Filter by: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.
The goal of this observational study is to compare the results of a serum biomarker called the MeMed BV®, which is approved to help differentiate between bacterial and viral respiratory infections, to clinical diagnoses of adult emergency department patients presenting with recent fever and signs or symptoms of a respiratory infection. Active participation is completed during the emergency department visit and includes drawing blood, obtaining a sputum sample, and answering survey questions.

The goal of this observational study is to compare the incidence of ARI and/or diarrheal disease associated with feeding different formulas with and without lactoferrin supplement in children of 2-3 years old. 200 children eligible for the study will be enrolled from two study sites and randomly assigned to two groups (a2 growing up stage 3 formula puls lactoferrin supplement, and Enfinitas growing up stage 3 formula) to feed for 90 days. About 160 children (80 for each group) are expected to finish the study, and data will be collected during the four visits across the study. Researchers will compare the two groups to see if there is significant decrease of the occurrence of diarrheal disease and/or acute respiratory infection for children fed with a2 growing up stage 3 formula puls lactoferrin supplement
COVID-19 infection are characterized by fever and signs of acute respiratory infection. A worsening of respiratory symptoms that can lead to respiratory failure. The decompensation can then be brutal and require rapid recourse to respiratory assistance. The contribution of clinical examination (auscultation and monitoring of oxygen saturation in particular) remains unsatisfactory in predicting an unfavorable course. The interest of pulmonary ultrasound is known in the management of pulmonary infections. However, estimating the severity of lung damage at an early stage could be of great help in monitoring and caring for patients. Ultrasound could meet this need in general practice, the chest scanner is often unavailable in these situations. Ultrasound signs are associated with severe forms. The contribution of pulmonary ultrasound seems particularly interesting in the context of the reassessment of patients during the worsening phase of symptoms (D5-D10). Estimate the prevalence of ultrasound signs in patients with an acute respiratory infection suspected or confirmed to be COVID-19, at the time of the worsening phase (between D5 and D10 of the onset of symptoms). The prevalence of ultrasound lung lesions under COVID-19 may be essential to consider the development of the ultrasound tool in primary care. Indeed, if the contribution of ultrasound is now recognized in intensive care or emergency, its place in general medicine still raises questions.
This randomized controlled trial in older hospitalized patients found that a respiratory care bundle intervention did not significantly reduce the incidence of respiratory infections compared to usual care for the index admission. However, time to next admission for respiratory infection was significantly longer with the intervention compared to usual care. Aim: To evaluate whether a respiratory care bundle, compared to usual care, reduces respiratory infections during and after hospitalization. Methods: In this open-label, single-centre randomized controlled trial, we recruited patients >65 years of age and admitted <72 hours for non-respiratory conditions to a novel respiratory care bundle intervention (whole bed tilt, swallow screen, chlorhexidine mouth wash, and pneumococcal and influenza vaccinations) or usual care. Participants were followed up for 12 months. The primary endpoint was the development of respiratory infection during the index admission. The secondary endpoint was the time to next admission for respiratory infection.
The study aims to evaluate the prognostic value of alveolar and blood NETosis in patients under mechanical ventilation and treated for an acute low-respiratory tract infection. The main outcome is the occurrence of an acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) according to the Berlin definition.
The primary objective of this research is to exhaustively document the course and outcomes of hospitalization, labor, delivery, and early postpartum course of up to 15,000 mother-newborn pairs in settings where the occurrence of adverse outcomes is high. The Investigators will gather detailed laboratory, physiologic, and clinical information, and precisely characterize major adverse diagnoses and outcomes. The resulting high-quality, granular, and generalizable data will be used to develop new algorithms to signal actionable intrapartum diagnoses and prospectively stratify women according to their risk for adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of CKD-497
The aim of this pilot study is to demonstrate the feasibility of viral biomolecular diagnosis in sputum compared to nasopharyngeal swab in cystic fibrosis acute respiratory infection.
