Filter by:This study will target Madison Metropolitan School District (MMSD) school children ages 4-19 and staff who have not had a previous positive COVID-19 test within the past 3 months. It will enroll children and adults for 1-3 days to explore whether serial "at-home" BinaxNOW testing is feasible and non-inferior to "at school" single PCR testing for the evaluation of symptomatic individuals with a negative initial BinaxNOW. It will also explore whether lollipop swabs are more acceptable and perform as well as nasal swabs with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing.
To determine whether an individually prescribed homeopathic medicine has an effect greater than a placebo and is a viable treatment option to improve fatigue and quality of life for patients suffering from the symptoms of Post-acute COVID-19 Syndrome. The researchers hope to achieve this goal by conducting a clinical trial that is scientifically rigorous and clinically relevant. Expected results of this pilot study will be to obtain sufficient experience and preliminary feasibility data to justify a larger clinical trial of this hypothesis.
AdimrSC-2f is a subunit protein-based vaccine produced using the baculovirus insect cells manufacturing process to prevent Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The primary goal of this Phase I/II study is to evaluate the vaccine safety and immunogenicity of AdimrSC-2f in healthy adult individuals, as compared to placebo.
Inpatient rehabilitation of severe-to-critical COVID-19 patients(A longitudinal, single-center retrospective cohort)
Direct extracorporeal removal of inflammatory mediators with various adsorbents has been suggested as a novel treatment modality for COVID-19 patients. Study determined safety, feasibility and effectiveness of clinical use of a hemoperfusion (HP) with a novel styrene- divinylbenzene copolymer (SDC) adsorbers to remove pro-inflammatory molecules from the bloodstream of COVID-19 patients.
The first COVID-19 case in Turkey was reported on March 11, 2000. National COVID-19 mass vaccination was initiated on Jan 13, 202, with two doses of CoronaVac (R) inactivated vaccine (of Sinovac), 28 days apart. The health personnel were prioritized in the mass vaccination, given their high rates of exposure and fatality. National COVID-19 statistics have been limited to those announced in the media; data breakdown by gender, age, vaccine type and status etc. is not provided, nor is the association between non-pharmaceutical preventive measures (NPPM) and infection rates. Well-planned, longitudinal, detailed studies with laboratory support are clearly warranted. Hacettepe University is a leading institution in Turkey, with its large health sciences campus. Students of medical school (grades 4, 5, and 6) and dental school (grades 4 and 5) have been actively providing patient care in HU Hospitals, and more than 10% of medical interns had been reportedly diagnosed as COVID-19 cases prior to vaccination activities, despite (reportedly) strict non-pharmaceutical public preventive measures (NPPM) use inside/outside the occupational settings. A two-year prospective cohort study was planned for periodic evaluation of students' general health status and COVID-19 risk/exposure/infection, for timely referrals and quarantine/isolation, as needed. Anti- SARS-CoV-2-RBS antibodies will be measured periodically after vaccination, together with evaluation of potential adverse effects, presence and durability of vaccine-induced immunity. Comparison of antibody levels were planned for incident COVID-19 cases and two test-negative controls of the same gender, attending the same grade and faculty. A subcohort will be followed for aymptomatic infection risk. Institutional ethical approvals were obtained, as required. A step-wise informed consent was obtained from all participants, all tests will be done with de-personalized records, and all statistical analyses and reporting will be completed anonymously. Follow-up of participants will be ensured using participant-specific study identification numbers provided at enrollment. Study team is composed of academic personnel of 10 selected departments, nursing support is provided by the Students' Health Center in the Campus, and dental faculty are assigned for obtaining informed during the 4 subsequent study visits. The budget of the study is provided by the Hacettepe University Scientific Research Projects Office (BAP).
This is an observational study aiming at describing COVID-19 vaccination outcomes among HIV-positive and HIV-negative individuals, using electronic health records to observe their usual clinical care. This study will describe levels of COVID-19 vaccine response (i.e., Ig spike antibody measurements). Rates of antibody level decay after vaccination will be assessed. The efficacy of using antibody levels to help guide the timing of booster doses among HIV-negative and HIV-positive patients will be evaluated.
Severe COVID-19 prognostic factors have been studied worldwide throughout the pandemic, but there is considerable variability. Therefore, the investigators will summarize the identified prognostic factors in the international literature and will conduct a retrospective cohort study to identify the prognostic factors of severe COVID-19 in hospitalized patients of the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau in Barcelona (Spain) between March 2020 and February 2021, compare them with those mentioned in the international literature and establish those most adequate to our population.
Aim of this study is to evaluate whether COVID-19 vaccination induces a persistent cellular immune response. To this aim, blood samples are taken from vaccinated individuals and not immunized subjects as a control group. Cells isolated from blood samples are tested in vitro to assess the percentage of spike-specific T and B lymphocytes 1 and 7 months after a second dose of Comirnaty vaccine.
Aim: This study was conducted to determine the effect of listening to music during CPAP on the agitation levels of intensive care patients who underwent CPAP due to COVID-19 and their compliance with the treatment. Study Design: This study is a prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial. Seventy-six intensive care patients with COVID-19 were included in this study and assigned to the music and control groups via the block randomization method. The study was completed with 70 patients. In this study, the patients and outcome assessors were not blinded. The Richmond Agitation and Sedation Scale (RASS) level, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation (SpO2), and mask air leakage amount were the result criteria. Results: The mean RASS score of the patients in the intervention group was 2.14±0.69 before CPAP, 1.63±064 at the 1st minute, 0.89±0.58 at the 15th minute, and 0.74±0.61 at the 30th minute. The mean RASS score of the patients in the control group was 2.06±0.53 before CPAP, 1.80±0.58 at the 1st minute, 1.43±0.60 at the 15th minute, and 1.46±0.61 at the 30th minute of CPAP. There was a statistically significant difference between the groups at the 15th and 30th minutes (t=-3.81, p < .001; t=-4.89, p < .001, respectively).
