Filter by:The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the effects of a clinical decision support tool consisting of a 48-hour stop order for indwelling urinary catheters versus no clinical decision support in hospitalized patients with indwelling urinary catheters. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does the presence of an automated stop order integrated as part of a clinical decision support tool reduce dwell time of urinary catheters and the rate of catheter associated urinary tract infections? Participants who have indwelling urinary catheters ordered will be randomized to either have these orders automatically expire after 48 hours unless an action is taken or have orders without expiration. Researchers will compare the urinary catheter dwell time and the rate of catheter associated urinary tract infections between the two groups.
Efficacy and Safety of ALA-PDT in patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 (CIN2) in p16-positivity and high-risk HPV infection.
Streptococcus agalactiae or Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a leading cause of neonatal sepsis in developed and developing countries. The study aims to bolster the evidence base of establishing a sero-correlate of protection against invasive GBS disease in infants. These sero-correlates of protection will be used to study the effectiveness of GBS vaccine against invasive disease.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a significant public health problem affecting more than 150 million people worldwide and causing a significant economic impact of approximately US$ 6 billion annually. It is one of the most common infectious diseases after upper respiratory tract infections. More than 50% of women and at least 12% of men will be affected by urinary tract infections in their lifetime. The probiotic supplement was delivered as easy-to-swallow capsules specifically prepared to maintain the viability and stability of the Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG strain throughout the research period. Participants were told to take the probiotic supplement with water to maximise absorption and efficiency, ideally after meals.
The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between oral microbiota and eating habits, sleep quality and hedonic hunger in adolescents.
The incidence of fungal infection has increased dramatically over the past few decades.This is due to increase in survival rates of preterm neonates, advances in medical technology and drug therapy, broad spectrum antibiotics and parenteral nutrition . The resistance to antifungal agents has increased. This study will assess the efficacy of micafungin versus amphotericin B in neonates with positive fungal culture.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if board game can improve elementary school students' infection control intentions. The investigators use the theory of planned behavior (TPB), which includes three main factors: attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Exploring the factors influencing children's behavioral intentions of infection control through theory of planned behavior? 2. The effectiveness of board game on improving children's knowledge and behavioral intentions of infection control? Researchers will compare gamified instruction to conventional lesson lecture to see if the former has better results. Students who participated in filled out the questionnaire three times, each time taking about 15 to 20 minutes: before the intervention, after the intervention, and after a one-month delay. The students' legal representatives filled out a basic demographic questionnaire before intervention, which took about 5 minutes. After a one-month delay, two groups of students were asked to filled out the post-test questionnaire again. Then, students in the control group were invited to participate in a board game and asked which teaching method they preferred (gamified instruction or conventional lesson lecture).
This study intends to investigate the prevalence and risk factors of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in the population of physical examination centers and communities. The physical examination population from the health management center of the Third Xiangya Hospital and the family-based community residents in Changsha were randomly selected. The H. pylori infection was detected by carbon-13 urea breath test (13C-UBT), and the related factors of H. pylori infection were investigated by questionnaire survey. The study provides supporting evidences to implement family-base H. pylori management to curb its intrafamilial spread. The results have important clinical implications in refinement of eradication strategies and impact on public health policy formulation for related disease prevention.
This is a phase 1, single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation clinical trial of single and multiple intravenous doses of TNP-2092 for injection in healthy Chinese participants.
In rectal cancer surgery, the organ/space surgical site infection (O/S-SSI) has an impact on patient's prognosis. Its influence in the oncologic outcomes remains controversial. The main objective is to assess the possible effect of O/S-SSI on long-term overall survival and cancer recurrence.
