Filter by:The primary objective of this clinical trial was to determine the time to improvement of the signs and symptoms (eg, dysuria, frequency, urgency, gross hematuria, suprapubic pain, hesitancy, low back pain) of acute, uncomplicated, symptomatic, lower UTIs in women treated with Cipro XR 500 mg once daily for 3 days.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of a transfusion of specialized white cells from your transplant donor's blood, called T-cells, that have been grown and immunized against the CMV virus in the test tube. If the transplant donor is immune to CMV (ie: the donor has antibody to CMV in the blood), the T-cells will be selected and grown from the blood of the transplant donor. However, if the transplant donor is not immune to CMV, or if T-cells from the donor are not readily available, CMV-immune T-cells grown from the blood of another normal donor who is partially matched to the patients tissue type can be used. The transplant physician will explain which of these treatments is available to the patient. This trial is called a phase I trial because phase I trials are designed to test the safety of different doses of an experimental treatment. We want to find out what effects, good and/or bad, a dose/doses of these immune T-cells will have on the patient and on the CMV infection. Specifically, we wish to test CMV immune T-cells grown from your blood using a new method developed at our center. In this method, fragments of an important CMV protein, called CMVpp65, are chemically synthesized and then used to immunize T-cells in the test tube.
The main goals of the study are as follows: (1) to determine the correlation between pain management using continuous infusion of local anesthetics and the incidence of pneumonia and surgical infection in cardiac surgery patients; and (2) to evaluate the relationship between hospital-acquired pneumonia and surgical infection and patient outcomes, including length of hospital stay.
This study will determine if autologous platelet gel (APG) on sternal incision and conduit sites will improve wound healing and decrease infection in coronary artery bypass grafting surgery patients.
The purpose of this study is to identify risk factors associated with indwelling urinary catheters, as well as to assess the nurses' knowledge and adherence to hospital policies. The study will also include a very extensive literature search in an attempt to create a national standard or guideline.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential effect and safety of two different doses of PZ-601 and to compare this with another antibiotic that is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (also known as FDA) to treat adults with skin and skin structure infections.
This study is designed to assess the pharmacokinetics and safety of an infusion of a single dose of recombinant plasma gelsolin (rhu-pGelsolin) when given to patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit with documented low levels of natural gelsolin. It is believed that this drug will raise the gelsolin levels in these patients and decrease the probability that they will develop complications from their underlying disease such as organ system failure or death.
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of community-level behavioral and biomedical interventions, each alone and combined, in reducing sexual risk behavior and HIV/sexually transmitted infections in Peruvian men who have sex with men.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether supplemental perioperative oxygen significantly decreases the incidence of post-Cesarean endometritis and wound infection among women who undergo Cesarean section after the onset of labor.
This trial evaluated how effective and safe Cipro XR was in treating female patients with signs and symptoms of a lower urinary tract infections. After 3 days of treatment, patients were evaluated to determine if signs/symptoms disappeared and the infecting bacteria was eliminated.
