Filter by:The recent SARS-CoV2 pandemic has highlighted that the transmission of the virus within health care facilities plays a fundamental role in its propagation and, therefore, in the increase in COVID-19 cases registered among patients and healthcare workers. This study, original for the current lack of data on nosocomial transmission mechanisms compared to what happens in the community, proposes to conduct a study in patients, health workers and people in real-life setting. The study will be monocentric and performed at the San Raffaele Pisana Institute in Rome, that is able to guarantee the necessary number and the right case-mix that will allow to evaluate any possible correlations between infection and pre-existing disease.
COVID-19 survivors commonly exhibit a marked extra-respiratory complication affecting the cardiac (arrhythmias and myocardial injury), renal (acute kidney injury), gastrointestinal, nervous (neuropathy, encephalopathy), endocrine and musculoskeletal (weakness, pain, and fatigue) systems. In this context, several studies have found that resistance training intervention promotes important health-related benefits, including cardiac function, compared to aerobic exercise training. Other exercise adaptations include increased skeletal muscle metabolism function, yet physio/psychological adaptations are known to be limited in COVID-19 survivors. Hence, given that resistance training intervention is implemented in a manner that is tolerable to the individual patient, it may be a potential beneficiary "personalized" rehabilitation treatment for patients with COVID-19 syndrome ambulatory. The "EXER-COVID Clinical Study" project aims at determining the role of personalized exercise intervention in the treatment of post-COVID-19 syndrome ambulatory patients.
Emergency call centers are very solicited in epidemic situations. It is necessary to detect early Predictive Criteria of Severity in COVID respiratory infection to identify patients at risk of complication or aggravation from an emergency call center in order to adapt their orientation and their medical management.
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) epidemic represents a major therapeutic challenge. The highly contagious severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) and the long duration of the disease have led to a massive influx of patients admitted in health services and intensive care units. To current knowledge, there is no treatment yet that that can prevent infection from SARS-COV-2 virus, nor the disease progression to a severe form. Daily active smokers are rare among outpatients or hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Several arguments suggest that nicotine could be responsible for this protective effect thank to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). Based on epidemiological data and experimental data from scientific literature, we hypothesize that nicotine could inhibit the penetration and spread of the virus and improve the management of COVID19 , particularly in hospitalized patients to prevent adverse outcomes (death, transfer to intensive care unit, care limitation, mechanical ventilation an high flow oxygen).
The aim is to measure anxiety level and burnout frequency of healthcare workers including attending physicians, residents and nurses working at intensive care unit during COVID-19 pandemic. The study protocol had consisted of three parts. The first part was related to demographic details including age, sex, marital status, working position, past medical history. The second part of the survey was validated Turkish form of Beck anxiety inventory (BAI) It has 21 questions. Every question is a somatic symptom of anxiety. Participants scored them regarding how this symptom bothered them past week. Items have four possible answers: not at all (0 point), mildly (1 point), moderate (2 point), severe (3 point). Total anxiety score can be between 0 and 63. Participants were categorized as no or mild anxiety if the total beck anxiety score was between 0-16, and moderate to severe anxiety if it was more than 16 The last part of the survey was validated Turkish form of Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) to evaluate components of BOS
This clinical trial will enroll participants that have pneumonia caused by the COVID-19 virus. During the study patients will receive 7 to up to 14 days of defibrotide. After completing the treatment, participants will have 30 day follow-up check-up to assess for adverse events and clinical status. This final assessment can be done virtually, by telephone or electronically (email) if the patient cannot be contacted by phone. No in-person visit is required. The hypothesis of this trial is that defibrotide therapy given to patients with severe SARS-CoV2 ARDS will be safe and associated with improved overall survival, within 28 days of therapy initiation.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether LY3819253 given alone and with LY3832479 prevent severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and coronavirus disease - 2019 (COVID-19). Facility staff and residents in contracted skilled nursing and assisted living facility networks with a high risk of SARS-CoV-2 exposure will receive LY3819253, LY3819253 and LY3832479, or placebo via an injection into a vein. Samples will be taken from the nose. Blood samples will be drawn. Participation could last up to 25 weeks and may include up to 19 visits.
A prospective cohort minimal risk study to determine the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on outcomes of neurologically injured ICU patients.
This study is being conducted to look at the safety and immune response (how the immune system of the human body reacts) to a vaccine for SARS-CoV-2 (the virus responsible for COVID-19 infection) when administered as an intramuscular injection (an injection directly into the muscle) to the upper arm of healthy participants, on two occasions at least 28 days apart.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if a postural recruitment maneuver (PRM) improves the aeration and distribution of lung ventilation in patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) caused by COVID-19 infection; without the need to reach high airway pressures as in the standard lung recruitment maneuver and / or place the patient in prone position. This strategy could be particularly useful in the context of a major health emergency in centers with limited resources.
