Filter by:This study is designed to assess the comparative clinical utility of the point of care cobas® liat CT/NG/MG to current standard practices in the diagnosis and treatment of urogenital infections with Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG), and Mycoplasma genitalium (MG).
Single center, no profit experimental study on sera available in the Tropica Biobank.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance, usability, and result interpretation of the INSTI® HIV Self-Test (referred to INSTI® HIV ST) in the intended use population across the United States (US). The INSTI® HIV Self-Test is a single use in vitro test that is used as a self-test for the detection of antibodies to HIV-1 and HIV-2 in human fingerstick blood. This study is designed to evaluate INSTI® HIV ST performance in the hands of non-professionals and untrained lay users who are inexperienced in HIV blood-based self-testing. The study aims to: To evaluate the clinical performance (i.e., diagnostic sensitivity and specificity) of the INSTI® HIV Self-Test in a lay user population. To assess the user's comprehension of the INSTI® HIV ST results (e.g., interpreting positive, negative, and invalid results). To evaluate the usability of the INSTI® HIV ST and understand users' experience in performing the test.
The purpose of this study is to determine the incidence of surgical site infection (SSIs) after third molar surgery for different duration of intravenous ampicillin administration.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, pilot clinical study to assess the effect of Doctor's Biome Medical Food (DBMF) in individuals with Clostridium difficile infection (CDI)
This is a multicenter randomized controlled trial of 1100 patients to evaluate the superiority of combined intraoperative wound irrigation with intraoperative peritoneal lavage with dilute aqueous povidone-iodine compared to normal saline in male and female patients between the ages of 18 and 80 years old undergoing emergency laparotomies with Centers for Disease Control (CDC) class 2 and 3 wounds.
The goal of this observational study is to compare the CMV infection and reactivation after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation Between Standard Regimen, Methotrexate plus Cyclosporin A, and Post-transplant Cyclophosphamide-based Regimen. The main questions it aims to answer are: - How do CMV infection and reactivation differ between Allo-SCT patients who received a standard regimen versus those who received a Post-transplant Cyclophosphamide-based regimen? - progression-free survival, Median overall survival, cumulative incidence of relapse, non-relapsed mortality (NRM) and GvHD at 2 years after Allo-SCT - The impact of CMV infection and CMV reactivation on progression-free survival, overall survival, and NRM - Averse events of GVHD prophylaxis medication Participants will be collected the data of treatment and treatment response during transplant until 2 years after transplant from hospital medical record.
The Collaborative Open Research Initiative Study (CORIS) is a groundbreaking international research endeavor aimed at exploring vital topics within the field of health professions education. At its core, CORIS embodies the spirit of inclusivity by opening its doors to contributors from all corners of the globe, putting the power of research into the hands of the global community and fostering an environment of open collaboration and meaningful contribution. We invite anyone and everyone to join as collaborators and suggest questions for inclusion in the survey, ensuring that the research process is enriched by diverse perspectives. As a collaborator, you will not only have the opportunity to actively engage in survey design, question formulation, and the entire research process from start to finish, but also gain the prospect of achieving valuable publications, which may boost your professional career.
The present study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, comparative study. 176 individuals will be screened, and considering a screening failure rate of 15 percent approximately 150 will be randomized in a ratio of 1:1 to receive either IP or placebo and will be assigned a unique randomization code. Each group will have at least 60 completed participants after accounting for a dropout/withdrawal rate of 20percent. The intervention duration for all the study participants is 7 days
The goal of this observational study is to understand how tuberculosis (TB) infection impacts the function and development of the placenta, and whether TB infection can contribute to pregnancy-related disorders through effects on the placenta. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does TB infection affect the structure of the placenta? - Does TB infection affect the function of the placenta? Pregnant women attending delivery clinics in Addis Abeba, Ethiopia, will be enrolled and classified for TB infection using a blood-based test. We will compare the following outcomes between women with TB infection and women without TB infection: - Pathological lesions of the placenta - Gene and protein expression patterns linked to pregnancy-related disorders - Infant outcome at birth and at 6 weeks after birth
