Filter by:Prebiotics as bovine colostrum are considered as a valuable supplement in the prevention of upper respiratory tract infections, gastrointestinal tract infections and neonatal sepsis. It contains many bioactive substances, such as immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, lysozyme, lactoperoxidase, and other growth factors.There is a lack of research on the use of prebiotics for prophylaxis against recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI) in children.In this era of increasing bacterial resistance to antimicrobial therapy, bovine colostrum can offer an approach for prophylaxis against UTI in these patients.We aim at this trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bovine colostrum as a prebiotic for prophylaxis against recurrent urinary tract infection in children.
Patients with recurrent UTI were randomized to receive either the probiotic Sacchromyces Boulardii at enrollment, and the intracellularly active Ciprofloxacin with their first UTI episode after enrollment, or they received standard of care treatment.
The goal of this non-inferiority randomized controlled trial: is to test the hypothesis that the that there is no additional benefit from a longer course (7 days) versus a shorter course (2 days) of pre-operative antibiotics in patients with moderate to high risk of infection undergoing ureteroscopy. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Determine the safety and efficacy of a short course (2 days) as compared to a long course (7 days) 2. Identify secondary predictors of post-operative infectious complications
The Purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenous HRS -8427 in patients with complicated urinary tract infection, including acute pyelonephritis.
The goal of this clinical study is to test NRX101 in participants with complicated urinary tract infections including pyelonephritis. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does NRX101 help participants resolve UTIs? - Is NRX101 safe for participants with UTIs? Participants will be seen in a doctor's office approximately 6 times to: - Answer a short 10 item questionnaire. - Review of side effects - Urine tests - Blood draw (about 10 ml or 2 teaspoons) - Review of medications - Review any signs or symptoms of UTI - Vital signs and weight (including blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature) - Review of medical history This is an open-label study of NRX101, which means both you and your doctor know what drug you are taking. After the study is completed, researchers will look at the data to see if NRX101 helps participants with complicated UTI's.
Recurrent urinary tract infection (rUTI) is a common and difficult to treat problem with limited treatment option; postmenopausal women are disproportionately affected. The genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) describes the broad spectrum of signs and symptoms caused by the loss of endogenous sex steroids. The combined effects of urogenital epithelial tissue thinning and changes to the vaginal and bladder microbiome can predispose to ascending UTIs. Recurrent UTIs is a component of GSM. Intravaginal laser therapy has been shown to be safe and effective for the treatment of GSM, however, the role of laser for treatment of recurrent UTIs is unknown. We hypothesis that the incidence of UTI will be reduced as CO2 laser restores vaginal epithelium to a state similar to that of a pre-menopausal woman, preventing microtrauma, and increases Lactobacillus and normal flora (Athanasiou et al., 2016). Lactobacillus is considered the bacteria that helps keep the vagina healthy and infection free through its production of lactic acid which lowers vaginal pH, this more acidic environment may be protective from uropathogens. We therefore aim to conduct a single-blinded, multi-centre, randomised controlled trial comparing the use of intravaginal CO2 laser therapy to sham in post-menopausal women with rUTIs and to determine the impact on the microbiome.
The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of orally administered bovine lactoferrin (bLF) on Urinary Tract Infections in neonates and infants. Fifty-five patients with urinary tract infection were randomized to receive either bLF (n = 27) or an identical placebo (n = 28) for 4 weeks. The patients were assessed clinically and laboratory.
The goal of this two-arm parallel cluster-randomized trial of 40 hospitals is to test the effectiveness of the ROAD Home Intervention on days of antibiotic overuse at discharge in patients hospitalized with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) or urinary tract infection (UTI). The main question it aims to answer is: Does an antibiotic stewardship approach that is customized to the needs, goals, and resources of a hospital (i.e., the ROAD Home Intervention) compared to standard stewardship approaches reduce antibiotic overuse at discharge in hospitalized patients with CAP and UTI? The investigators will randomize 20 hospitals in the Michigan Hospital Medicine Safety Consortium (HMS) to the intervention group and 20 HMS hospitals to the "usual care" control group. During the study the investigators will: (a) assess baseline performance, existing stewardship strategies, hospital priorities, and resources; (b) develop a customized discharge stewardship "suite" for each intervention hospital based on the findings of the baseline assessment and informed by the ROAD Home Framework; and (c) support hospitals in selecting strategies and creating an implementation blueprint to be implemented over 12 to 15 months. After the intervention period, the investigators will compare days of antibiotic overuse at discharge and patient outcomes between intervention and "usual care" hospitals. It is hypothesized that hospitals randomized to the ROAD Home Intervention will have fewer days of antibiotic overuse at discharge compared to "stewardship as usual" control hospitals.
The aim of this study was to determine the genital hygiene practices of women in different regions of Turkey and the factors influencing these practices. It is a descriptive, cross-sectional study. The study was conducted according to the STROBE checklist.
The control of antibiotic resistance requires a reduction in inappropriate prescriptions of broad-spectrum antibiotics (amoxillin-clavulanate (AMC), fluoroquinolones (FQ), third-generation cephalosporins (C3G)), particularly for urinary tract infections treated in primary care. Several studies have reported the positive impact of antibiotic susceptibility testing performed on urine cultures on the appropriate use of antibiotics. The "selective reporting for antibiotic susceptibility testing ", defined as the restriction of the list of antibiotics mentioned in the report according to the antibiotic resistance profile, would allow, according to observational studies, a reduction of 25 to 70% of the initial prescriptions of broad-spectrum antibiotics and a 20% rate of antibiotic de-escalation (=reduction of the antibacterial spectrum of an antibiotic treatment after re-evaluation). The objective is to assess the impact of disseminating a selective reporting for antibiotic susceptibility testing on the dispensing of broad-spectrum antibiotics prescribed by general practitioners (GPs) for E. coli positive urine cultures in adult women, compared to the dissemination of a standard antibiotic susceptibility testing.
