Filter by:In this Dutch multicenter clinical trial, patients with a staphylococcal prosthetic joint infection, will, in the oral antibiotic treatment phase, be randomized between clindamycin monotherapy and rifampicin / levofloxacin combination therapy. The clinical endpoint will be treatment success one year after finishing antimicrobial treatment.
A randomized, Phase 2a, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics and antiviral activity of multiple doses of orally administered EDP-323 in healthy subjects infected with RSV-A Memphis 37b. This study is designed to assess the antiviral effect of EDP-323 compared to a placebo control in the respiratory syncytial virus challenge model.
People who inject drugs are at risk of injection-related infections, like abscesses or infective endocarditis. The Injection-Related InfectionS (IRIS) program hopes to improve treatment for participants by providing a low-barrier, one-stop shop model for people who inject drugs who experience injection-related infections to access more holistic and compassionate care. IRIS is a non-randomized clinical trial, meaning that it offers a specific program to eligible patients. This program offers care for substance use and infectious disease with additional peer support and systems navigation, if interested. The investigators anticipate enrolling 80 participants in the intervention and will follow participants throughout the infection treatment period (estimated 6-12 weeks). The investigators will collect information at the time of enrolment, at the 6-month mark, and monthly via electronic medical chart review. The investigators will use an interrupted time series analysis to evaluate the impact of the intervention on rates of treatment completion, emergency department visits, hospitalizations, and death, before versus after the intervention.
The aim of this clinical study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of addition of gentamicin on irrigation fluid during trans-urethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and its role in reduction of post-TURP infectious complications. the participants will be randomly divided into two groups: Group A (gentamicin group) and group B (Placebo).
The purpose of this study is that a video tool coupled with standardized information can increase the patient's understanding of the information and thus optimize their medical care
Infections are proposed risk factors for type 1 diabetes in children. The investigators will examine whether a diagnosis of infectious disease also confers an increased risk of latent autoimmune diabetes in adults.
Using our own patient data, our study aimed to predict mortality that can develop in Carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacilli bloodstream infections with a machine learning-based model. In the intensive care unit, patients with bloodstream infections, both with and without mortality, will be examined retrospectively in two subgroups for comparison.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the skin quality improvement and colonization efficacy following the application of probiotic Micrococcus luteus Q24 (BLIS Q24) to the scalp from a serum format in healthy adults.
An anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is one of the knee joint's most common soft tissue injuries [1]. It is frequently injured in non-contact and some contact competition sports and even during ordinary life activities. With an annual incidence of 68.6 per 100,000 person-years, ACL tears remain a common orthopedic injury [2]. Females are two to eight times more likely to develop ACL tears in sports compared to men who play the same particular sports [3]. Most highly demanding persons and those who develop frequent instability of their knee require reconstructive surgery on the ACL to prevent early degenerative changes in their knees. This is done by completely removing the torn or ruptured ACL and replacement with a piece of tendon or ligament (graft) [4]. Post-operative infection may occur in 0.14-2.6% of ACL reconstruction despite intravenous antibiotics prophylaxis [5,6]. The deep infection results in poor outcomes with pain, stiffness, arthrofibrosis, and articular cartilage degeneration [7,8]. Few studies reported improved outcomes of infection control when the autograft presoaked in vancomycin solution during the preparation process outside the body before being transferred to the knee of the patient [9-13]. Systematic reviews and meta-analysis showed that all the articles discussing the outcome of vancomycin presoaked autograft in ACL reconstruction surgery were case series, observational retrospective, prospective comparative, or case-control studies [14,15]. Randomized control trial (RCT) provides the strongest evidence among the primary research studies to confirm the effectiveness of a new method of treatment [16,17]. To date, there is no available RCT study in this field.
Prebiotics as bovine colostrum are considered as a valuable supplement in the prevention of upper respiratory tract infections, gastrointestinal tract infections and neonatal sepsis. It contains many bioactive substances, such as immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, lysozyme, lactoperoxidase, and other growth factors.There is a lack of research on the use of prebiotics for prophylaxis against recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI) in children.In this era of increasing bacterial resistance to antimicrobial therapy, bovine colostrum can offer an approach for prophylaxis against UTI in these patients.We aim at this trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bovine colostrum as a prebiotic for prophylaxis against recurrent urinary tract infection in children.
