Filter by:Given that WLWH are more likely to develop persistent HPV infection and CC, effective screening and the management and treatment of pre-cancerous cervical abnormalities is critical to decrease the global burden of cervical cancer. The vast majority of WLWH live in SSA, where resources are more constrained. Therefore, simple, affordable, and effective tools are needed for the prevention of cervical cancer in SSA. In this setting, the best method for treatment of screen-positive WLWH has not been determined. The proposed study will compare the effectiveness of TA vs. LEEP, for treating precursor lesions (CIN 2/3) and HPV infection in WLWH, identify the determinants of treatment failure, and develop a strategy to predict patients in whom treatment is likely to fail so that alternative treatments can be provided. Moreover, local evidence of the optimal method of treatments is necessary to inform health policy and promote adherence.

The goal of this observational study is to get a series of clinical data related to the prevention of CMV infection after allo-HSCT with letemovir. The main question it aims to answer are: - Efficacy and safety of letemovir for the prevention of CMV infection after allo-HSCT. - Optimal initiation of letemovir to prevent CMV infection. Participants will be categorized into high-risk and intermediate-risk groups based on risk factors for CMV infection.Initiate letemovir prophylaxis on day +1 in high-risk patients and on days +7 to +14 in non-high-risk patients.(240 mg, qd in patients with concomitant cyclosporine; 480 mg, qd in patients with concomitant tacrolimus) to +100 days. For patients with comorbid GVHD who require intensive immunosuppression, consider extending the regimen to +200 days.Treatments they will be given and use bullets.
Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is the leading cause of nosocomial diarrhea in Europe, with over 120,000 cases and almost 3,700 deaths per year. This infection is characterized by a high risk of recurrence after cure, ranging from almost 20% after a first episode to over 60% after 2 recurrences, or in the case of specific risk factors. Currently, first-line treatment of CDI is based on oral antibiotics such as fidaxomicin or vancomycin. These antibiotic treatments, which are effective in 89% and 86% of first-episode cases respectively, do not correct the microbiological imbalance underlying the onset of CDI and may, on the contrary, encourage recurrence by contributing to the maintenance of a deleterious change in the microbiota (dysbiosis) through the elimination of bacteria other than C. difficile, due to their spectrum of activity. In a number of patients, this ecological imbalance can no longer be restored after antibiotic treatment, leading to multiple recurrences of CDI. In this context, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has been validated for over 10 years for the prevention of recurrence in multi-recurrent CDI. The principle of FMT is based on the use of a pharmaceutical preparation made from the stool of a healthy donor, administered within the digestive tract of a patient for therapeutic purposes. Currently, in the case of multiple recurrences, it is the recommended first-line treatment (from 2 recurrences) and the most effective, with a clinical efficacy preventing recurrence of CDI in 69% to 89% of cases at 8 weeks post-treatment, with a good safety profile. Among the microbial factors promoting CDI, the loss of the bacterial species Faecalibacterium prausnitzii constitutes a specific therapeutic target. F. prausnitzii is a commensal bacterium of the human gut, making up nearly 5% of the fecal microbiota, and has been shown to be associated with an individual's state of health. A drop in its relative abundance is associated with an increased risk of numerous diseases, such as Crohn's disease and colorectal cancer. In CDI, F prausnitzii is greatly diminished. Moreover, low abundance of F. prausnitzii is predictive of C. difficile recurrence. Its abundance in stools is increased after FMT and is also predictive of response to treatment. From a pathophysiological point of view, one of the preventive effects of F. prausnitzii on recurrence would be mediated by its ability to hydrolyze the bile acids involved in the germination of C. difficile spores. The aim of this Phase I/II trial is to assess the efficacy and safety of oral administration of EXL01, a single isolated unmodified strain of F. prausnitzii, in preventing CDI recurrence in high-risk patients at W8. The study will be conducted in 2 parts. The phase I (Part A) is planned to include 6 patients. The phase II (Part B) will include 50 patients in two arms (25 patients respectively in the placebo and EXL01 arm).
Main objective: -To determine Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) prevalence in patients with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMID) using vaginal self-sampling (VSS), one year after VSS was proposed Primary endpoint: - To determine the prevalence of HPV infection (yes/no) after VSS proposal Secondary objectives: - To describe the HPV typology and the rate of co-infection (with several high-risk HPV (HR-HPV)) in this population - To describe the factors associated with the presence of HPV infection - To determine the rate of HPV clearance after one year, during the second screening at 12 months- To determine the percentage of pre-cancerous cervical lesions and cervical cancer in the event of subsequent cervical smear - To determine the factors associated with persistence (or non-clearance ) of HPV infection - To determine the factors associated with the presence of pre-cancerous and cancerous cervical lesions - To determine the characteristics, tolerance and acceptability of VSS - To determine the rate of cervical cancer screening carried out following French Health Authorities guidelines -To determine the HPV vaccination coverage Secondary endpoints: 1/ HPV typology and presence of co-infection (Yes/No, type) or HPV multi-infection (more than 2 HPV, Yes/No) identified on samples at inclusion and at 1 year. 2/ Explanatory variables: demographic, clinical, biological factors and treatments (corticoids, immunosuppressive treatments); variable to be explained: presence of HPV infection during follow-up. 3/ Characteristics, acceptability, obstacles and tolerance of VPA reported by self-questionnaire (including procedure failures, bleeding and pain). 4/ Up-to-date cervical cancer screening rate in accordance with HAS recommendations at 12 months post-procedure. 5/ Proportion of cervical cytological abnormalities and cervical cancer authenticated on cervico-vaginal smear, if performed (histological confirmation if available) during follow-up. 6/ Explanatory variables: demographic, clinical, biological factors and treatments (corticoids, immunosuppressants; variable to be explained: presence of cervical precancerous lesions and cervical cancer, authenticated on cervico-vaginal smear, if performed (histological confirmation if available) during follow-up. 7/ HPV vaccination coverage rate (measured on initial self-questionnaire) 8/ Prevalence of HR-HPV(s) at second screening at one year, in the case of initial positivity (Persistence of HPV infection (Yes/No). 9/ Explanatory variables: demographic, clinical, biological factors and treatments (corticoids, immunosuppressive treatments); variable to be explained: persistence of cervical HPV infection at one year (in the case of initial positivity).
Considering the relatively high incidence of surgical site infection (SSI) in colorectal surgery, this trial will compare rates of SSI in patients undergoing colorectal resections followed by surgical wound irrigation with povidone-iodine versus the group of patients undergoing surgical wound irrigation with saline solution. The trial will be conducted in a large university hospital in Southern Brazil.
