Filter by:A pilot study was initiated to assess feasibility of testing asymptomatic dental patients presenting to the Oral Medicine Clinic at Rutgers School of Dental Medicine for SARS-CoV-2 viral antigen using a point-of-care (POC) Rapid Antigen test. 14 subjects with upcoming appointment at the Oral Medicine clinic, Rutgers School of Dental Medicine, with no history of documented COVID-19 infection or viral exposure, were enrolled in a study that interrogated patients' perceptions of safety and feedback regarding their testing experience. All 14 patients expressed initial interest, however, 10 patients completed informed consent and completed study procedures. Institutional Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) certification of waiver was obtained prior to conducting the study. Communicable Diseases Reporting and Surveillance System (CDRSS) registration and training were completed to enable reporting results of the POC test.
The study will be conducted on women with risk factors for SSI assigned to gynecological surgery with an open abdominal approach. The participants will be designated to either Irrigation and suction arm by bilateral drain insertion or the control arm by randomization through the parallel assignment. The participants will be followed for the outcome for four days in the hospital and then at 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks postoperatively. The primary outcome measure will be the SSI rate. Secondary outcomes will be signs of SSI, post-operative pain, other complications and patient satisfaction.
The objective of this study is simulate the clinical use of an antiseptic solution in a 24 hour window and the recovery to baseline conditions at 1 month following application. Efficacy will be simulated as the capacity of the material to reduce or clear the skin bacterial population from a representative skin area: the anteromedial forearm.
10 asymptomatic DHCWs in the Oral Medicine clinic, Rutgers School of Dental Medicine, with no history of documented COVID-19 infection or viral exposure, were enrolled in a study that interrogated DHCWs' perceptions of safety and adoption of risk mitigation behavior. Following a baseline survey, finger-prick blood samples were collected twice two weeks apart using an innovative microsampling technique that replaces the need for venipuncture. Samples were processed using an in-house ELISA assay to detect IgM and IgG directed against the Receptor Binding Domain (RBD) of the Spike protein. Weekly Rapid Antigen testing of nasal swab specimens was used to document Antigen negativity during the study.
A pilot study was initiated to assess feasibility of testing asymptomatic dental patients presenting to the Oral Medicine Clinic at Rutgers School of Dental Medicine for SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA using an FDA approved RT-PCR test for SARS-CoV2- an RNA RT-PCR assay (Accurate Diagnostics)
Phase IV, single-center, open study to assess the benefits of the start of immediate treatment without immunovirological data ("Same Day Treatment") compared to conventional treatment with BIC / FTC / TAF in naive patients with type 1 HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection
Primary: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Nitric Oxide Nasal Spray combined with standard supportive care compared with standard supportive care alone in adult subjects with COVID-19 not requiring hospitalization Secondary: The secondary objective is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Nitric Oxide Nasal Spray combined with standard supportive care compared with standard supportive care alone in adult subjects with COVID-19 not requiring hospitalization.
Diabetic foot ulcers are frequent with average lifetime risk of 15%, and can lead to bone and joint infections. Current protocols for their management include evaluation of ischemia, assessment of underlying bone infection, sharp debridement, off-loading and use of dressings that promote moist wound healing. Extensive debridement is optimal for wound healing and decreases the risk of recurrence. However, extension of surgical debridement is left at the clinician judgement and thus lacks standardised protocols. Plus, there is currently no known risk factors or specific biomarkers that can help guide the clinician for the extent of debridement or that can predict a recurrence in case of non-extensive debridement. The main objectives of the study are to either unravel a new biomarker, and/or identify risk factors associated with poor prognosis following surgical debridement in diabetic foot ulcers. Histones, more specifically H3.1 subtype, have been associated with sepsis. The main hypothesis is that higher blood levels of H3.1 will be present in participants showing poor prognosis (i.e., having additional surgeries, amputation, death) and that a rise in H3.1 blood levels compared to baseline (before the 1st surgical intervention) would provide an early warning of relapse or treatment failure.
The study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Broncho-munal®, capsules, 7 mg (Sandoz dd, Slovenia) versus Placebo in the treatment of patients with acute uncomplicated respiratory tract infections.
IT001-310 is a clinical study which compares the effectiveness of oral sulopenem versus oral amoxicillin/clavulanate for the treatment of adult women with uncomplicated urinary tract infection.
