Filter by: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.
It is a biomedical research without direct individual benefit, exploring and comparing the mucosal immune response after oral, nasal and sublingual administration of B-subunit of non-toxic cholera toxin (CTB) in healthy adult volunteers.
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common cause of illness in patients who have undergone a transplant. Serious infections due to CMV can affect many parts of the body including the lungs, the gut, and the liver. Since transplant recipients are at risk for CMV or have evidence of infection with CMV, they are given an antiviral drug (usually ganciclovir or valganciclovir). Despite this, there are a chance that CMV infection may cause problems in the future. The purpose of this study is to assess how well patients'immune systems responds to the CMV virus, so that in the future it may be possible to predict which patients are at highest risk of CMV.
The purpose of this study is to determine the influence of posaconazole on unboosted fosamprenavir pharmacokinetics, and vice versa, in healthy volunteers.A second objective is to determine the safety of combined use of fosamprenavir with posaconazole in healthy volunteers.
This study focuses on one of the major health issues of Sub-Saharan Africa: multi-parasitism and co-infections. In particular this study aims to elucidate the interaction of helminths with HIV. There is good reason to suspect a detrimental effect of helminth infection on the course of HIV infection. We hypothesize, that treatment of helminths in HIV- and helminth co-infected individuals leads to a reduction of HIV viral load. With a lower HIV RNA level one would expect a slower decline of CD4 cells and hence also a slower progression of the disease. Ideally this would lead to a prolongation of the chronic phase of HIV infection and to a delay in the time when anti-retroviral treatment needs to be started.
