Filter by:Clinically, patients with persistent HR-HPV infection for more than 18 months or HR-HPV infection with CIN2 + need regular colposcopic biopsy to assess the outcome and progression of the disease. A total of 1000 participants with persistent HR-HPV infection (100 cases/center) were recruited from multiple centers, and HPV integration status and vaginal flora diversity were sequenced at baseline, 6th month, 12th month and 24th month, respectively, through prospective cohort studies. And to evaluate the influence of HPV integration status and flora changes on the prognosis of women with persistent HR-HPV infection.
Primary Objective: - To evaluate the effects of synbiotics on infectious morbidity and growth while it is in place from 4 to 24 weeks of age. - To evaluate the effects of synbiotics on infectious morbidity and growth from 4 to 48 weeks of age. Secondary Objectives: - To evaluate the effects of synbiotics on growth from 4 to 72 weeks of age. - To evaluate the effects of synbiotics on infant neurodevelopment at 48 and 72 weeks of age. - To evaluate the effects of synbiotics on biological measurements while it is in place from 4 to 24 weeks of age. - To evaluate the effects of synbiotics on biological measurements from 4 to 48 weeks of age. - To evaluate the effects of synbiotics on gut microbiome and fecal short chain fatty acids from 4 to 72 weeks of age. - To investigate feasibility, acceptance, tolerability, and behavioral adherence with the intervention. - To investigate whether the synbiotics reduces infectious morbidity and improves growth in CHEU relative to CHUU. - To investigate whether infant gut microbiota composition, maturity and function, and markers of inflammation and HMOs at baseline and over time are associated with morbidity and poor growth in CHEU and CHUU.
The purpose of this investigation is to better understand the wound microbiome in burn wounds and the role it plays in outcomes and complications related to treatment.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the magnitude and breadth of the serum antibody response to the nonavalent HPV vaccine (Gardasil-9) in adults with well-controlled HIV infection. The secondary objective of the study is to observe short term clinical outcomes of prevalent HPV genotype-specific anogenital infections in adults living with HIV who complete the three-dose Gardasil-9 vaccine series. The clinical hypothesis is that adults with virologically controlled HIV mount a serum antibody response to the nonavalent HPV vaccine that is comparable to HIV negative counterparts. We also postulate that HPV vaccination will provide short-term clinical benefit against HPV infections and disease associated with vaccine genotypes.
The clinical trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) after standard of care treatment (either vancomycin or fidaxomicin) vs the pragmatic use of standard of care treatment (either vancomycin or fidaxomicin) in severe and non-severe first episode and first recurrence of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI). Experimental arm: antibiotic treatment (vancomycin or fidaxomicin as initially prescribed per SoC continued for 10 days) followed by FMT by oral capsules (one FMT, i.e. 20 FMT capsules given on 2 consecutive days, and followed by a 2nd FMT in severe CDI). Control Arm: vancomycin or fidaxomicin as initially prescribed per SoC continued for 10 days.
A long-term venous access is frequently required in patient management. Currently, it is ensured by using the long peripheral intravenous catheters (Midline) or peripheral inserted central catheters (PICC line). Either is inserted into a peripheral vein of the upper arm and extends to the distal axillary vein. If the indications for the two catheters can sometimes be debated, the Midline catheter seems to be more and more used. The complications related to the use of PICC lines have been well described in literature, whereas the comparison of the two catheter-related complications has been less analysed. The aim of this study is to compare the incidences of catheter-related bloodstream infections linked to PICCs and Midlines.
In this study, the investigators shall evaluate the use unmanned air vehicles (medical drones) to deliver ART to adult patients eligible/enrolled in community DSD models in Bufumira Islands, Kalangala district. The geography of the islands is ideal for this project because of the flat landscape and water coverage. The investigators hypothesize that the use of drones would be acceptable to patients and stakeholders, reduce facility drug stock outs, increase retention in care by 10% in intervention (at 12 months) compared to the control health centres and be cost neutral (to the patients and health sector perspectives). The investigators will also undertake evaluation of an efficient sample delivery system using medical drones especially for expansive rural areas like Moyo and Adjumani.
Primary objective: - To evaluate the efficacy of oral reparixin versus standard care alone in limiting disease progression in adult patients hospitalised for infectious pneumonia acquired in the community (CAP), including COVID-19. Secondary objectives: - To determine the effect of reparixin on several disease severity/progression measures including recovery, ventilatory free days and mortality. Safety objectives: - To evaluate the safety of oral reparixin versus placebo in the specific clinical setting.
This registry has the aim to collect epidemiological and clinical data of classical FUO cases in Italian Internal medicine Dept. and in Italian Infection diseases Dept.
Peritoneal dialysis-related infection is a complication that leads to peritoneal dialysis catheter removal or patient death. The present study aimed to investigate peritoneal dialysis-related infection, causative pathogens resulting in topical 2% mupirocin ointments period compare with 0.1% gentamicin cream period. Rate of catheter removal, time to first peritoneal dialysis-related infection after apply gentamicin cream.
