Filter by:This is a Phase 2 study of the safety and efficacy of Intravenous (IV) Ribavirin in treating patients presenting with a probable or suspected case of viral hemorrhagic fever (either Crimean Congo or Lassa Fever) at a military medical treatment hospital. All patients will be treated with a 10 day course of IV Ribavirin if they meet all the inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria.
The purpose of this study is to obtain safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity data on the co-administration or sequential administration of Chimeravax™-JE vaccine and STAMARIL®. Objectives: Safety: - Obtain safety and tolerability data of a single, fixed dose of ChimeriVax™-JE administered concurrently, one month before or one month after STAMARIL® to adult volunteers (≥ 18 to ≤ 55 years) without prior Japanese encephalitis (JE) or yellow fever (YF) vaccination. Immunogenicity: - Obtain data on the antibody response to a single, fixed dose of ChimeriVax™-JE administered concurrently, one month before or one month after STAMARIL® to adult volunteers without prior JE (or YF) vaccination. - Assess the durability of the immune response in adult volunteers 6 months after administration of ChimeriVax™-JE and STAMARIL®.
Our primary hypothesis is that the Draeger dual-sensor temperature monitoring system, used at the forehead, is sufficiently accurate compared to tympanic, bladder or esophageal temperature and oral temperature for routine clinical use during hypothermic conditions , as well as during fever.
The purpose of this study is triple, i.e. document single dose pharmacokinetics and -dynamics of intravenous paracetamol in preterm and term neonates after a loading dose (20 mg/kg iv bolus paracetamol), document multiple dose pharmacokinetics and -dynamics of intravenous paracetamol in preterm and term neonates, based on the daily doses routinely used within the neonatal intensive care unit and as reported in literature. Finally, document safety of single and repeated dose of intravenous paracetamol in preterm and term neonates.
A Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of peramivir administered intravenously in addition to standard of care compared to standard of care alone in adults and adolescents who are hospitalized due to serious influenza.
Scientific background: Bronchoscopy is a procedure commonly performed in the management of persistent respiratory illness. In the last decades this exam has become a routine and safe procedure even in children and there are few side-effects. However, one known side effect is transient fever and even high fever a few hours after the bronchoscopy. This side effect is not dangerous but very uncomfortable for the patients and it would be interesting to try to reduce this phenomena. This fever is due to a release of cytokines during the broncho-alveolar lavage procedure and not to sepsis. In a previous study a single dose of dexamethasone was shown to prevent the fever post bronchoscopy with no apparent detriment to the child. It is well known that steroids are immunosuppressive. Even though the post-bronchoscopy fever is not caused by an infection, it seems preferable to use other anti-inflammatory drugs to fight this very inconvenient side effect. Ibuprofen (Nurofen*) is known as an effective medication to reduce fever in infectious illnesses and is even considered as superior to paracetamol. It has no immunosuppressive effect and is usually well tolerated by children with very few side effects when taken in the normal therapeutic dose of 10mg/Kg. The investigators postulate that a dose of Nurofen prior to bronchoscopy could significantly reduce fever post bronchoscopy.
Dengue virus is an arbovirus transmitted by mosquitoes which causes significant morbidity and mortality among children in tropical regions, especially in resource limited countries. The objective of this protocol is to compare the sensitivity and specificity of clinical gestalt and two rapid antigen tests for dengue virus and to compare the gene expression of leukocytes in distinct dengue fever disease phenotypes module-based RNA microarray technology.
The purpose of this study was to define and classify antibacterial agents used in Turkey for patients with febrile neutropenia.
The purpose of this multination multicenter observational study is to determine the impact of fever and antipyretic on outcomes in critically ill patients.
The study will evaluate the efficacy of Ibuprofen administered as suppositories in the treatment of fever in infants and children. Ibuprofen as suppositories is not yet registered in Israel, although widely used in Europe.
