Filter by:Clindamycin and rifampicin are authorized in osteoarticular infection treatment (IDSA guidelines) but some interaction is observed. The objective of this study is to evaluate and quantify rifampicin interaction on clindamycin
The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of sofosbuvir /velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) fixed-dose combination (FDC) in participants with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) who have received a liver transplant.
The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) fixed-dose combination (FDC) and SOF/VEL FDC and ribavirin (RBV) for 12 weeks in participants with chronic genotype 3 hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and compensated cirrhosis.
This study aimed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of maraviroc in infants at risk for mother-to-child HIV transmission, and to determine an appropriate dose of maraviroc during the first six weeks of life.
The purpose of this work was to study the incidence, types, risk factors and causative organisms of bacterial infections in HCV Egyptian patients following Liver Transplantation. Moreover, to identify the emerging resistant strains and their proper antimicrobial therapy
There is considerable interest in using in-wound antibiotics (IWA) to prevent infection after spine surgery. An adequate evaluation of IWA is lacking and prior studies are limited by confounding and bias. This prospective study will enroll spine surgeons across the country to complete a survey about their knowledge, attitudes, and practices for using in-wound antibiotics.
Introduction Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a severe complication to hip arthroplasty for femoral neck fractures (FNF). Debridement, antibiotics and implant retention (DAIR) is recommended in early PJI in association with stable implants. Few studies have evaluated the outcome of DAIR in this fragile population.The purpose of this study was to analyze risk factors for PJI and the short-term outcome of DAIR in FNF patients treated with a hip arthroplasty. Methods A consecutive series of patients had been treated with either a total hip arthroplasty or a hemi hip arthroplasty for a displaced FNF at our institution. Data were retrospective analysed.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of FMT in patients with C. difficile and cancer. In previous other studies, FMT has been shown to cure C. difficile when antibiotics have failed, but most of these studies have not included patients with cancer. The investigators want to prove that FMT is safe in this group of people so that doctors will feel more comfortable prescribing it for their patients with cancer.
This Phase 2 Quadrivalent VLP Vaccine study is intended to replicate and extend the immunogenicity and safety results obtained in earlier Phase 1-2 and Phase 2 studies. The study is being conducted to demonstrate that the immunogenicity profile of the Quadrivalent VLP Vaccine meets the US Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) licensure criteria. The study will also help to define the optimal dose, establish potential competitive advantages, and support the design of future studies.
Community Case Management (CCM) is a clinical decision aid used by frontline Health Surveillance Assistants (HSAs) in Malawi to manage uncomplicated cases of pneumonia and malaria (amongst other conditions). Children identified has having complicated illness are urgently referred to larger health facilities better equipped to clinically manage these more complex presentations. There is evidence to suggest HSAs are missing opportunities to refer seriously ill children, and parents/caregivers are failing to comply with urgent referral recommendations when given; reducing the overall effectiveness of the CCM strategy. Use of mobile technology for deploying CCM has been demonstrated in prior research as feasible to evaluate, acceptable to health workers and parents/caregivers and improving health worker fidelity to the guidelines, but it is unknown if this translates into increased referral and referral completion rates. This trial seeks to evaluate the added value of a purpose developed mobile solution for CCM, called Supporting LIFE electronic Community Case Management (SL eCCM App) on HSA referral and parent/caregiver health seeking behavior.
