Filter by:This randomized clinical trial will conducted involving 60 patients under hemodialysis and hospitalized to Imam Reza and Montasareyeh hospitals of Mashhad in 2016. Patients were assigned to experimental and control groups of 30 people, randomly (double block). In the both intervention and control group, first will be washed the Catheter with Betadine, but in intervention group, after 2 minutes will be used of the clove extract with 2 ml of scrub for 15 seconds. The incidence and severity of inflammation as well as infection of vascular access will be assessed in patients on hemodialysis for each patient before starting the process over a period of 2 weeks is equivalent to 6 sessions of hemodialysis.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of accelerated cross-linking (Avedro Inc., Waltham, USA) in the management of microbial keratitis as adjunctive therapy.
MET-2 clinical study is an Open label, single center, multiple dose pilot study of 19 patients. The study is designed to measure the resolution of diarrhea as well as the feasibility of administration and safety of MET-2 for the treatment of recurrent CDI in patients who have experienced at least two prior episodes of CDI and have developed recurrence after having completed standard-of care oral antibiotic therapy to treat CDI.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) are involved in up to 95 % of anal canal neoplastic lesions. Little is known about HPV carriage in anal canal previous to cancer occurrence in the population and pre-neoplastic lesions, and their risk factors. PAPILLAN is a prospective study that aims to study HPV infection (HPV low grade and high grade genotypes) prevalence in anal canal in a population non selected by its HIV status. In that purpose patients are prospectively recruited in a french university hospital gastroenterology unit and anal smears are collected during a colonoscopy with cytobrush.
A three-arm, multi-site clinical evaluation of the ARIES Bordetella Assay for the detection and identification of Bordetella pertussis (B. pertussis) and Bordetella parapertussis (B. parapertussis) nucleic acids in prospectively collected, de-identified, left-over clinical specimens; banked, pre-selected clinical specimens; and contrived specimens.
It exists recommendations to get an optimal antibiotic treatment for bone and joint infection and prescription of antibiotics in the bone and joint infections on material meets certain obligations: the micro-organism must be known, the antibiotic therapy must be started in association, obtaining high plasma levels, use of molecules having good bone circulation. It is recommended to initially administer treatment with intravenous route and to propose an oral relay, under conditions. It is recommended to administer the antibiotic treatment for at least 6 weeks. The dosages of antibiotics are adapted to the weight of patients in order to respond to those recommendations. But little is known about the optimal dose of treatment to give to obese patients (BMI>=30) and the frequency of serious adverse events in these patients in which the dosage is then higher can be more important compared to non-obese patients. The aim of the study is then to evaluate the risk of occurrence of serious adverse events in obese patients and to identify risks factors. This study consists in a retrospective cohort of obese patients treated for a bone or joint infection and having had a serious adverse event. Several data are collected concerning: demographics data, treatment responsible of the serious adverse event (molecules, dosage, route), description of the serious adverse event, residual rate for vancomycin.
After birth, in the presence of risk factors for early neonatal bacterial infection (IBNP), the pediatrician must make a difficult decision quickly or not to prescribe additional examinations and / or hospitalize or not the newborn in order to administer parenteral antibiotics. This decision takes into account several contextual data, (clinical, biological and bacteriological clinical data) to be considered simultaneously. These information lack sensitivity and specificity. Therefore, the common attitude among newborns in many countries remains the achievement of a significant number of additional tests and the establishment, without a prior evidence of infection, intravenous empirical antibiotic therapy for 48 -72h at least in hospitalization. However, the diagnosis of IBNP posteriori, is often reversed. This attitude is: 1. one source to higher health care costs (hospitalization, additional examinations) 2. Selection of the bacterial ecology of the newborn and neonatal services and 3. stress for the newborn and parents
The aim of this prospective randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the impact of high concentration supplemental postoperative oxygen therapy on short-term and long-term results of liver transplantation, particularly with respect to infections and biliary complications.
The prognosis of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (ISLA) remains a serious complication of cirrhosis. Rapid diagnosis of ISLA is a key issue for improving the prognosis. The determination of calprotectin in ascites, used for the diagnosis of infection of ascitic liquid, could allow the diagnosis in a very short time (about 30 minutes). To date, the determination of calprotectin in ascites was not evaluated properly. The investigators would thus evaluate the interest of the determination of calprotectin in ascites for the rapid diagnosis of ISLA in cirrhotic patients, like you, hospitalized for decompensation of their disease. The main purpose of this pilot study will determine the optimal threshold calprotectin in ascites for diagnosis of ISLA.
Between 2009 and January 2016, the investigators included 49 patients from four hospitals in Lyon who had a Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) infection and who benefited of a knee arthroplasty revision with a rotating hinge prosthesis. This retrospective and descriptive cohort aims at studying the functional results after 2 years follow up.
