Filter by:A combination of oral vitamin A (VitA) and intense aromatic chemosensory smell training (ST) by pulse aromatic stimulation will expedite the neurosensory recovery of olfaction in patients suffering from prolonged COVID-19-related olfactory dysfunction (OD).
Establish a biorepository, clinical data registry, and radiographic image database from individuals who were COVID positive at one time and are being seen for outpatient follow-up or a separate study visit.
The proposed study is a phase 1 study which will evaluate the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of two doses regimen of CoVepiT vaccine (OSE-13E) in the population of n=48 healthy volunteers 18 to 45 (inclusive) years old, vaccinated or not by authorized COVID-19 vaccine. Study will be open label and will be randomized 1:1 in two parallel study arms receiving either one single dose or two doses separated by 21 days. First 4 subjects will serve as sentinel cohort and 7 days reactogenicity data of these subjects will be reviewed by the independent safety monitoring committee (SMC) before proceeding to the vaccination of remaining volunteers. The progress of the study will be overviewed by a safety monitoring committee (SMC). The CoVepiT vaccine is a peptide-based vaccine aiming to induce CD8+T-cell-mediated immune response against 11 different proteins of SARS-CoV-2 virus.
200 participants should be included in the study. There will be three groups: 100 participants with a severe course of the disease 3 months ago, 50 asymptomatic carriers of coronavirus infection 3 months ago and 50 people who were in close contact with patients with confirmed coronavirus infection 3 months ago, but not sick and without antibodies to SARS-CoV-2. The study consists of two visits. At the first visit, after signing the consent to participate in the study, a screening examination will be performed to assess the criteria for inclusion and exclusion in the study. At the second visit, patients who meet the inclusion criteria and do not have exclusion criteria will undergo clinical and instrumental examination, and biological samples will be collected for laboratory testing. The aim of the study is to determine the most significant clinical and laboratory markers of the severity of the outcomes in the period of convalescence of the new coronavirus infection COVID-19. Clinical and laboratory indicators, the number and severity of signs of postcovid syndrome as well as pathological changes in lung tissue according to CT data in the group with covid pneumonia and indicators of immune status, hemostasis, endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, metabolism will be assessed.
Due to Covid-19, intensive care (ICU) patients are not allowed visitors or have severely restricted visiting. After being admitted to ICU most patients are unconscious or extremely weak and therefore cannot speak on a phone or video call to a family member. Before these visiting restrictions, family members of patients admitted to ICU as a result of being critically ill were already known to suffer significant psychological distress and may now face increased distress given they are unable to visit a loved one. Previous research demonstrates that keeping a paper diary has been found to be helpful for ICU patients and families. When lockdown measures were announced, NHS Scotland introduced video diaries as an emergency measure to try to support communication with families and reduce distress. vCreate is an NHS Trusted secure video messaging service that helps patients, families and clinical teams stay connected throughout their care journey. The use of video diaries may have a positive impact for family members but there is a risk that they could also have negative effects for some people. There is a need to explore both ICU healthcare professionals and family members' experiences of using video diaries. At the same time it is also important to test the feasibility and acceptability of measures of distress and psychological well-being on family members during and after their experience of video diaries. In doing so, some initial recommendations about video diaries can be made and a larger subsequent study planned to test their effect on family members and healthcare professionals.
This is a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of ivermectin in reducing the risk of progression to severe disease and hospitalizations in COVID-19 patients.
This study inquires about the development of Telogen effluvium following the SARS-CoV-2 infection
The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome CoronaVirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a rapidly spreading infection of the respiratory tract. Most infected patients have either asymptomatic disease or mild symptoms. However, a proportion of patients, especially elderly men or patients with comorbidities, are at risk of developing acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). ARDS, alongside clotting abnormalities, is known to be a major contributor to SARS-CoV-2-related mortality and admission to intensive care units, with evidenced effective preventative treatment options lacking. In this study, the investigators test a novel hypothesis that the use of a combination of spironolactone and dexamethasone at low doses will improve the clinical progression of the infection evaluated by the 6-point ordinal scale in patients with moderate and severe disease by blocking exocytosis of the Weibel-Palade bodies from endothelial cells.
Microcirculatory dysfunction appears to play a key role in the development of organ failure leading to the death of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19). It is still uncertain today whether this damage is secondary to direct viral infection of endothelial cells or the consequence of the inappropriate inflammatory response induced by the infection. The analysis of endothelial and microcirculatory dysfunctions and glycocalyx degradation therefore appears to be necessary in the understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms of Covid sepsis and could play a role in the evaluation of the efficacy of certain therapeutics which would aim at improving regional perfusion by decreasing microcirculatory dysfunction.However, the analysis of microcirculatory failure, endothelial dysfunction and glycocalyx degradation has so far only been evaluated in small cohorts, without quantitative analysis of microcirculatory perfusion
The SARS-CoV-2 virus is a virus newly identified in January 2020. The WHO defined COVID-19 as a health emergency of international importance. The clinical manifestation of the COVID-19 disease cannot be fully described in the short time. First insights in patients suffering from acute kidney injury (AKI) during COVID-19 indicate severe course with high mortality. The locally varying spread of SARS CoV-2 infection requires a better understanding of clinical course of COVID-19 in order to be able to establish future treatment approaches. The examination of attributable mortality and costs of COVID-19 will need to be studied on a multinational basis and therefore Kidney in COVID-19 Registry will particularly use a matched case control design.
