Filter by:In an effort to implement Choosing Wisely guidelines and decrease patient harm, we will implement and evaluate a clinician audit-feedback and behavioral "nudge" initiative to reduce low-value antibiotics for URIs. Using a quasi-experiment (pre-post) design, antibiotic prescriptions for URI at LAC+USC Urgent Care Center (intervention site) vs. Olive View-UCLA Urgent Care Center (control site) will used to test the effects of behavioral "nudge" on antibiotic prescribing.
The aim of the study is to measure the effect of wheat polysaccharides on the occurence of common cold (CC) in elderly during a 12-week consumption period.
The purpose of this study is to assess the accuracy and ease-of-use of a simplified FilmArray Respiratory Panel test (FilmArray RP EZ) when performed according to the manufacturer's instructions by personnel in laboratories holding Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) waivers (or equivalent) on nasopharyngeal swab samples obtained from volunteers with signs and/or symptoms of a respiratory infection. The study data will be used to support an application to the FDA for CLIA-waived categorization of FilmArray RP EZ. It is hypothesized that the results of the FilmArray RP EZ test performed in a laboratory with CLIA waiver with be 95% accurate when compared to FilmArray RP testing performed in a lab with a moderate or high complexity CLIA certification.
The hypothesis was to establish whether the use of PrevinC administered nasally 2-3 times a day will prevent upper respiratory infections in otherwise healthy adults working in child day care centers.
To investigate the effect of milk-based formulas on infections and immune functions in healthy children.
The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of a hand-washing programme using hand sanitizer in the prevention of school absenteeism due to upper respiratory infections. Students in intervention classrooms used hand sanitizers at schools and a programme educational on hand hygiene. The investigators hypothesize that the use de hand sanitizers in elementary school will reduce absenteeism due to upper respiratory infections.
The purpose of the planned study is to investigate the effect of heat-treated lactobacilli on diarrhea outcome in healthy children 1-4 years old in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study.
This is an open label, in-use study to assess the warming sensation, acceptability and local tolerability of paracetamol 500 mg + pseudoephedrine 30 mg syrup, given as a single dose in subjects suffering from symptoms of an upper respiratory tract infection. The purpose is to evaluate the acceptability concerning a warming sensation effect and its potential benefit in the target population. The primary objective is to assess the warming sensation caused by the excipient IFF flavor 316 282, in a syrup containing paracetamol 500 mg + pseudoephedrine 30 mg per 30 ml syrup. The syrup contains (0.15% w/v) warming flavor. The Secondary Objectives are to assess subject acceptability of the syrup and the safety and tolerability of the syrup. The study will be run in fifty-six (56) subjects suffering from symptoms of an upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) for 7 days or less, e.g. nasal congestion associated with colds and flu symptoms such as pain, headache and/or fever. Subjects must have one or more symptoms per category: 1. mild to moderate body pain, headache, fever or sore throat 2. nasal congestion (blocked nose) with or without rhinorrhea (runny nose) or sneezing Adolescents will be included in the study population
This is an open label, in-use study to assess the warming sensation, acceptability and local tolerability of paracetamol 500 mg + phenylephrine 10mg + Guaifenesin 200 mg syrup, given as a single dose in subjects suffering from symptoms of an upper respiratory tract infection.

Subjects must have one or more symptoms per category: 1. mild to moderate body pain, headache, fever or sore throat 2. nasal congestion (blocked nose) with or without rhinorrhea (runny nose) or sneezing 3. productive cough Adolescents will be included in the study population
To describe respiratory and laryngeal responses to laryngeal stimulation during propofol anesthesia in children with upper airway infections. To determine whether the co-administration of remifentanil blunts these reflex responses. To test whether the co-administration of remifentanil results in a significant reduction of apnea with laryngospasm in these patients. Hypotheses: I: In children with a URI undergoing anesthesia with propofol, the incidence of apnea and laryngospasm after controlled stimulation is expected to occur 2.5 times more frequently than in children without URI (20 vs. 8%). II: The incidence of apnea and laryngospasm is diminished after administration of remifentanil.
