Filter by:Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with an increased cardiovascular mortality. In particular children with early-onset CKD have a lifelong increased risk to suffer from cardiovascular disease (CVD). Therefore, children with CKD deserve our attention. The immune system in children with CKD is disturbed, exhibiting pro-inflammatory features. Therefore, we aim to learn more about the characteristics of the immune system in early-onset CKD. In this project PBMC of pediatric CKD patients and age-matched healthy controls will be analysed and compared using CITE-Seq as a multimodal scRNAseq phenotyping method. All patients will be clinically characterized to integrate cardiovascular and immunological data.
The objective of this study is the collection and testing of clinical samples to determine the clinical performance of the Access HIV Ag/Ab Combo assay on the DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzer
Surgical Site Infections (SSI) develop as a complication of surgical care 30-90 days after surgery without implants and within 1 year after implanted operations. Despite advances in asepsis practices, sterilization methods, surgical technique and antibiotic prophylaxis, SSI is the most important cause of hospital stay, morbidity and even mortality. SSI, which constitutes approximately 20% of healthcare associated infections (HAI) all over the world, is also the HAI with the highest cost. Although it has been reported that 60% of the SSI can be prevented by using evidence-based guidelines, 2-5% of the operated patients develop SSI, the hospital stay of patients with SSI is 7-11 days longer, the risk of death increases 2-11 times, It was reported that the cause of death was direct SSI. In the United States of America (USA), SSI constitutes 31% of HAI, it is seen in 2-5% of inpatients, approximately 160,000-300,000 SSIs occur each year, the most common and costly HAI.Abdominal surgery; It includes the treatment of diseases of organs such as stomach, gall bladder, pancreas, spleen, liver, small intestine and large intestine. It has been reported that the incidence of SSIs after abdominal surgery is 15-25% higher than other types of surgery. In a study conducted by Alcan et al. (2020), 69.8% of nurses stated that they used Povidone Iodine as skin antisepsis. Wistrand et al. (2015) compared preoperative 36 ° C and room temperature 20 ° C Chlorhexidine Gluconate solutions, but reported that there was no difference in bacterial colonization and SSI rates. In their study in Turkey, Gezer et al. (2020) reported that the prevalence of SSI was significantly lower in the Povidone Iodine group heated to 37 ° C before surgery compared to the Povidone Iodine group applied at 25 ° C room temperature.
The study aims to describe the current use of dalbavancin among diabetic patients with infections in a real-world clinical setting in Italy and Spain.
To assess the effectiveness of Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) testing and treatment during pregnancy to reduce adverse pregnancy and birth outcomes compared to the standard of care (treatment based on symptoms and signs).
Conventional therapy of upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) is not always effective and sometimes leads to side effects and also to inappropriate use of antibiotic. Hence, a search for safe and effective further treatment options is justified and would be a welcome addition to available conventional treatment. Use of plant based dietary supplements has become increasingly popular over the last few decades or so. Research based on some plants is more than centuries old and its main therapeutic objective is to stimulate the self-healing power of the body. Andrographolide was docked successfully in the binding site of SARS-CoV-2 Mpro. Computational approaches also predicts this molecule to have good solubility, pharmacodynamics property and target accuracy. This molecule also obeys Lipinski's rule, which makes it a promising compound to pursue further biochemical and cell based assays to explore its potential for use against COVID-19. A. Paniculata is a patented extract, standardized to Andrographolide, 14-deoxyandrographolide, and Neo-andrographolide. Maqui contains Maqui Berry Extract of Aristotelia Chilensis (10% Anthocyanidin, 8% Delphinidin) belonging to the family of Elaeocarpaceae, which has been known for its use in several conditions such as sore throat, fever and several other ailments. In the present study, the therapeutic potential of Andrographis Paniculata and Aristotelia chilensis as single ingredients as well as in combination will be evaluated in participants with common cold and COVID related symptoms. The products to be evaluated have been rigorously standardized and are available under the brand names of A. Paniculata and A. Chilensis. Literature indicates that both A. Paniculata and A.Chilensis are effective and safe in the treatment of typical cold-related symptoms in adults.
Aim of the study is to evaluate the presence of SARS-CoV2 RNA in the saliva of patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 in order to validate the analysis of this type of sample for the diagnosis of SARS-CoV2 infections.
Trial to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of one or two boosting doses of Comirnaty or one dose of BNT162b2s01 (Variant of concern (VOC) strain B.1.351) in BNT162-01 trial participants, or two boosting doses of Comirnaty in BNT162-04 trial participants. Trial participants from BNT162-01 who received two injections of 30 μg Comirnaty will be randomized 2:1 to one booster injection (BNT162b2s01: Comirnaty). Trial participants in either the trial BNT162-01 or BNT162-04 who did not receive the full two vaccinations of 30 μg Comirnaty will be offered two injections of 30 μg Comirnaty as per the conditional marketing authorization. All potential rollover volunteers must enroll in this trial within less than 18 months of their last injection of a BNT162 candidate vaccine in the parent BNT162-01 or BNT162-04 trials.
Surveys administered to subjects who have recovered from COVID-19 to assess how effective their treatment was.
This study generates robust, uniform clinical data across emerging COVID-19 strains to train ML/AI algorithms of the Sponsor's imPulse™ Una infrasound-to-ultrasound e-stethoscope for digital diagnostic feature synthesis of asymptomatic and symptomatic COVID-19 digital biosignatures for rapid and accurate adult and child mass screening.
