Filter by:Comparing the growth of intra-operative tissue cultures of Cutibacterium Acnes after primary shoulder replacement when using a no-prep control group versus antimicrobial wound gel versus betadine applied to the skin layer after the skin incision has been made. Reducing the bacteria present in the deep tissues at the end of the surgery may prevent infections from developing in the future.
perform a study in VigiBase® to assess if clozapine was associated with an over-reporting of infections and to characterize those infections. The investigators also decided to assess the dose dependency associated with those infections.
This study is designed to determine if a dieatary supplement containing beta-glucan can reduce the incidence, severity and duration of upper respiratory tract infections among a group of highly trained athletes
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of primary prophylaxis of CMV reactivation, clinically significant CMV infection with oral letermovir in Chinese R+ haplo-HSCT patients, as well as treatment-related mortality and all-cause mortality within 24 weeks after transplantation. For enrolled patients, Letermovir would be administered at a dose of 480 mg per day (or 240 mg per day in patients taking cyclosporine). The regimen would start between +7~+14d after transplantation. The total duration of dosing was approximately 100 days or 14 weeks.
The goal of this methodological, retrospective and prospective study is to; it is a tool to develop a risk estimator tool to detect risk gaps in individuals using artificial intelligence technology that is dangerous for those with CVC in adult intensive care patients, to test risk level estimation frameworks and to evaluate outcomes in the clinic. In our study, it is also our aim to protect, to present the security measures to prevent the risk of CVC with an artificial intelligence model, in an evidence-based way. The main question[s]it aims to answer are: - Can the risk of CVC-related infection be determined in adult intensive care patients using artificial intelligence? - To what degree of accuracy can the risk of CVC-associated infection be determined in adult intensive care patients using artificial intelligence? - What are the nursing practices that can reduce the risk of CVC-related infections? Methodology to develop an artificial intelligence-based CVC-associated infection risk level determination algorithm, retrospective using data from Electronic Health Records (EHR) patient data and manual patient files between January 2018 and December 2022 to create the algorithm and test the model accuracy, and the development stages of the model After the completion of the model, up-to-date data were collected for the use of the model and it was planned to be done prospectively.
The goal of this intervention study is to learn about the impact of household flooring on health in rural Kenya, and test whether providing an improved (cement stabilised, washable) floor improves the health of children and their care providers. The main questions the study aims to answer are: - What is the effect of providing a sealed, washable floor on the prevalence of infections that cause diarrhoea, intestinal worms and sand flea infections? - To what extent does the intervention reduce contamination of floors with pathogens within the home? - What is its effect of the intervention on the wellbeing of caregivers and children? - Over the course of a year, do the new floors remain undamaged, with no cracks? - Do participants living with the new floors, and the masons that helped to install the floors, like them and feel they are practical and affordable? The study will involve a trial, where half of the recruited households will be randomly chosen to receive the new floor in addition to some support on how to care for the floor and keep it clean. The other half of households will not receive anything at first, but at the end of the research project will also receive a new floor. Before the new floors are installed, the investigators will make several assessments in all study households. These will include a survey to measure household characteristics; a stool survey, to measure how many people are infected with diarrhoea-causing microorganisms and parasitic worms; a jigger flea examination among children; wellbeing assessments among children and caregivers; and soil sampling to identify microorganisms on the floor of the household. When households receive the new floor, participants will have to move out of their house for up to 7 days during installation. Participants will also be asked to attend some group meetings to discuss ways of taking care of the floor and keeping it clean. Assessments will be repeated 12 months after the floor has been delivered, and additional interviews will be held with a small number of randomly selected participants. Throughout the 12 months following delivery of the intervention, investigators will make unannounced visits to households to check the condition of the floor. Participants will also be offered treatment for parasitic worm infections after assessments have been completed at the start and end of the project.
Study design is multicenter prospective registry study. Participants are consecutive (non-selected, a sequential registration) patients admitted from emergency rooms of participating hospitals who meet the eligibility criteria. The primary objectives are to estimate the prevalence of and risk factors for RS and other respiratory virus infection and their effect on hospital course in patients with any respiratory symptom who admit from emergency room using a multicenter prospective registry study. The primary target virus is RS virus and the secondary target viruses are respiratory virus and other microorganisms measured by FilmArray 2.1.
Double-blind placebo-controlled randomized trial aiming to assess the role of Vitamin C supplementation in the prevention of catheter-associated urinary tract infections in women undergoing elective gynecological surgeries.
Investigating four different treatment of MTC or FMT
The study aims at describing the prevalence of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection in anal and oral samples of men with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and detecting risk factors for the infection.
