This a research study to find out whether giving Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) through a Helmet is the same or better than giving CPAP through a Facemask, Nasal Mask, or Nasal Prongs. CPAP can help kids with lung infections breathe easier. The machine delivers pressurized air, which may help people with lung infections breathe more easily. Doctors routinely use a Facemask, Nasal Mask or Nasal Prongs to give CPAP for kids with lung infections, but the researchers want to know whether using Helmet CPAP is the same or better.
Infections caused by carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae are frequent and often associated with high rates of mortality. Colonized patients are at increased risk of infection for these microorganisms. Moreover, they can act as a reservoir facilitating the transmission to other patients. To date, decolonization strategies with antibiotics have not obtained convincing results. For that reason our main objective is to investigate the efficacy of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) for selective intestinal decolonization of patients colonized by KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kp-KPC) at 30 days after FMT. Our hypothesis is that FMT is effective and safe for selective intestinal decolonization in patients colonized by Kp-KPC. The design of the study is a randomized, superiority, double blind controlled with placebo clinical trial. The main variable is the percentage of patients with intestinal decolonization at 30 days after FMT in intention to treat population (all randomized patients). Decolonization will be considered as the abscence of isolation of Kp-KPC in culture from rectal swab together with the abscence of detection of carbapenemase by mean of polymerase chain reaction. Secondary objectives are: - To evaluate the safety of FMT. - To determine if FMT is associated with decrease in the amount of bacteria at 7 days after FMT and 30 days after FMT. - To evaluate if FMT is associated with persistent intestinal decolonization at 3 months after intervention. - To study if FMT is associated with decrease in the incidence of Kp-KPC infections at 3 months after intervention. - To evaluate if FMT is associated with decrease in mortality due to Kp-KPC infections at 3 months after intervention.
The purpose of the study is to assess whether lung ultrasound is able to detect lung injury after lung resection surgery.
Assessment of the Effectiveness of Niclosamide as Add on Therapy to the Standard of care Measures in COVID-19 Management in a randomized controlled clinical trial
Strengthening outpatient low respiratory tract infection surveillance to document the burden of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)
The hallmark of the L phenotype is the vasoplegia, as confirmed by the rapid change in density and distribution of CT findings from the supine to the prone position. The benefit of a prone position in awake, nonintubated, spontaneously breathing Covid-19 patients has been emerging as potential tool to improve oxygenation and to prevent the access to ICU. No evidence of radiological modifications related to Aim of our study is to evaluate CT changes in terms of extension, distribution and prevalence of findings, in the supine compared with the prone position.
COVID-19 is a respiratory disease caused by a new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and causes significant morbidity and mortality. This study is a retrospective trial to assess the efficacy of Remdesivir in adult patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in Mansoura University Isolation Hospital. In this study the investigators will analyze the data collected during treatment.
The trial aims to assess the impact of cheap, licenced and widely available investigational products on the natural history of SARS-CoV-2 infection in 2 groups of patients - those with mild or moderate pneumonia (Cohort 1) and those with severe pneumonia (Cohort 2), through randomisation to non-identical placebo or intervention arm.
A study to observe how often antibiotics are prescribed in children hospitalized for pneumonia and how doctors decide if a child needs antibiotics or not. Parent satisfaction will also be recorded.
