Filter by:Primary objective: is evaluation of the investigational product's safety and evaluation of its effect, in combination with antimicrobial treatment, on urine culture (microbiological cure, no microbial growth on 24-48 hrs culture). The secondary objective: is evaluation of the investigational product's effect, in combination with antimicrobial treatment, on disease related symptoms (Clinical cure, disappearance of symptoms and signs).
This qualitative study aims to explore lived experiences of older adults living with HIV in Hong Kong. Twenty older Chinese adults of age 50 or above will be recruited from an HIV specialist clinic providing HIV care in the public service. Qualitative, semi-structured interview will be conducted to explore risk factors contributing to life stress and adversity, and protective factors associated with resilience. The qualitative data will be delineated to propose a typology of older adults living with HIV as characterized by their unmet needs, barriers and facilitators of resilience-building.
The aim of work to assess the effectiveness of preoperative vaginal cleansing with povidone iodine on reduction of post caesarean section wound infection Research questions: Does vaginal cleaning using povidone iodine before cesarean section has effect on reduction of postoperative wound infection??
The most common tissue expander-related infections are from Staphylococcus and Pseudomonas species. In addition, from breast tissue microbiome studies, Staphylococcus and Pseudomonas show variable abundance across samples. The investigator hypothesizes that participants undergoing mastectomy with high initial abundance of Staphylococcus and/or Pseudomonas are more likely to develop subsequent tissue expander-related infections from these respective organisms.
This retrospective study will evaluate characteristics, vaccine utilization and outcomes among subjects with immunocompromising conditions that received COVID-19 vaccination.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics of multiple ascending dose (MAD) of PA1010 tablets in Chinese adults with Chronic Hepatitis B.
Surgical site infections (SSI) constitute an important health concern in low and middle income countries, leading to prolonged hospital stay and increased costs. Previous studies indicate that in Africa up to 1/3 of patients undergoing surgery may be affected by a postoperative infection. The development and implementation of context-specific SSI prevention guidelines is important to reduce this complication. To deploy efficient context-specific measures, data on epidemiology and microbiology of these infections are needed. This means to adapt the prevention measures to the context-specific risk factors for surgical site infections in resource-limited settings, and to give locally adapted recommendations on antimicrobial therapy based on local resistance patterns. However, data in this respect are scarce in low and middle income countries. This present study will contribute to the needed epidemiology and microbiology data on SSI in Cameroon. It will be carried out as a prospective cohort study at the Mbouo Protestant hospital in the West Region of Cameroon. The incidence, microbial spectrum and respective antimicrobial resistance of SSI as well as the risk factors of SSI will be systematically investigated. The study will include 300 patients at the Hôpital Protestant de Mbouo (HPM) who underwent surgery and gave their informed consent for inclusion, the timeframe is 04/2021 - 11/2021. An active SSI surveillance system will be put in place for 30 postoperative days to diagnose SSI. Expected outcomes: The incidence of SSI is likely to be higher than 10%. Concerning risk factors, preoperative bodywashing and perioperative antibioprophylaxis is expected to be protective against SSI. Up to 1/3 of SSI are expected to occur after hospital discharge. For the microbial spectrum, a high proportion of Staphylococcus aureus is likely to be found. For the antimicrobial resistance no estimation can be give as data is non-existent in that region from the literature.
The rationale of the study is to provide evidence on the efficacy and safety of Emodepside in adults infected with Trichuris trichiura and hookworm.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single (Part A) and repeated dose (Part B) escalation, phase I clinical study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) and preliminary pharmacodynamics (PD) of RBD1016 in subjects with chronic HBV infection.
In this study the Investigators aim to deploy UTE and HP 129Xe MRI for structural and functional evaluation of persistent lung abnormalities in COVID-19 survivors.
