The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) a pandemic on March 11, 2020. As of 19 July 2020, there have been 14.3 million confirmed cases and over 600,000 confirmed deaths. Up to 14% of infected patients develop interstitial pneumonia, which may evolve to acute respiratory distress syndrome. COVID-19 associated pulmonary arterial microthrombosis and coagulopathy has prompted physicians to implicate pulmonary embolism (PE) as a potential cause for acute respiratory deterioration. Literature review reveals few studies of varying size, quality and design. Recent meta-analysis reports venous thromboembolism in approximately 20% of COVID-19 patients. There has yet to be a case-controlled study which proves and quantifies the associated between COVID-19 and PE.Confirming and quantifying this association has numerous clinical implications for the treatment of critically unwell patients with COVID-19 infection. For example, clinicians will be more inclined to investigate and treat sudden deteriorations with the knowledge that pulmonary embolism is the commonest cause for said deteriorations.
The aim of this study is to explore the acceptability and feasibility of a novel medical device system for autonomously monitoring of breath and heart sounds in Covid-19 (detecting and monitoring the progression of Covid-19 pneumonitis, by evaluating sounds captured through a wearable device (Senti)). As a first-in-man study, the investigators will investigate the safety of the Senti device, the usability and acceptability of the device; and ensure technical and practical feasibility of the device in a real-world clinical setting. Healthcare resources have been stretched substantially by Covid-19. Devices which enable patients to be monitored at home and direct these precious resources to those who require them are needed more than ever. 10 patients will be recruited (the study participants) in two tranches (6 and 4) who are being discharged from A&E into the community, with Covid-19. These patients will wear the Senti device. The first tranche will use the device over a single session lasting 20 minutes only. The second tranche (which will include patients from tranche one, and which will only proceed if no adverse events are detected in tranche one), participants will wear the device at their discretion (particularly encouraged to wear overnight) over the course of 5 days. The investigators will survey the study participants to answer three key questions: What is the feasibility of the Senti data-capture device? Is this device usable in clinical practice? What are the requirements to train patients to use the device? The investigators will also consider: Does the device function technically and practically, in real-world clinical scenarios? What are the key expected and unexpected safety issues related to using the device (with a particular emphasis on whether the device is likely to cause pressure sores)? These questions will establish the feasibility of using the Senti data capture device as part of a novel medical device system for the autonomous evaluation and monitoring of bioacoustic signals for Covid-19.
The study investigates the side effects of different COVID-19 vaccines.
This is an adaptive, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, Phase II/III study conducted to evaluate the effect of SCTA01 on participant survival and clinical efficacy in participants with severe COVID-19 admitted to high dependence or ICUs. The study duration of subject participation will be up to: 120 days Participants will receive a single intravenous (IV) infusion of SCTA01 at Treatment day 1. Follow up visits will be up to 120 days or early withdrawal visit.
There is no prophylaxis for people at high risk of developing COVID-19. It is one of the first clinical studies aiming to investigate the effect of Anatolian Propolis against COVID-19. This study will test whether Anatolian propolis can be used to prevent the development of COVID-19 in people at risk of COVID-19. If Anatolian Propolis has been shown to reduce the risk of developing COVID-19 in people at high risk of infection, this could help reduce the morbidity and mortality of the COVID-19 outbreak. This study will be done in 2 centers. These centers are planned as Atatürk University Medical Faculty Emergency Medicine Clinic and Rize Recep Tayyip Erdoğan University Emergency Medicine Clinic. This work will be done entirely on a voluntary basis. The research subject will be explained to the healthcare professionals (doctor, nurse, medical secretary) working in both emergency medicine clinics and voluntary participation forms will be signed by the healthcare professionals who agree to participate in the study. Health workers who agree to participate in the study will be accepted as the study group, and healthcare professionals who do not agree to participate in the study will be accepted as the control group. The study group will be asked to take 20 drops of Propolis drop form twice a day in the morning / evening and the control group will not receive any treatment and both groups will be followed. In this process, patients diagnosed with COVID-19 will be determined.The study will cover a period of 1 month and at the end of 1 month, patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in the study and control groups will be compared. Thus, the protective properties of Anatolian propolis will be determined.
