidence of liver biochemical abnormalities in patients with normal liver enzymes values or of a 2-fold increase of usual values for AST, ALT, GGT, Alcalines Phosphatasis - incidence of liver complications (acute hepatitis, liver insufficiency, decompensation of cirrhosis, encephalopathy, renal insufficiency) Patients: All patients with a liver disease (chronic or acute) with a positive diagnosis of Covid-19 assessed either by positive PCR or specific thoracic abnormalities at TDM Methodology: Observational ambispective study consisting exclusively of a collection of data from patients with liver diseases and managed for COVID 19 The data is collected and transcribed on a secure electronic eCRF hosted at the Assitance Publique des Hôpitaux de Paris and accessible online from the AFEF website Duration and organisation of the research: After information of the patients and making available a non-opposition form, the main demographic and clinical data related to the liver disease and to the COVID19 already collected in the patient's medical record will be collected in a dedicated e-CRF. Effective of the study: All consecutive patients included in the study whose data are collected e-CRF until 31/12/2020.
The COVID-19 pandemic is profoundly changing the way people live and work. After the health impact, it is the mental and psychological impact that reaches varying degrees in the entire world population. The previous Asian epidemics have had a lasting impact on the health professionals concerned. In France, no study has yet assessed the psychological impact of this health crisis on the level of health professionals. Investigators propose to study prospectively the evolution of the state of stress and anxiety of all the professionals practicing within the gynecology-obstetrics departments of 18 French hospitals. Investigators also hypothesize that the mental repercussions in terms of stress and anxiety within the same service could be different depending on the professional status and the place of exercise (the French regions being impacted in different ways). In addition to the epidemiological interest, the results of this study may help us to target regions and professionals who will need psychological support during and after this serious health crisis.
During the COVID-19 pandemic after reopening of the country, school, kindergarten and daycare, children have been obligated to do frequent handwash. The study group wished to investigate whether this has had implications on symptoms of dry, red, itchy or sore hands and hand eczema. The investigation was performed within the first and second week after reopening by questionnaires distributed to parents electronically via schools, kindergartens and daycare facilities electronic platforms.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Lung failure is the main cause of death related to COVID-19 infection. The main objective of this study was to evaluate if ibrutinib is safe and can reduce respiratory failure in participants with COVID-19 infection.
Novel Coronavirus is reported to cause COVID-19, recently. It's known that this virus uses ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme) 2 receptors to enter human cells and also blocks the activity of ACE 2. Upon these data the investigators hypothesize that, mortal hyper-inflammation state which is shown in COVID-19 cases, can be a result of angiotensin peptide (1-7) deficiency. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the possible effect of angiotensin peptide (1-7) supplementation on treatment of COVID-19 cases.
