Filter by:Randomized, double-blind prospective trial to test the efficacy and acceptability of therapeutic, antiseptic mouth rinses to inactivate severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) in saliva of COVID-19 positive patients aged 18-65 years old. All mouthrinses are commercially available and will be used according to on-label instructions. Patients will be randomized to a mouthrinse and will be asked to give a saliva sample immediately before and after a one minute mouthwash. Saliva samples will be collected from patients at 15 minute intervals thereafter up to an hour (15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes). The samples will be stored and used for real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) detection of viral SARS-CoV-2 RNA and viral infectivity assays. Patients will also complete a short-survey on the taste and experience of using the mouthwash. This study involves 480 subject participants and one, 75-90 minute visit.
This is a longitudinal study of the long-term impact of COVID-19 on the lungs. Participants will be followed over a period of up to 4 years and impacts of COVID-19 on the lungs will be measured with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using hyperpolarized xenon-129, pulmonary function tests, exercise capacity, computed tomography imaging and questionnaires.
This study examines the presence, severity and natural history of dysphagia and dysphonia in the post-extubation and severely unwell COVID-19 patient.
COVID-19 as a novel disease, different disease patterns were observed worldwide, and many treatment plans were tried. So, it is important to investigate the Egyptian clinical characteristics and different factors that determine the patient's 'outcome
This is a prospective study involving 50 patients, with acute SARS-CoV-2 infection and a positive RNA detection. Men will give semen, saliva, urine and blood specimens following RT-PCR diagnosis and 15, 30, 60 and 90 days after. SARS-CoV-2 RNA will be detected in seminal plasma, native semen cells and processed spermatozoa. The purpose of this study is to seek the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in semen, to determine its localization and infectiousness and to assess the efficiency of spermatozoa processing methods to obtain virus free spermatozoa.
evaluation of the efficacy and safety of D-dimer adjusted heparin versus therapeutic dose heparin in patients with COVID-19 Pneumonia.
Given the urgency of having guidelines for the management of COVID-19 in the current epidemic context and the lack of specific pharmacological treatment, Military Health recommends the launch of a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, interventional clinical trial. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a combination of two treatments, low-dose doxcycline (100 mg/day) and Zinc (15 mg/day) (dietary supplement) in the primary prevention of COVID-19 infection in health care professionals in Tunisia compared to two control groups.
The purpose of this study is to assess whether immunosuppressive therapies used by patients with chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases have an impact on the viral load and the humoral and cellular responses during viral infection with SarSCoV2, compared to members of their family cluster infected with the same viral strain.
The new type of Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) epidemic puts great pressure on health systems around the world. A large number of people are hospitalized in intensive care units due to acute respiratory distress syndrome due to SARS-CoV-2. Common symptoms seen with SARS-CoV-2 include fever, cough, and dyspnea, as well as pneumonia, severe acute respiratory distress syndrome, renal failure, and even death. Many patients develop mild to moderate disease without pneumonia. The respiratory condition of some patients continues to worsen gradually and develop acute respiratory distress syndrome, which usually requires mechanical ventilation support. Exercise capacity and health status of individuals who survived severe acute respiratory distress syndrome are lower than the general population. Persistent physical, cognitive, and psychosocial disorders can be seen in people who have survived acute respiratory distress syndrome. Given the clinical and radiological heterogeneity of COVID-19, it is important to have a simple tool for the disease to monitor the course of symptoms and the impact of symptoms on patients' functional status. Klok FA et al. developed the Post-COVID-19 Functional Status Scale (PCFS). PCFS can be evaluated for functional sequelae after discharge from the hospital, at 4 and 8 weeks after discharge, to directly monitor recovery, and at 6 months. The aim of this study is to investigate the validity and reliability of PCFS in Turkish population. Research permission to investigate the validity and reliability of PCFS in the Turkish population was obtained from the developer of the PCFS.
The human immune system is enhanced by exposure to infrared radiation with the wavelength of 5 microns to 20 microns. Humans, at normal body temperature, radiate most strongly in the infrared at a wavelength of about 10 microns. Infrared energy sustains life and can be used to treat and prevent diseases, including Covid-19 infections. High temperature within the fever range obtained from infrared radiation causes the killer T-Cells to profilate. The Killer T-Cells improves ones immune system. The high temperature kills the Corona virus. In addition, multi-vitamins and minerals including high doses of Vitamin C, increase one's immune system. Vitamin C is an anti-oxidant, produces hydrogen peroxide and removes free radicals from the body. Pre-clinical trials conducted in Houston, Texas, using Vitality Therapy or the Bible Cure were successful in curing Covid-19 infections. It is therefore possible that Vitality Therapy or the Bible Cure can be used for the successful prevention and treatment of coronavirus infections.
