Filter by:This observational study evaluates whether lung sound analysis with LungPass device can be used to differentiate upper and lower respiratory tract infections (URTI and LRTI)
This phase 1b study is a double-blind, double-dummy, nitrofurantoin-controlled study designed to evaluate microbiological response at the test of cure (ToC) visit along with safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic (PK) response following daily oral dosing for 5 days of GSK3882347 in an adult female with uncomplicated urinary tract infections (uUTI). Comparator nitrofurantoin will be included in the study to ensure unbiased reporting of safety events. The study will be separated into 2 cohorts. Cohort 1 consists of an inpatient treatment period and PK analysis at frequent timepoints. Cohort 2 includes an outpatient treatment period and PK analysis conducted less frequently, at key trough timepoints.
To evaluate the HyperDetector as a method to rapidly screen SARS-CoV-2 To determine the sensitivity and specificity of the screening assay performed on oral swab and saliva specimens, compared to a validated RT-PCR COVID-19 method using nasal or nasopharyngeal swabs and to separately collected nasal swabs, oral swabs, oral rinse and saliva samples. To determine the best workflow for using such an assay to reflex suspicious/positive samples to a validated RT-PCR COVID-19 assay.
Background: The COVID-19 outbreak has strained the health care system. New tools are needed for diagnostic testing and monitoring of people who have the virus. Researchers want to test a device they hope can screen, detect, and monitor symptoms linked to respiratory diseases like COVID-19. Objective: To evaluate and validate a device that measures breathing, body temperature, heart rate, and tissue oxygenation. Eligibility: Healthy adults ages 18 and older with no flu-like symptoms and no current signs of infection, cough, fever, or sneezing. Design: Participants will have a physical exam. Their vital signs will be taken. Participants will sit in a chair. They will be monitored for 60 to 80 minutes while they do the following tasks: Rest for 10 minutes. They will repeat this after each task. Hold their breath for up to 2 minutes and then rest for 2 minutes. They will do this task 3 times. Pace-breathe with breathing rates of 10, 20, and 30 breaths per minute. They will do this task 2 times. Breathe air that has 5% of carbon dioxide for 5 minutes. During these tasks, data will be collected and recorded with a pulse oximeter, thermometer, respiratory belt, and spirometer. Participants will fill out questionnaires related to their daily activity (medication intake, exercise, smoking, and drinking). Participation will last for 2 to 3 hours.
To analyze the clinical impact of a food supplement composed of D Mannose, cranberry extract (Cran-max) and Vitamin D3 in the prevention of recurrent lower urinary tract infections (UTI)
To observe the efficacy of cefuroxime-containing bismuth quadruple regimen in the eradication treatment of Helicobacter pylori, and to evaluate whether it can be used as a remedial treatment for Helicobacter pylori after initial or repeated treatment failure.
Previous studies have suggested that prophylactic muscle coverage in high-risk patients undergoing revascularization procedures through a groin incision have the potential to reduce rates of complications and re-operation. This is a prospective randomized control trial to test this hypothesis at the University of Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinics.
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an infection prevention bundle on surgical site infections in patients undergone brain tumor surgery. The patients were divided into 2 groups: infection prevention bundle group and control group
This study is designed to characterize in detail the clinical, physiologic, and inflammatory features of Human Rhinovirus (HRV) infection in healthy volunteers without underlying lung disease while also evaluating the safety of HRV administrations.
Late preterm infants, who are born at 34, 35 or 36 weeks gestation, often have difficulty feeding, establishing growth, and fighting off infection. Breastfeeding provides improved nutrition to help fight infection, in part because breast milk encourages the growth of healthy bacteria (microbiota) in the infant's intestine. However, when mothers give birth preterm, their breasts are usually not quite ready to make milk; it can take several days to have enough breast milk to match a baby's nutritional needs. If there is not yet enough breast milk, formula is often used. However, formula can interfere with the growth of healthy intestinal bacteria. An alternate nutritional option is donor milk from a certified milk bank, which is available in all neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) in San Francisco. However, no scientific studies have yet studied donor milk for late preterm infants, so currently all San Francisco NICUs (as well as the large majority of NICUs nationwide) reserve donor milk for infants born at <34 weeks. This study's investigators therefore propose the "Milk, Growth and Microbiota (MGM) Study," a randomized controlled trial to compare banked donor milk to formula for breastfeeding late preterm infants born in San Francisco. Once enrolled in MGM, infants will be randomly assigned to receive either formula or banked donor milk if they need additional nutrition until their mothers are making enough milk. After enrolling the babies, investigators will weigh them daily to assess their growth. The investigators will also collect infant bowel movements at baseline, 1 week and 1 month to determine whether donor milk vs. formula impacts the type of bacteria in the baby's intestine. If the study's results show that donor milk optimizes growth while helping establish healthy bacteria in the baby's intestine, donor milk might be postnatal strategy to bolster neonatal nutrition for late preterm infants.
