Filter by:Given the current Covid-19 pandemic alongside the lack of evidence on aerosolization during upper endoscopy the investigators are conducting a randomized controlled trial seeking to assess both the level of aerosolization that occurs during these procedures along with determining if utilization of an endoscopic patient face-masks reduces the level of aerosolized particles. The protocol includes the use of a commercially available particle counter the investigators are employing for the measurement of aerosols before, during, and after anesthesia assisted upper endoscopic procedures. The investigators are recruiting patients undergoing these procedures with a target of 30 patients undergoing endoscopy without a facemask and 30 patients undergoing endoscopy with one.
Patients confirmed COVID-19 with gastrointestinal manifestations will be included. Characteristics and outcomes will be described for them.
Evaluation of "UroShield" device impact upon side effects and complications of urinary catheter usage. The use of urinary catheters is a common medical practice in the perioperative setting. As such, it exposes the patient to certain comorbidities, including urinary tract infections. The infectious process is known to begin with a development of a biofilm on the catheter's surface. This fact makes it an attractive target for UTI prevention technology. Ultrasound waves were shown to reduce biofilm buildup in-vitro. We plan to determine the efficacy of this method in vivo.
Listeriosis is a foodborne infection responsible for severe disease. Three main forms are described: septicaemia, central nervous system infections and maternal-fetal infections. Available data on the disease, are mostly retrospective and do not provide an accurate picture of the clinical / biological / genetic risk factors for the disease, nor identify any element to determine which patients are at higher risk of death, severe neurological impairment or fetal loss. The primary purpose of the study is to identify clinical, biological and genetic risk factors for systemic listeriosis and the determinants of listeriosis-associated mortality in the setting of a large prospective nation-wide study.
The xTAG Gastrointestinal Pathogen Panel (xTAG GPP) is a PCR-based assay to detect the presence or absence of gastrointestinal (GI) pathogens from human stool specimens. The objective of this study is to establish diagnostic accuracy of the xTAG GPP.
The objectives of this study is to evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Intravenous Daptomycin (Cubicin®)Compared with that of Comparator (Vancomycin or Vancomycin Followed by Semi-synthetic Penicillin-cloxacillin) in the Treatment of Chinese Subjects with Complicated Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infection due to Gram-Positive Pathogens.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate any differences in the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of PREZISTA (darunavir; DRV) 600 mg, administered with ritonavir (RTV) 100 mg twice a day on virologic response (defined as a viral load (VL) of < 50 copies/mL) over a 48-week treatment period in HIV-positive women and men. Additional antiretroviral (ARV) agents will also be administered and will be chosen by the Investigator based on resistance testing and prior treatment history (referred to as the Optimized Background Regimen (OBR)).
