Filter by:The purpose of this pilot study is to test feasibility of concept, consent and enrollment rates, and mechanics of study designed to assess if intra-catheter dwells of tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) is effective in decreasing the rate of clinically diagnosed central line associated blood stream infection (CLABSI) or venous thromboembolism (VTE) in central venous catheters (CVC) compared to standard of care heparin dwell.
Infants with congenital heart disease often require an intervention during their first year of life. Infants are generally admitted to a cardiac intensive care unit and are routinely prescribed stress ulcer prophylaxis to decrease acid release from the stomach to prevent stress ulcer formation. However, these medicines may not be safe and could put infants at increased risk for hospital-acquired infections, necrotizing enterocolitis and alteration to the infant's microbiome. The investigators plan to assess the feasibility of conducting a prospective, blinded randomized control trial to determine the safety of withholding stress ulcer prophylaxis in critically ill infants with congenital heart disease. In addition, the investigators plan to examine the changes to the infant's microbiome through oral, gastric and stool samples and compare hospital-acquired infections.
South Korea has the highest incidence of gastric cancer worldwide and Helicobacter pylori infection is still prevalent. Clarithromycin-containing triple therapy is still the primary therapy approved by the Korean government. However, studies of antibiotic resistance has shown that regional resistance pattern to antibiotics such as clarithromycin, metronidazole, or quinolone. Recent study in Korea has shown that modified-quadruple therapy has comparable eradication rate to concomitant therapy. However, there has been no comparable study of modified-quadruple therapy with bismuth-containing quadruple therapy. The aim of this study is to compare the eradication rate of modified-quadruple therapy and bismuth-containing quadruple therapy with presenting phenotypic and genotypic antibiotic resistance profile.
Patients randomly aligned in 2 groups.Vicryl plus sutures were used in group 1 for closing subperiostal flaps after dental implant surgeries and vicryl sutures were used in group 2.
The purpose of this study is to assess efficacy of 14-day antimicrobial susceptibility test guided quadruple therapy for the rescue treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection, then comparing it with 14-day empirical therapy according to personal medication history.
Urinary tract infections are the second most common community-acquired infections. Even if extended spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBLE) cause fewer urinary tract infections, their proportion is increasing. New recommendations were published by ANSM in 2015, with specific recommendations for infections due to ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae. In this study, we wanted to evaluate the effectiveness of a recall of the 2015 recommendations in the form of a table attached to the ECBU report, associated with hygiene recommendations. Methodology: This prospective, multi-center, non-interventional study was conducted in collaboration with the Labazur laboratory over two 2-month periods, one without modification of the laboratory's practices, the other with the addition of documents on the CBEU report. The primary endpoint was the adequacy of prescriptions to ANSM 2015 recommendations.
A cross-sectional study will be conducted in selected 2 sentinel sites for assessment of drug resistance falciparum and vivax among asymptomatic infection in migrant workers in Myanmar.
To descride the clinical presentation, diagnosis, management and complications of children with a deep neck infection. A retrospective chart review was conducted at the Montpellier hospital in France. All children aged less than 18 years who had been admitted with a diagnosis of cervical phlegmon, tonsillar abscesses, retropharyngeal or parapharyngeal abscesses between January 2015 and December 2017 were included. The investigators collected the demographic, biological, radiological data and treatment received of the patients to the admision. The results of the bacteriological samples were collected. The investigators compared our results to those of the 10-year cohort. The investigators wish to compare the duration of hospitalization and the duration of the fever enter the group treated by alone antibiotic and the group treated by antibiotic and surgical drainage
The Geneva Blood Virome Project is a longitudinal observational study. The main objective is to describe the kinetics of the plasmatic viral load of a selection of at least 21 DNA and RNA viruses of the blood virome in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients, over a one-year period after transplantation. Secondary objectives are: 1) to assess the prevalence of DNA and RNA viruses plasmatic detections and co-detections, 2) to assess the cumulative incidence of DNA and RNA viruses plasmatic detection. The population of the study consists in adult patients receiving allogeneic stem cell transplantation at the University Hospitals of Geneva, enrolled in an already existing monocentric cohort, and for which clinical specimens are collected and stored at the time and after transplantation. The investigators plan to include 120 patients whose plasma samples are collected from March 2017 and to systematically use plasma samples collected on the day of transplantation and several time points after transplantation to screen DNA and RNA viruses by qualitative and quantitative real-time PCR and RT-PCR.
A retrospective, post-marketing, multi-center chart review study includes patients who had been prescribed Ampholipad.
