Zinc and green tea supplementation have both been independently studied for supporting immune health during cold and flu-like illness in non-hospitalized patients with clinical trials demonstrating promising but inconsistent results. Combination therapy may offer an improved effect as the antioxidant compounds found in green tea have been shown to increase cellular zinc concentrations thereby inhibiting viral replication. This study seeks to evaluate the effect of combination supplementation using established doses of zinc and green tea extract on symptom duration and severity from cold and flu-like illness, including COVID-19, in adult community patients enrolled in a randomized placebo-controlled trial.
The goal of this study is to test a new way to diagnose and track treatment of spine infections caused by the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus.
COVID-19 is respiratory disease caused by the severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), a novel coronavirus which has spread rapidly across the world with over 149.9 million laboratory confirmed cases and over 3.1 million reported deaths since December 2019. Approximately 4-8% of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 have co-infection with bacterial pathogens however there is widespread and often broad-spectrum antibiotic use in these patients. This is a prospective, multi-center, non-inferiority pragmatic clinical trial of antimicrobial stewardship prospective audit and feedback versus no antimicrobial stewardship intervention on physicians attending to patients with proven SARS-CoV-2 infection confirmed by nucleic acid testing in the preceding 2 weeks of hospitalization for acute COVID-19 pneumonia. Prospective audit and feedback is the real time review of antibacterial prescriptions and immediate feedback to prescribers to optimize antimicrobial prescriptions. Hospital beds will be stratified by COVID unit and critical care unit beds, and will be computer randomized in a 1:1 fashion into 2 arms (antimicrobial stewardship intervention versus no antimicrobial stewardship intervention) prior to study commencement at the participating site. Patients hospitalized to study-eligible beds will be followed for primary and secondary outcomes. The objective of this study is to determine the effect of an antimicrobial stewardship intervention (prospective audit and feedback) on clinical outcomes in patients hospitalized with acute COVID-19.
The current markers of inflammation that govern antibiotic treatment have their significant limitations, especially in patients with burns. According to previously published data, the newly proposed marker of infectious inflammation, the Intensive Care Infection Score (ICIS), appears to be a suitable diagnostic tool in distinguishing between inflammation of infectious and non-infectious origin in these patients. The other advantage is its low price. This study aims to compare ICIS with other used indicators of inflammation in patients with burns both children and adults.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and effect on clinical course of oral apabetalone in hospitalized subjects with Covid-19 infection
The goal of this study is to describe the antibiotic use in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in Germany that is practising integrative medicine. The investigators will review hospital records to find out how often and how long antibiotics were given to newborns; compare antibiotic use to other NICU in the same area; describe how sick infected newborns were (comparing those treated with or without antibiotics); and describe which anthroposophic medicines were used, how often and if there were safety problems.
In April 2020, a meta-analysis on the long-term sequelae of respiratory syndromes related to seasonal coronaviruses (SARS and MERS) showed a significant alteration in quality of life, with in particular a decrease in physical and emotional capacities and a deterioration of social life. An improvement of the quality of life is evidenced after 6 months but without reaching the level usually observed in healthy people. The impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on quality of life can be explained by the persistence of pleomorphic symptoms in the medium to long term. In the military population, the majority of SARS-CoV-2 cases present minor to moderate forms of the disease. Military personnel have living conditions that differ from those of the general population, in particular because of their geographic mobility, which may be responsible for isolation from the family. This isolation can be regular (we speak of "geographical celibacy" when the soldier is posted in a geographical area far from the family unit) and/or occasional, during missions on the national territory or outside. This singularity justifies a study on the impact of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection on the quality of life in this specific population.
This phase I trial studies the best dose and effects of NT-I7 in treating Kaposi sarcoma in patients with or without HIV. NT-I7 works by using a patient's immune system to fight cancer. It is made in a laboratory and is used to boost, direct, or restore the body's natural defenses against cancer. NT-I7 may work better in treating Kaposi sarcoma.
This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, multi-site study in which up to approximately 36 subjects with a recent C. difficile infection (CDI) who have completed a standard of care course of CDI antibiotics and have achieved clinical cure based on signs and symptoms, will be randomized to 7 or 28 daily doses of ART24 or placebo. Subjects will be followed for 6 months after the last dose of study drug.
