Introduction: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic scenario, social distancing has become the main strategy to contain this pandemic, causing negative impacts on the physical and mental health of the elderly population. To promote the continuity of offering health services during isolation telerehabilitation was used. Thus, it is important to investigate the effect of a physical exercise program and health education through telerehabilitation on physical and mental aspects in order to establish it as an alternative care for the elderly. Objectives: To evaluate the effect of a program of physical exercises and health education by telerehabilitation on signs of sarcopenia, physical performance, hand grip strength and levels of anxiety, depression and sleep quality in elderly women. Method: In this non-randomized clinical trial, considered a pilot study, eight elderly women (73,00±4,69 years old) will be submitted to 16 weeks of intervention through a program of physical exercise and health education using the Google Meet platform (synchronous online), frequency of 3 weekly sessions and duration of 50' (Initial rest: 5'; Warm-up: 15': Resistance exercises: 20'; Stretching exercises: 5'; Relaxation and final rest: 5'). Before and after the intervention period, the following tests will be applied: SARC-F, Short Physical Performance Battery, hand-grip dynamometry, Geriatric Anxiety Inventory, Geriatric Depression Scale and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. To compare the two moments, the paired Student's T-test or Wilcoxon test (normality assessed by the Shapiro-Wilk test) will be used with p<0.05.
This is a randomized, double-blind , non-inferiority design study, to evaluate the Immunogenicity bridging between different manufacture scales of Recombinant COVID-19 Vaccine (Sf9 Cell) in healthy population aged 18-59 years with immunization procedures 0, 21, 42 days .
A phase Ⅱ, observer-blind, randomized, controlled, investigator-initiated clinical trial to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a booster vaccination with Recombinant COVID-19 vaccine (Sf9 Cell) in a population aged 18 years and above who have completed homologous primary vaccination with either Inactivated or mRNA or Viral Vector COVID-19 vaccines at least 6 months prior to enrolment.
This is a randomized, Phase 3 study comparing the immunogenicity and safety of 3 different lots of Novavax vaccine with Matrix-M™ adjuvant (NVX-CoV2373).The study will enroll approximately 900 previously vaccinated adults 18 to 49 years of age, inclusive.
World Health Organization (WHO) Novel-19 Corrosion Disease (COVID) in 2019 without being used by a pathway caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. After the acute period in COVID-19 patients, muscle weakness may continue in breathing, weakness, and training. The effects on core stabilization, pulmonary functions, respiratory muscle strength, physical activity scores and quality of life in healthy adults who do not have COVID-19 who do regular exercise may be higher than in healthy adults who do regular exercise with COVID-19.
The aim of this study was to quantify the improvement in olfaction of 27 post-COVID-19 patients, after three intreventions of intranasal insulin during a four week period, with the help of the Threshold, Discrimination and Identification (TDI) score evaluated with Sniffin Sticks®.
Background: Background: Testing with antigen-detecting rapid diagnostic tests (Ag-RDTs), including in asymptomatic individuals, has the potential to promptly identify more Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections and consequently decrease spread of coronavirus-19 disease at the community level. In addition, rapid test results are important for immediate clinical management and isolation of patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection, and for contact tracing and quarantining of contacts. Data on SARS-CoV-2 infection rates, the acceptability of Ag-RDT, and the cost of conducting widespread testing in these communities are limited in Africa. Study Aim and Objectives: To generate evidence evaluating the use of Ag-RDTs for community identification of SARS-CoV-2 infections within large gathering venues such as work places, schools, places of worship, and markets. The primary objective is to determine the SARS-CoV-2 case detection rate through a mass testing approach in large gatherings. Secondary objectives include determining the proportion of asymptomatic and symptomatic infections detected, acceptance of mass SARS-CoV-2 Ag-RDT testing, the prevalence of circulating variants, and the cost of implementing this community testing strategy. Study Design: The investigators propose a serial cross-sectional study design targeting approximately 15,000 persons, who will be offered testing in up to 50 different high attendance venues of Kiambu County that will be identified as possible points of community-based transmission. The study will follow an opt-in consent approach, with those accepting to participate providing additional information to the trained research assistant and/or health worker. Outcome: Evidence will be generated to provide recommendations to the Kenya Ministry of Health, and more broadly to inform the field on the use of Ag-RDTs for large scale community screening by identifying best practices and stratifying risk areas for community transmission based on rates of infections detected within various settings.
There is a considerable variability in aldosterone levels between individuals, and this may explain the wide variability in disease severity among those infected so we designed a pilot study to test for the safety and efficacy of fludrocortisone addition to standard of care in hospitalised COVID-19 patients.
Aerobic exercise - Nordic walking in Persistent Covid (PC) vs. healthy controls. The main objective of this study is to analyse the genes associated with increased physical performance in patients with PC vs. healthy controls and to measure the level of lactic acid in blood, pre and post exercise session in patients affected by PC. Relevance: It is intended to be a tool for patients with CP who have not been hospitalised, nor have been offered outpatient rehabilitation treatment. They have not recovered their work, family, sporting or leisure functions. They have particular problems in returning to aerobic exercise. We think that they may need to be accompanied in the recovery of their physical condition under the supervision of health professionals. Most of the studies offered to them are exploratory, not intervention. Our proposal is a 12-week intervention. Our proposal, delves into the mechanisms that may underlie their fatigue and their problems in returning to aerobic exercise, in order to collaborate in approaching possible solutions. Secondary objectives: To study in each of the patients with persistent covid, included in the aerobic Nordic walking programme, their DNA in order to, based on two candidate genes, analyse the role of genetic polymorphisms associated with increased VO2 max training, compared to a healthy control group. To assess the blood lactic acid level pre and post exercise in a group of patients with persistent covid pre and post aerobic Nordic walking programme. Patients and Methods: 33 patients with CP and 33 healthy controls will follow a Nordic walking programme for 12 weeks. QIAGEN Cube automatic extractor and lactic acid meter will be used.
