Filter by:COVID-19 pandemic has presented the global health care systems with unprecedented and unexpected challenges. The clinical spectrum of COVID-19 disease varies from mild, at times asymptomatic, to severe life-threatening multiple organ dysfunction and shock. The latter group, albeit represent less than 10% of all SARS-CoV-2 infections will require ICU admission, multi-modal organ support including Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) for severe refractory cardiac and/or pulmonary failure. Prolonged mechanical ventilation is a typical indication for tracheostomy. Percutaneous tracheostomy at the bedside has several advantages over surgical tracheostomy. However, with the emerging pandemic, there is a lack of literature regarding the safety of percutaneous bedside tracheostomy for patients with COVID-19 supported by ECMO. Our study aims to describe the safety of bedside percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy of confirmed COVID-19 positive patients supported on ECMO.
An adult pilot study to establish the normal reference range and optimal cutoffs for the oral 50g Sucrose Challenge Test (SCT) and the 50g 13C-Sucrose Breath Test (CBT) for patients with CSID and healthy controls. This study will enroll 120 healthy controls and 50 CSID patients. No study drug will be administered during this study.
Assessment of of the biological effects of curcumin on microbiota in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia
The aim of this retrospective study is to define the paraneural (fascial) sheath and fascial compartments that surround the brachial plexus at the supraclavicular fossa by reviewing previous ultrasound images from cases that have undergone ultrasound guided selective trunk brachial plexus block.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical lot-to-lot consistency of the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) maternal (RSV MAT) vaccine administered to healthy non-pregnant women 18-49 years of age (YOA). In addition, this study will evaluate immunogenicity, safety and reactogenicity from co-administration of RSV MAT vaccine and GSK's quadrivalent seasonal influenza (Flu D-QIV) vaccine.
This was a prospective, two-arm, non-interventional study of JAKAVI® (Ruxolitinib) in patients with myelofibrosis
This study aims to evaluate the effects of an online exercise and peer support intervention for people living with COPD. In the framework of a randomized control trial, 24 adults with COPD will be recruited to participate in the study and will be randomly assigned to either the control or intervention group. The control group will participate in an 8-week virtual program based on the exercise component of a standard home-based pulmonary rehabilitation program (one online consultation and 7 phone calls with a kinesiologist). The intervention group will participate in a twice a week online intervention that includes an exercise component based on individuals' activities of daily living and a peer support component where individuals will be taught and encouraged to discuss behaviour change techniques that have been shown to help support increased participation in physical activity and/or exercise. The goal of this study is to determine the efficacy of the novel online exercise intervention and whether the benefits are above other intervention options.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of enamel deproteinization on the initial shear bond strength (SBS) and on the bracket/adhesive failure mode of orthodontic brackets bonded with a self-etching primer (SEP) as a primary objective. As secondary objective a Raman microscopy study was performed to assess the resin penetration into the enamel according to the three bonding protocols.
Researchers are looking for a better way to treat women who have hot flashes after women have been through the menopause. Hot flashes are caused by the hormonal changes that happen when a woman's body has been through the menopause. Menopause is when women stop having a menstrual cycle, also called a period. During the menopause, the ovaries increasingly produce less sex hormones as a result of the natural ageing process and related hormonal adjustments. The decline in hormone production can lead to various symptoms which, in some cases, can have a very adverse effect on a menopausal woman's quality of life. The study treatment, elinzanetant, was developed to treat symptoms caused by hormonal changes. It works by blocking a protein called neurokinin from sending signals to other parts of the body, which is thought to play a role in starting hot flashes. There are treatments for hot flashes in women who have been through the menopause, but may cause medical problems for some people. In this study, the researchers will learn how well elinzanetant works compared to a placebo in women who have been through the menopause and have hot flashes. A placebo looks like a treatment but does not have any medicine in it. To compare these study treatments, the doctors will ask the participants to record information about the participants' hot flashes in an electronic diary. The researchers will study the number of hot flashes the participants have and how severe the hot flashes are. The researchers will look at the results from before treatment, after 4 weeks, and after 12 weeks of treatment. The participants in this study will take two capsules of either elinzanetant or the placebo once a day. The participants who take elinzanetant will take it for 26 weeks. The participants who take the placebo will take it for 12 weeks and then take elinzanetant for the next 14 weeks. During the study, the participants will visit the site approximately 9 times and perform 1 visit by phone. Each participant will be in the study for approximately 36 weeks. The treatment duration will be 26 weeks. During the study, the participants will: - record information about the participants' hot flashes in an electronic diary - answer questions about the participants' symptoms The doctors will: - check the participants' health - take blood samples - ask the participants questions about what medicines the participants are taking and if the participants are having adverse events An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events that happen in studies, even if doctors do not think the adverse events might be related to the study treatments.
The primary objective of this study is to identify and describe patient behaviors and clinical outcomes among patients who have tested positive for mild to moderate COVID-19.
