Filter by:The present study aims to assess the impact of exercise training, physical activity, and sedentary lifestyle on clinical outcomes in surviving patients infected with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Therefore, this study will evaluate cross-sectionally and through a questionnaire in Portuguese and English on the internet, whether physically active patients have better outcomes for the disease such as shorter hospital stay, lesser symptoms, lesser need for mechanical ventilation, and medications.
Prone positioning is an established intervention in mechanically ventilated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients, with demonstrated reductions in mortality. Preliminary data suggest that awake proning in patients with COVID-19 treated with high-flow nasal oxygenation (HFNO) improves gas exchanges, and might be associated with a reduced need of mechanical ventilation, and reduced mortality. Further investigation in a formal randomized-controlled trial is need.
Pragmatic randomized clinical trial of patients admitted to the hospital with confirmed COVID-19 infection and elevated D-Dimer. Randomization 1:1 - Group 1 will undergo a routine full anticoagulation (oral or parenteral when needed) strategy; and group 2 will receive usual standard of care with prophylactic anticoagulation
Short description of the protocol intended for the lay public. Include a brief statement of the study hypothesis (Limit : 5000 characters) The management of critically-ill patients with organ failure due to COVID-19 represents a major healthcare burden. While endothelial inflammation has been reported in these patients, the pathophysiological mechanisms remain incompletely elucidated.
The Controlled evaLuation of Angiotensin Receptor Blockers for COVID-19 respIraTorY disease (CLARITY) study is a pragmatic prospective, open-label, randomised controlled trial. CLARITY aims to examine the effectiveness of angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) on improving the outcomes of people who tested positive for COVID-19 disease.
SARS-CoV-2 has now crossed the 1 million number of cases and tens of thousands of deaths. It´s R0 has been calculated between 2 and 5.7 solely based on clinical symptoms but it is estimated to likely be higher. Serologic evidence of infection has not been analyzed.
This study aims to use the regenerative and repair abilities of stem cells to fight against the harmful effects of the novel coronavirus Covid-19 and therefore develop a treatment strategy. It is known that fatalities from this virus is largely caused by its damage to lungs and other organs. As the disease progresses, these organs fail and lead to mortality. Our hope is that the stem cell transplantation from healthy donors will repair the damage caused by the virus and result in a healthy recovery.
This is a First In Human study designed to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of EIDD-2801 in healthy human volunteers.
The most severe manifestations of COVID-19 include respiratory failure, coagulation problems, and death. Inflammation and blood clotting are believed to play an important role in these manifestations. Research in humans has shown that dipyridamole can reduce blood clotting. This research study is being conducted to learn whether 14 days of treatment with dipyridamole will reduce excessive blood clotting in COVID-19. This study will enroll participants with confirmed coronavirus (SARS-CoV)-2 infection that are admitted. Eligible participants will be randomized to receive dipyridamole or placebo for 14 days in the hospital. In addition, data will be collected from the medical record, and there will also be blood draws during the hospitalization.
Prompted by the current COVID-19 pandemic, the American Academy of Ophthalmology has recommended the use of telemedicine to continue ophthalmic care while maintaining patient and provider social distancing. As part of remote examinations, patients may be expected to perform home eye testing for visual acuity and the use of various home visual acuity charts have been proposed to provide clinicians with this vital data. However, the use of home visual acuity exams has not been validated in our patient population. This project aims to determine the efficacy and validity of measuring visual acuity at home with a printed-out ETDRS chart.
