The health contingency established against the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome associated type 2 Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has promoted a race against the clock for the search on treatment against the disease related with coronavirus (COVID-19). There are no current approved therapeutic options against the virus, although there is a rush for the development of drugs, vaccines and even the passive immunization through plasma from convalescent patients. This passive immunization is made with the administration of antibodies from patients that went through the infectious state of the disease and progress to clinical remission. SARS-CoV-2, and its predecessor SARS-CoV-1, have great similarities between their genes and proteins; tis allow to hypothesize that the antibodies developed against SARS-CoV1 can recognize the antigens of SARS-CoV-2. In this manner, the transfusion of convalescent plasma to patients with the infection brings the probability on eliminating the infection, in this case SARS-CoV-2. There are evidence of this phenomenon observed in previous pandemics caused by SARS-CoV-1, Influenza AH1N1 and Ebola virus. The objective of the study is to develop a therapeutic strategy based on the administration of plasma from patients with COVID-19 with clinical remission to patients that are coursing with the infection. The expected results hopes to establish an effective treatment and satisfactory recovery of patients with COVID-19. Also, we expect to describe the respective antibodies related against the SARS-CoV-2 infection.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and security of chloroquine phosphate prophylactic use for reducing the risk of infection by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 in Health Care Workers exposed to COVID-19 patients.
Main goal: To generate information on the efficacy and safety of Dialyzable Leukocyte Extract (DLE) as an aid in the treatment of patients with acute respiratory infection (suspected or confirmed cases of COVID-19). Primary goal: To generate information on the efficacy of DLE as an aid in symptomatic treatment, by reducing the signs and symptoms of acute respiratory infection (suspected/confirmed cases of COVID-19). Secondary goals: 1. To evaluate clinical deterioration and respiratory alarm data. 2. To evaluate the duration of the clinical picture. 3. To explore cytokine changes associated with the therapeutic effect induced by DLE. 4. To obtain data on the safety of DLE as an aid in the symptomatic treatment of acute respiratory infection (suspected/confirmed cases of COVID-19). 5. To generate information to validate the contingency scale to assess the severity of acute respiratory disease (suspected/confirmed cases of COVID-19). Justification The systemic inflammatory response has been recognized as being responsible for COVID-19 complications. Immunomodulation strategies to control it are currently being considered, including the use of systemic steroids to down-regulate the systemic inflammatory response, the use of human immunoglobulin and even chloroquine given its anti-inflammatory and antiviral qualities; however, none of these treatments has been sufficiently studied or has shown any significant change in the clinical course of infected patients. Due to the importance of the COVID-19 pandemic and in the absence of specific treatment, it is important to implement new treatments that allow modulating the immune response, and one strategy may be the addition of DLE to symptomatic and supportive treatment. Hypotheses by goals. 1. The addition of DLE to the symptomatic treatment could decrease the severity of the clinical outcome (signs and symptoms) in individuals with an acute respiratory infection (cases suspected/confirmed by COVID-19). 2. The addition of DLE to the symptomatic treatment could decrease the clinical deterioration due to the acute respiratory infectious process (suspected/confirmed cases of COVID-19). 3. The addition of DLE to the symptomatic treatment could decrease the duration of the clinical outcome (suspected/confirmed cases of COVID-19).
Newly diagnosed adults patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia will be assessed as traditionally by the treating institution using classic clinical, demographic and cytogenetic variables. Complementary molecular tests will be performed in the patients included in the study using PCR to detect classic CBF (Core Binding Factor) rearrangements: CBFB-MYH11 [inv(16)(p13;q22), isoforms A, E and D; AML-ETO (RUNX1-RUNX1T1) (t8;21)(q22;q22). NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) to detect mutations in: FLT3-ITD and TKD, NPM1, CEBPA, RUNX1, TP53, ASXL1, IDH1, IDH2 and KIT
Randomized clinical trial to compare the efficacy of different doses of oral isotretinoin 10 mg/day, 20 mg/day and 30 mg/day during 12 weeks for the treatment of facial recalcitrant flat warts. The primary endpoint will be the proportion of participants with total remission of facial flat warts at the end of the intervention in the three arms of the clinical trial.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a considered one of the main global health challenges; the vascular endothelium plays an important role in vascular dysfunction in DM; Hyperglycemia induced by it is recognized as the main factor for the development of vascular complications of the disease, secondary to a reduction in nitric oxide production; "flow-mediated dilation" is the most commonly used technique for the evaluation of endothelial function, being the non-invasive method most widely used. It has been reported that with the use of SGLT2 inhibitors the development of cardiovascular complications in patients with T2DM is a decrease, as well the arterial stiffness, endothelial dysfunction and increasing on the shear stress and blood viscosity; and experimentally.

Chronic non-infectious diseases have a bigger impact and a higher prevalence every day world-wide. Among them, diabetes stands out being the number one cause of death from degenerative chronic illness in Mexico. Diabetes not only affects quality of life, it can also lead to severe complications that have a great economic impact as well as a health impact on the patient and their family. Some of the complications include liver failure and hypertension. This whole problem can be dated back to an initial hyperglycemic state that when left untreated further develops into insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, metabolic syndrome and diabetes. The purpose of this study is to stop this chain reaction that starts with every hyperglycemic patient by adding thiamine pyrophosphate to the treatment plan of patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes that are poorly managed with metformin monotherapy. Thiamine pyrophosphate is a form of B1 vitamin that plays an important role as a coenzyme in multiple metabolic routes including the link between glycolysis and Krebs cycle, fatty acids metabolism and branched-chain amino acid metabolism. By doing so, these pathways improve their function and efficiency and thereby utilize plasma glucose. This in turn, decreases the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) which prevents the formation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, ultimately there is also an anti-oxidative mechanism involved that improves the inflammatory state the patient is living with. Our hypothesis is that by adding thiamine pyrophosphate to the treatment of patients taking metformin, there will be important progress regarding the inflammatory and metabolic control of patients with type 2 diabetes. The study will have a duration of approximately 4 months after the total sample is recruited. During this time, subjects will first be examined to determine their eligibility according to the pre-established criteria, in case of inclusion in the study they will sign an informed consent after reading it thoroughly and having answered all their questions. Baseline labs will be taken for every subject for future comparison. They will then be randomized into two parallel groups: an experimental group that will receive weekly infusions of saline infused with 1 gram of thiamine pyrophosphate or a placebo group that will also receive weekly infusions of pure saline. The patients as well as the doctors treating them will be blinded to the assignment of either group. This model will be carried out for a duration of 12 weeks total, during which every patient will continue their metformin treatment with their tolerated dose. There will be verification of treatment adherence by counting the metformin pills during every weekly visit. For the assessment of dependent variables there will be a visit every month with a blinded doctor. These visits will be for: physical and clinical evaluation, evaluation of adverse events, evaluation of treatment adherence and a heart rate variability study. The first and third months a questionnaire about lifestyle will be added to the visit schedule. On the third month, final lab tests will be performed. Finally, one month after completing the treatment, a final visit will be scheduled for a clinical and physical evaluation to make sure there are no problems.
