Filter by:The aim of this study is to test saliva samples obtained from healthy human participants for anti-viral activity after they have consumed S. salivarius probiotic in a powder format.
This randomized trial in rural Bangladesh will measure whether installing concrete floors in households with soil floors reduces child enteric infection. The trial will randomize eligible households to receive concrete household floors or to no intervention and measure effects on child soil-transmitted helminth infection, diarrhea, and other enteric infections. The study will collect longitudinal follow-up measurements at birth and when children are ages 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months.
Pilot non comparative study assessing the clinical control of infection of DAIR + SAT +NaCl and DAIR + SAT + Phages anti-Staphylococcus aureus in patients with Staphylococcus aureus Prosthetic Joint Infection with an indication of DAIR + SAT.
This is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, safety and efficacy study of contezolid acefosamil (IV)/contezolid (PO) compared with linezolid (IV and PO) administered for a total of 14 to 28 days in adult subjects with moderate or severe DFI.
To evaluate the colonisation efficacy (i.e. ability of the probiotic bacteria to remain in your mouth) of a fast melt powder that quickly dissolves in the mouth. The fast melt powder will contain a Streptococcus salivarius probiotic and the study is to be done in healthy adults.
This is an open-label, randomized controlled trial. The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Qingre Huashi Granules combined the modified dual therapy (or called high dose dual therapy) for Helicobacter pylori infection specifically in geriatric patients, compared with the bismuth containing quadruple therapy. A total of 160 eligible patients will be enrolled in 4 hospitals. The eradication rate, symptoms, and the adverse events will be recorded and analyzed.
The study is a cluster randomized controlled trial developed in counties located in Appalachia and the Midwest. We will prioritize counties from states with high risk for HIV and HCV infection associated with injection drug use.
In the proposed study, we will apply Prevena on the surgical wound right after closure of the wound in the operating theater. Prevena will be used for 7 days, unless there is ongoing infection or much wound drainage that requires debridement. Most periprosthetic joint infections are from hematogenous origin. Hence, it is considered clean wound unless there is a discharging sinus.
Liver cirrhosis is a common serious chronic disease. There are about 123 million patients with liver cirrhosis worldwide, and about 1 million people die of liver cirrhosis every year. The proportion of bacterial infection in hospitalized patients with liver cirrhosis is between 25% and 46%, among which spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is the most common type of infection in patients with liver cirrhosis. After early and reasonable diagnosis and treatment, the mortality of cirrhotic patients with SBP can be reduced from more than 90% to about 20%. Therefore, rapid and accurate diagnosis is of great help to improve the prognosis of cirrhotic patients with SBP. However, at present, the traditional detection methods is time-consuming with a low detection rate, and can not detect intracellular bacteria and some other types of pathogens. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a relatively new detection technology which can detect the nucleic acid sequence information in a high-throughput, large-scale way. It can detect the pathogens comprehensively, fast and accurately. In recent years, NGS has gradually transitioned from a research tool to a diagnostic method. Many studies have shown that NGS has better application value in bloodstream infections, ocular infectious diseases, central nervous system infectious diseases and respiratory infectious diseases. However, there is still a lack of research on the use of NGS for the detection of pathogenic microorganisms in ascites. Therefore, by comparing the next generation sequence (NGS) and traditional detection technology in the detection of pathogens in ascites, this study aimed to evaluate the value of NGS in the pathogenic diagnosis of ascites infection.
The aim of this study is to determine whether an intervention with frequent thermotherapy will be able to reduce the amount of colonizing bacteria in the bronchoalveolar lavage sample and eradicate the colonizing bacteria.
