Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

The federal government of Malaysia implemented a nationwide Movement Control Order (MCO) to control the COVID-19 outbreak. The MCO, however, has been found to have a negative impact on people's mental wellbeing. Interventions that can improve mental health under restricted movement condition is urgently. The present study investigated the impact of a brief, online mindfulness-based intervention on mental health using two-arm randomized controlled trial design. A total of 161 participants self-reported their feeling, anxiety, psychological insecurity, and well-being at baseline (T1) and post-test (T2), while 61 of them answered the same set of measures and the fear of COVID-19 scale in a follow-up study two weeks later (T3).

Spread of COVID-19 in the world has led to a shift in teaching and learning techniques to online methods in order to prevent transmission of the disease. Misr International University (MIU) has an established online learning system that has been used together with face-to-face classes. The aim of this study is to assess and compare the satisfaction and perceptions of full-time teaching staff and undergraduate students regarding online learning during COVID-19 crisis.

Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic has become a global health problem in a short time due to high infection rate and increasing mortality. Since it is not possible to perform thorax computed tomography (CT) and transfer of patients with COVID-19 pneumonia who are followed up in intensive care, diagnosis and follow-up by lung ultrasound (LUS) is a great advantage nowadays.The investigators aimed to evaluate the correlation between thoracic CT score and LUS score and to determine its relationship with mortality. Patients who were admitted to intensive care with the diagnosis of COVID-19 pneumonia, who had an initial thorax CT examination and who underwent LUS during admission to the intensive care unit were included in the study. The demographic characteristics, clinical parameters, prognosis, thorax CT and LUS scores of the patients were recorded prospectively. The characteristics of the survived patients and the patients who died were compared.

A trial of EC-18 in patients with mild/moderate pneumonia due to COVID-19

This study is a multi-center randomized, controlled, and blinded clinical trial study that will be performed in four medical-educational centers. In this study, the samples will be selected from among patients with SARS-CoV-2 as easy access and based on entry criteria and will be randomly divided into two groups, including a control group and an intervention group. The study will be conducted in four medical centers. From each center, 56 definitive Corona patients will be selected, who will be randomly divided into two groups of 28, for a total of 224 patients will enter the study. In the intervention group, in addition to receiving the test spray, Patients will also receive standard treatment

According to epidemiological models, the seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in Île-de-France as of 11 May was between 10 and 15%. Preliminary data on the number of professionals evicted from nurseries on suspicion of COVID-19 (on clinical grounds) seem to be of the same order of magnitude, but need to be confirmed by a biological technique. Children would be susceptible to infection but often asymptomatic.

Cases of chilblains have been reported with an unusual frequency in France in the context of the COronaVirus Infectious Disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic. Some of these cases have been linked to a virological status in favour of a recent Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome CoronaVirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Chilblains are acral inflammatory lesion typically reactive to cold (primary form). There are secondary forms acquired during autoimmune connectivitis such as lupus chilblain or hereditary forms related to type I Interferonopathy. An interferon type I signature has been described in these secondary forms of frostbite but also during the cytokine storm of severe forms of CoV-2 SARS infection. If cases of frostbite are indeed secondary to an SARS-CoV-2 infection, comparative analysis of their immunopathological profiles could provide a better understanding of the inflammatory mechanisms during COVID-19.

The main manifestation of COVID-19 is acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF). In patients with AHRF, the need for invasive mechanical ventilation is associated with high mortality. Two hypotheses will be tested in this study. The first hypothesis is the benefit of corticosteroid therapy on severe COVID-19 infection admitted in ICU in terms of survival. The second hypothesis is that, in the subset of patients free of mechanical ventilation at admission, either Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) or High-Flow Nasal Oxygen (HFNO) allows to reduce intubation rate safely during COVID-19 related acute hypoxemic respiratory failure.

COVID-19 is a respiratory disease caused by the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and causes considerable morbidity and mortality. Currently, there is no vaccine or therapeutic agent to prevent and treat a SARS-CoV-2 infection. This clinical trial is designed to evaluate the use of Tocilizumab in combination with hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin for the treatment of hospitalized adult patients with COVID-19.
