Filter by:Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus 2 (CoV 2) (COVID19) is a readily transmissible virus that has a wide ranging incubation period of 2-14 days. The symptoms include fever, cough and loss of taste and smell. Symptoms range from mild to severe. Pre-existing potential drug therapies are under investigation, but so far few have demonstrated any benefit and only in patients with severe symptoms. There is a scarcity of other pre-existing drug treatments that change the outcomes/symptoms in non-hospitalised patients with COVID-19. Prophylaxis and prevention is currently dependent on social distancing and isolating with vaccines remaining in development, potentially not for mass use in the near future. Sambucus extract has well documented anti-viral properties both in vitro and in clinical trials of influenza, it has a low side effect profile so may be effective in reducing duration of symptoms and progression to more severe disease in patients with mild/ moderate COVID19. Black Elderberry Original Liquid (Sambucus nigra) (Sambucol®) is sold as a food supplement in heath food shops and supermarkets, does not require a prescription and has no known side effects, meaning it would be a well-tolerated treatment in early disease in comparison with other potential medications. The study will be conducted at East Kent Hospitals. Potential participants with mild or moderate confirmed COVID19 infection will be identified from the drive-through hospital test centre and accident and emergency. Following an eligibility check and consenting they would be randomised to placebo or Sambucol® Black Elderberry (Sambucus nigra) 15ml four times daily for 14 days which they will take at home. Telephone consultations with the research team and patient daily diaries will used to document symptoms on days 1,3,7,10,14 and a follow up on day 28. Time to clinical improvement will be compared between the 2 groups.
World Health Organization (WHO) Novel-19 Corrosion Disease (COVID) in 2019 without being used by a pathway caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. After the acute period in COVID-19 patients, muscle weakness may continue in breathing, weakness, and training. The effects on core stabilization, pulmonary functions, respiratory muscle strength, physical activity scores and quality of life in healthy adults who do not have COVID-19 who do regular exercise may be higher than in healthy adults who do regular exercise with COVID-19.
Background: Background: Testing with antigen-detecting rapid diagnostic tests (Ag-RDTs), including in asymptomatic individuals, has the potential to promptly identify more Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections and consequently decrease spread of coronavirus-19 disease at the community level. In addition, rapid test results are important for immediate clinical management and isolation of patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection, and for contact tracing and quarantining of contacts. Data on SARS-CoV-2 infection rates, the acceptability of Ag-RDT, and the cost of conducting widespread testing in these communities are limited in Africa. Study Aim and Objectives: To generate evidence evaluating the use of Ag-RDTs for community identification of SARS-CoV-2 infections within large gathering venues such as work places, schools, places of worship, and markets. The primary objective is to determine the SARS-CoV-2 case detection rate through a mass testing approach in large gatherings. Secondary objectives include determining the proportion of asymptomatic and symptomatic infections detected, acceptance of mass SARS-CoV-2 Ag-RDT testing, the prevalence of circulating variants, and the cost of implementing this community testing strategy. Study Design: The investigators propose a serial cross-sectional study design targeting approximately 15,000 persons, who will be offered testing in up to 50 different high attendance venues of Kiambu County that will be identified as possible points of community-based transmission. The study will follow an opt-in consent approach, with those accepting to participate providing additional information to the trained research assistant and/or health worker. Outcome: Evidence will be generated to provide recommendations to the Kenya Ministry of Health, and more broadly to inform the field on the use of Ag-RDTs for large scale community screening by identifying best practices and stratifying risk areas for community transmission based on rates of infections detected within various settings.
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effectiveness of intranasal-administered Chlorpheniramine Maleate in COVID-19-positive participants as part of early treatment for COVID-19. The main questions it aims to answer are: - To assess the efficacy of nasal spray with Chlorpheniramine (1.0%) for improving clinical recovery in COVID-19 patients. - To assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of nasal spray with Chlorpheniramine (1%) as an adjunct to the standard of care in reducing hospitalizations and improving clinical recovery in adult patients with mild COVID-19.
To evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and immunogenicity of AZD7442 in Healthy Chinese Adults. vs. placebo
Fibromyalgia patients and controls living in the same household will be evaluated for levels of resilience, covid-19 related anxiety, coronavirus disease 2019 related obsession, quality of life and pain and comparisons and correlation analyses will be carried out.
Aimed to understand if yoga exercises are superior to posture exercises as an alternative exercise therapy for relieving musculoskeletal pain, improving functional status, and improving quality of life during the post- corona virus disease (COVID-19) period?
1. Investigate the possible effects of interleukin-6 receptor antagonists such as tocilizumab and sarilumab on the levels of IL-6, inflammtory and anti-inflammtory markers and cytokines before and after treatment in critically ill corona virus disease-19 patients. 2. Correlate between IL-6 levels with other inflammatory markers as ferritin and C-reactive protein. 3. investigate the possible changes on the levels of other inflammatory, anti-inflammatory markers and cytokines such as IL-10 and IP-10, before and after treatment.
The AudibleHealth Dx is a diagnostic software as a medical device (Dx SaMD) consisting of an ensemble of software subroutines that interacts with a proprietary database of Signal Data Signatures (SDS), using Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) to analyze forced cough vocalization signal data signatures (FCV-SDS) for diagnostic purposes. This study will evaluate the performance of the AudibleHealth Dx in comparison to a standard of care Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) test for the diagnosis of COVID-19. A secondary purpose of the study will be usability testing of the device for participants and providers.
This study will assess the acceptability, feasibility, and impact of game-based computer-delivered cognitive training on cognitive function in persons with cognitive symptoms that persist after recovery from acute coronavirus-19 (COVID) infection.
