Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to compare a short course of antibiotics in patients in whom no bacterial infection is found with the current "golden standard": long-term antibiotic treatment in adult hematology patients who develop neutropenic fever. The main question it aims to answer is: whether the short-term treatment is equally safe for patients, hence the name 'SAFE study'. Participants will be randomly assigned (randomized) to one of two treatment options once they develop neutropenic fever: short-term or long-term antibiotic treatment. An additional blood sample, urine sample and stool sample will be collected. Researchers will compare the short-term and the long-term antibiotic treatment groups to see if the short treatment is equally safe as the long-term treatment group.
No antiviral treatment exists for yellow fever, only supportive care, and therefore we rely on prevention through vaccination. Although this vaccine is very effective, stockpiles are insufficient in outbreak situations and some people have a contraindication to be vaccinated. For those who are unprotected and at risk of yellow fever infection, treatment could be life saving.
The aim of this study is to investigate whether the application of concomitant modulated electro-hyperthermia in a neoadjuvant chemotherapeutic setting is beneficial for patients with HER2-negative, stage II-III breast cancer.
A Phase 2 Randomized, Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Immunogenicity of rVSV∆G-LASV-GPC Vaccine in Adults and Children Residing in West Africa
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) in 2011 published a clinical practice guideline defining a febrile seizure as "a seizure accompanied by fever (temperature ≥ 100.4°F or 38°C by any method), without central nervous system infection, that occurs in infants and children 6 through 60 months of age." Febrile seizures are further classified as simple (generalized in onset, last less than 15 minutes, and do not occur more than once in 24 hours.) or complex (FS duration longer than 15 min, repeated convulsions within the same day, and focal seizure activity or focal findings during the postictal period.).
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the immune response to the yellow fever vaccine 17D in adults with prior 17D vaccination. The main questions this study aims to answer are: - how does prior vaccination affect antibody responses to re-vaccination? - how does prior vaccination affect the immune cell response to re-vaccination? Participants will: - have been previously vaccinated with 17D. - be re-vaccinated with 17D. - provide medical and travel histories. - provide a blood sample prior to vaccination - provide a blood sample approximately every other day for 14 days after vaccination. - provide a blood sample approximately 28 days after vaccination. - complete a daily diary of symptoms following vaccination for 14 days. - report any additional symptoms after 14 days.
The purpose of this study is to assess the gastrointestinal responses of the elderly during hyperthermia.
Fever is a frequent cause of admission to the Emergency Department (ED) around the world. While it can be caused by a wide range of conditions, the most effective treatment based on its etiology is still undetermined. This observational, prospective, single-center study enrolled adult patients who accessed the ED for fever, with the aim to define the most effective treatment for them.
This is a prospective, non-randomized data collection study to evaluate the performance of the Masimo INVSENSOR00063 in obtaining temperature measurements.
Infections are a common complication in patients with cancer. They are a significant cause of complications and death in this population. Patients with cancer and low neutrophil counts due to chemotherapy or disease often have a fever and receive antibiotic treatment. The optimal duration of this treatment is largely unknown. Late, there have been some data suggesting the safety of early discontinuation of antibiotics, though most centers still give more prolonged antibiotic therapies in this situation. The unnecessary prolonged antibiotic use may increase infections with multi-drug-resistant bacteria, which carry a high death rate. Also, an increase in infections caused by Clostridioides difficile and an increase in fungal infections can happen. However, some are concerned that stopping antibiotics while the neutrophil count is still low will result in life-threatening infections. Our study aims to test whether shorter antibiotic treatment in these situations is as safe as more prolonged treatment, resulting in better antibiotic prescription practices in this population.
