Filter by:COVID-19 outcomes are worse in male patients. Androgen signaling, therefore, is a target for clinical exploration. TMPRSS2 is a membrane protease required for COVID pathogenesis that is regulated by androgens. Blocking TMPRSS2 with bicalutamide may reduce viral replication and improve the clinical outcome. Therefore, the study proposes to test bicalutamide at 150 mg oral daily dosing in a double-blind placebo-controlled randomized trial in male patients with early symptomatic COVID-19 disease.
The McMaster Multi-Regional Hospital Coronavirus Registry (COREG) is a platform that is collecting detailed case data on laboratory confirmed COVID-19 hospital inpatients and outpatients. The COREG platform will provide rapid high-quality evidence to improve the prevention and clinical management of COVID-19 for older adults in Canada, and internationally. The COREG platform will also provide researchers and partners with complete regional level clinical data on COVID-19 cases to inform rapid decision-making and projections, sub-studies, extensions, and linkage for all affected populations.
There is a considerable variation in the disease behavior in terms of contracting the infection, manifesting none to a range of symptoms and severity of the infection among individuals exposed to or infected with SARS-CoV-2 virus, the causative organism of COVID-19. Although the respiratory system appears to be the primary target of this virus infection, emerging evidences suggests involvement of extra-pulmonary organs including central nervous system. We aim to compare the genetic profile of individuals with vs without COVID-19 after being exposed to infected cases. Additionally, we will assess the cognitive function in covid-19 positive cases with vs. without neurological symptoms at the time of infection and 1-month follow-up using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) questionnaire.
A Study to Assess Efficacy and Safety Intravenous Benapenem in Patients With Complicated Urinary Tract Infection (cUTI) or Acute Pyelonephritis (AP)
Surgical site infection is a frequent complication after abdominal surgery. The wound closure is done at the end of the procedure when the attention of the entire team may be affected because of tiredness and reduced attention of the surgical team. With this study, the investigators aim to test if an exchange of the surgical team by a specialised wound closure team may reduce the impact of surgical site infection.
The frequency of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) is constantly increasing. Devices infections are one of the most serious complications in terms of morbidity and mortality. Although the frequency of cardiac implantable devices infections is difficult to derminate due to divergent definitions, cohort studies report a trend of increasing. The infection can be localized at the pocket of the implantation, at intravascular or intra-cardiac portion of leads. Infectious endocarditis defined by involvement of the intra-cardiac portion of leads is the most serious form. The diagnosis is based on clinical, biological and multimodal imagery data. Early diagnosis and specific management are necessary to reduce mortality and morbidity. Since the last European recommendations on infectious endocarditis in 2015, the HeartRythm Society of patient described an algorithm to treat CIED infections and extraction indications. However, in practice, management of CEID infections remains center-dependent and data from robust international studies are missing. The main objective of our study is to evaluate the management of CEID suspected infections and the prognosis at 1 year in terms of survival according to the methods of treatment at the Nancy University Hospital and to compare the treatment with the latest recommendations in force
The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between the transmission of respiratory diseases and the correct wearing of masks, as well as the factors affecting the correct wearing of masks. The research is beneficial to the prevention of respiratory diseases and moves the barrier of prevention and control forward. It is of great significance to COVID-19 's practical prevention and control.

Post-operative wound complications in abdominal surgery have a major impact on patient outcomes and the real impact of Closed incision negative pressure therapy (CINVt) is not clear in the literature moreover concerning its potential economic benefits The hypothesis of this study is that CINPt has the potential to reduce Surgical Site Infections. Secondly the investigators aim to study the economic impact of CINPt used after abdominal emergency laparotomies.
This is a multi-center, prospective registry study of subjects undergoing hemodialysis for treatment of end-stage renal disease in a DaVita center. The objective of this study is to understand whether and to what degree anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies mitigate the risk of subsequent SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID disease within the ESKD population.
