Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and Immunogenicity characteristics of GR2001 and compare the anti-tetanus neutralizing antibody titers of GR2001 with human tetanus immunoglobulin (HTIG)in healthy adult subjects.
This study aims to investigate the feasibility of using a real-time artificial intelligent (AI)-assisted tool for Rectus Femoris cross sectional area measurement from muscle ultrasound to improve reliability, reduce inter- and intra-observer variability and reduce operator time spent on ultrasound examination
Intramuscular (IM) vaccination administered using the right injection technique is known to cause less pain and injury. Nurses employ different approaches like applying pressure, tapping the skin, cold and hot applications for reducing the pain caused by the IM vaccine administration. Helfer skin tap is among the techniques that relax muscles. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of Helfer skin tap technique on pain reduction and hemodynamic parameters during tetanus injection in pregnant women. This study was conducted on pregnant women who applied to the Family Health Center to get a tetanus vaccine. The Helfer skin tap and standard application groups each included 33 and 32 pregnant women, respectively.
TNM002 Injection is a recombinant fully human native monoclonal antibody (mAb) against tetanus toxin and is currently under development for indication of prophylaxis against tetanus.
The primary objective is to compare the anti-tetanus neutralizing antibody titers of TNM002 Injection with human tetanus immunoglobulin (HTIG) following a single intramuscular (IM) injection in Chinese adult volunteers.
Despite neuromuscular transmission monitoring and pharmacological reversal allowing a train of four ratio recovery higher than 0.9, patients receiving neuromuscular blocking agent during general anesthesia have a high risk of postoperative pulmonary complications. While this train of four ratio threshold is considered as the gold standard to confirm the lack of residual paralysis, tetanus 100 Hz stimulation showed a marked fade. This result has been observed in absence of reversal agent administration. Therefore, the present study has been designed to compare the recovery of train of four stimulation, tetanus 50 Hz and tetanus 100 Hz stimulation in patient receiving rocuronium during general anesthesia and reversed by an anticholinesterase agent (neostigmine). Neostigmine will be injected once four muscular contractions of the adductor pollicis muscle will be observed after a train of four stimulation, at a dose (40 µg/kg) in accordance with the clinical practice worldwide admitted. Two questions have to be investigated. First, is this dose of neostigmine sufficient to allow a complete recovery of tetanus stimulations ? Second, due to the pharmacological properties of neostigmine, does a recurarisation phenomenon occur following repeated tetanus stimulations ? The attented results of this study will be to propose a new thinking on what we really need to make relevant progress in the safety aspects of residual paralysis outcome.

This result has been observed in absence of reversal agent administration. Therefore, the present study has been designed to compare the recovery of train of four stimulation, tetanus 50 Hz and tetanus 100 Hz stimulation in patient receiving rocuronium during general anesthesia and reversed by a specific reversal agent (sugammadex). The sugammedex will be injected once two muscular contractions of the adductor pollicis muscle will be observed after a train of four stimulation, at a dose (2mg/kg) in accordance with the clinical practice worldwide admitted. Two questions have to be investigated. First, is this dose of sugammadex sufficient to allow a complete recovery of tetanus stimulations? Second, due to the pharmacological properties of sugammadex, does a recurarisation phenomenon occur following repeated tetanus stimulations?

The purpose of this study is to evaluate immunogenicity by measuring the seroprotection rate against diphtheria and tetanus at 28 days after vaccination with BR-TD-1001 and Td-pur-inj.
Primary Objectives : - To describe the long-term humoral immune responses to pertussis, diphtheria, and tetanus after homologous and heterologous pertussis vaccine priming regimens - To determine the effects of the priming regimen on humoral responses to booster vaccination with Tdap-IPV vaccine - To describe the long-term cell-mediated immune responses to pertussis after homologous and heterologous pertussis vaccine priming regimens - To determine the effects of the priming regimen on cell-mediated immune response to booster vaccination with Tdap-IPV vaccine Secondary Objective: To describe the safety profile of Tdap-IPV vaccine in each group
Faced with high rates of immunization drop-out, Uganda's immunization program requires innovative approaches to address this weakness. Building upon Uganda's growing mHealth infrastructure to pilot a scalable short message service (SMS) system to remind caregivers of their children's upcoming vaccination visits, it was hypothesized that the SMS intervention will increase immunization coverage in a cost-effective and affordable manner that would make it scalable. The study design was an investigator-blinded, multi-center, parallel groups randomized controlled trial with randomization occurring at the caregiver level in select health facilities of Arua District in Uganda. Enrollment took place at the time of Pentavalent 1 vaccination, and both arms included standard of care provided by the health worker. However, in the intervention arm, caregivers also received SMS text messages reminding them to return for their children's second and third doses of Pentavalent vaccine (four and eight weeks after the first dose of Pentavalent vaccine) and measles-containing vaccine (9 months of age). The primary outcome of interest is vaccination coverage at 12 months of age among children enrolled in the study and will be measured by comparing Penta3 and MCV coverage between arms. The study will also examine the SMS impact on timeliness of vaccine receipt, as it is hypothesized that those children receiving the SMS intervention will be more likely to have timely vaccination than those in the control group. The study will also assess caregiver acceptability and cost-effectiveness of the SMS intervention. In addition to assessing its impact on strengthening the immunization program, this intervention has implications for strengthening other programs of the health system through similar health messaging directed toward caregivers.
