Filter by:Catheter dysfunction and infections are the most common complications observed among patients with dialysis catheters for long-term dialysis ( CDLD ) . They are causing a worsening of the morbidity and mortality of patients , loss of quality of renal replacement therapy , a reduction in the duration of catheterization , as well as increased spending related to health care. The use of anti- reflux ( Tego ® , ICU Medical , USA, distributed by the Laboratory Hemotech , FRANCE ) valves reduces the rate of dysfunction and infections CDLD( catheters for long-term dialysis ). Unpublished preliminary data suggest that these valves allow parallel use of interdialytic saline locks without increasing the risk of dysfunction. This strategy would therefore achieve significant savings usual interdialytic CDLD( catheters for long-term dialysis )locks ( including heparin) whose use is not devoid of potentially serious adverse events and whose health care costs have increased dramatically in recent years . Moreover, this would also produce savings in fibrinolytic treatment. A randomized controlled trial is needed to assess the effectiveness of TEGO ® valves in combination with saline locks on the risk of dysfunction CDLD(catheters for long-term dialysis ) .
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of pre-transplant mRNA-1647 on post-transplant cytomegalovirus (CMV) virologic outcomes, anti-CMV antiviral use, and clinical outcomes in CMV-seropositive and CMV-seronegative liver transplant candidates who receive transplants and to assess the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of mRNA-1647 in all participants.
This is a single center Phase I clinical trial of FT538 administered intravenously (IV) once every 14 days for 4 consecutive doses for the reduction of the HIV reservoir in lymphoid tissue of HIV-infected individuals receiving standard of care (SOC) antiretroviral therapy (ART). As this is an early 1st in human study and the 1st for HIV-infected individual, the safety of FT538 is confirmed prior to the addition of oral vorinostat to explore the concept of "Kick and Kill".
This is a randomized control trial which will randomize patients who will be undergoing laparoscopic (conventional or robotic assisted) total hysterectomy to vaginal prep with 4% chlorhexidine gluconate vs 10% povidone iodine. There is paucity of information regarding the superiority of one over the other.
This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic performance of a novel mRNA diagnostic/prognostic classifier (interprets the expression of 29 host response mRNA biomarkers) from whole blood in adult patients presenting to emergency departments (ED) with suspected infection.
This phase Ib trial evaluates the safety and most effective dose of a cytomegalovirus (CMV) pp65 peptide-loaded alpha-type-1 polarized dendritic cell (CMV-alphaDC1) vaccination in patients who are undergoing an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant. CMV is an opportunistic infection that can occur or reactivate after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant as a result of immunosuppression. The CMV-alphaDC1 vaccine is made of white blood cells that have been exposed to molecules called cytokines, as well as CMV proteins. Introducing these dendritic cells to the patients immune system may activate an immune response to CMV, protecting against infection or reactivation.
Detection of bacterial and viral pathogens infection among hospitalized patients using breath analysis - feasibility study.
This is a study designed to evaluate bacteriophage therapy in patients with chronic prosthetic joint infections.
This study will test the feasibility of a regimen of intraoperative (IO) and intravenous (IV) PhageBank⢠bacteriophage therapy in conjunction with a DAIR procedure to cure chronic prosthetic joint infection (PJI) without replacement of the prosthesis.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Islatravir (ISL) in trans and gender diverse (TGD) participants who are receiving gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) and are at low-risk for human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) infection.
