Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether Ingavirin® 90 mg once daily is effective and safe for the treatment of influenza and other laboratory confirmed acute respiratory viral infections in the course of standard therapy in patients 18-60 years old.
It is well known that "over-treatment" of straightforward infections should be avoided as far as possible. Evidence-based data on non antibiotic treatment options for common conditions are therefore needed urgently. This randomised-controlled double blind trial examines whether initial herbal treatment with Uva Ursi, and antibiotic treatment only if symptoms persist, reduces antibiotic consumption in uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTI) without a negative effect on symptom course and rate of recurrent UTIs. In total, 430 patients presenting with typical UTI symptoms will be included by their GPs and receive randomised either herbal treatment with uva ursi (antibiotics only if symptoms persist), or initial antibiotic treatment. Patients record symptom severity and drug intake in a diary and complete a final questionnaire after 28 days.
Helicobacter pylori is a Gram-negative bacterium with a helical bacillus shape that it's able to penetrate and colonize the stomach mucosal lining by infecting it. The eradication treatment of H. pylori is supported by numerous consensus groups worldwide and it is generally safe and well tolerated. Standard treatment is based on multiple drug regimens. However, its effectiveness has been increasingly compromised due to the emergence of resistant strains, as well as poor adherence to treatment. Therefore, it's proposed a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study whose aims are: 1. Determine whether the combination of two probiotic strains of L reuteri (Gastrus) will improve gastrointestinal symptoms when associated with four-way therapy (of any type). 2. Prove whether supplementation with Gastrus (food supplement) versus Placebo is able to reduce the gastrointestinal adverse effects of quadruple eradication therapy. They will be determined by the GSRS gastrointestinal symptom scale in routine clinical practice.
This is a Phase I, single-center, open-label, fixed-sequence, 2-period crossover study in healthy adults to evaluate the effect of oral rifabutin (RBT) 300 milligram (mg) on the pharmacokinetics of oral cabotegravir (CAB) 30 milligram ( mg). This study will evaluate the drug-drug interaction (DDI) potential between CAB and RBT to inform dosing strategies for tuberculosis in subjects receiving CAB for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) treatment or prevention. In Treatment Period 1 (Treatment A) participants will receive CAB 30 mg once daily for 14 days, followed by Treatment Period 2 (Treatment B) where participants will receive RBT 300 mg once daily with CAB 30 mg once daily for 14 days. The total study duration will be approximately for 10 weeks. Approximately 15 healthy subjects will be enrolled to ensure that 12 subjects complete dosing and critical assessments.
The purpose of the main study is to describe the incidence of influenza virus and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in adults hospitalized with acute respiratory tract infection (ARTI) during the influenza/RSV season, and the purpose of the substudy is to describe the clinical and economic burden in adults hospitalized with confirmed influenza/RSV infection.
Diaphyseal femoral and tibial fractures are in the spotlight within the traumatology-orthopedics scenario. Intramedullary nailing (IMN) remains the method of choice for treating these fractures, both open and closed ones. Occurrences of surgical site infection (SSI) related to this type of osteosynthesis are a challenge for all the professionals involved in patient healthcare. The reported incidence of SSI after IMN ranges from 0.9 to 17.5%. The majority of the data comes from retrospective studies and as part of case series descriptions, with little detail about the criteria used for defining and searching for cases of infection. Regarding the potential risk factors for this complication, previous use of external fixators, occurrence of open fractures and the severity of exposure according to the Gustilo-Anderson classification were indicated in a few retrospective studies as being possibly related to this complication. The objectives of the present observational cohort study are: 1. To determine the incidence of SSI related to IMN for fixation of diaphyseal femoral and tibial fractures in patients treated in a university traumatology and orthopedics reference hospital in São Paulo, Brazil; 2. To evaluate the risk factors related to the occurrence of this type of infection.
This is a randomised double-blinded placebo-controlled phase IV trial with two parallel treatment groups receiving either immune nutrition diet (IND) or conventional diet for 2weeks peri-radical cystectomy. Patients will be stratified according to the gender, body mass index, and the type of urinary diversion (orthotopic neobladder or ileal conduit). The primary end-point is to determine, in intention to treat analysis, the influence of IND on 90-day postoperative morbidity. Secondary study end-points will be the effect of IND on infectious as well as non-infectious complications over 90 days, compliance and adverse effects of IND. Finally, an ancillary study will be performed to evaluate whether the IND costs could counterbalance, by its benefits, the health care costs.It is envisaged to finish patients' recruitment within 24 months
The investigators will analyze biomarkers related to the prognosis and treatment of necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTI). The focus will be on whether certain endothelial and immune system biomarkers can function as markers of disease severity, mortality as well as the effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). Biomarkers will be measured upon admission to an intensive care unit at Copenhagen University Hospital and during the following 3 days.
The main purpose of this clinical study is to see if a maintenance dose of GEN-003 reduces the number of days that subjects have a genital herpes recurrence. The second purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a maintenance dose of GEN-003.
The purpose of this study is to assess the validity and reproducibility of the MP Diagnostics HTLV Blot 2.4 in blood specimens testing repeat reactive (RR) on the first FDA licensed screening assay (Abbott Prism) and non-reactive (NR) on the second FDA licensed screening assay (Avioq ELISA).
