Filter by:This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 14-day quadruple therapy based on fecal molecular antimicrobial susceptibility tests for the first-line eradication of H. pylori infection, thus, providing more evidence to inform the value of fecal antimicrobial susceptibility tests in the first-line treatment of H. pylori infection.
The goal of this interventional study is to learn about nasal microbiome and viral infections in newborns hospitalised in neonatology. The main questions it aims to answer are : - how often are newborns infected by viruses in neonatology ? - how does the microbiome develop during first weeks of life ? - how does microbiome and viruses interacts together ? - is there a link between viral infection, microbiome, and medical complications during hospitalisation in neonatology ? Participants will have a nasal swab taken each week during their hospitalisation in neonatology, and researchers will take medical data from the medical chart.
The purpose of this study is to find differences in rates of surgical site infections following emergency laparotomy with the use of two different incisional negative pressure wound therapy (iNPWT)devices.
COVID-19 has swept the world, and while some people may experience long-term cognitive decline as a result of infection, no effective treatment has been announced. The primary goal of this study was to determine the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection, as well as to assess the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on brain function in patients with COVID-19-related cognitive decline. In this study, approximately 80 people were randomly assigned to either hyperbaric oxygen or regular oxygen therapy to compare the effects of these two treatments on disease.
The goal of this research is to compare alterations of gut microbiota and fecal metabolomics alterations between inflammatory bowel disease patients infected with or without Clostridioides difficile. The main questions it aim to answer are: which bacterial genus or fecal metabolites can discriminate IBD patients infected or more likely to be infected with Clostridioides difficile and their role in the pathogenesis of Clostridioides difficile. type of study: observational study participant population/health conditions 1. population diagnosed with Ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease 2. Having diarrhea Participants will be included in this research. If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare healthy people without IBD or any diarrhea to see if disease or diarrhea would affect the gut microbiota and metabolites.
The study is to investigate whether chlorhexidine (CHG)-based antiseptics is more effective to prevent catheter-related urinary tract infection (CAUTI) among inhospital patients who required Foley catheter insertion. This is a cluster-randomised, step-wedged clinical trial, in which every participated unit will used three different Foley catheter insertion protocols during the study period: 1. Iodine protocol: using 10% povidone-iodine as the primary antiseptic during Foley insertion. This is the routine practice before this study in the participated hospital, as well as many Taiwanese hospitals. 2. CHG protocol: instead of povidone-iodine solution, use 2% aqueous CHG solution as the primary disinfectant during Foley solution. 3. CHG plus protocol: additional to 2% CHG solution, added 0.5% CHG impregnated gel as the lubrication during Foley insertion.
SMA (Spinal Muscular Atrophy) is a rare neuromuscular disease characterized by motoneuron damage. Symptoms consist of respiratory involvement with numerous respiratory infections and eventually respiratory failure, for which NIV (Non Invasive Ventilation) is often used. Ventilation machines are in close contact with the respiratory tract of patients. They contain heated water to humidify the circuit. These humid and warm environments are conducive to the development of bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In this context, it is interesting to look for the presence or absence of bacteria, in comparison with the respiratory ecology of the patients. The aim is to highlight the microbiological role of NIV on the occurrence of respiratory bacterial infections or secondary infections in patients with SMA. To do this, samples are taken from the machines, and ECBCs are performed on patients during respiratory physiotherapy sessions.
The clinical trial studies the human pathogen of SARS-CoV-2, with a specificity in the circulating Spike 2 protein in the human system. The clinical trial hypothesizes that SARS-CoV-2 human pathogen arises from immune attacks, underlying the severe physiological symptoms that can be lethal. It further hypothesizes that the vaccines do not deal with the Spike 2 protein that causes the immune attacks.
Urinary tract infections (UTI) are common in kidney transplant recipients and are an important cause of illness and hospital admissions. Past studies have shown that about 1 out of 5 of newly transplanted patients develop UTI within their first 3 months of transplantation. Such UTIs increase the risk for blood stream infection and acute rejection of the kidney, Improvements in urinary voiding techniques may reduce the frequency of UTI. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the benefits of "double voiding" in kidney transplant recipients.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether lyophilized fecal microbime transfer - a dried extract of bacteria from the stool of healthy donors - is better than antibiotic therapy only for treating primary clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) in adult participants. The main question it aims to answer is whether lyophilized fecal microbiome transfer lowers the number of episodes of CDI compared to antibiotic therapy. Participants will be assigned to one of two groups: - In the intervention group participants will be given vancomycin by mouth for five days followed by 5 days of capsules of lyophilized fecal microbiome to swallow, up until day 10. - In the control group participants will be given vancomycin by mouth for ten days. - All participants will be asked to arrive for two follow-up visits and to fill out questionnaires. In addition, all participants will be asked to give stool samples before antibiotic therapy and on the two follow-up visits. Researchers will compare the intervention group and the control group to see if there is a difference in symptoms degree after ten days and in recurrence of the infection after two months. They will also compare side effects, the total use of antibiotics and the change in the composition of bacteria in the stool, namely the presence of bacteria that are resistant to many drugs.
