Filter by:In this study, investigators seek to determine whether the timing of antibiotics given to mothers during an elective C-section affects the composition of their infant's gut microbiome. To do this, a randomized controlled trial (RCT) was carried out with women undergoing elective C-sections. These women were either given antibiotics before the skin incision (AB+) or after the umbilical cord was clamped (AB-).
Exit site infection (ESI) is one of the major predisposing factors to peritoneal dialysis (PD) related peritonitis. Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG) has been widely used for cutaneous disinfection for half a century. TegadermTM CHG is a water-proof dressing with gel pads that provide 2% CHG to the skin surface and effectively prevents catheter-related infections for intravascular catheters. However, its use has not been accessed in patients with PD catheters. We aim to evaluate the effectiveness of TegadermTM CHG dressing in preventing ESI in PD patients.
The aim of the study was to assess the efficacy and safety of AP203 preparation (RESCOVIN®) in a group of patients with increased incidence to viral and/or bacterial upper respiratory tract infections.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the use of single dose fosfomycin and single dose levofloxacin as pre-urodynamic antibiotic prophylaxis for urinary tract infection prevention post-urodynamic in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - What is the difference between the effectiveness of administering a single dose of fosfomycin and levofloxacin prior to the procedure in terms of the incidence rate of urinary tract infection (UTI) post-urodynamic examination? - What is the incidence rate of UTI in the administration of single-dose fosfomycin and levofloxacin prior to the procedure on the incidence rate of UTI post-urodynamic examination? Participants fulfilling the inclusion criteria will be taken their history and vital signs and consume either fosfomycin or levofloxacin based on the randomisation prior to urodynamic procedure. Afterwards, participants will undergo urine analysis 4 days post urodynamic to evaluate if there's any urinary tract infection. If there is any bacteria present, the sample will be cultured to identify bacteria found in the urine.
To compare the results obtained by analysis of a self-collected anterior nasal (AN) swab as part of the Labcorp COVID-19+Flu+RSV Test Home Collection Kit to a healthcare provider (HCP)-collected AN swab in patients with symptoms of viral respiratory infection consistent with influenza A (Flu A), influenza B (Flu B), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and/or SARS-CoV-2 (C-19).
This study aimed to assess the serum Galectin-3 levels in patients with warts both before and after cryotherapy and to investigate its potential contribution to the pathogenesis of human papillomavirus infection.
This observational clinical study aims at the identification of novel biomarkers and causative factors of complicated and/or protracted Epstein-Barr virus-associated infectious mononucleosis (IM). Clinical, biochemical, and routine virological data were collected from 200 patients with IM, novel analytical tools were implemented, and immunological and virological experimental data were generated using blood samples and mouthwashes. Patients have been investigated within four weeks after the onset of symptoms as well as one month and six months thereafter.
This is an open-label, adaptive study using the P. falciparum induced blood stage malaria (IBSM) model to characterise the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) profile and safety of MMV367 (the IMP). Up to 18 participants will be enrolled in cohorts of up to 6 participants each. The study will proceed as follows for all participants: - Screening period of up to 28 days to recruit healthy adult participants. - Day 0: Intravenous inoculation with approximately 2,800 viable P. falciparum-infected red blood cells. - Days 1-3: Daily follow up via phone call or text message. - Days 4-7: Daily site visits for clinical evaluation and blood sampling to monitor malaria parasite numbers via quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). - Day 7 PM: Start of confinement within the clinical trial unit. - Day 8: Administration of a single oral dose of the IMP (MMV367). Different doses of MMV367 will be administered across and within cohorts in order to effectively characterise the PK/PD relationship. - Days 8-11: Regular clinical evaluation and blood sampling while confined to monitor malaria parasite numbers and measure MMV367 plasma concentration. - Day 11 AM: End of confinement within clinical trial unit. - Days 12-23: Outpatient follow-up for clinical evaluation and blood sampling. - Day 24: Initiation of compulsory definitive antimalarial treatment with Riamet® (artemether/lumefantrine) and/or other registered antimalarials if required. Treatment will be initiated earlier than Day 24 in the event of: - Insufficient parasite clearance following IMP dosing - Parasite regrowth following IMP dosing Characterising the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic relationship of MMV367 - Participant discontinuation/withdrawal, - Investigator's discretion in the interest of participant safety. - Day 27: End of study visit for final clinical evaluation and to ensure complete clearance of malaria parasites.
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increased incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) among critically ill patients. However, in a context of high prevalence of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) there is a lack of direct comparison between the incidence of VAP in COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 cohorts. The investigators conducted a prospective, single-center cohort study comparing COVID-19 patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of the Città della Salute e della Scienza University Hospital in Turin, Italy, between March 2020 and December 2021 (COVID-19 group), with a historical cohort of ICU-mixed patients admitted between June 2016 and March 2018 (NON-COVID-19 group).
The aim of the study is to investigate the safety and immunogenicity of the RSV/Flu-01E vaccine for the prevention of respiratory syncytial virus infection in volunteers aged18 to 59 years and over 60 years.