The respiratory isolation could have a harmful impact on the well-being of patients, especially in a psychological point of view such as anxiety and depression disorders or through the relationship with medical team and/or relatives but also in terms of informations. The evaluation of the impact of respiratory isolation in patients hospitalized for tuberculosis or COVID-19 could allow to identify the different kinds of problems encountered by these patients (physical, psychological, sociological, informations, ...) in order to adapt the environment for efficient care and to improve patient's well-being. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the psychological impact of the respiratory isolation on the quality of life in patients hospitalized for tuberculosis or COVID-19.
Chinese medicine has been used for thousands of years in the treatment of epidemic diseases. Through the long-term struggle with the epidemic, Investigators have accumulated and explored a lot of prevention and control experience. According to recent reports, Chinese medicine plays an important role in the treatment of COVID-19. For example. Therefore, it is of great clinical significance to further develop the prevention of COVID-19 by Chinese medicine. According to the 《Diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19》published by National Health Committee and the experience of professional TCM physician, although the disease is generally susceptible, individuals with the body constitution of "deficiency of Qi and Yang" and "deficiency of Qi and Yin" are more prefer to suffer from COVID-19. Therefore, "Invigorating Qi and Yang, invigorating qi and Yin" can be regarded as the primary strategy of preventing COVID-19. Therefore, "Invigorating Qi and Yang, invigorating qi and Yin" can be regarded as the primary strategy of preventing COVID-19 in Chinese medicine. After a series of questionnaire surveys and blood sample collection, investigators can estimate subjects with body constitution is more likely to infect COVID-19.
There is a theoretical risk that the nasal mucosal dryness caused by oral retinoid medications may increase the risk of patients becoming infected with Covid-19. Isotretinoin is a drug used commonly in dermatology, usually for management of acne and occasionally for management of other dermatological diseases. The most common side effect of oral isotretinoin is mucocutaneous dryness, which can lead to nasal dryness and crusting. Isotretinoin is derived from vitamin A and produces this side effect by arresting the cell cycle of mucus secreting cells in the nasal cavity. The mucus usually secreted moisturises the nasal cavity and provides a protective, lubricating layer overlying the cilia. Cilia and nasal mucous are both believed to have roles in defence against infection and immunity. Hence it was postulated at the start of the pandemic that the effect this medication has on the nasal environment may increase the likelihood of contracting a disease spread by droplet or aerosol particles. In March 2020 we established a departmental Excel database of our patients on oral retinoid medications in order to track those currently receiving treatment. The database includes people taking isotretinoin, alitretinoin and acitretin. The greatest number of patients in this database are in the isotretinoin group and patients taking isotretinoin tend to be a relatively young and fit population. Acitretin on the other hand is often used in an older population who may have other underlying disease comorbidities. There were only a very small number of patients taking alitretinoin in the database. In order to limit confounding variables and provide as clear a result as possible, it was decided to limit this study to comparing the group of patients taking isotretinoin, aged 16-40years, with an age-matched background population from NHS Grampian. This study would examine the electronic patient record of patients aged 16-40years, taking isotretinoin between March and October 2020 and compare their rates of Covid-19 infection, hospitalisation and complications with the rates of the local age-matched background population. Persons taking isotretinoin in the time period would be excluded from the background population. As Covid-19 is a new disease, the existing research literature on this specific topic is extremely limited, and so far this study would be the first in this area.
Due to the pandemic situation, a rapid online survey may be the best method to assess and track people's pandemic cooping. Regarding the huge media influence and the government's restrictions to control the spread of covid-19; it is needed to know more about people's perception and situation to conduct future contentions plans. This study aims to apply a rapid online survey to determine the Spanish situation in this third wave of the pandemic. The survey will be delivered to 1000 participants to obtain a representative sample. It would be divided into six sections (general information, demography data, social and consuming habits, Covi-19 question, questions for Covid-19 positive, and questions for Covid-19 negative).
