Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to test the performance of the Masimo noninvasive temperature device in patients with fever. The main question it aims to answer is whether the Masimo temperature device is comparable to standard methods of taking temperature such as inserting a probe under the tongue or using a forehead thermometer. Participants will be asked to sit still while rounds of measurements are taken using the Masimo temperature device and the reference temperature device. Researchers will compare the measurements taken with the Masimo device with the measurements taken with the reference device.
1. Evaluating the differences in the efficacy and safety of meropenem optimal dosing regimen predicted by the PPK/PD model combined with MAPB method for patients with malignant hematological myelopathy accompanied by fever, as compared with the current conventional treatment regimen; 2. The visualization software of meropenem individualized medication was developed with the help of JAVA development language, J2EE framework and SQL Server database.
Background: Periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, and cervical adenitis (PFAPA) is the most common periodic fever syndrome of childhood. Symptoms can include swelling of the glands in the throat, mouth ulcers, and tonsillitis. Removal of the tonsils can stop the periodic flareups. But researchers do not know how PFAPA develops. In this natural history study, researchers will collect specimens and data from people with PFAPA to see what they might have in common. Objective: To collect blood and other specimens from people with PFAPA to learn more about the illness. Eligibility: People aged 1 month or older with symptoms of PFAPA or another tonsil disorder. Design: Participants will be screened. Their medical records will be reviewed. Researchers will ask about a family history of PFAPA. The following specimens may be collected: Blood. Blood will be drawn either from a needle inserted into a vein or from a prick in the finger or heel. Mucus and cells. A stick with soft padding on the tip may be rubbed inside the nostrils or mouth. Stool. Saliva. Tissue samples may be taken if participants are having surgery to remove the tonsils or adenoids. Participants having surgery may also have a nasopharyngeal wash; salt water will be squirted into the back of the throat and then sucked back out with a syringe. Most participants will provide specimens only once. They can do this in person at the clinic; they can also have their local health providers send specimens to the researchers. Some participants may have optional follow-up visits over 10 years.
The study will systematically evaluate how an emergency manual-a collection of checklists and fact sheets-affects the performance of resuscitation teams during the management of priority one patients in an emergency department.
Cesarean section is the common surgery in world wide. But the complication like febrile morbidity such as surgical site infection, fever, urinary tract infection and endometritis can be occurred even giving the standard antibiotics. Therefore if wider bacterial spectrum coverage antibiotic like azithromycin is added to the standard antimicrobial prophylaxis(1st generation cephalosporin), the incidence of febrile morbidity could be reduced. We will compare the regimen of cefazolin plus azithromycin and standard regimen of cefazolin alone in prevention of febrile morbidity after emergency cesarean section.
Northern Argentina is a risk area for yellow fever (YF). Recent studies have suggested that immunity wanes in children vaccinated between 9 and 23 months of age. In 2015, a collaborative study conducted by the Ministry of Health (MoH) of Argentina, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) assessed the immunogenicity and safety of co-administration of YF and MMR vaccines in a pediatric population at 12-13 months of age. A total of 741 children presenting for routine immunization at 12-13 months of age enrolled and completed the study. It is now four to seven years since this pediatric group received their YF vaccinations. This cohort is unique because their initial YF vaccination and immune response to the vaccine dose are well characterized. Contact information collected during the earlier study will be used to locate the children. If consent is obtained, a 5ml specimen of blood will be collected and shipped to the CDC's Arboviral Diseases Reference Laboratory (ADRL) in Fort Collins, CO for plaque reduction neutralization testing using a 50% cut-off (PRNT50) to detect YF virus-specific neutralizing antibodies. Children with neutralizing antibody titers that are higher than their baseline titer collected approximately 28 days following YF vaccination will have PRNTs done for cross-reacting flaviviruses.
The study will evaluate the clinical bias and clinical repeatability of measuring body temperature using the Norbert Device (ND).
Primary objective of this trial is to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of paclitaxel combined with a fixed dose of cisplatin (75 mg/m2) delivered as hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in patients with ovarian cancer. In this single-center Phase I trial, Bayesian Optimal Interval Design (TITE-BOIN) was used. The starting dose for paclitaxel was 175 mg/m2, with escalation in 25 mg/m2 increments until the MTD was determined or the maximum dose level of 225 mg/m2 was reached. The target dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) rate was 25%, and the total sample size was 30 patients.
"Severe neonatal jaundice and acute bilirubin encephalopathy are a major cause of death and disability among newborns in LMICs. Filtered sunlight phototherapy (FSPT) was developed, tested and shown to be safe and efficacious in the treatment of jaundice, because effective electric-powered conventional phototherapy is often unavailable10,11. However, FSPT currently requires at least hourly temperature monitoring by healthcare providers (HCPs) because infants receiving FSPT are prone to both hypothermia and hyperthermia. 20 years ago, a liquid crystal thermometer, ThermospotTM (Maternova, Providence, RI) was developed primarily for use in LMICs. It was designed to detect hypothermia and is most sensitive in cold infants and not as sensitive as needed for detecting hyperthermia or fever. The purpose of this pilot study is to determine the accuracy and useability of this LCTD for a wider spectrum of temperatures when used in a large group of infants in a high-income country. If the device performs well in this study, we plan to study it in a low- and middle-income country in Africa."
This is a prospective, multicenter, non-randomized, controlled intervention clinical study.Patients with severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome who have been clinically diagnosed and met the study inclusion criteria will be included in the study for analysis. All patients with SFTS will be assigned to different groups according to the ratio of 1:3, including the non-intervention group (conventional treatment group) and the related drug intervention group. Non-intervention group:patients received conventional treatment during hospitalization. Intervention group: Part A group: Patients received methylprednisolone 1-2mg/kg/d（or other glucocorticoid equivalent to methylprednisolone 1-2mg/kg/d) + intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) 0.2g-0.4g/kg/d for a total of 3-5 days. If the disease progressed after treatment, the patients was given the dose of rescue therapy (methylprednisolone > 2mg/kg/d or other glucocorticoid equivalent to methylprednisolone > 2mg/kg/d + IVIG 0.4g/kg/d) for another 3-5 days. Part B group: Patients received tocilizumab 4mg/kg once. Part C group: Patients received low molecular weight heparin 100U/kg, qd or q12h IH for 4-7 days. If the platelet count is less than 30 × 10^9/L, the low molecular weight heparin should be discontinued. All patients received conventional treatment. All patients were followed up from the end of treatment to day 28 after completion of treatment.
