Filter by:The primary goal is to study participants with recurrent C. difficile infection (CDI) treated with lyophilized fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT). The safety, clinical response and relapse rate in patients will be assessed.
Through a multi-center large-sample retrospective study, the epidemiological changes of TSM in Guangxi have been reviewed, its incidence trend was understood to attract the attention of clinicians; the multiple programs of antifungal therapy for HIV-negative host TSM were compared in terms of effect on clinical remission rate, effective rate, recurrence rate, mortality and toxic side effects on HIV-negative host TSM; their prognosis and recurrence indicators were clarified, and a therapeutic effect evaluation system was established, providing a standard treatment and diagnosis scheme for clinical practice; and simultaneously the positive rate of G and GM experiments in respect of TSM, Aspergillus and other fungi was identified to provide TSM with biological diagnostic indicators. Improve the level of understanding and diagnosis and treatment of HIV-negative TSM in the whole area. A comprehensive efficacy evaluation system and standard treatment program was established to provide a basis for standardized treatment of TSM in HIV-negative hosts. The observational indicators included: 2-week all-cause mortality; 24-week all-cause mortality; clinical improvement time; level of decrease of fungus in the blood culture medium two weeks before treatment; recurrence; appearance of adverse drug reaction at the level 3 and above.
Investigators designed an open, two-arm study to compare fecal microbiota transplant by oral capsules (FMT-c ) versus FMT-c enriched with Lactobacillus for treatment of C. difficile recurrent infection
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of non-adjuvanted and adjuvanted monovalent VEE VLP Vaccine in healthy adults (ages 18-50 years) when administered via intramuscular (IM) injection at escalating doses of 2 μg, 10 μg, and 20 μg as a 2-dose primary series (Day 0, Day 28) with a Day 140 booster dose. The secondary objective of the study is to evaluate immunogenicity of the vaccine at the aforementioned time points
The aim of this study is to identify risk factors and prevalence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) bacteria colonization among patients at high risk of STIs
Patients with sepsis (2 or more systemic inflammatory response syndrome criteria and suspected infection) assessed in the emergency department have blood cultures obtained to identify potential blood stream infections (BSI). Blood cultures are expensive, sometimes inaccurate, and only positive about 10% of the time in the emergency department. This study evaluates the effect of physician knowledge of C-reactive protein (CRP) levels on ordering rates of blood cultures in emergency department patients with sepsis. All patients with sepsis will have CRP levels measured using a point-of-care device, prior to blood tests being ordered. Half of participants will have their CRP level available to the emergency physician and half will not. Blood culture ordering rate and safety outcomes will be compared between these two groups.
The REspiratory Syncytial virus Consortium in EUrope (RESCEU) is an Innovative Medicine Initiative (IMI) effort funded by the EU under the H2020 framework to define and understand the burden of disease caused by human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection. RSV causes severe disease in individuals at the extremes of the age spectrum and in high risk groups. It was estimated that RSV was associated with 34 million cases of acute respiratory tract infection (ARTI), 3.4 million ARTI hospitalizations and 55,000 to 199,000 deaths in children <5 years in 2005 worldwide. These estimates were based on limited data and there is a substantial gap in knowledge on morbidity and associated healthcare and social costs in Europe. New vaccines and therapeutics against RSV are in development and will soon be available on the European market. RESCEU will deliver knowledge of the incidence and burden of disease RSV in young children and older adults in Europe, which is essential for stakeholders (governments, etc) to take decisions about prophylaxis and treatment. Objective: To determine the burden of disease due to RSV in young children. Study design: Prospective epidemiological, observational, multi-country, multicenter cohort study. Study population: Birth cohort of healthy infants (follow-up from birth until the age of 3 years maximum): - Passive birth cohort (n=9,000). - Active birth cohort (n=1,000). Main study parameters/endpoints: The primary endpoint of the study is the incidence of RSV infection-associated ARTI, RSV associated medically attended (MA) ARTI (active birth cohort) and RSV related hospitalization (passive birth cohort) in infants (< 1 year) during 3 RSV seasons. In addition, a major secondary endpoint is RSV attributable burden of wheezing.

The estimated burden of disease in older adults is comparable with non-pandemic influenza A (for which a vaccine is available). These estimates were based on limited data and there is a substantial gap in knowledge on morbidity and associated healthcare and social costs in Europe. New vaccines and therapeutics against RSV are in development and could soon be available on the European market. RESCEU will deliver knowledge of the incidence and burden of RSV disease in young children and older adults in Europe, which is essential for stakeholders (governments, etc.) to take decisions about prophylaxis and treatment. Objective: To determine the burden of disease due to RSV in older adults. Study design: Prospective epidemiological, observational, multi-country, multicenter cohort study. Study population: Adults aged 60 years and up (n=1,000) of which approximately 50% is above 75 years of age. Main study parameters/endpoints: The primary endpoints of the study are; - The incidence of RSV infection-associated ARTI. - RSV associated medically attended (MA) ARTI. - RSV related hospitalization.
Focusing on patients with diabetes complicated with pulmonary infection, the purpose of this study is: 1) to identify the epidemiology, etiologic spectrum and status of diagnosis and treatment; 2) to develop a symptom score scale , clarify the risk factors and create a precise warning model; 3) to develop a rapid detection of pathogen of lower respiratory infection, to establish clinical pathways of early diagnosis and treatment of diabetes complicated with pulmonary infections (including bacterial, tuberculosis and fungal infections) and then make an application in clinic.
This study will describe clinical outcomes in patients who received ceftolozane-tazobactam for a Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection. Primary outcomes include 30-day and in-hospital mortality.
