Filter by:Biodiversity is essential for nature and human well-being. Land use has reduced biodiversity in cities that is associated with altered commensal microbiota and a rising burden of immunological disorders among urban children. The investigators will estimate how rewilding of kindergarten yards affects commensal microbiome, prevalence of allergies, asthma, atopic dermatitis and infections, cortisol levels, cognitive skills and plasma cytokine levels of children. Our specific aims are: To assess if rewilding diversifies health-associated skin, saliva and gut microbiota and reduces infectious diseases and atopic or allergic symptoms. Assess whether the rewilding has positive effects on cognitive skills. Assess whether the rewilding changes cortisol and plasma cytokine levels. The investigators will recruit altogether 320 (160 per treatment) study subjects aged between 1-5 to questionnaire study (Task 2), from which 120 study subjects will be analyzed more detailed using microbiological and blood samples (Task 1).
The study is planned to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and safety of XC8, film-coated tablets, in the treatment of dry non-productive cough on the background of acute respiratory infections in children from 6 to 17 years compared with placebo.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of interferon α1b (GB05) in the treatment of children under 2 years of age with respiratory syncytial virus infection.
The study is planned to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and safety of Ingavirin®, capsules, 60 mg, in the treatment of influenza or other acute respiratory infections in children from 13 to 17 years compared with placebo.
There is no cure for cold or flu, most people recover in about within two weeks. Paracetamol may be used to reduce aches or treat fever, headache, or body aches. Antiviral solutions ranging from simple universal saline solutions to novel compounds have been proposed to provide a temporary barrier to prevent viral infection and propagation. The nasal spray "Humer Stop Virus" is indicated in patients presented with early symptoms of viral respiratory infection. This spray forms a protective barrier in the nasal mucosa which is the main entry of the upper air respiratory system viruses. The spray traps the viruses and helps the organism to eliminate them before they multiply themselves. This clinical investigation is conducted to assess the performance, clinical benefit and safety of this nasal spray in patients with early symptoms of acute respiratory disease whether or not infection is related to common cold, flu or COVID virus. Indeed, presence of early symptoms of acute respiratory infection does not always imply viral infectionAntigen self-tests are available to confirm viral infection with flu viruses or severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2). However, influenza and other winter viruses are not systematically searched for in general population, because this is of neither collective nor individual interest. To be as pragmatic as possible, we chose to assess performance and safety of the nasal spray on intended users in real conditions. Patients with early symptoms of cold, flu or COVID, are enrolled regardless their PCR test positivity confirming viral infection at the time of enrollment. For study needs, the primary endpoint, which aims to assess the performance of the nasal spray in terms of stopping the viral infection, is assessed in a subgroup of patients with a positive PCR test with flu, COVID or common cold virus in the nasal sample collected at enrollment.
This is a patient level randomized trial for teenagers and adults with asthma who will be randomized to four arms - enhance usual care, rescue inhaled corticosteroids, azithromycin and both rescue inhaled corticosteroids and azithromycin. Participants in all arms will be offered access to an online asthma symptom monitoring system.
The study titled " The Effect of Definitive Identification of Viral Etiology in Emergency Department Patients with Acute Respiratory Infection on Antibiotic Utilization (RADIATE)" aims to investigate the effectiveness of a rapid diagnostic approach in reducing unnecessary antibiotic use in the emergency department (ED) for patients presenting with acute respiratory illness (ARI) due to a virus. Using a prospective design, eligible participants are individuals who visit the ED with complaints related to acute respiratory illness. The study will employ a single-arm consecutive enrollment approach. The intervention involves the implementation of a rapid point-of-care multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test to promptly identify the viral cause of the infection. By utilizing a rapid diagnostic tool to identify viral etiology, the study aims to provide healthcare professionals in the ED with more accurate information to guide treatment decisions. Ultimately, the goal is to decrease the unnecessary use of antibiotics for ARI's due to a virus, which has several negative outcomes including promotion of antibiotic resistance, exacerbating ED length of stay and encouraging unnecessary additional diagnostic tests.
This is a randomized, controlled clinical trial with two parallel groups in which 150 volunteers (75 per group) will receive either VITIS CPC Protect® mouthwash (Mouthwash with cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) as an anti-plaque antiseptic at a concentration of 0.07%) or mouthwash without cetylpyridinium chloride, as control group Subjects included in the study will be followed for 90 days. Symptoms associated with vURTIs (viral upper respiratory tract infections) should be recorded, when they appear, to determine the existence of viral infections of the upper respiratory tract. Symptoms and adverse effects will be recorded when the episode occurs. The assignment as VURIs will be made by the investigator once the diaries have been completed, or during the symptoms if possible.
Through contact with peers in daycare and (primary)school young children play a large role in spreading respiratory pathogens. In this study the investigators will investigate this transmission, the subsequent colonization and infection dynamics, and their association with clinical symptoms and local immune response through dense minimally-invasive sampling. This study will allow us a unique insight into the transmission-, infection-, and colonization-potential of the respiratory pathogens.
The aim of this study is to confirm the efficacy, safety and tolerability of the Mouth and Throat Rinse in adult participants with acute sore throat (upper respiratory tract infection e.g., pharyngitis/laryngitis) compared to placebo.
