Filter by:Retrospective analysis with subgroup evaluation Primary objectives of the data analysis study: 1 Retrospective analysis of the symptoms and quality of life data of patients with mild, acute (<96 hours) upper respiratory symptoms based on the results of standard health assessment questionnaires used at the institution, over a period of 10-15 days after the SARS CoV-2 PCR test. Secondary objectives 1 Retrospective assessment of the upper respiratory tract symptoms and quality of life and serological parameters of the contact persons with confirmed close exposure to SARS CoV-2 PCR positive patients (based on the results of the standard health assessment questionnaires used at the institution in the period of 10-15 days after the SARS CoV-2 PCR test) The retrospective analysis also includes an assessment of the pharmacological and supplementary therapies used in patients presenting with mild, acute (<96 hours) upper respiratory symptoms and SARS CoV-2 positive contacts, as well as the incidence of SARS CoV-2 virus infection in contacts confirmed by PCR test (based on values measured within 48 hours and 10-15 days later), and an analysis of patients' serological data.
Reducing inappropriate antibiotic use is a key strategy to mitigate antibiotic resistance and adverse health effects associated with antibiotic exposure. The Broad Implementation of Outpatient Stewardship (BIOS) project focuses on broadly implementing an evidence-based intervention to improve antibiotic prescribing for acute respiratory tract infections in pediatric outpatient settings. Primary aims include: (1) examining the acceptability, feasibility and utility of a focused implementation strategy on improving intervention adoption and impact and (2) measuring the effectiveness of the intervention to reduce unnecessary broad-spectrum antibiotic prescription.
The study aims to characterize the distributive pattern of viruses in upper airway and its relationship with influenza seasons, symptomatology and exposure setting. A total of 500 adults residing in Hong Kong would be recruited, who would complete a questionnaire and return self-collected nasal and throat swabs for metagenomic analyses.
A Phase 2a, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple ascending dose study in patients who are hospitalized with presumed pneumonia requiring supplemental oxygen therapy. The purpose of this study is to examine the safety, tolerability and efficacy of AV-001 Injection administration daily to the earlier of day 28 or EOT (day prior to hospital discharge). A total of 120 eligible patients (20 patients in each of cohort 1, 2 and 3 and 60 patients in cohort 4) will be recruited from up to 25 participating institutions/hospitals. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either AV-001 Injection or AV-001 placebo Injection, together with standard of care (SOC).
Last Mile Health (LMH) has partnered with the Liberian Ministry of Health (MOH) to support the design and implementation of the National Community Health Assistant Program (NCHAP). In collaboration with MOH, LMH is planning to conduct an impact evaluation in Grand Bassa to assess the effect of the National Community Health Assistant Program (NCHAP) on health outcomes, as well as to learn lessons around program operations and implementation. Our central hypothesis is that Community Health Assistants (CHAs) within the NCHAP will reduce under 5 mortality, as a result of expanding access to and uptake of health care utilization in remote communities. We will use a mixed effects discrete survival model, taking advantage of the staggered program implementation in Grand Bassa districts over a period of 4 years to compare the incidence of under-5 child mortality between the pre- and post-CHW program implementation periods.
This is a Phase 1, randomized, double-blinded, placebo controlled, dose escalation study of HH-120 in healthy adult volunteers. HH-120 is a novel inhalable biologic being developed for COVID-19 treatment. The study aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic profile of HH-120 administered by aerosol inhalation after single and multiple ascending doses.
In this study the investigators record sounds of voice, breaths and cough of subjects who tested positive for COVID19. The investigators then feed these sounds into an artificial intelligence and see if it can learn to recognise features to make COVID19 diagnosis from these sounds in order to avoid to use swabs to test the general population.
This study aimed to determine the role of in situ simulation training during a pandemic by using standard and high-fidelity mannequins to improve interprofessional communication, skills, and teamwork in transferring critically ill COVID-19 patients.
The goal of this project is to determine the efficacy of a treatment method that increase a participants sense of smell after suffering from COVID-19 related decline in smell. Participants have to be greater than 14 days from positive COVID-19 test and still have a decreased sense of smell. https://jaoa.org/article.aspx?articleid=2765119 this article is a review of literature regarding why OMT can have a positive effect on individuals suffering from COVID-19 Anosmia: Complete loss of smell Hyposmia: Decrease in smell
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Nirsevimab, in Healthy Preterm and Term Infants in China
