Filter by:COVID-19 may cause severe pneumonitis that require ventilatory support in some patients, the ICU mortality is as high as 62%. Hospitals do not have enough ICU beds to handle the demand and to date there is no effective cure. We explore a treatment administered in a randomized clinical trial that could prevent ICU admission and reduce mortality. The overall hypothesis to be evaluated is that HBO reduce mortality, increase hypoxia tolerance and prevent organ failure in patients with COVID19 pneumonitis by attenuating the inflammatory response.
The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome COronaVirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) is a new and recognized infectious disease of the respiratory tract. Most cases are mild or asymptomatic. However, around 5% of all patients develop Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), which is the leading mortality cause in these patients. Corticosteroids have been tested in deferent scenarios of ARDS, including viral pneumonia, and the early use of dexamethasone is safe and appears to reduce the duration of mechanical ventilation in ARDS patients. Nevertheless, no large, randomized, controlled trial was performed evaluating the role of corticosteroids in patients with ARDS due SARS-CoV2 virus. Therefore, the present study will evaluate the effectiveness of dexamethasone compared to control (no corticosteroids) in patients with moderate and severe ARDS due to SARS-CoV2 virus.
The goal of this study is to evaluate if CT (Computerized Tomography) can effectively and accurately predict disease progression in patients with SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2). You may be eligible if you have been diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2, are an inpatient at Beaumont Hospital-Royal Oak and meet eligibility criteria. After consent and determination of eligibility, enrolled patients will have a CT scanning session. After the CT scan, patients are followed for 30 days by reviewing their medical records and by phone after discharge from hospital.
The use of Allosure to identify and quantify circulating donor-derived cell-free DNA to quantitate allograft injury in the early post-transplant period and determine its relationship to allograft failure.
This randomized study evaluates the effectiveness of the a probiotic formula, compared with the antibiotic rifaximin, in the treatment of Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) in Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) patients.
This study will be performed to evaluate the Clinical Outcomes and Quality of Life after Transarterial Radioembolization with Yttrium-90 (TARE-Y90) in Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults with Liver Tumors. The treatment and techniques used here are well established in adults. The purpose of this study is to evaluate: 1. the response to treatment and clinical outcomes of treatment with TARE Y-90 as part of standard therapy and 2. to assess the change in the patient's quality of life before, during and after treatment with TARE-Y90
The aim of this study is to investigate whether ingestion of curcumin will prevent hepatic insulin resistance (assessed by homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR)) induced by short-term oral glucocorticoid (prednisolone) administration in overweight and obese participants. As a secondary endpoint it will be investigated if prednisolone administration induce or worsen the degree of NAFLD in overweight or obese participants using magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy (MRS), and if curcumin can ameliorate this effect. Also, the possible anti-inflammatory effect of curcumin will be elucidated as a range of inflammatory markers before and after intervention will be measured. Thus, prednisolone treatment is used as a model of development of pre-diabetes.
The primary objectives of this study are: Phase 1: To evaluate the safety of sequenced therapy with lenzilumab and axicabtagene ciloleucel in participants with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma and identify the most appropriate dose of lenzilumab for Phase 2. Phase 2: To evaluate the incidence of neurologic events with sequenced therapy given at the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of lenzilumab in participants with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma.
To characterize the safety and tolerability profile of ascending doses of scopolamine hydrobromide trihydrate (Scopolamine HBT) administered by intramuscular (IM) injection. And characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of ascending doses of Scopolamine HBT administered by IM injection
The purpose of this study is to apply Avazzia micro-current stimulation to patients with chronic, non-healing wounds to determine if this therapy is effective in perfusion and bacterial measurements.
