The goal of the proposed study is to use the HBV vaccine as a model for a future HIV vaccine trial, examining the efficacy of community-based outreach intervention as well as an accelerated vaccine schedule as a method for increasing acceptance/adherence with HBV vaccination protocols among not-in-treatment drug users. This study will also examine the effect of HBV vaccination coupled with community-based outreach intervention on reducing the incidence of HIV, HBV and HCV infections and the frequency of needle use and sexual risk behaviors related to these viral transmissions. A secondary purpose will be to assess the antibody response after HBV vaccination as a measurement of immunological response in drug users.
This is a pilot study with a cross-sectional research design to recruit Hispanic/Latina and African American adolescent and young adult women, aged 13-24 years to serve as index recruiters, who will in turn recruit members of her female friendship network, aged 13 years and older to undergo HIV screening. This approach seeks to identify new HIV infections in the target population.
The purpose of the study is to find out whether an experimental autologous dendritic cell vaccine is safe, well tolerated, and whether it can strengthen the immune system's response to HIV.
This study is being conducted to investigate the potential benefits of using a special type of fluid that can be applied to the skin (Integuseal) in addition to standard surgical skin preparation in patients undergoing total hip replacement (THA) or total knee replacement (TKA). Integuseal is supposed to lock down the skin bacteria and reduce skin infection and other problems. This study will investigate whether Integuseal is effective in reducing persistent wound drainage when used in addition to standard surgical skin preparation for total hip arthroplasty (THA) or total knee replacement (TKA).
The purpose of this study is to assess if a therapy with intravenous and oral moxifloxacin is as effective as a therapy with intravenous and oral amoxicilline/clavulanate in the treatment of complicated skin and skin structure infection.
This is a study to evaluate the safety of tigecycline in patients with complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAI) and complicated skin and soft tissue infections (cSSTI) under real practice in the usual hospital setting and patients' conditions, in order to assess the "real incidence" of adverse events related with tigecycline in these patients.
To assess effectiveness of Trulimax (Azithromycin) in Acute Bacterial Upper Respiratory Tract Infections (URTIs).
Observation of the initial Procalcitonin values and the clinical course of consecutively included patients with Acute Respiratory Tract Infections at general medical practices in greater Hannover.
Patients will be enrolled in a multi-center study (Wilford Hall Medical Center and Brooke Army Medical Center) to prospectively evaluate outcome after treatment for an uncomplicated skin abscess.
