Filter by:A study to evaluate chronic hepatitis C infection in cirrhotic adults with genotype 1b infection.
This study will include women who will undergo pelvic reconstructive surgery and/or anti-incontinence sling procedures. Patients will be randomized to the combination of L-methionine, Hibiscus Sabdariffa and Boswellia Leaf Extract in tablet or placebo twice a day during the seven days before and after surgery (total of 14 days). In this randomized, double-blind study, the investigators will assess treatment of clinically suspected or culture-proven urinary tract infections within 3 weeks of surgery (primary outcome), and risk factors for treatment for postoperative urinary tract infections (secondary outcomes) between the two study groups.
The goals of this project are 1) to assess the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the checklist to prevent MRSA SSIs among Veterans undergoing TJA or cardiac surgery, and 2) to assess barriers and facilitators to checklist implementation. Hypotheses: 1. The SSI checklist will be effective at reducing MRSA SSIs among total joint arthroplasty and cardiac surgery patients. 2. Implementation of the checklist will be associated with an overall reduction in SSIs caused by all pathogens. 3. The SSI Checklist will be cost-saving since it will prevent many expensive SSIs. 4. Preoperative MRSA testing will be a modifiable barrier to implementing the SSI checklist.
This is an open-label evaluation of the safety, tolerability immunogenicity and efficacy of the PfSPZ Vaccine administered by Direct Venous Inoculation (DVI) in healthy, malaria-naïve subjects. There will be 3 groups and a total of 69 subjects (45 immunized subjects and 24 infectivity controls).
The study aims to describe the characteristics and the methods of management and follow-up of patients treated with fidaxomicin for Clostridium difficile infection (CDI).
Babies aged 0 to 90 days with a suspected infection requiring treatment with vancomycin will be recruited. They will be randomised to receive vancomycin as an intermittent infusion (over 1 hour) or as a continuous infusion (over 24 hours). The hypothesis is that administering vancomycin as a continuous infusion will result in improved attainment of target concentrations in blood at steady state (when the drug is in equilibrium) compared to intermittent infusion.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the consumption of a nutritional supplement with micronutrients and herbal extracts has an effect on the incidence of acute respiratory infections in susceptible adults. Our hypothesis is that subjects who consume the nutritional supplement will have a lower incidence and duration of acute respiratory infections in comparison with the placebo group.
This study will assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and anti-viral effect of single and multiple doses of ALS-008176 in infants hospitalized with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)
The primary objectives of this study are to compare the efficacy of treatment with sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) fixed-dose combination (FDC) for 12 weeks with that of sofosbuvir (SOF) + ribavirin (RBV) for 24 weeks and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of each treatment regimen in participants with chronic genotype 3 hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) fixed dose combination (FDC) for 12 weeks in adults with chronic genotype 1, 2, 4, 5, or 6 hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
