Filter by:COVID-19 has significant detrimental impacts on surgical systems and patient outcomes. CovidSurg has provided the best available evidence to guide delivery of safe surgery during the pandemic. However, CovidSurg data were collected in 2020 when the wildtype SARS-CoV-2 virus was dominant, and therefore there is a need to for renewed rapid data to guide global practice during Omicron COVID-19 waves. CovidSurg-3 is an extension to CovidSurg and was initiated in response to the emergence of the Omicron variant. CovidSurg-3 has two separate components: - Patient-level component: Collection of outcome data for patients with peri-operative SARS-CoV-2. - Hospital-level component: Collection of aggregated case-mix data. Hospitals in countries with low community SARS-CoV-2 infection rates can contribute towards this component.
The novel coronavirus called severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was discovered for the first time in December 2019 in Wuhan (China) and the disease it causes is called coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Now, this pandemic is rapidly spreading all over the world. Pregnant have higher rates of COVID-19, associated with hospitalizations, and severe in-hospital outcomes. Immune responses may have a potential role in the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of patients with COVID-19. So we need of identifying biomarkers for disease severity and progression.
The investigators primary objective is to identify genetic factors that may increase the risk of patients developing a periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) following total joint arthroplasty (TJA). The investigators hope that by identifying genetic predispositions we will be able to provide patient specific care pathways to prevent or minimize the risk for PJI.
Lower limb joint replacement surgery is one of the most prevalent globally. In our center, more than 400 lower limb arthroplasties (LLA) are performed annually. Developing a Surgical Site Infection (SSI) after (LLA) increases morbidity, mortality and healthcare costs. Staphylococcus aureus is the main causative agent of SSI and especially in LLA. One third of the population is a nasal carrier of Staphylococcus aureus, being a risk factor for patients who have to undergo knee replacement or hip replacement. Several studies have confirmed that the detection of S. aureus carriers and their subsequent decolonization reduces SSI rates
Evaluate the impact of HAT therapy versus placebo in the treatment of patients with an acute NSTI and sepsis.
A two-stage trial will involve healthy volunteers. The first stage is open trial, and the second stage is a double-blind trial with randomization of volunteers into three groups. At stage I of the trial, the maximum number of screened healthy volunteers will be 30 of which 20 men aged 18 to over 60 years. At stage II of the trial, the maximum number of screened healthy volunteers will be 150, of which 135 men and women aged 18 to over 60 years eligible according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria are planned to be included and randomized to collect data that will be used for the subsequent safety and immunogenicity assessment. The enrollment of volunteers at stage II will be competitive.
The LATA trial will find out if taking a long-acting injectable form of HIV medicines, called cabotegravir and rilpivirine, every 2 month works as well as taking tablet HIV medicines every day in young people aged 12-19 years of age. The trial is organised by an international group of researchers from Europe and Africa, and will include 460 young people, from Kenya, South Africa, Uganda and Zimbabwe.
In this study, we evaluate peri- and postoperative parameters of patients undergoing a cystectomy and try to find risk factors for infectious complications. In detail, we analyze their medical history, demographic data, lab values, microbiological tests as well as histological and radiological findings. Furthermore, after discharging our patients, we send them several follow-up questionnaires at regular intervals and offer them free follow-up examinations.
This is a Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Phase 3 Trial of the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of a Single Oral Administration of CP101 for the Prevention of Recurrent Clostridioides difficile Infection (PRISM4). This Phase 3 trial will be conducted in 2 parts: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial arm and an optional open-label treatment arm. After completing standard-of-care (SOC) CDI antibiotics for their most recent CDI recurrence, patients who meet all eligibility requirements will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive either CP101 or placebo. Patients will be evaluated for CDI recurrence and safety follow-up through Week 8, the primary endpoint, as well as through Week 24. Patients who qualify may enroll into the optional open label arm if they experience CDI recurrence through week 8.
Opportunistic fungal infection is the most common opportunistic infection in AIDS patients, with the high mortality and recurrence rate due to the lack of standardized comprehensive diagnosis and treatment strategy. This project aims to combine traditional detection and observation indicators with molecular biology, serology and mass spectrometry identification technology to develop early screening and diagnostic strategies for opportunistic fungal infections in AIDS patients, explore scientific evaluation methods for anti-fungal efficacy and formulate comprehensive strategies for reducing the mortality and recurrence rate.
