Filter by:One of the most serious complications in the critically ill patient complaining of bulbar palsy is aspiration pneumonia. These patients are scheduled for nasogastric tube feeding trying to avoid recurrent aspiration and subsequent aspiration pneumonia. Even though, the risk of aspiration is still present. Putting a total parenteral nutrition regimen for these patients is a supposed strategy to avoid aspiration pneumonia till recovery from bulbar palsy or planning for tracheostomy and or feeding gastrostomy.
To establish the relative accuracy of the LIAISON® NES Flu A/B, RSV & COVID-19 assay for viral nucleic acid targets from professionally collected or patient self-collected dry nasal (NS) swabs and to establish the relative accuracy of the LIAISON PLEX® RSP Flex assay from NS and nasopharyngeal swabs (NPS) in applicable transport media from human patients exhibiting clinical signs and symptoms of a respiratory tract infection.
Pediatric community acquired pneumonia (CAP) is one of the most common reasons for hospital admission, there is no reliable way of distinguishing the causative organism based on clinical features. This study examined common pathogens of community-acquired pneumonia from 28 days up to 10 years in Dakahlia Governorate.
Respiratory diseases are associated with high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Proper diagnosis and risk assessment of these conditions are essential for optimal management. Clinicians use three particularly useful tools to identify these conditions when assessing the patient's status: the stethoscope, the pulse oximeter, and the thermometer. The Pneumoscope is an all-in-one device including a digital stethoscope, a pulse oximeter, and a thermometer. This study aims to assess the performance and safety of the Pneumoscope in recording respiratory sounds, body temperature, non-invasive blood oxygen saturation levels and heart rate in children and adults.
Given the challenges of treating complex cases of VAP caused by P. aeruginosa and K. pneumoniae, TechnoPhage developed a bacteriophage cocktail (TP-122) against those pathogens, aiming to provide a hospital-based add-on therapy to the SoC including antibiotic therapy, administered by nebulization. TP-122 is a bacteriophage cocktail divided in two different components: TP-122A is comprised of three bacteriophages against infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and TP-122B includes three bacteriophages against K. pneumoniae . For this study, an effective sample of 15 subjects will be randomly allocated into two arms, in a 3:2 ratio, with 9 subjects receiving TP-122A, in addition to SoC, and 6 subjects receiving the SoC alone.
To determine if clinicians can safely reduce antibiotic exposure in children with medical complexity (CMC) who are diagnosed with pneumonia by implementing an intervention that bases total antibiotic duration on an individual's clinical stability.
Sepsis and septic shock are among main causes of death in patients with severe Covid-19 pneumonia. A few factors are proven to predict sepsis in these patients. WIth near infrared spectroscopy it is possible to detect microcirculatory changes typical for sepsis early in the course of disease. The hypothesis that changes in tissue oxygene saturation during vasoocclusive test predict sepsis as well as mortality in mechancally ventilated patients withe severe Covid-19 pneumonia will be tested.
Evaluation of ultra low dose protocols and Iomeron 400 contrast in PCD-CT
Objectives: This study aims to assess the effectiveness of a novel digital stethoscope curriculum integrated into respiratory auscultation training for medical students. It seeks to compare the auscultation proficiency gained through this innovative approach with that from traditional teaching methods, to understand the potential of digital stethoscopes in reinvigorating clinical skills training. Methods: In a single-center, controlled, longitudinal, randomized experimental design, 84 medical students undergoing clinical clerkship rotations at Chung Shan Medical University Hospital were enrolled. Participants were randomly assigned to either the intervention group, receiving training with digital stethoscopes and the Eko auscultation software, or the control group, following a traditional curriculum. Pre- and post-intervention assessments measured auscultation skills, and student feedback on teaching quality was collected. The primary outcome was the improvement in auscultation proficiency, while secondary outcomes included student engagement and feedback on the educational approach. Expected Results: The investigators hypothesize that the integration of digital stethoscopes into the curriculum will significantly improve the auscultation skills of medical students compared to traditional methods. Enhanced engagement and positive feedback from students are anticipated, underscoring the pedagogical value of incorporating digital health technologies in medical education.
To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of compound probiotic in shortening the course of illness in children with viral pneumonia, in comparison with placebo.
