Filter by:The "COVID-19 infection self-test and alert system" (hereinafter referred to as "COVID-19 self-test applet") jointly developed by Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital, Institute for precision medicine, artificial intelligence of Tsinghua University was launched on February 1，2020. Residents , according to their actual healthy situation, after answering questions online, the system will conduct intelligent analysis, make disease risk assessment and give healthcare and medical guidance. Based on the Internet population survey, and referring to the diagnosis and screening standards of the National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China, investigators carried out the mobile applet of Internet survey and registry study for the Internet accessible identifiable population, so as to screen the suspected population and guide the medical treatment.
The study explores the efficacy of lopinavir plus ritonavir and arbidol in treating with novel coronavirus infection. As a result this study would provide evidence for the clinical usage of these drugs in the future .
Time of showering after surgery is still a controversial issue for surgical patients and health professionals. It has been reported that patients should not shower until sutures are removed since traditionally showering is thought to cause infections after surgery. However, not showering after surgery not only has a negative effect on patient comfort but also brings about the risk of infections. Sternal wound infections after coronary artery bypass graft surgery through median sternotomy are one of the important, life-threatening complications. For this reasons, the investigators researched the advantages and disadvantages of showering for postoperative sternal wound infections, pain due to sternotomy and patient comfort and satisfaction.
The main goal of this research study is to use data from activity trackers (such as Fitbits), lab tests, and surveys to see if activity, sleep, and heart rate data can tell the difference between when someone has a respiratory illness (e.g., flu) and when they are feeling healthy. The research will also study an investigational flu@home test and app. If successful, results from the study could be used in the future to better identify people with respiratory illness. In addition, this study will test the accuracy of an at-home flu test kit compared to laboratory test results.
In this multi-center, randomized, control study, the investigators will evaluate the efficacy and safety of glucocorticoid in combination with standard care for COVID-19 patents with Severe acute respiratory failure.
Enteral feeding tube (EFT) and component of feeding systems can serve as a reservoir of microorganisms, and the main reason is inappropriate hand hygiene practices. The aim of the project is to determine colonization of microorganisms on the EFT and other components and assess the relation between colonization and adherence to hand hygiene practices by healthcare workers in the intensive care unit. This prospective, observational and semi-experimental study will be conducted in one year. The project will be completed with healthcare workers and 51 patients who are feeding enteral route via nasogastric tube at least for three days. The researchers will provide training to healthcare workers in accordance with the World Health Organization (WHO) Hand Hygiene Guidelines. Hand hygiene behaviors of the participants will be observed and the question forms will be filled before and after training by researchers. The samples for microbial analysis will be collected from the EFT by sterile swaps.
This study series consists of four related studies and aims to explore and describe many important elements of alopecia areata over three key areas: (1) the current epidemiology of alopecia areata, (2) the prevalence and incidence of psychiatric co-morbidities in people with alopecia areata, (3) the prevalence and incidence of autoimmune and atopic conditions in people with alopecia areata, and (4) the incidence of common infections in people with alopecia areata.
To identify differences in the intestinal microbiota by metagenomics analyses between lean and obese subjects
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of nutrition Training on mothers' nutrition pattern, breast milk and newborn intestinal microbiota. Materials and methods: The study was conducted as a non-randomized controlled experimental study. The population of the study consisted of mothers and their babies who delivered vaginally, breastfeeded their babies at the end of the second postnatal day and delivered at the maternity ward of the Malatya Training and Research Hospital Beydağı Campus. The sample of the study consisted of 120 mothers, 57 of whom were experimental and 63 of them were in the control group. In this study, a sub-sample of 15 mothers and their infants was selected and microbiota of breast milk and stool samples were examined. In the first interview with the mothers in the experimental and control groups, Participant Identification Form, BTSKF were applied as a pre-test and stool samples of breast milk and newborn were taken. Then, the mothers in the experimental group were given nutritional education. In addition, motivational messages were sent to mothers' phones once a week. MTS in the experimental and control groups were filled with BTSKF as an intermediate test at the first month and post-test at the third month and stool samples of breast milk and newborn were collected at the mothers' own homes. During these visits, nutrition counseling was given to the mothers in the experimental group.
This study explores the association between single nucleotide polymorphism (Met11Thr) of surfactant protein D(SP-D) and susceptibility and prognosis of infectious keratitis.Met11Thr of SP-D of patients with keratitis and normal controls were compared.Allele and genotype frequencies of patients with keratitis and normal controls were determined by polymerase chain reaction with sequence specific primers(PCR-SSPs) .SP-D gene polymorphism of patients with keratitis and normal controls was detected by Sanger sequencing
