Filter by:The COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 has transmitted quickly as a global public health emergency. The median duration for Sars-CoV-2 carrying in COVID-19 patients was 20 days (IQR 16-28) What is the role of vitamin D supplementation on the recovery time of asymptomatic and pauci-symptomatic COVID-19 subjects? the intervention group will have vitamin D supplementation (200,000 IU / 1 ml of Cholecalciferol (1 ml) Oral form). Control group will have a placebo treatment (physiological saline). the negative RT-PCR date will be compared in the two groups
Prospective, controlled follow-up observation of SARS-CoV-2 positive patients with regard to the aspect of fatigue (cognitive / motor) and psychological disorders in the areas of anxiety, depression and somatization.
COVID-19 pandemic with SARS-CoV-2 infection has become a global challenge. Though most cases of COVID-19 are mild, the disease can also be fatal. Patients with liver disease are more susceptible to damage from SARS-CoV-2 infection considering their immunocompromised status. Therefore, early inoculation of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in patients with liver disease is an important protective measure. However, information on the effectiveness and safety of the COVID-19 vaccine for liver disease remains to be determined. This muilticentre study (CHESS2101) aims to study the effectiveness and safety of the COVID-19 vaccination for patients with liver disease.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single ascending IV dose administrations of GIGA-2050 in patients hospitalized with COVID-19.
A novel device and process to move patients has been developed, particularly useful for patients with severe respiratory failure (ie COVID 19) who require prone ventilation (moving from their back onto the stomach and then onto back for a 16 hour cycle, usually for several days). This study will assess staff impressions of the feasibility of the use of this device/ process to prone patients as well as their impressions of the use of this device, compared to repositioning sheets, for the general care of the ICU patient. An economic analysis of the use of the AMMP for proning compared to movement without assists will be done
Fragility fracture is easily associated with a clinical worsening of patients in terms of quality of life and disability in the medium and long term. Following this traumatic event, more than half of the patients are unable to recover pre-fracture motor skills such as the ability to walk. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on this type of patient has not been described and it is easy to hypothesize that, given their intrinsic frailty condition, they may have been significantly affected by changes in care pathways.
Vaccination against SARS-Cov2 is a necessity for haemodialysis patients because difficulties to maintain a self-isolation (leading to a higher contamination than general population) and an increase of mortality in case of contamination (more than 20% of mortality in this population). However, vaccine efficiency is known to be decreased in haemodialysis patients. This lead critical the rapid description of immunogenicity of anti SARS-Cov2 vaccine in haemodialysis patients. The aim of this study is to describe the immunogenicity of the BTN162b2 SARS-Cov2 vaccine in haemodialysis patients.
Weeks and months after they have seemingly recovered from COVID-19, many patients continue to suffer from major long-term effects. While the virus typically hits the respiratory system, accumulating evidence now indicates a variety of other, non-respiratory symptoms, some of which manifest long after recovery from the acute phase of the disease. Neurologically-related symptoms among COVID-19 convalescents include extreme fatigue, headaches, sleep and mood disorders, cognitive decline and long-lasting impairments in the gustatory and olfactory systems. Interestingly, it seems that there is no direct link between the severity of the disease in its acute stage and the existence or the severity of the long-lasting symptoms. This means that to date, the possibility that even patients who present mild to moderate symptoms will still go on to develop long-lasting neuropsychiatric disorders following the disease cannot be ruled out. Unfortunately, most of the scientific literature relies on self-report of recovered patients and on qualitative assessments of healthcare workers. The literature still lacks a quantified objective characterization of these long-term impairments. Such data ought to be collected using designated questionnaires and validated neuropsychological assessments. In order to allow for a better understanding of the biological mechanisms that underlie long-term effects of COVID-19, comprehensive research in this population is required. Alongside the identification of the variety of symptoms involved, the importance of an interdisciplinary approach that will take into account the emotional and cognitive aspects of the patients is necessary. Patients need accurate information about the possible consequences of this disease, in order to reduce their anxiety and, if needed, to allow them and their family members and caretakers to prepare for the comings. A systematic characterization of the mental effects of COVID-19 will allow global healthcare systems to develop prevention and rehabilitation programs and provide psychological and/or psychiatric follow-up and intervention programs, according to circumstances. By elucidating the mechanisms underlying emotional and cognitive deficits in COVID-19 convalescents, this study may improve future management of the consequences of the pandemic, potentially contributing to the development of efficient medical treatments for populations who suffer from the long-term effects of the disease.
The corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19), suddenly incepted in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, leading to one of the greatest health care emergencies of the last century. Acute exacerbation of the COVID-19 can develop to an ARDS in a significant proportion of hospitalized cases, leading to invasive mechanical ventilation requirement and in some cases even mandating use of extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation. Being a disease having affected up to 15'581'009 as of July 25th, with more than 635'173 deaths, the long-term repercussions are of foremost importance. Health care systems world-wide will be faced with the aftermath of COVID-19, and optimal understanding of the long-term progression of COVID-19 may aid in a better care of critically ill patients and enable specifically targeted rehabilitation programs to improve outcomes. Primary objective of this study is to assess the repercussions of COVID-19 induced critical illness on long-term functional status, quality-of-life, neuropsychology and cognition
The objective of this research is to build a collection of non-invasive retinal imaging (OCT and OCTA) in order to investigate the incidence and impact of retinal damage in patients who have or have had COVID-19.
