Filter by:COVID-19 infection is the cause of the current pandemic, responsible for loss of life and disability at a rate unseen before. Among survivors, the infection may cause lasting damage, such as permanent loss of lung function. This study aims to investigate if pulmonary rehabilitation done via supportive devices may reduce or prevent lung function injury. Patients will be chosen among COVID-19 patients who require hospitalization. Patients then will be divided into two groups, those who had used said devices, and compare them to those who had not used them for any reason. After a month, two groups will be evaluated by respiratory function tests, which are expected to provide the results required for a proper comparison. Pulmonary rehabilitation provided by the supportive devices is expected to either lessen or eliminate a loss of pulmonary function over time, compared to the group who did not use them.
Chest computed tomography of patients having coronavirus disease (COVID-19) will be analyzed with regards to vascular abnormalities (pulmonary embolism and vascular thickening), and their association with lung inflammation. The prevalence, severity, distribution, and prognostic value of chest CT findings will be assessed. Patients with vascular abnormalities will be compared to patients without, which is supposed to provide insights into the prognostic role of such abnormalities, and the potential impact on treatment strategy.
This randomized controled open label clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of Cyproheptadine on the clinical course of patients presenting a severe SARS-COV 2 pneumonia.
Patients over 18 years of age who are admitted to the Intermediate Care Unit of the Clinica del Country and the Clinica la Colina, with symptoms suggestive of severe pneumonia secondary to COVID-19 infection and acute hypoxemic respiratory failure. The primary outcome will be to determine the relationship between body mass index and high-flow cannula therapy success defined as: No need for mechanical ventilation.
This study aims to determine whether patients with different real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (PCR), chest computed tomography (CT) and laboratory findings have different clinical outcomes.
Severe Acute Respiratory Infection (SARI) is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as acute respiratory infection with a history of fever ≥38°C and cough for less than 10 days duration that requires hospital admission. SARI-PREP is a multi-center consortium funded by the CDC Foundation being assembled with the goal of providing the infrastructure to rapidly collect prospective data on clinical risks and outcomes, hospital-level stress, and biologic specimens that will aid in the rapid development of diagnostic and treatment approaches. A current example of a form of SARI to be targeted by SARI-PREP is COVID-19 the acute respiratory infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection. COVID-19 has a broad set of manifestations and severity with a subset of affected patients developing severe disease leading to respiratory failure and other forms of organ dysfunction. As with many outbreaks of novel viral pathogens causing SARI there was no efficacious therapeutic intervention at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, while there is emerging knowledge of clinical risks for severe COVID-19, there remains a paucity of information about the viral dynamics and host responses that might indicate a patient is at high risk for poor outcomes. The COVID-19 pandemic will be the initial target of the SARI-PREP consortium with the overall goal of developing a multi-institutional collaborative network of Acute Care Hospitals that will rapidly enroll, sample, and follow patients admitted with severe COVID-19 and to develop research protocols to rapidly determine demographic, clinical, host molecular, virologic, and institutional correlates of outcome. Overall, the information gained from this effort will help to rapidly inform and improve clinical management of epidemic/pandemic SARI patients.
This a research study to find out whether giving Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) through a Helmet is the same or better than giving CPAP through a Facemask, Nasal Mask, or Nasal Prongs. CPAP can help kids with lung infections breathe easier. The machine delivers pressurized air, which may help people with lung infections breathe more easily. Doctors routinely use a Facemask, Nasal Mask or Nasal Prongs to give CPAP for kids with lung infections, but the researchers want to know whether using Helmet CPAP is the same or better.
This study will be conducted in 2 phases. Phase 1 designed to evaluate safety, tolerability and immunogenicity COVID-19 vaccine (NDV-HXP-S) administered at different doses levels (1, 3, and 10 µg) without adjuvant, and at two different dose levels (1 and 3 µg) with the adjuvant CpG 1018 among healthy adults, (age 18-59 years) (210 subjects). Subjects will receive 2 doses of assigned investigational product (IP) on D1 and D29 (V1 and V3), and be assessed in clinic for safety and reactogenicity at 7 days after each vaccination (day 1 as day vaccination). An interim analysis of Phase 1 data will be conducted as the basis for decisions about advancement to Phase 2 of the study and about treatment group down selection. Phase 2 (250 subjects) will include approximately one-third subjects with age 60-75 years.
COVID-19 is a respiratory disease caused by a new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and causes significant morbidity and mortality. This study is a retrospective trial to assess the efficacy of Remdesivir in adult patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in Mansoura University Isolation Hospital. In this study the investigators will analyze the data collected during treatment.
