Filter by:Utilizing funding through the President´s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) this project seeks to assess the effectiveness of a subset of the new Mozambican clinical guidelines for the diagnosis, initial management, and follow-up ( >1 follow-up visit to determine response to initial and/or second-line therapy) of common signs and symptoms in HIV-infected adult patients as used under field conditions by Mozambique-based clinicians in MOH health facilities in Zambézia province, Mozambique. The operational feasibility of the new guidelines will be described; they will be compared to the previous standard of care for the problem(s) of interest, and the clinical importance of differences between guidelines designed for Mozambican non-physician clinicians and new guidelines (also issued in late 2009) for Mozambican physicians will be described. The subset of guidelines to be addressed in the current phase of this 2-year project includes algorithms for diagnosis and management of acute fever, persistent fever, and anemia.
The aim of this observational study is to document the therapeutic use of PASCALLERG ® for hay fever. Based on the survey is a decrease in disease-specific symptoms when taking PASCALLERG ® over a period of 4 weeks will be documented. In addition to the compatibility can be assessed.
Retrospective analysis of a quality measurement project examining the quality of vital parameter measurement in consecutive patients >= 75 years presenting to the emergency department. Primary goal of the study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of body temperature measurement using different methods to diagnose infection in patients >= 75 years presenting to the emergency department. The secondary goal is to compare the reliability of tympanal and temporal artery thermometry with rectal temperature measurement.
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is predicted to be the second leading cause of disability worldwide by the year 2020. The economic burden of depression in the United States is significant: $83.1 billion in 2000 and increasing. Much of this burden comes from the high rate of sub-optimal treatment outcomes associated with the disorder. Indeed, only 50% of MDD patients recover in less than 12 weeks with adequate treatment, and up to 20% of patients will fail to adequately respond to all currently available interventions. Moreover, current treatments come at the cost of significant central nervous system (CNS) side effects, further highlighting the need for more effective treatments with fewer side effects. This study will compare temperature ranges from the investigators preliminary studies involving thermoafferent pathways resulting in antidepressant actions with lower temperature ranges not expected to activate these pathways as a control condition, with the goal to evaluate whether previous observations were related to the temperature range in question or can be achieved with other levels.
This trial is conducted in Asia. The aim of this is to investigate the efficacy and safety of activated recombinant human factor VII (rFVIIa) in achieving haemostasis in patients with Dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF).
Clinical trial intended to reduce the antibiotic therapy duration in "in-hospital" patients with haematological diseases who develop fever and low white blood cell count (neutropenia).
The goal of this study is to assess the feasibility of the approach, conduct a dose-finding investigation, and obtain pilot data on hyperthermia via sauna to apply in follow-up trials in the assessment of human chemical body burden reduction, for general wellness, detoxification, and pain reduction. The investigators wish to determine if a hyperthermia-based detoxification protocol is feasible to conduct: including assessment of recruitment, enrollment, retention, protocol adherence, adverse events, and changes in serum polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of low dose versus high dose steroids vital signs of patients currently on steroids or recently treated with steroids undergoing major colorectal surgery. The investigators hypothesize that there will be no statistically significant difference in orthostatic hypotension (blood pressure measured on lying, sitting, and standing), blood pressure, temperature or heart rate in the standard and low dose groups.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of the CYD dengue vaccine in India adult subjects. Primary Objectives: - To describe the neutralizing antibody response to each dengue virus serotype before the first vaccination and after each vaccination with CYD dengue vaccine in all subjects. - To describe the safety of the CYD dengue vaccine after each dose in all subjects. Secondary Objective: - To detect symptomatic dengue cases occurring at any time in the trial.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial of azithromycin in Campylobacter concisus culture positive patients with diarrhea. The clinical characteristics of emerging Campylobacter concisus in adults is vomiting and persistent diarrhea. Whether patients may benefit from antibiotic treatment is unknown. The purpose of this trial is to investigate whether antibiotic treatment with azithromycin of Campylobacter concisus induced diarrhea can better the symptoms and shorten the duration of illness.
