Filter by:The primary purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of oral TBP-PI-HBr as compared with intravenous (IV) imipenem-cilastatin with respect to the overall response (combined clinical cure plus microbiological eradication) at the Test-of-Cure (TOC) visit in hospitalized adult participants (≥18 years of age) with cUTI or AP.
Non-RCT clinical trial comparing 5-ALA photodynamic therapy and CO2 laser for persistent high-risk HPV-related low-grade cervical lesions.
Colistin can be used to treat the infection caused by carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae(CRE). In China, patients diagnosed with Hospital-acquired-pneumonia (HAP)or bloodstream infection caused by CRE are recruited, and randomly assigned to two groups, and in one group the patients accept treatment with colistin, however in another group, the patients accept treatment without colistin. The efficacy and safety of the treatment between the two groups are compared.
This study investigates Faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in prevention of recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused either by sensitive E. coli or ESBL-E. coli.
The goal of this observational study is to review whether postoperative infections can be detected earlier by a continuous measurement of body temperature of patients compared to single daily measurements. Within 25 weeks 100 patients, which underwent visceral surgery less than 48h ago, will be included. A patch (Steadytemp ®) will be attached to participants, continuously measuring the body temperature. In addition infection parameters and medication of the participants will be documented.
A novel polyethylene-based knee spacer (United Cellbrick Knee Spacer), for the purpose of infection control, was developed to enhance biomechanical safety and surgical convenience of articulating knee spacers. In the present study, Articulating Spacers were compared to the United Cellbrick Knee Spacers in a practical setting to enhance our understanding of the safety and performance of United Cellbrick Knee Spacer.
There are conflicting results in the literature explaining the relationship between surgical site infection (SSI) and inadvertent perioperative hypothermia (IPH). Although it is thought that the risk of IPH is lower in laparoscopic surgery types due to the short duration of the surgical procedure, these conflicting results raise doubts as to whether there is a relationship between IPH and SSI in laparoscopic surgery patients. A randomized controlled study will be planned in the future to examine the effect of IPH on SSI in patients who will undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomies. The study will be conducted in the general surgery clinic and operating room of a university hospital. It will be completed with a total of 100 patients, 50 of whom will be in the case group, and 50 will be in the control group.
The goal of this observational study is to investigate the proportion of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection in school contacts of active tuberculosis (ATB) patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: - the proportion of MTB infection among school contacts of ATB patients - risk factors related to tuberculosis (TB) infection - health economic evaluation of screening strategy
Clostridioides difficile (formerly Clostridium) is a bacterium found in the form of spores (resistance form) in the environment to which patients may be exposed. This bacterium used to belong to the Clostridium genus, but analysis of its 16S ribosomal RNA in 2016 led to its being distinguished from it. Once the spore has been ingested, it can germinate in vegetative form (the active form of the bacterium), taking on the appearance of a Gram-positive bacillus that will colonize the digestive microbiota. This preliminary stage of digestive colonization by the bacteria is facilitated by certain factors, notably nasogastric probing, antacids, etc. Antibiotics, for their part, disrupt the bacteria of the digestive microbiota (dysbiosis), thus facilitating the implantation of C. difficile. Certain strains (known as toxigenic) will produce the main virulence factors: toxins A (TcdA) and B (TcdB) ± a third toxin (binary toxin or CDT), and thus cause the main clinical signs of digestive infection, particularly in patients with risk factors for C. difficile infection (progressive cancer, immunodepression, etc.). Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is characterized by variable clinical presentations, ranging from simple watery diarrhea without colitis, which often resolves spontaneously, to severe forms with complications such as pseudomembranous colitis, intestinal perforation or septic shock, which have a very poor prognosis. Management of this type of CDI relies mainly on the oral administration of anti-clostridium difficile antibiotics such as fidaxomicin (FDX) or vancomycin (VAN) for 10 days, as recommended by the European ESCMID, British and American IDSA guidelines. Oral metronidazole is recommended only in the absence of availability of the first two molecules (community use). Despite this treatment, one of the main characteristics of CDI is a high recurrence rate, which can reach 25% of cases. With FDX, recurrence rates appear to be lower, especially as its administration regimen is optimized. Nevertheless, its high cost is a barrier to its wider use. In view of the high cost to the community of treating recurrences, and the reduced quality of life of patients suffering from these recurrences, which are sometimes multiple and highly incapacitating, reducing the occurrence of recurrences is a major challenge. A better understanding of the factors leading to recurrence is therefore a prerequisite for optimizing CDI prevention and treatment strategies. The study of colonic mucosal immunity (aimed at quantifying IgA in stools) could also contribute to a better understanding of patient progress. All these issues surrounding CDI and its management justify the setting up of a prospective cohort for the longitudinal follow-up of infected patients, enabling us to study the digestive clearance of the bacteria according to various factors, notably the digestive microbiota and the mucosal immune response.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about infectious complications in patients affected by B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia treated with inotuzumab-ozogamicin (INO). The main question it aims to answer is: • incidence of infectious complications (bacterial, fungal, viral) in patients receiving inotuzumab ozogamicin up to 60 days after the end of treatment
