Filter by:COVID-19 disease, caused by SARS-CoV-2 first appeared in China, and then spread worldwide. In December 2019, a group of patients with pneumonia of unknown origin were infected after exposure to the market in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. Very quickly, a new coronavirus was isolated from a sample of a patient's lower respiratory tract and the complete genome of the virus was sequenced. This new coronavirus, named Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) for its genetic homology with SARS-CoV, showed a global extension. Thus, on January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced the outbreak of COVID-19 as an international public health threat, and then in March 2020, the global situation escalated to a pandemic. Johns Hopkins University reported over 7,600,000 cases of infection and over 427,000 deaths as of June 13, 2020. Due to the rapid progression of the COVID-19 pandemic and the limited molecular testing capabilities at the laboratory level, the concept of molecular testing for off-site biology examination appears relevant. Indeed, the urgent need for increased testing for COVID-19 has been clearly identified as an essential element of the strategy to combat the coronavirus worldwide. Indeed, COVID-19 represents a major public health problem currently causing rapidly increasing numbers of infections and significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. As of September 3, 2021, more than 200 million people worldwide have been infected with SARS-CoV-2 and more than 4.5 million have died according to data collected by Johns Hopkins University. Early detection with a sensitive COVID-19 technique is essential to ensure rapid and appropriate patient management, contain the epidemic, and better understand the global epidemiology of the virus. To date, laboratory diagnostics have relied primarily on amplification and detection of viral gene sequences in upper respiratory tract specimens performed in a centralized laboratory. A new test (ID NOW COVID-19) is based on isothermal amplification at 56°C of the gene encoding the RdRp RNA polymerase. This molecular biology test can be performed as an off-site medical examination (EBMD), providing a result in less than 13 minutes directly in the clinical department. This rapidity could allow a more rapid management, isolation and "filiarization" of COVID-19 patients. To our knowledge, there is no study available in the literature evaluating the impact of a rapid examination in delocalized biology on the organization of the management of pregnant women in the delivery room. The objective of this work is to evaluate the organizational impact of parturients who have received a rapid test for SARS-CoV-2. The primary objective is to evaluate the impact of the use of the ID NOW COVID-19 test on the length of stay of parturients in the delivery room. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the time to result, time to isolation and user satisfaction.
The AudibleHealth Dx is a diagnostic software as a medical device (Dx SaMD) consisting of an ensemble of software subroutines that interacts with a proprietary database of Signal Data Signatures (SDS), using Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) to analyze forced cough vocalization signal data signatures (FCV-SDS) for diagnostic purposes. This study will evaluate the performance of the AudibleHealth Dx in comparison to a standard of care Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) test for the diagnosis of COVID-19. Bidirectional Sanger sequencing will be used to reduce the rate of false negative and false positive results. A secondary purpose of the study will be usability testing of the device for participants and providers.
The Covid-19 crisis is undoubtedly the most significant event of the early 21st century. The pandemic has profoundly changed our way of life, whether as human beings, but also as patients or caregivers. This pandemic of an incredible magnitude, after having been minimized, blew a wind of fear on the whole world because of the unknown that the SARS-CoV2 virus represented. The world scientific community being destabilized, a great majority of states decided to apply a containment. In France, a strict containment was applied between March 17, 2020 and May 11, 2020 (1 month and 23 days, about 8 weeks). Diabetic and obese patients were designated as "at risk" for infection by COVID 19. Type 2 diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases in general practice. Its regular management, we know, is largely related to lifestyle, which is particularly important in controlling the disease and preventing complications. During the first months of the pandemic, we witnessed many emergency room visits of patients with chronic pathologies, in full decompensation, due to a lack of follow-up but also due to a lack of treatment. After the first containment, in the endocrinology department of the Paris Saint-Joseph hospital, we observed that many patients had a clear imbalance of their diabetes compared to their previous history. The main objective of this study is to show that the COVID-19 pandemic, and more precisely the strict confinement applied in France from March 17, 2020 to May 11, 2020, had an impact on diabetes control in the study population. The secondary objectives are to study the explanatory covariates via the modification of the lifestyle of diabetic patients (decrease in physical activity, increase in poor dietary habits, psychological impact related to the situation, difficulties in accessing care, modification of work arrangements).
This was a randomized, two-armed, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial designed to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a booster dose of an adjuvanted recombinant SARS-CoV-2 spike protein subunit vaccine (SpikoGen) produced by CinnaGen Co. A total of 300 adult individuals received a single dose of either the SpikoGen vaccine or the saline placebo in a 5:1 ratio at 4 to 9 months after the second dose of a COVID-19 vaccine of any type. The injection was given in the deltoid muscle of the non-dominant arm. On day 14, the trial was unblinded, and the participants in the placebo group received a booster dose of the SpikoGen vaccine. For immunogenicity assessments, blood samples were collected on days 0 and 14 from all participants and on days 90 and 180 from those in the vaccine group only. For safety assessments, all participants were followed up for six months. Study hypotheses included: 1. A booster dose of the SpikoGen COVID-19 vaccine is safe and tolerable in adult subjects. 2. A booster dose of the SpikoGen COVID-19 vaccine induces strong immunogenicity against SARS-CoV-2 in adult subjects.

The objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two different doses of raloxifene orally administered compared to placebo in patients with early diagnosis of paucisymptomatic COVID-19. Primary objectives: - Evaluation of the effectiveness of therapy in reducing the proportion of subjects who still have viruses in the upper airways after 7 days of therapy - Evaluation of the effectiveness of therapy in reducing the proportion of subjects who requires supplemental oxygen therapy and/or mechanical ventilation within 14 days of starting therapy Secondary objectives: - Evaluation of the effectiveness of therapy in reducing the proportion of subjects who still have viruses in the upper airways after 14 and 28 days of therapy - Evaluation of the effectiveness of therapy in reducing the proportion of subject patients who requires supplemental oxygen therapy and/or mechanical ventilation within 7 or 28 days of starting therapy - 7, 14 and 28 days drug safety and tolerability profile - Assessment of body temperature, blood and biochemical parameters between T0 and T28
Emerging clinical details of the current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic have illustrated that there are multiple clinical presentations and outcomes of this viral infection. People with an infection have been reported to have a spectrum of disease from severe acute respiratory distress requiring ventilation, to mild respiratory or gastrointestinal symptoms and asymptomatic presentations. The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has been accompanied with a substantial increase in the number of individuals presenting with new onset type 1 diabetes [1]. Most individuals presenting with type 1 diabetes since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic are SARS-CoV-2 antibody positive. These findings suggest that SARS-CoV-2 infection can cause type 1 diabetes. Investigators have identified that many individuals presenting with type 1 diabetes since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic are SARS-CoV-2 positive by swab or blood test. Researchers have also observed that T cells in patients who have had COVID recognise some of the peptides in the pancreatic islet cells, which are responsible for production of insulin. These findings suggest that SARS-CoV-2 infection may be associated with new onset of type 1 diabetes. The aim of this project is to understand the host immune response to infection with SARS-CoV-2 over time in convalescent newly diagnosed patients with type 1 diabetes, including acquired immune responses, gene expression profiling in peripheral blood and to identify host genetic variants associated with disease progressions or severity. Participants will have Type 1 diabetes and will have had a diagnosis of COVID-19 (confirmed by a positive nasopharyngeal swab PCR test and/or SARS-CoV-2 antibody test) and have recovered from COVID-19. Samples will be processed and analysed to explore the molecular mechanisms by which SARS-CoV-2 infection might precipitate immune attack on insulin-producing cells resulting in autoimmune diabetes.
