Filter by:Descriptive, retrospective, observational, anonymous, study to evaluate the potential effect of incorporating calcifediol into the therapeutic protocol of patients hospitalized for COVID-19 on mortality and other outcome variables, such as admission to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), to "Gerencia de Atención Integrada (GAI) de Albacete". "Complejo Hospitalario Universitario de Albacete". Albacete (Spain)", based on the files of the MXXI medical records, Information System of the Laboratory (ISL) and Pharmacy.
This is the matched 1:2 case-control study, prospectively collect case and control who are diagnosed with pneumococcal or non-pneumococcal community acquired pneumonia (CAP), accordingly from November 2023 through October 2024. The investigators define a CASE as a person aged ≥60 years due to pneumococcal confirmed CAP either in-patients or out-patients by doctor in charge. While a CONTROL is defined as a person aged ≥60 years due to non-pneumococcal confirmed CAP either in-patients or out-patients by doctor in charge. The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) in pneumococcal CAP in Thai adults aged ≥ 60 years with or without any medical conditions. The main questions it aims to answer is: • What are the effectiveness of PCV13 for preventing all typed, vaccine typed, or non-vaccine typed of pneumococcal CAP among Thai older adults? The investigators retrospectively collect cases and control who are diagnosed with CAP accordingly from January 2012 through October 2023. The investigators define case and control the same as prospective method, but all data were retrieved from archive database. -The investigators select a 1:2 matched control with criteria as follows; 10-year-interval of age, ward (the same patient care such as out or in-patient, or admitted in the same level ward). Participants will be - collated from hospital database regarding their CAP illnesses by pneumococcal and non-pneumococcal pneumonia condition. - explored their vaccine status by either vaccine book checking or hospital database. Researcher will compare the effectiveness of PCV13 to prevent all typed, vaccine typed and non-vaccine typed pneumococcal pneumonia.
The purpose of the protocol is to study the pulmonary microbiome in patients who develop pneumonia.
This is a single center, pragmatic, randomized clinical trial (pRCT) examining whether reporting the results of a negative rapid PCR back to the provider via a pager alert results in decreased vancomycin utilization for critically ill adults with community-acquired pneumonia when compared with usual care.
Determine the efficacy of dexamethasone plus standard of care (SOC) as compared to placebo plus SOC for treating severe hospital-acquired pneumonia in critically ill patients with a proinflammatory phenotype; It's an international phase III, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial.
Pentoxifylline is a xanthine-derived, commercially produced drug approved for the management of intermittent claudication in patients suffering from a chronic occlusive arterial disease of the limbs. Pentoxifylline has been documented to display anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects, as well as some antithrombotic and antiviral effects. This drug has also been shown to reduce lung fibrosis in patients with COVID-19, as well as to prevent thromboembolic events. This work aims to assess the benefit of oral Pentoxifyllin supplementation, in addition to standard antibiotic and other supportive therapy, in the management of hospitalized children with community-acquired pneumonia
Multicenter double-blind placebo-controlled randomized in parallel groups clinical trial.
The primary aim of this single-center, prospective, randomized, controlled, study is to test the hypothesis that inhalation of NO 200 ppm prevents the development of nosocomial pneumonia in patients at risk after cardiac surgery under CPB. The study is interventional. Examination and treatment of patients is carried out in accordance with the approved standards of medical care for the relevant diseases. During the study, no experimental or unregistered (not approved for use) medical or diagnostic procedures in the territory of the Russian Federation will be carried out. The study includes patients admitted to the Cardiac Surgery Department of Cardiology Research Institute of Tomsk National Research Medical Center for elective surgery with CPB.
To evaluate novel microbiological techniques for enhanced Pathogen Identification, assess the speed and efficiency of the integrated approach in providing timely diagnostic results, aiming to reduce the turnaround time for CAP diagnosis and subsequently improve patient outcomes and evaluate the clinical impact of enhanced precision in CAP diagnosis on treatment decisions, including the potential for targeted and more effective antimicrobial therapy based on accurate pathogen identification.
The aim of the research was to examine the effect of oral care bundle application on oral health, salivary pH (power of hydrogen), dry mouth and ventilator associated pneumonia in intubated patients compared to standard oral care.
