Filter by:Non-invasive ventilation can allow to avoid intubation and improve outcomes in moderate-to-severe COVID-19-associated acute respiratory distress-syndrome (ARDS). Data on NIV parameters adjustment based on expanded respiratory and gas exchange monitoring in COVID-19 associated ARDS is limited. Appropriate adjustment of the inspiratory positive airway pressure (IPAP) set as a point of the balance between minimal work of breathing (minimum point of W.Patrick scale for assessment of the accessory respiratory muscles and minimum diaphragm thickening fraction) and minimum tidal volume, and respiratory rate can decrease NIV failure in moderate-to-severe COVID-ARDS. The objective of the study is to evaluate the ability of non-invasive ventilation guided with expanded respiratory monitoring to decrease the intubation rate in in moderate-to-severe COVID-ARDS.
COVID-19 is associated with a cytokine storm that leads to respiratory distress, multiorgan failure and elevated mortality. Oral Colchicine exhibits high anti-inflammatory capacity attributed to the inhibition of microtubules polymerization, inflammasome and production of IL-1β and IL-6, which could prevent the inflammatory storm in COVID-19 patients at risk. The investigators present a randomized, controlled, open-labeled, and pragmatic clinical trial to study the treatment effect of Colchicine in COVID-19 patients requiring hospitalization, but no intensive care yet. Colchicine will be started within the first 48 hours and continue for 14 days using a descending dose. The benefits will be studied in terms of clinical evolution (WHO 7-point scale) and IL-6 levels, as well as other clinical and biochemical secondary end-points. In the case of positive results, the clinical impact would be relevant given that this oral medication is affordable and widely accessible which would help to prevent the inflammatory complications associated with COVID-19.
Prospective samples will be collected to evaluate the agreement between a EUA RT-PCR test as the comparator method against the Nanomix eLab® system.
Observational studies have shown that prone position (PP) in spontaneously breathing patients, may improve oxygenation in individuals with Acute Respiratory Failure (ARF), due to Covid-19 infection. None so far have evaluated the clinical efficacy of this approach on the patients' outcomes and in a randomised control fashion
This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to evaluate two polypore mushrooms, Fomitopsis officinalis and Trametes versicolor (FoTv), to treat COVID-19-positive outpatients with mild-to-moderate symptoms assigned to self-quarantined and home management. The study aims to establish the safety and feasibility of the use of FoTv vs placebo in 66 total subjects.
This is a prospective comparative cohort trial taking place during the first year of the Coronavirus-19 (COVID-19) pandemic in Spain. Chiropractic patients throughout Spain were invited to participate independently of the care received, including patients who had stopped visiting their chiropractors since the pandemic hit. The main exposure variable is the access to chiropractic care services, and the degree of this exposure during the months following initial lockdown phase in Spain. Participants will fill an online questionnaire with self-reported outcome-measures.
Multicentre, retrospective, observational study to describe the course of SARS-CoV-2 disease in patients treated or not with IMUNO TF ® and a combination of nutraceuticals and who have tested positive in a COVID-19 diagnostic test based on the duration of symptoms.
The primary objective of the study is to assess the virologic efficacy of REGN10933+REGN10987 across different intravenous and subcutaneous doses compared to placebo. The secondary objectives of the study are: - To evaluate additional indicators of virologic efficacy of REGN10933+REGN10987 compared to placebo - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of REGN10933+REGN10987 compared to placebo - To assess the concentrations of REGN10933 and REGN10987 in serum over time - To assess the immunogenicity of REGN10933 and REGN10987
In the TB TRIAGE+ ACCURACY study, the accuracy of the following products will be determined: - CAD4TB (Delft Imaging System, NL), a digital chest x-ray analysis software - Afinion CRP assay (Alere Afinion, USA), which detects a cytokine induced acute phase protein CAD4TB and the C-reactive protein assay are two tests with great potential of becoming a triage test for the diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB). These potential triage tests for TB are intended to serve as rule-out tests with a high sensitivity and negative predictive value. Before impact and cost-effectiveness of new TB triage tests for intensified active case finding can be determined, the diagnostic test accuracy needs to be assessed in comparison to confirmatory reference tests. This accuracy study will define cut-off values for CAD4TB as well as for the Afinion CRP assay to be used in a future cluster-randomised trial on impact and cost-effectiveness of TB triage strategies for intensified active case finding in Lesotho and KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. A sub-study (detailed in a separate study protocol), hereafter called AHD-FEASIBILITY, explores the feasibility of implementing a series of point-of-care tests, including the new VISITECT CD4 Advanced Disease Test (Omega Diagnostics, UK) as part of the WHO-recommended advanced HIV Disease care package in the context of community-based HIV/TB campaigns. Due to the coinciding pandemics and the overlapping symptoms of TB and COVID-19, it is critical to test for SARS-Cov-2 infections in the study population. In addition, this study will contribute to the evaluation of a novel SARS-Cov-2 antigen rapid diagnostic test (from the diagnostic pipeline of FIND) and CAD4COVID, a digital chest x-ray analysis software (Delft Imaging System, NL) in combination with differential white blood cell count.
The current COVID-19 pandemic has brought many challenges with implications for wellbeing and mental health. The Southampton Women's Survey provides the opportunity to understand influences on these important outcomes amongst women and their offspring in the context of an established longitudinal cohort study.
