Filter by:Large doses of systemic corticosteroids ，severe lung tissue damage and longer COPD diagnosis may increase the risk of IPA in patients with chronic structural lung disease. By comparing the risk factors of aspergillus colonization group and aspergillus infection group, the main risk factors of aspergillus pneumonia were determined.
The study is planned to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and safety of XC8, film-coated tablets, in the treatment of dry non-productive cough on the background of acute respiratory infections in children from 6 to 17 years compared with placebo.
The purpose of the pivotal study is to collect blood specimens and clinical data from pediatric (>90 days old) and adult (≥18 years old) patients presenting with signs and symptoms suggestive of acute bacterial or viral infection. These samples will be used to establish the diagnostic performance of MeMed BV™ for differentiating bacterial from viral infection using method comparison and/or method concordance.
1. Detect the prevelance of Blastocystis spp. and Cryptosporidium spp. among patients with colorectal cancer attending South Egypt Cancer Institute-Assiut University. 2. Detect the effect of Blastocystis and Cryptosporidium infection on various cytokines level in CRC patients that may be involved in the tumor progression.
The purpose of the study is to determine the effectiveness, safety, and health-care utilization and costs of a preoperative Staphylococcus aureus (SA) screening and decolonization bundle, (5 days of nasal mupirocin ointment, chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) body wash, and CHG mouth rinse), in eradicating SA carriage compared to other SA decolonization approaches. The study will conduct a single center pilot trial to compare efficacy of different SA decolonization approaches in pre-surgical patients, in eradicating SA carriage, after obtaining informed consent. The study will compare four different approaches, Arm 1) screen for SA carriage and using the three-drug decolonization bundle for 5 days among patients with SA colonization, non SA carriers in this arm will get two pre-op showers with CHG soap, Arm 2) all participants receive the three drug decolonization bundle, Arm 3) all receive pre-op nasal povidone iodine the day of surgery plus two pre-op showers with CHG soap, and Arm 4) all receive nasal alcohol gel the day of surgery plus two pre op showers with CHG soap. The primary efficacy outcome will be eradication of SA colonization at all 5 body sites. Secondary outcomes will be SA surgical site infections (SSIs), all SSIs, and SA healthcare associated infections (HAIs). The study will also compare eradication of SA from each of the 5 body sites as a secondary outcome.
This study aims to investigate the acceptability and feasibility of deploying air purifiers equipped with HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filters in classrooms, to study air purifiers as an infection control measure. It will also evaluate the direct effect of air purifiers on air quality, comparing ceiling-mounted purifiers, portable purifiers and no purifier.
Cardiac Intensive Care Units (CICUs) provide care for a diverse patient population. Understanding the clinical characteristics, analysis of treatment modalities, and prognosis of patients hospitalized in the CICU are important to improve cardiovascular care. The purpose of this registry is to determine the demographics, clinical, treatment, and prognosis of patients hospitalized in the Polish CICUs. Data from this multicenter, prospective observational study will provide more robust data to facilitate quantitative characterization of cardiac care in contemporary Polish CICUs and enable the development of infrastructure for clinical trials in CICUs.
This study is designed to assess the comparative clinical utility of the point of care cobas® liat CT/NG/MG to current standard practices in the diagnosis and treatment of urogenital infections with Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG), and Mycoplasma genitalium (MG).
Single center, no profit experimental study on sera available in the Tropica Biobank.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance, usability, and result interpretation of the INSTI® HIV Self-Test (referred to INSTI® HIV ST) in the intended use population across the United States (US). The INSTI® HIV Self-Test is a single use in vitro test that is used as a self-test for the detection of antibodies to HIV-1 and HIV-2 in human fingerstick blood. This study is designed to evaluate INSTI® HIV ST performance in the hands of non-professionals and untrained lay users who are inexperienced in HIV blood-based self-testing. The study aims to: To evaluate the clinical performance (i.e., diagnostic sensitivity and specificity) of the INSTI® HIV Self-Test in a lay user population. To assess the user's comprehension of the INSTI® HIV ST results (e.g., interpreting positive, negative, and invalid results). To evaluate the usability of the INSTI® HIV ST and understand users' experience in performing the test.
