Filter by:The primary objective is to evaluate the impact of Pharmaceutical Interviews in the patient self-management of non-severe side effects caused by antibiotics prescribed for the treatment of osteoarticular infections when the patient returns home.
Our study aims to determine the prevalence of anosmia in patients SARS-Cov-2/Covid-19 infection (both by symptom reporting and smell testing), the efficacy of early olfactory training for the treatment of anosmia caused by infection and the long-term impact of smell dysfunction with a one-year follow-up.
In this retrospective cohort study, we assess the relationship between the intensity of early postoperative pain and the risk of infectious- and non-infectious complications within 30 days after major abdominal surgery.
This is a randomised controlled experiment in the form of a web based survey study which randomly exposes participants to different forms of public health messages, after which participants will be assessed on their intent to take up the COVID-19 vaccine, recommend the vaccine, and also willingness to propagate the exposed message.
The impact of cancer surgery during covid epidemic is not clear. The published reports show contradictory findings that extend from no change in mortality to increased mortality, further no data on exposure and outcome of health care worker is available. This study is designed to address the above questions
Poor glycemic control is recognized as a risk factor for postoperative infection. For the neurosurgical patient, postoperative infection can lead to devastating complications such as meningitis, encephalitis and death. Neurosurgical patients often receive high doses of medications that increase blood glucose levels such as steroids, placing them at a potentially higher risk for postoperative infection. The purpose of this multisite observational study is to assess the impact of severe intraoperative hyperglycemia as a risk factor for postoperative infection in the neurosurgical patient.
This is a prospective observational study of patients undergoing planned surgery for intestinal failure. The aims of the study are: - To prospectively characterise preoperative bacterial populations amongst patients undergoing surgery for intestinal failure - To examine the relationship between preoperative bacteriology and surgical site infection (SSI) in this patient group - To investigate the effect of surgery and surgical site infection on generic and wound specific quality of life measures
The Sternoclavicular joints (SCJ) represents an important factor in stability of shoulder joint. Its influence and its function is important for the functionality of the shoulder. SCJ infection is a rare condition and remains often mistreated and potentially life threatening. This study is to assess the cases treated at the University Hospital Basel with a surgical approach of extended resection of the SCJ. One prospective follow-up visit inclusive one physical examination per patient will be performed to evaluate the long-term functional results of arm, shoulder, hand function with the QuickDASH questionnaire.
The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence and transmission of SARS-CoV-2 infection among Canadian children and parents in the CHILD cohort, identify predictors of infection susceptibility and severity, and understand the health and psychosocial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on CHILD families.
In this study, it is hypothesized that administration of 5-ALA-Phosphate + SFC in subjects vaccinated against Covid-19 could contribute in enhancing the targeted function of the immune system, which might lead to re-activation and/or increase of the vaccination response. Thus, in the present study, we will be evaluating the safety and efficacy of 5-ALA-Phosphate + SFC in subjects receiving the Covid-19 vaccine.
