Filter by:This is a randomized control study of antibiotic uses in clean non prosthetic surgeries. One group will be given antibiotic prophylaxis, other will receive a placebo. The primary outcome will be the rate of surgical site infection in 2 groups.
This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose study to evaluate safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of single doses of BTZ043 in healthy adult volunteers. The study is conducted at a study centre in Germany. Up to 50 male and female participants will be included in this study in up to 5 cohorts; each cohort will consist of 10 subjects: in each cohort 8 subjects will be assigned to BTZ-043 and 2 to placebo. The doses tested will be: 125mg, 250mg, 500mg, 1000mg and 2000mg. Safety will be assessed via regular vital sign measurement, 12-lead ECG parameters, physical examination and safety laboratory assessments. Subjects will be hospitalized from Day -1 until discharge in the morning of Day 3. After completion of all Day 3 assessments of a cohort, blinded safety data will be reviewed and the next dose increment will be decided by the Trial Steering Committee (TSC).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and antiviral activity of single and multiple ascending doses of SH229 in patients with chronic hepatitis C Virus infection.
To assess the association between Clostridium difficile (CD) toxins' serum levels and the grade of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) severity/failure to CDI treatment and rate of recurrence. Furthermore, the kinetics of CD toxins in serum of CDI patients undergoing anti-CDI treatment, as well as the relationship between serum toxins levels and length of CDI diarrhea will be evaluated.
Correlation between the presence of intracellular viruses/bacteria and the incidence of miscarriage during the first trimester of pregnancy.
Sepsis is one of the most common causes of death worldwide. It is caused by a complex of inadequate host responses to infection. Sepsis remains a major challenge of modern intensive care medicine. Despite recent improvements, the incidence of sepsis in critically ill patients increases steadily (25%) and mortality rates remain unacceptably high (30%). It is difficult to distinguish the sepsis from the non-infectious systemic inflammatory response syndrome. Early identification of the origin of infection can help dramatically to improve outcome and reduce mortality. That is why clinicians need fast, reliable and specific biomarkers for sepsis recognition.
A randomized, double-blind, phase II clinical trial was conducted versus placebo in 110 patients with esophageal human papillomavirus. The experimental group will receive the VIUSID® plus GLIZIGEN® nutritional supplements, administered on an outpatient basis for 3 months. The control group will receive placebo from Viusid plus Glizigen placebo. It is expected that patients in the experimental group have a 30% higher rate of elimination of the virus than patients in the placebo group after treatment. The study will be conducted in the Superior Digestive Tract consultation of the Institute of Gastroenterology of Havana, Cuba.
Clarithromycin (CLA)、amoxicillin (AMO)、metronidazole (MET)、levofloxacin (LEV) and tetracycline (TET) are commonly used antibiotics for Helicobacter pylori (Hp) therapy. However, the efficacy of treatment for Helicobacter pylori infection has decreased due to increasing resistance to CLA, MET and LEV. Studies had reported that beside antibiotics resistance, other factors such as age, sex, underlying disease, etc. may also affect the treatment efficacy. In some cases, when the MIC values were beyond the breakpoint, H. pylori strains with lower MIC value had better eradication than the ones with higher MIC value. However, few study investigated the relationship between MIC values and treatment outcome. The investigators aimed to analyze the impact of influencing factors, especially minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) value, on the efficacy of different treatment regimens.
In the present study the dynamic changes of the intestinal microbiome are observed over a 4-week period in the different stages of the menstrual cycle in women at childbearing age. The focus is on how the dynamic changes of sex hormones during a menstrual cycle of women at childbearing age (with or without contraception) are related to microbiological colonization of the gut. In Addition the Expression of the β-glucuronidase by the bacteria will be investigated.
The goal of this study is to assess the utility of a data visualization tool for providers' understanding patients' past microbiological culture sensitivities. Providers that are ordering antibiotics for patients with previous culture data in the medical record will be asked to answer questions regarding past sensitivity results. They will be randomized to either using the visualization tool before answering the questions or using the standard medical record tools. They will then be surveyed about their decision-making, knowledge, and the usefulness of the tool.
