Filter by:The study investigates whether patients with mild SARS-CoV-2 infection, who stayed at home during their infection and weren't hospitalized, have any persisting sequelae in pulmonary function. Therefore, 110 patients, aged 6-60 years, were recruited by telephone 4-12 weeks after laboratory-confirmed positive PCR and invited for a lung function testing. Every patient with abnormalities in pulmonary function was invited to a follow-up 3 months after the first appointment to assess changes in lung function values. Patients with a pre-existing lung disease and smokers within the last five years were excluded beforehand. Additionally to lung function testing we did a throat swab at each appointment to analyse via Multiplex PCR whether the patients had any other respiratory infection at the time of the pulmonary function testing.
To explore the safety and efficacy of daily doses of celecoxib + valacyclovir in the treatment of patients with prolonged symptoms caused by COVID-19.
Rationale: In COVID19 single-targeted immunomodulation, mostly via an IL-6 receptor blocker, was used by a one-size fits all non-targeted approach. In future pandemics the same might occur. However, for individual patients, this might not yield optimal treatment. Objectives: This project aims to identify a way to individualize and target immunomodulation, using COVID19 as a testcase for the future. - Identify immunological pathways which are associated with outcome in C-ARDS. - Test whether an individualized biomarker-based approach has an effect on outcome and costs when using single-target immunomodulation in C-ARDS(Tocilizumab, Anakinra, etc.). - Explore whether other immunological pathways were present in patients with C-ARDS which could have been intervened with medication which is already available and has been described in ARDS or similar diseases. Study type: Retrospective observational multicenter study in the Netherlands. Study population: Adult patients (≥ 18 years) hospitalized and admitted to the ICU with COVID-19 and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) (i.e., receiving invasive mechanical ventilation) will be included. Intervention (if applicable): Not applicable (retrospective study design). Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: Given the retrospective nature of the study, no burden, risks or benefits for the patient are associated with participation. The target population of this study is specific to hospitalized patients with COVID-19.
The primary objective of this study is to determine, in unblinded samples, whether artificial intelligence can classify specific blood RNA from patients with long COVID together and separately from apparently healthy normals and other medical conditions which share signs and symptoms of long COVID.
Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) is primarily recognized as a childhood pathogen, but its impact on adults remains largely underestimated. This study investigates the prevalence, clinical characteristics, and post-COVID-19 trends of HMPV infection among adults in Istanbul, Turkey.
As the fifth wave of COVID-19 comes to an end and the pandemic's countermeasures expire, there is a need to assess the impact of the pandemic on health care providers, especially midwives, as the professionals deputed to promote and protect women's holistic health, in all phases, physiological and otherwise, of the life cycle. The midwife considers the person as a whole, in which the mind-body-culture components interact profoundly. Prevention and containment measures have impacted on midwifery clinical and nursing practices with the mandatory continuous use of personal protective equipments (PPE) and social distancing to protect the patient and the practitioner, effectively hindering the intimacy of the woman-midwife relationship. The impact assessment focuses on two dimensions: learning, investigated as perceived empowerment, and perceived malaise, investigated as burnout. Empowerment has a positive connotation, which can offset burnout, a syndrome that affects the physical, psychological and emotional health of midwives and can have significant negative implications on midwife turnover, patient safety and outcomes, and the efficiency of healthcare organisations.
This study is a platform protocol designed to be flexible so that it is suitable for a wide range of settings within health care systems and in community settings where it can be integrated into COVID-19 programs and subsequent treatment plans. This protocol is a prospective, multi-center, multi-arm, randomized, controlled platform trial evaluating various interventions for use in the treatment of autonomic dysfunction symptoms, including cardiovascular complications and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), in PASC participants. The interventions tested will include non-pharmacologic care and pharmacologic therapies with study drugs.

This is an experimental study without drug and device, non-profit, single-center. The general objective of the project is to study how the adaptive immune response evolves against SARS-CoV-2 with repeated vaccination boosters and infections also in relation to the evolution of variations. This study will be relevant to frail populations who are the main targets of repeated vaccinations. Our project will benefit from the availability of a highly cohort characterized of vaccinated people, including cancer patients and elderly people, with prospective collection of samples for an in-depth evaluation of the evolution of the immune response with repeated exposure to doses of infection or vaccine. As part of the study, analyzes will be carried out on samples of patients enrolled in a manner prospective at the oncology departments of the IRCCS (Medical Oncology, Department of Radiotherapy advanced oncology and nuclear medicine) and elderly patients residing in retirement homes of the IRCCS. Patients will also be asked for consent to store any residual samples in the Tropica DITM Biobank.
