Filter by:The NANO follow-up study is designed to determine whether a simple, cost-effective intervention- withholding antibiotics at birth- reduces clinically relevant outcomes such as behavioral and neurological impairment at 2 years of age. This study will be the largest study evaluating the effects of early antibiotics in children with comprehensive measures of neurodevelopment linked to genomic variants and microbiota interactions.
The purpose of the UCSD Human Milk Biorepository is to establish and maintain a repository of breast milk samples that can be used to learn more about how breast milk influences infant and child health.
This study is a retrospective, observational, monocenter case series. The purpose of this study is to collect clinical data to describe the use of POLYSITE® and SEESITE® devices and verify overall safety and performance. This study is part of the Post-Market Clinical Follow-up (PMCF) activities of the PEROUSE MEDICAL manufacturer. The primary data source for this study was patient's medical records from a French Hospital. The study population was defined as all patients who did receive POLYSITE® and SEESITE®. Data from a minimum of 50 patients were planned for the statistical review.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate performance and safety of POLYSITE® and SEESITE® implantable ports allowing repeated and prolonged access to the venous system for the administration of chemotherapy, antibiotics, antiviral drugs, parenteral nutrition, and for blood transfusion or blood derivatives transfusion.
During hysterectomy bacteria may enter into the peritoneal cavity through vaginal opening and contaminate the healing tissues. The risk for deep infection after hysterectomy is about 5%. By reducing post-hysterectomy infections, it is possible to reduce individual burden of disease in addition to the direct and indirect financial costs. This study primary aim is to assess if prophylactic preoperative use of azithromycin in addition to generally used cefuroxime decreases post-hysterectomy infections as compared to cefuroxime only prophylaxis during 30 days after hysterectomy. Secondary aim is to assess if there is change in post-hysterectomy superficial infections, urinary tract infections, or post-operative fever between the cohorts and to report possible side-effects of the used antibiotics. In addition, the study finds out a possible role of bacterial vaginosis and microbiome n post-hysterectomy infections.
Intra-abdominal infection is one of the most serious complications after pancreatic resection. The preventive use of antibiotics intraoperatively could reduce the incidence rate of postoperative intra-abdominal infection. According to the previous retrospective study, changes of serum lactate level on postoperative day1 could predict the incidence rate of postoperative intra-abdominal infection. This prospective RCT is to further validate and promote the findings and conclusion.
The purpose of this real world study is to observe the clinical status for standardized using of antibacterial/anitifungal drugs in patients with infection,and to evaluate the efficacy and safety of anti-infection therapy.
Pilot study to evaluate the feasibility of a pilot embedded pragmatic cluster randomized controlled trial to reduce the duration of antibiotic therapy and number of antibiotic prescriptions in nursing home residents with AD/ADRD.
Periodontitits is a bacteria induced inflammatory disease that destroys the supporting tissues of the tooth and leads to tooth loss. Treatment consists mainly of the mechanical cleaning of the tooth surfaces in order to remove the bacterial deposits (plaque and calculus). This procedure can reduce the level of pathogenic bacteria but it can not eradicate them. In severe cases, for the complete resolution of the disease, the elimantion of certain species of bacteria is needed. In order to achieve that, the combination of different regimens of antibiotics adjunctive to the mechanical treatment has been proposed. However, dosage and duration of antimicrobial therapy should be optimal and not excessive as issues may arise related to increased antimicrobial resistance in the population and the individual due to habitual prescription of wide-spectrum antibiotic regimens, horizontal gene transfer and genetic mutation. In the present study, in an effort to optimize the dosage and duration of the antimicrobial regimen, we will determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) properties of the MET-AMO combination and of AZI in Gingival Crevicular Fluid (GCF), saliva and serum in severe periodontitis patients during and after either a 3-day or a 7-day course of treatment.
The inappropriate use of antibiotics by patients not only increases the growth of resistant bacterial strains but also, may lead to adverse side effects that range from gastrointestinal disturbances to fatal anaphylactic shock. To meet the challenges faced by the spread of antibiotics resistance, different approaches have been taken worldwide. One of the approaches which are commonly proposed is to engage instructional and educational campaigns among the health care personnel and the general population about antibiotic resistance and its dangerous consequences.The present study aims at assessing the knowledge, practices of antibiotic uses and resistance before and after educational sessions among second year dental students and a group of patients attending MIU Dental Clinics.
