Filter by:The incidence of fungal infection has increased dramatically over the past few decades.This is due to increase in survival rates of preterm neonates, advances in medical technology and drug therapy, broad spectrum antibiotics and parenteral nutrition . The resistance to antifungal agents has increased. This study will assess the efficacy of micafungin versus amphotericin B in neonates with positive fungal culture.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if board game can improve elementary school students' infection control intentions. The investigators use the theory of planned behavior (TPB), which includes three main factors: attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Exploring the factors influencing children's behavioral intentions of infection control through theory of planned behavior? 2. The effectiveness of board game on improving children's knowledge and behavioral intentions of infection control? Researchers will compare gamified instruction to conventional lesson lecture to see if the former has better results. Students who participated in filled out the questionnaire three times, each time taking about 15 to 20 minutes: before the intervention, after the intervention, and after a one-month delay. The students' legal representatives filled out a basic demographic questionnaire before intervention, which took about 5 minutes. After a one-month delay, two groups of students were asked to filled out the post-test questionnaire again. Then, students in the control group were invited to participate in a board game and asked which teaching method they preferred (gamified instruction or conventional lesson lecture).
This study intends to investigate the prevalence and risk factors of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in the population of physical examination centers and communities. The physical examination population from the health management center of the Third Xiangya Hospital and the family-based community residents in Changsha were randomly selected. The H. pylori infection was detected by carbon-13 urea breath test (13C-UBT), and the related factors of H. pylori infection were investigated by questionnaire survey. The study provides supporting evidences to implement family-base H. pylori management to curb its intrafamilial spread. The results have important clinical implications in refinement of eradication strategies and impact on public health policy formulation for related disease prevention.
This is a phase 1, single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation clinical trial of single and multiple intravenous doses of TNP-2092 for injection in healthy Chinese participants.
In rectal cancer surgery, the organ/space surgical site infection (O/S-SSI) has an impact on patient's prognosis. Its influence in the oncologic outcomes remains controversial. The main objective is to assess the possible effect of O/S-SSI on long-term overall survival and cancer recurrence.
Large doses of systemic corticosteroids ,severe lung tissue damage and longer COPD diagnosis may increase the risk of IPA in patients with chronic structural lung disease. By comparing the risk factors of aspergillus colonization group and aspergillus infection group, the main risk factors of aspergillus pneumonia were determined.
A phase 1, single-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial to evaluate the safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of multiple administrations of TNP-2092 Capsules in combination with Rabeprazole Sodium Enteric-coated Tablets in asymptomatic healthy subjects with Helicobacter pylori infection
OBJECTIVES: We aimed to study the characteristics of patients presenting with a Bacillus cereus infection in a university hospital. METHODS: We performed a retrospective analysis of the clinical, biological, and treatment-related data of patients hospitalized in our university hospital between January 1st, 2008 and December 31st, 2012 and diagnosed with a B. cereus infection. We identified a subgroup of patients presenting with bacteremia and looked for risk factors for death within that group of patients.
The goal of this clinical trials to learn about potential additives in reducing dental plaque. The main questions it aims to answer is: • is there a difference in the plaque reducing effect of oil pulling with sesame oil compared to rinsing with distilled water? Participants will rinse with 15 ml of their allocated liquid for 15 min every morning for 8 weeks. Researchers will compare sesame oil against distilled water to see if there is a difference in the plaque reducing effect.
Our study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of hybrid regimen as a first line therapy for H. pylori eradication compared to triple and quadruple regimens in attempt to overcome antibiotic resistance
