Filter by:Interferon lambda is one of the main arms of the innate antiviral immune response and is critical for controlling respiratory viral infections in mice. Interferon lambda has a better side effect profile than other interferons because of the limited tissue distribution of its receptor. Peginterferon lambda is a long-acting form that has been studied extensively in human trials in viral hepatitis, confirming its safety. We propose to evaluate peginterferon-lambda in ambulatory and hospitalized patients with mild to moderate COVID-19.
In the context of quarantine with COVID-19, we will study the experience and psychological impact of pain in adult patients living with chronic pain. We will evaluate the link between the question of physical and psychological confinement in the experience of pain in this particular situation
In the context of quarantine with COVID-19, we wish to study the experience and psychological impact in adult patients living with osteoporosis.
Clinical data about psychological impact of quarantine are well studied in transient event or more prolonged situation like jail incarceration. In recent metaanalysis, psychological impact of quarantine was well documented in a specific population during first SARS epidemy. Even after the end of quarantine several patients were still with symptom of avoiding mainly agoraphobia, frequent hand washing and a carefull return to normal life COVID-19 infection is already associated with psychological symptom like anxiety, depression, sleep disorders and symptoms of acute stress However psychological impact of quarantine is on none in chronic painful inflammatory rheumatism in France. The prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis is 0.5% of the population with frequent comorbidity such as anxiety and depression. During the quarantine secondary to COVID-19 pandemic it's possible to evaluated the psychological impact of adult RA patients. The present study is an "emergency" being realize before the end of the quarantine.
In the present context, it seems necessary to try to describe as precisely as possible the physiological alterations due to COVID-19. From these observations, therapeutic proposals adapted to this new disease may then be developed, particularly in the symptomatic management of the critically ill patient. It therefore seems essential to rigorously study these modifications, as they have been studied in the past for ARDS. The aim of this non-interventional study is to describe precisely the respiratory and hemodynamic changes induced by COVID-19 in mechanically ventilated patients .
To evaluate the effectiveness of Nigella Sativa and honey stirred in 250 ml of distilled water 12 hourly till patient becomes asymptomatic or a maximum of 14 days with standard hospital care versus standard hospital care alone with placebo capsule and 250 ml water, in clearing the COVID-19 nucleic acid from throat and nasal swab, lowering disease detrimental effects on HRCT chest/X-ray and severity of symptoms along with duration of hospital stay till day 14th day of follow up and 30 days mortality (primary outcomes).
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of oral favipiravir plus standard of care treatment (SOC) compared with placebo plus SOC in reducing the duration of shedding of SARS-CoV2 virus in patients with mild or asymptomatic COVID-19.
Background: Oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD) is a common complication in/post ICU patients that have been with intubation/mechanical ventilation or with tracheotomies or NG tubes, in patients with acute respiratory infection/pneumonia/respiratory insufficiency with a severe disease needing high concentration of oxygen or noninvasive mechanical ventilation and also in patients discharged from acute hospitals to rehabilitation centers, nursing homes or other facilities. All these situations are common for COVID-19 patients that are currently filling our hospitals due to the pandemic expansion of SARS-CoV-2. OD is associated to prolonged hospitalization, dehydration and severe nutritional and respiratory complications -aspiration pneumonia-, hospital readmissions and mortality. Aim: to assess the prevalence of OD and nutritional risk in these patients and to know their needs of compensatory treatment following the application of an early intervention, and to assess whether OD and malnutrition are indicators of poor prognosis for COVID-19 patients. Methods: prospective study in which we will use the volume-viscosity swallowing test (V-VST) to assess the prevalence of OD, and NRS2002 to assess the nutritional risk in admitted patients with confirmed COVID-19 at the Consorci Sanitari del Maresme, Catalonia, Spain. We will register also results of the EAT-10, nutritional status, the needs of compensatory treatments of these patients following an early intervention with fluid and nutritional adaptation and use of nutritional supplements. We will also collect other clinical variables from medical history of the patient related to hospitalization and we will follow the clinical complications and nutritional status at 3 and 6 months follow up.
***At this time, we are only enrolling at Houston Methodist Hospital (HMH)/Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) and are not shipping cells outside of BCM/HMH.*** This is a study for patients who have respiratory infection caused by SARS-CoV-2 that have not gotten better. Because there is no standard treatment for this infection, patients are being asked to volunteer for a gene transfer research study using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Stem cells are cells that do not yet have a specific function in the body. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a type of stem cell that can be grown from bone marrow (the spongy tissue inside of bones). Stem cells can develop into other types of more mature (specific) cells, such as blood and muscle cells. The purpose of this study is to see if MSCs versus controls can help to treat respiratory infections caused by SARS-CoV-2.
To date, in France, in the context of the SARS Cov2 pandemic,both the number of affected subjects and the number of severe forms requiring hospital care are increasing. Several nosocomial transmission clusters have already been identified in hospitals (both pediatric and adult) but there is still limited data on the nosocomial spread of SARS-Cov2. This nosocomial transmission affects both patients and caregivers. It is important to understand the spread of the virus within the hospital. This will help to optimize procedures to prevent transmission to caregivers and hospitalizedpatients not infected with SARS Cov2, and more generally this will contribute to control the spread of SARS Cov2 in the community
