Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the resulting COVID-19 pandemic present important diagnostic challenges. Point-of-care tests that detect SARS-CoV-2 antigen have the potential to allow earlier detection and isolation of confirmed cases compared to PCR-based diagnostic methods, and could be implemented at Ports of Entry (PoE) to screen low-prevalence populations effectively.This study will assess the performance of available antigen Ag-RDTs such as the Panbio and Standard Q SARS-CoV-2 rapid antigen tests. Approximately 15,000 subjects entering Botswana at Ports of Entry will be enrolled over a 6-months period or more. SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR will be used as a reference standard. A subset of participants will also be contacted, re-evaluated and re-tested at 48-72 hours following initial assessment, to assess for the impact of incubating infection on the performance of the Ag-RDTs. In order to assess the impact of viral genetic variability on test performance, genomic sequencing will be part of the study. All SARS-CoV-2 PCR positive samples will undergo genomic sequencing to determine the virus lineages or variants. In addition to assessing the performance of each of the Ag-RDTs, a set of testingalgorithms that could be implemented at Ports of Entry, including the sequential use of multiple Ag-RDTs with or without RT-PCR confirmation, will be assessed.
The aim of this work is to study the incidence of diaphragmatic dysfunction after COVID 19 infection and the efficacy of different types of diaphragmatic strengthening exercises on diaphragm muscle function.
An Open Comprative Study of the Prophylactic Efficacy and a Non-comparative Study of the Immunogenicity and Safety of the Inactivated Whole-virion Concentrated Purified Coronavirus Vaccine (CoviVac) Produced by FSBSI "Chumakov Federal Scientific Center for Research and Development of Immune-and-Biological Products" for Adults Aged 60 Years and Older
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate new non-invasive passive surveillance technologies, Level 42 AI imPulse™ Una and TOR devices for the detection of COVID-19, Flu, and/or RSV in asymptomatic and symptomatic individuals over age of 18 undergoing COVID-19, Flu, and/or RSV screening and testing at BAMC Ft Sam Houston, TX; with and without COVID-19, Flu, and/or RSV. The hypotheses are: (H1) The imPulseTM Una and the imPulseTM TOR e-stethoscopes have at least a similar discriminative and detection ability among symptomatic and asymptomatic COVID-19 carrier versus those not infected compared to gold standard RT-PCR. We will operationalize and deploy both the imPulseTM Una and imPulseTM TOR e-stethoscope into DoD use-cases and compare their usability between the devices. (H2) Identify if the imPulseTM Una and the imPulseTM TOR e-stethoscopes have at least a similar discriminative and detection ability among symptomatic and asymptomatic Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), Influenza and Long COVID carriers versus those not infected compared to gold standard Rapid RSV and Flu Antigen Tests, or RT-PCR and molecular assays. We will operationalize and deploy both the imPulseTM Una and imPulseTM TOR e-stethoscope into DoD use-cases and compare their captured traces in the early identification of disease/illness analyzed by the devices built in algorithms. (H3) In the mid to long-term, this approach will also be explored as a diagnostic system to explore pursue the physical (structural and mechanical) properties of cells and tissues that maintain normal cell behavior (motility, growth, apoptosis), and the critical importance of the ability of cells to sense and respond to mechanical stresses, which will be operationally critical for assessment of both traumatic and unconventional exposures in austere environments. Participants will: - Be consented; - Be screened for COVID-19, Flu, and/or RSV symptoms according to BAMC's current screening procedures; - Have study data collected; - Complete a symptoms questionnaire; - imPulseTM Una and TOR e-stethoscopes examination will be conducted; - Participants will be compensated for completing all study requirements. (Active-Duty personnel must complete the study procedures while off-duty in order to receive compensation.)
Background Anal fissure is one of the most common anorectal problems. After an outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has rapidly spread from China to almost all over the world, it nearly affected all countries. In spite of its typical presentation in the form of fever, cough, myalgia, fatigue and pneumonia, other GIT manifestations were reported. We found some of COVID-19 survivors who had complained from anal fissure problem. The aim of this study was to report the prevalence of acute anal fissure among COVID-19 patients, its possible risk factors and outcome. Methods This is a retrospective cross-sectional study which was conducted over three months from the start of September 2020 to the end of November 2020 at Mansoura university isolation hospital, on COVID-19 patients' who were diagnosed with anal fissure. Those who survived and were discharged home safely were telephone called to pick up whether they suffered from any symptoms of anal pain, difficulty in defecation suggesting anal fissure, in order to identify their outcomes, the risk factors for anal fissure development and how they were managed. Results A total of 176 patients were enrolled in this study. Patients were categorized into two groups. The first group included patients who developed anal fissure (n=65) and the 2nd group included patients who did not develop anal fissure (n=111). No significant difference was noted in demographic data apart from the age which was younger in the fissure group. The incidence of anal fissure was 36.9% of total population. The majority of patients' anal fissure problem resolved spontaneously after patients improved from the COVID symptoms without receiving any treatment (43.1%). Conclusion Anal fissure is quite common problem after COVID-19. Young and middle age patients are more vulnerable to develop anal fissure after COVID-19 infection.
Awake prone positioning has been reported to improve oxygenation for patients with COVID-19. Awake timed and repositioning is a novel method to improve patients' compliance and prolong the prone time. This study aims to explore the impact of timed prone and repositioning on the intubation rate and prognosis of COVID-19 patients with hypoxic respiratory failure.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the effects of coronavirus infection in patients with early-stage lung cancer. The main question it aims to answer is whether the interval of surgery and COVID-19 infection will affect the surgery and prognosis of the patients.
