Several infectious outbreaks have been described in the literature as a result of contaminated endoscopes. These endoscopes cannot be sterilized and require an extensive cleaning process in which breaches of cleaning protocols, endoscope damage or the formation of biofilm can prevent proper disinfection. The risk of endoscopy associated infection (EAI) and colonization due to contaminated endoscopes is still considered to be low. However, it is likely that there is severe underreporting of outbreaks due to a lack of recognition or assuming an infection to be endogenous. Due to the sheer volume of upper-gastrointestinal endoscopy worldwide, even with a low risk of EAI, the number of affected patients is significant. In response, several manufacturers have turned to the production of single-use endoscopes that eliminate the risk of exogenous infections. There are single use duodenoscopes on the market that almost seem to match the performance of reusable duodenoscopes. A new single use sterile gastroscope, Ambu aScope gastro, has been developed whose performance has not been previously described in patients. This multicenter single arm consecutive case series study will test the performance of these single use gastroscopes in patients undergoing esophagogastroduodenoscopy.
A retrospective, observational analysis of the first one hundred consecutive cases of bacteriophage therapy of difficult-to-treat infections, facilitated by a Belgian consortium.
Cluster randomized controlled trial comparing two bathing strategies in critically ill patients. The intervention group will receive daily bathing with chlorhexidine. The control group will receive usual care.
To compare the rates of incisional surgical site infections (iSSIs) within 7 days of hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) surgery using negative pressure wound therapy (NWPT) versus using standard sterile gauze dressing.
Currently, the world is facing a SARS-CoV2 coronavirus epidemic, which is responsible for COVID-19. In France, this virus has already infected several million people and is responsible for the death of more than 127,000. Infection is associated with a higher number of cardiovascular events (myocardial infarction, stroke, cardiac arrhythmia, thrombosis ...) in the short and medium term after infection. The long-term complications of this infection are not yet known and are the subject of research in France and in the world. In order to investigate the possible long term sequelae of this virus infection, this research aims to evaluate the potential cholesterol abnormalities caused by COVID-19, which could play a significant role in the increase of cardiovascular risk in affected patients. A total of 180 analysable participants will be recruited in this study. They will be divided into four groups of participants that will be compared to one another: - 30 participants who were infected with SARS-CoV2 with no or few signs and did not require hospitalization. - 30 participants who were infected with SARS-CoV2 and whose severity of illness required hospitalization in a COVID unit - 30 participants who were infected with SARS-CoV2 and required intensive care hospitalization due to severity of illness. - 90 participants who were not infected with SARS-CoV2. For each participant, the study will last approximately 1 hour, the time to fill out the consent forms, to answer a few questions about their current medical history and finally to take a blood sample for lipid measurements.
PLGA nanoparticles coated with Chitosan polymer were prepared and then incorporated in In -situ gel to be injected to root canals of patients suffered from bacterial infection of their endodontics.
Retrospective, regional, multicenter study (including the Annecy-Genevois Hospital Center, the Chambéry Métropole Savoie Hospital Center, and the Grenoble University Hospital Center), comparing a cohort of patients treated with Cefazolin with a cohort of patients treated with Penicillin M
This is a Phase 2, randomized, parallel-group, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 14-week study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TNX-102 SL 5.6 mg (2 x 2.8 mg tablets) taken once daily at bedtime for the management of multi-site pain associated with Long COVID.
This is a human non-significant risk (NSR) clinical study designed to objectively and participatively verify that the Carecube Negative Pressure Isolation Chamber is a safe and non-hostile environment for the patients that will be contained within the chamber during normal operations.
