Filter by:The overall aim of the project is to evaluate rifabutin (RBT) as a replacement for rifampicin (RMP), for the combined treatment of tuberculosis and HIV infection. RBT represents an alternative to RMP for HIV infected patients as its half-life is longer and the enzymatic induction effect appears to be less important on the associated antiretroviral therapy (ART) drugs. This phase II trial is to determine precisely the pharmacokinetics parameters of RBT in combination with different ART regimens in Vietnamese HIV infected patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, in order to define optimal doses that will be further tested in a larger phase III trial comparing safety, tolerability and efficacy of RBT and RMP regimens.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of RX-1741, an oxazolidinone, versus linezolid, another oxazolidinone, in the treatment of uncomplicated skin and skin structure infections
The purpose of this study is: 1. To assess the antiviral activity of PRO 140 2. To assess the safety and tolerability of PRO 140 3. To generate additional PK, PD and safety data of PRO 140
This study is being done to identify those elements of the immune response that may predispose a woman to recurrent urinary tract infection. We suspect that lesser effectiveness of certain components of the host response will lead to recurrent urinary tract infection. We will also evaluate the role that the bladder reservoir may play in recurrent urinary tract infection.
The purpose of this study is to measure the decay characteristics of HIV in the blood of patients after taking a combination of anti-HIV drugs, which includes a new class of anti-HIV drug, an integrase inhibitor. This study explores how this new combination of therapy reduces virus in various compartments of the body and immune system.

Aims: 1. To develop a food supplement containing a health-promoting probiotic bacteria (B. lactis BB12) and xylitol to be administered with a novel soft, possibly occlusion-friendly pacifier. 2. Test in a clinical study how feasible the method is and to study how the intervention affects caries occurrence. Main hypothesis: The administration of B. lactis BB12 and xylitol affects beneficially the dental health of the child.
The objective of the study is to determine whether recurrences of urinary tract infection in children can be prevented with cranberry juice.
The specific aim of this proposed project is to implement a standard process for integrating MedlinePlus health information prescriptions into the clinic workflow. Hypothesis 1: Individuals in the intervention group who receive tailored email health information with provider selected MedlinePlus links and added commentary for patient specific conditions will be more likely to seek information / use MedlinePlus compared with individuals in the control group. Hypothesis 2: Individuals in the intervention group who receive tailored email health information with provider selected MedlinePlus links and added commentary for patient specific conditions will be more satisfied with the information received compared with individuals in the control group.
Hypothesis: Daily gargling with specific avian antibodies against Pseudomonas aeruginosa will prevent infections with this bacteria in patients with Cystic fibrosis (CF).
