Filter by:The hypothesis for this trial is that an antibiotic strategy for the management of non-severe community-acquired alveolar pneumonia in children aged 3 to 59 months, including amoxicillin 80-100 mg/kg/day for at least 3 days in case of rapid response and 5 days in case of delayed response, would not be inferior to current French recommendations (antibiotic therapy for 5 days in case of rapid response and 7 days in case of delayed response) in terms of treatment of failure rate at 7 days.
Severe community-acquired pneumonia still has a high incidence and mortality, but the molecular mechanism and prognostic biomarkers of severe community-acquired pneumonia caused by different pathogens are still unclear, and the best treatment strategy has not been determined. Based on this, this project intends to take patients with severe community-acquired pneumonia caused by different pathogens as the research object, explore the molecular mechanism of severe community-acquired pneumonia from multiple angles, integrate relevant research data to evaluate the rationality of initial empirical medication, and lay the foundation for precise treatment of severe pneumonia. The research results will help to develop a new rapid and accurate target for clinical diagnosis and efficacy evaluation of severe pneumonia, and build a precise treatment system for severe pneumonia.
Sepsis is a complex syndrome that causes lethal organ dysfunction due to an abnormal host response to infection. No drug specifically targeting sepsis has been approved. The heterogeneity in sepsis pathophysiology hinders the identification of patients who would benefit, or be harmed, from specific therapeutic interventions. Recent clinical genomics studies have shown that sepsis patients can be stratified as molecular endotypes, or subclasses, with important clinical implications. Classifying sepsis patients as molecular endotypes revealed that a poor prognosis endotype was characterized by immunosuppression and septic shock. Against this backdrop, the study hypothesis is that a poor prognosis for sepsis is defined by a molecular endotype reflecting impaired innate immune and endothelial barrier integrity in the primary anatomical site of infection.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the eravacycline combination therapy in multidrug-resistant acinetobacter gaumannii pneumonia. The main question is to evaluate the the effectiveness and safety. Participants will be given Eravacycline and Polymyxin，or other antibiotcs that the Investigator considered suitable. During the clinical trial, participants will be monitored for blood drug concentrations and drug concentrations in the ELF (Epithelial Lining Fluid。Clinical efficacy rate and microbiological clearance rate will be assessed at the same time
Descriptive, retrospective, observational, anonymous, study to evaluate the potential effect of incorporating calcifediol into the therapeutic protocol of patients hospitalized for COVID-19 on mortality and other outcome variables, such as admission to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), to "Gerencia de Atención Integrada (GAI) de Albacete". "Complejo Hospitalario Universitario de Albacete". Albacete (Spain)", based on the files of the MXXI medical records, Information System of the Laboratory (ISL) and Pharmacy.
This is the matched 1:2 case-control study, prospectively collect case and control who are diagnosed with pneumococcal or non-pneumococcal community acquired pneumonia (CAP), accordingly from November 2023 through October 2024. The investigators define a CASE as a person aged ≥60 years due to pneumococcal confirmed CAP either in-patients or out-patients by doctor in charge. While a CONTROL is defined as a person aged ≥60 years due to non-pneumococcal confirmed CAP either in-patients or out-patients by doctor in charge. The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) in pneumococcal CAP in Thai adults aged ≥ 60 years with or without any medical conditions. The main questions it aims to answer is: • What are the effectiveness of PCV13 for preventing all typed, vaccine typed, or non-vaccine typed of pneumococcal CAP among Thai older adults? The investigators retrospectively collect cases and control who are diagnosed with CAP accordingly from January 2012 through October 2023. The investigators define case and control the same as prospective method, but all data were retrieved from archive database. -The investigators select a 1:2 matched control with criteria as follows; 10-year-interval of age, ward (the same patient care such as out or in-patient, or admitted in the same level ward). Participants will be - collated from hospital database regarding their CAP illnesses by pneumococcal and non-pneumococcal pneumonia condition. - explored their vaccine status by either vaccine book checking or hospital database. Researcher will compare the effectiveness of PCV13 to prevent all typed, vaccine typed and non-vaccine typed pneumococcal pneumonia.
The purpose of the protocol is to study the pulmonary microbiome in patients who develop pneumonia.
This is a single center, pragmatic, randomized clinical trial (pRCT) examining whether reporting the results of a negative rapid PCR back to the provider via a pager alert results in decreased vancomycin utilization for critically ill adults with community-acquired pneumonia when compared with usual care.
Determine the efficacy of dexamethasone plus standard of care (SOC) as compared to placebo plus SOC for treating severe hospital-acquired pneumonia in critically ill patients with a proinflammatory phenotype; It's an international phase III, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial.
Pentoxifylline is a xanthine-derived, commercially produced drug approved for the management of intermittent claudication in patients suffering from a chronic occlusive arterial disease of the limbs. Pentoxifylline has been documented to display anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects, as well as some antithrombotic and antiviral effects. This drug has also been shown to reduce lung fibrosis in patients with COVID-19, as well as to prevent thromboembolic events. This work aims to assess the benefit of oral Pentoxifyllin supplementation, in addition to standard antibiotic and other supportive therapy, in the management of hospitalized children with community-acquired pneumonia
