Filter by:During the Covid-19 pandemic, admission patterns for infections other than Covid-19 have changed dramatically among children worldwide. Particularly admissions due to respiratory infections and later invasive streptococcal infections have been well documented. However, few studies have compared rates af gastro-intestinal infections during the pandemic with the previous years. This study aims to compare the number and characteristics of children hospitalized with gastrointestinal infections before the COVID-19 pandemic, to the first strict lockdown in 2020 and to the second, less strict lockdown in 2021. A retrospective review of medical records will be performed, of patients aged 1 month to 5 years admitted with gastroenteritis at the pediatric department at Slagelse Hospital in Denmark over a period from 2017 to 2021.
This is a first in human clinical study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of RQ-01. Adult patients who have tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 virus, have mild symptom(s) of COVID-19 disease, and who are at low risk for developing moderate or severe COVID-19 disease are welcome to participate. The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1. What is the safety profile of RQ-01? 2. What is the reduction in SARS-CoV-2 ribonucleic acid (RNA) shedding after administration of RQ-01? 3. How effective is RQ-01 versus placebo in reducing COVID-19 symptoms? After providing informed consent, subjects will be randomized to RQ-01 (high or low dose) or placebo and will be dosed for 3 consecutive days. Throughout the duration of the trial, subjects will participate in the following activities: perform rapid antigen and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests for COVID-19, answer questions about their medical history and medications, answer questions about their COVID-19 history and symptoms, conduct a physical exam, have their vitals measured, and have bloodwork done.
The aim of this cohort study is to validate Viture®, a continuous temperature telemonitoring system, evaluating the level of agreement with a standard commercially available digital axillary thermometer. The study also aims to evaluate the safety and comfort of the system and to evaluate the impact that the introduction of Viture has on the health care practice of a HaH unit. Furthermore, the advantages of Viture compared to the standard method will be evaluated.
Retrospective, regional, multicenter study (including the Annecy-Genevois Hospital Center, the Chambéry Métropole Savoie Hospital Center, and the Grenoble University Hospital Center), comparing a cohort of patients treated with Cefazolin with a cohort of patients treated with Penicillin M
Because of the increasing incidence of infections with multi-drug resistant enterobacteriaceae, we need alternative treatments to spare carbapenems. Temocillin could be an interesting option but its position is only defined for the curative treatment of urinary tract infections. We would like to explore others indications comparing two groups : one using temocillin empirically for treatment or prophylaxis and the second using it in second line whatever the indication is.
The population of these monocentric and retrospective study includes patients hospitalized in one of the critical care services of Nîmes' community hospital. The objective is to determine the key factors that lead to satisfactory beta-lactams serum concentrations in critically ill patients. Clinical and biological features, as well as risk scores are collected and recorded into an electronic Case Report Form. The primary outcome is to show the main characteristics related to adequate beta-lactams serum concentrations in critically ill inpatients. Secondary outcomes include the key factors related to inadequate beta-lactams serum concentrations in critically ill inpatients, Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) impact in the achievement of target beta-lactams serum concentration and the correlation between Aminoglycosides and Beta-lactams serum concentrations. Do both antibiotics have similar elimination kinetics ?
This is a randomised controlled experiment in the form of a web based survey study which randomly exposes participants to different forms of public health messages, after which participants will be assessed on their intent to take up the COVID-19 vaccine, recommend the vaccine, and also willingness to propagate the exposed message.
Pilot study to provide a descriptive analysis of the real-world feasibility of using a CareCube for COVID-19 patients in a high-volume tertiary care hospital.
The GW Medical Faculty Associates recently launched a remote monitoring program for patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Patients are provided with a home pulse oximeter and thermometer. Participants complete daily surveys about their symptoms and vital signs and are escalated to receive phone calls and video visits if responses are abnormal. Investigators would like to complete a study of the program to understand: 1. Operational parameters of program performance, such as how many patients were enrolled and how many patients completed monitoring 2. Clinical course of patients, including their reported symptoms over time and clinical endpoints such as hospitalization or ICU admission 3. Patient satisfaction with program
This is the first Case Studies article highlight factors determine the effectiveness of Convalescent Plasma Therapy (CPT) in Indonesia, accompanied by supporting data and images before and after the patients received the therapy. This Case Studies gives a huge contribution as CPT still on going as multicentre study and apply massively as emergency approved treatment in Indonesia.
