Filter by:The main objective of the study is to describe the temporal curve of COVID-19 IgG and neutralizing antibodies over 24 months in an identified population of patients who presented with SARS-CoV-2 virus infection. The secondary objectives are to characterize the kinetics of the antibodies according to the severity of the clinical presentation and patient's characteristics and to determine if the anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies retain their neutralizing capacity over time. A sub-study aims to describe the kinetic of neutralizing antibodies (in blood and nasal mucosa) after vaccination.
Prospective study that will evaluate the clinical agreement of the CoviDx™ Rapid Antigen test compared to SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR.
This study is to evaluate of the accuracy of biomarkers (i.e. circulating endothelial and immune activation markers) that indicate progression to severe disease in patients with suspected COVID-19 in the Emergency Department. It is a prospective observational study of patients presenting to emergency departments with a clinical suspicion of COVID19. All participants will have plasma samples collected for biomarker analysis, and will be tested for SARS-CoV-2 infection with a nasopharyngeal swab. Participants will be managed according to the best local practices.
Preoperative antiseptic mouth rinses have been widely used as a standard protocol before routine dental treatment reduces oral microorganism counts. During dental procedures, aerosolized microorganisms contaminate the dental environment and nearby surfaces and remain suspended for 4 hours. Thus, the reduction in the number of aerosolized microorganisms by pre-procedural rinsing may reduce cross-contamination between dentists, office personnel, and patients. Recent reviews have advocated the use of preoperative rinsing to control and reduce the risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission. However, no clinical studies have been done yet to support the effectiveness of any pre-procedural oral rinses against SARS-CoV-2. The proposed study will mitigate the spread of COVID-19 disease in dental healthcare facilities and ensure the patients' good health and healthcare workers. The purpose of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy of four commercially available mouth rinses povidone-iodine (PVP-I), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) on the salivary SARS-CoV-2 viral load at four-time points (baseline and 5-, 30-, and 60-min post rinsing) relative to two control groups (distilled water and no-rinse) in a cohort of positive COVID-19 patients.
The purpose of this study is to describe the immunological and virological response of patients infected with CoV-2-SARS and presenting an asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic form, in particular the innate and adaptive response as well as the virological clearance kinetics. The research hypothesis is that patients with an ambulatory form of SARS-CoV-2 infection, whether asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic, are able to mount an innate and adaptive immunological response capable of rapidly clearing the virus, in contrast to severe forms in which an early deficit of type 1 IFN response has been demonstrated, possibly responsible for a defect in the control of viral replication in the blood.
The aim of this observational, cross-sectional study is to evaluate the impact of the second national COVID-19 lockdown in Greece, regarding the aspects of depression, anxiety and eating habits, in relation to the adjusted work and family conditions, among diabetes mellitus patients.
Modes of transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and specifically the proportion of airborne transmission in this infection is unknown. In the aeroCOVID study, a highly efficient bioaerosol and droplet sampling dummy is used to emulate a susceptible healthcare worker (HCW) and to perform patient proximity sampling. The dummy will measure the dummy-inhaled dose of SARS-CoV-2 in two particle size fractions in a standardized interaction with hospitalized coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. All measurements are performed in a masked and unmasked dummy setup in parallel, in order to gain further information on the protection of type II masks against the respective particle size exposure.
This study is designed to compare the performance of the NOWDx COVID-19 Test to an emergency use authorized PCR test result. The intent is to show the rapid test device is comparable to a currently marketed device. The NOWDx COVID-19 Test is an in vitro lateral flow immunoassay intended for qualitative detection of total antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 in human whole blood (venous and fingerstick).
This project aims to investigate the sensitivity and specificity of the rapid antigen test compared to RT-PCR test performed on samples from the nasopharynx and the anterior nasal cavity and the oropharynx, respectively.
The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a new coronavirus discovered in December 2019 in Wuhan, China and currently responsible of a worldwide outbreak and the death of more than 55,000 patients in France. The more severe form of COVID-19 disease induces a pneumonia with profound hypoxemia which may require invasive mechanical ventilation. It is estimated that 5% of COVID-19 patients are admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for management. Hospital mortality in patients who develop severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) ranges between 40% and 60%. The investigators purpose to investigate the pathological findings of COVID-19 patients who died from ARDS in the ICU by doing post-mortem lung biopsies
