Filter by:Whether radical debridement is necessary for the treatment of thoracic and lumbar tuberculosis is still questionable. The objective of this prospective randomized study was to compare the outcomes of radical debridement versus no debridement under different surgical procedures for the treatment of thoracic and lumbar tuberculosis.
720 cases TB (Tuberculosis patients) participants、360 cases non-TB participants with lung disease and suspected TB patients who all meet the standard are divided into different groups through a randomized and blind method. Every subject inject intradermally ESAT6-CFP10 and TB-PPD (tuberculin purified protein derivative) in different arms of the same person by blind method. Specific gama-interferon (γ-IFN) detection is needed before the injection.Measure the induration and (or) redness of longitudinal diameter size and transverse diameter vernier caliper by vernier caliper after injection 24h, 48h and 72h. At the same time, we observe all kind of adverse events.
This is a case control observational study using Bronchial-alveolar lavage (BAL) as specimen for GeneXpert, a real time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test for detection of tuberculosis (TB). Patients suspicious of TB, who require bronchoscopy as part of the investigation procedures, will be recruited for this study over a period of 18 months. Clinical likelihood of TB will be systematically scored according to various clinical parameters. This will determine the pre-test probability. Clinician will decide if anti-TB treatment is to be started and patients will be followed up for a minimal of 18 months. Sensitivity, specificity, positive, negative predictive values and the respective likelihood ratio will be calculated accordingly.
Randomized controlled trial (RCT) of isoniazid (INH) vs. no INH to prevent Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in HIV-exposed uninfected (HEU) infants.
Drug-resistant tuberculosis is becoming a major problem for the whole humanity, and development of new Anti-TB drugs is of great importance. Since Kazakhstan is a country with the high burden of tuberculosis, the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan has founded initiative on the development of new Anti-TB drug to treat drug-resistant forms of this infectious disease. JSC "Scientific Center for Anti-infectious Drugs" has developed original drug FS-1 for the treatment of multidrug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the bactericidal activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis of celecoxib in combination with established drugs used to treat tuberculosis (TB). Pharmacokinetics (PK) and whole blood bactericidal activity (WBA) will be measured in healthy volunteers following administration of the study drugs alone and in combination.
Multi-center, observational, prospective cohort study including patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis at different sites in Germany. The aim the study is the identification of biomarkers for therapy response.
The overall goal of the IQ-MAPLE project is to improve the quality of care provided to patients with several heart, lung and blood conditions by facilitating more accurate and complete problem list documentation. In the first aim, the investigators will design and validate a series of problem inference algorithms, using rule-based techniques on structured data in the electronic health record (EHR) and natural language processing on unstructured data. Both of these techniques will yield candidate problems that the patient is likely to have, and the results will be integrated. In Aim 2, the investigators will design clinical decision support interventions in the EHRs of the four study sites to alert physicians when a candidate problem is detected that is missing from the patient's problem list - the clinician will then be able to accept the alert and add the problem, override the alert, or ignore it entirely. In Aim 3, the investigators will conduct a randomized trial and evaluate the effect of the problem list alert on three endpoints: alert acceptance, problem list addition rate and clinical quality.
TB PRACTECAL is a multi-centre, open label, multi-arm, randomised, controlled, phase II-III trial; evaluating short treatment regimens containing bedaquiline and pretomanid in combination with existing and re-purposed anti-TB drugs for the treatment of biologically confirmed pulmonary multi drug-resistant TB (MDR-TB).
This study evaluated the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of the anti-tuberculosis (TB) drugs bedaquiline (BDQ) and delamanid (DLM), alone and in combination, among participants (with or without HIV co-infection) taking multidrug treatment for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) or rifampin-monoresistant TB (RR-TB).
