Filter by:This study will utilize a single center internal control study design. The objective of this study is to determine the feasibility and safety of a bidirectional oxygenation PEEP generating mouthpiece when combined with oxygen by non-rebreather face mask, compared to support by oxygen non-rebreather face mask alone.
An open access study that will define and collect digital measures of coughing in multiple populations and public spaces using various means of audio data collection.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of pidotimod as treatment in participants with recurrent respiratory tract infections.
Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a somewhat new and recognized infectious disease that is now spreading to several countries in the world, including Brazil. Hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin may be useful for treating those patients. COALITION I study aims to compared standard of care, hydroxychloroquine plus azithromycin and hydroxychloroquine monotherapy for treatment of hospitalized patients with COVID-19. COALITION I will recruit 630 patients with infection by COVID-19 (210 per arm). Ordinal endpoint of status at 15 days will be the primary endpoint.
Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19) represents an unprecedented challenge to the operations and population health management efforts of health care systems around the world. The "Pandemic Research Network (PRN): Duke Community Health Watch" study leverages technology, clinical research, epidemiology, telemedicine, and population health management capabilities to understand how to safely COVID-19. The target population is individuals in the Duke Health region as well as individuals beyond the Duke Health region who have flu-like symptoms, a viral test order for COVID-19, confirmed COVID-19, or concern for exposure to COVID-19. A subgroup of particular interest within the target population is health care workers (HCW) and families of HCW. Community members will enroll in the study electronically and for 28 days will be reminded via email or SMS to submit signs and symptoms related to COVID-19. Participants who report symptoms will be provided information about COVID-19 testing (if needed) and established mechanisms to seek care within Duke Health. Instructions for telemedicine and in-person visits, which is available publicly at https://www.dukehealth.org/covid-19-update, will be presented to participants. Participants who are unable to report symptoms independently may be contacted via telephone by Population Health Management Office (PHMO) or Clinical Events Classification (CEC) team members. Data collected through the "Pandemic Response Network (PRN): Duke Community Health Watch" study will be used for three objectives. - First, to characterize the epidemiological features of COVID-19. Specifically, we will have a high-risk subgroup of HCW and families of HCW that we enroll. - Second, to develop models that predict deterioration and the need for inpatient care, intensive care, and mechanical ventilation. - Third, to develop forecast models to estimate the volume of inpatient and outpatient resources needed to manage a COVID-19 population. The primary risk to study participants is loss of protected health information. To address this concern, all data will be stored in Duke's REDCap instance and the Duke Protected Analytics Compute Environment (PACE).
This study aims to optimize the dosing of cefazolin, ceftazidime, and ciprofloxacin for patients on high-flux hemodialysis. For each antibiotic 20 participants will be enrolled and three blood samples will be collected from each participant. Antibiotic levels will be measured in each blood sample. This data will be used to develop population-pharmacokinetic models for each antibiotic. Finally, Monte Carlo simulations will be used to develop evidence-based dosing recommendations.
The study aims to evaluate the prognostic value of alveolar and blood NETosis in patients under mechanical ventilation and treated for an acute low-respiratory tract infection. The main outcome is the occurrence of an acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) according to the Berlin definition.
This study is an open label and is an extension to the TDF2 study in which the investigators offered daily oral tenofovir/emtricitabine (TDF/FTC) for a maximum of 12 months to HIV uninfected former participants of the TDF2 study.
This is a retrospective case:control study examining the use of adjunctive bezlotoxumab to standard C. difficile infection (CDI) treatment compared to standard CDI treatment alone in patients with CDI seen in an academic medical center's specialty outpatient clinic.
This is a multi-center, double-blinded study of COVID-19 infected patients requiring inpatient hospital admission randomized 1:1 to daily Losartan or placebo for 7 days or hospital discharge.
