Filter by:The aims of the BIBS Study The Brain Imaging in Babies study (BIBS) aims to improve understanding of how a baby's brain develops from before birth, up until 3-4 years of age. Working with children from a variety of backgrounds and communities, the investigators use a combination of state-of-the-art diagnostic tools such as MRI scans alongside traditional behavioural assessments to capture the earliest information on infant brain development. The focus of the BIBS study MRI scanning is a safe way of producing detailed images using strong magnetic fields and radio waves. It does not use X-ray. Along with learning more about brain development in general, the investigators also try to identify features that may in future help predict whether a child will or will not develop traits of conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Long-term, this may help target useful interventions early on, helping children who are most in need. Since COVID-19 arrived in the United Kingdom (U.K.) in 2020, the investigators have been given ethical approval to include testing for this infection in the mothers and children participating in the study. This may provide an opportunity to better understand how mother and baby respond to infections. The investigators particularly welcome mothers who have had a positive COVID-19 test during their pregnancy to join the study.
By applying polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test for Covid-19 to preeclampsia patients who applied to our hospital during the Covid-19 pandemic period, we investigated the frequency of Covid-19 related preeclampsia-like syndrome in this patient group.
By the end of 2019 a new coronavirus, named SARS-CoV-2, was discovered in patients with pneumonia in Wuhan, China. In the following weeks and months the virus spread globally, having a tremendous impact on global health and economy. To date, no vaccine or therapy is available. Severe courses of the infection not only affect the lungs, but also other organs like the heart, kidney, or liver. The lack of preexisting immunity might at least partially explain the affection of extra pulmonary organs not yet seen in infections due to other respiratory viruses. In this observational investigation the study group will follow up on patients that have been hospitalized due to a SARS-CoV-2 infection, and monitor sequelae in various organs, with an emphasis on the pulmo-cardiovascular system. Our that in some patients, organ damage will persist and require long-term medical care.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of NasoVAX in preventing worsening of symptoms and hospitalization in patients with early COVID-19.
Patients who are ill with COVID-19 may benefit from receiving convalescent plasma infusions containing antibodies from donors who have recovered from the disease and are proven to no longer be infected. Given the current public health emergency due to COVID-19, the FDA has recently fast-tracked the use of convalescent plasma. The purpose for this study is to assess if convalescent plasma collected from donors previously infected with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes COVID-19, can provide clinical benefit to those acutely ill with the virus and to evaluate if such treatment is safe. There will be two arms in the interventional study, where subjects will either be treated with convalescent plasma or fresh frozen plasma in a randomized and blinded manner. As an additional comparison, the clinical course of subjects enrolled during the period of the study who do not receive an alternative treatment for COVID-19 will be assessed.
Comparison of the effects of CYT107 vs Placebo administered IM at 10μg/kg twice a week for three weeks on immune reconstitution of lymphopenic COVID-19 patients
A population-based COVID19 surveillance in a household cohort will be set-up using an existing Household demographic surveillance system (HDSS). From any individual in this population with any respiratory symptom or loss of smell or taste, with or without fever, investigators will collect a respiratory specimen and test these for SARS-CoV-2 virus, during 12 months. Demographic, epidemiological and clinical data of possible cases and of the source population will be recorded at baseline. An age-stratified serial sero-survey will be conducted at baseline in a subset of the population in the population-based COVID19 surveillance, and at 3, 6 and 12 months, after confirmation of community transmission.
This proposed study will assess how COVID-19 and the associated 'stay at home' orders are affecting low-income Rwandan couples' relationships and family dynamics. The study builds on an existing randomized controlled trial of the Bandebereho fathers/couples intervention (NCT02694627), which will allow us to assess not only the current conditions in households, but also whether or how the significant impacts of the intervention are sustained under extreme stress.
The purpose of this study is to define seroprevalence of anti-SARS-CoV2 among children of Hospital Workers in APHP, particularly exposed population, according to parents' SARS-CoV2 serological status.
The purpose of this study is to find out if immunization with IMM-101 will reduce the incidence of severe respiratory and COVID-19 infections in cancer patients.
