Filter by:Bronchial asthma may present with symptoms other than the commonly reported complaints (cough, chest tightness, shortness of breath and wheezing). Less common symptoms include chronic or recurrent productive cough, inspiratory dyspnoea or recurrent pneumonia. Children presenting with these symptoms are often diagnosed with asthma bronchiale and benefit from antiasthmatic management.
Influenza and other acute respiratory viral infections remain practically uncontrollable diseases due to the high variability of the antigenic structure of influenza viruses and the heterogeneity of pathogens of acute respiratory infections. Therefore, for the prevention and treatment of influenza, acute respiratory viral infections and herpes infections, it is relevant to develop drugs - immunomodulators that mobilize the reserves of nonspecific and specific immune systems and enhance the effects of these systems against the pathogens. The drug CYCLOFERON, 150 mg, enteric-coated tablets, contains the active substance meglumine acridone acetate, which is an interferon inducer. Interferons are the most important system of innate immunity, which has antiviral and immunomodulatory effects, and can protect the body from infection with a virus, and in case of infection, fight the causative agent of the disease. The planned clinical trial of the efficacy and safety of the drug CYCLOFERON in the dosage form of a tablet will study its ability to prevent influenza and other respiratory viral infections in adults who have already had close contact with patients with manifest disease.
Objectives: 1. To compare the immune response of patients with or without sepsis presenting to the ED with a(n) (suspected) infection. 2. To determine immune response aberrations that are associated with an increased risk of developing sepsis in patients presenting to the ED with a(n) (suspected) infection without sepsis. 3. To determine the long term cognitive and physical sequelae of sepsis after admission.
The primary objective of this clinical performance study is to evaluate and further validate the clinical performance of: 1. ClariLight Influenza A/B & SARS-CoV-2 test kits and 2. ClariLight Influenza A/B & RSV test kits, for the qualitative detection and differential diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2, influenza A, influenza B, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) present in anterior nasal and oropharyngeal swab, in combination with an automated molecular diagnostic analyzer and sample collection tube by comparing them against a CE marked, in-vitro diagnostic device, used in the standard of care.
Background: COVID-19 left consequences in different organs from months to years requiring different types of rehabilitation. In fact, a severe loss in the lung function, and in the respiratory and peripheral muscle strength is commonly observed in post-COVID-19 patients. Objectives: Thus, the present study investigated whether 30 days of supplementation with a nutritional blend (ImmuneRecov®; composition: whey protein concentrate, astaxanthin, creatine, selenium, vitamin C, glutamic acid, tryptophan, magnesium) would help to minimize the respiratory (lung function) and muscular (respiratory and peripheral muscles) sequelae in post-COVID-19 patients.
Vapendavir (VPV) is a drug being developed to treat human rhinovirus (RV) infection, one virus responsible for the common cold. Vapendavir prevents the virus from entering cells and making more infectious copies of itself. A study is being planned to investigate VPV in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, a lung disease making it difficult to breathe) who develop a rhinoviral infection; however, VPV has not been approved for use in treating any indication (disease) by the FDA or any other global regulatory agency. Therefore, VPV is considered investigational, and the study doctor is conducting this investigational research study. Safety will be monitored throughout the entire study.
Acute respiratory infections are common diseases worldwide with the highest incidence and mortality rates, especially among children. Currently, the prevention of acute respiratory infections in children still faces certain limitations. Although there is a vaccine available for influenza, there are no vaccines yet for RSV and adenovirus in children, and influenza vaccination needs to be repeated annually to achieve optimal effectiveness. Therefore, maintaining respiratory and throat hygiene is essential for both treatment and prevention, ensuring respiratory health for children and reducing the risk of bacterial co-infections. In recent years, preventive strategies for respiratory inflammation have garnered increasing attention, with probiotics being shown to have the potential to support treatment and prevention & reduce the risk of recurrent respiratory infections, thus decreasing reliance on antibiotics. Here, the investigators propose that direct nasal spraying of probiotics may be safe and effective in preventing respiratory diseases. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of two types of nasal- praying Bacillus probiotics including LiveSpo Navax (1 billion/mL x 30 mL B. subtilis and B. clausii) and LiveSpo Navax Kid (0.6 billion/mL x 30 mL B. subtilis and B. clausii) in preventing respiratory diseases. Study Population: The sample size is 600. Description of Sites: The study is conducted at preschools in Son Tay Province, Hanoi, Vietnam. Description of Study Intervention: A total of 600 eligible children are randomly divided into three groups (n = 200/group each). Children in the Control group received 0.9% NaCl physiological saline twice daily (morning and afternoon), with 2 sprays in each nostril and 2 sprays in the throat each time (totally 6 sprays each time), continuously for four weeks. Children in the Probiotic 1 group receive LiveSpo Navax product, and children in the Probiotic 2 group receive LiveSpo Navax Kid, with the same dosage and frequency as the Control group. Study Duration: 12 months.
The present study will assess the effect and cost-effectiveness of the availability of point-of-care (POC) PCR testing, in respiratory tract infections (RTIs) in general practice, compared with usual care.
The purpose of the study is to learn about the safety and amount of sisunatovir in the blood of infants and children up to age 60 months. These children have Lower Respiratory Tract Infection (LRTI) caused by Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). LRTI is the infection to the lower airways such as lungs. This study will help inform the amount of sisunatovir to be used in future studies of sisunatovir in children. This study is seeking for participants who: - Are 1 day to less than or equal to 60 months of age - weigh more than or equal to 2.5 kilograms to less than or equal to 23 kilograms. - Have been tested to have RSV by medical tests. - show signs of LRTI. All participants in the study will receive many amounts of sisunatovir or placebo. Placebo is a pill that does not have any medicine in it. Up to 7 visits are required for the study. Some of these visits include checking participants health over the phone and/or a visit at home. The study will compare the experiences of infants and children receiving sisunatovir to identify the amount of sisunatovir to be used in future studies in infants and children.
The main purpose of this study is to learn about the effectiveness of Pfizer's ABRYSVO vaccine. This vaccine helps to prevent infections caused by Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). RSV is a virus that can cause infections in the airways. These symptoms can be cold-like symptoms, but in some cases can lead to severe symptoms or hospitalization. This study uses only healthcare data that are already collected from routine visits to healthcare providers. This means that participants will not be actively enrolled in the study and there are no study treatments. The study will look at data for about two years. This study will look at patient information from: - Adults ages 60 years and older - Are eligible to receive the ABRYSVO vaccination
