Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

The project US3R is a general population survey that will measure the magnitude of utilised, postponed and foregone medical care in relation with other health care needs than coronavirus symptoms during the confinement period in Belgium. The study aims to describe the magnitude of unsatisfied health care needs for various types of care. It will also identify the reasons for these postponed and foregone care according to gender, health and socioeconomic status.

The purpose of this case series is to describe the characteristics, organ dysfunction and support and 2 week outcomes of critically ill patients with nCov infection.

Covid-19 infection was declared a global pandemic by WHO on March 11, 2020. GRP78 protein is known to be involved in the intrusion of numerous viruses. Our current study tries to provide some insight into the variation of GRP78 protein levels in patients with Covid-19(-) pneumonia, Covid-19(+) pneumonia, and CT negative Covid-19 infection in comparison to the normal population through a larger number of cases. 42 patients who have Covid-19(-) pneumonia; 72 patients who have Covid-19 infection (30 pneumonia,42 CT negative patients) and 30 patient who have no known diseases (control group) will be included in the study after the clinical and radiological evaluation. Serum GRP78 levels of the subjects will be measured through a commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Currently, there is no cure for COVID-19, except for supportive treatments. Quarantine for a defined period is the best option to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Physical activity has been shown to reduce the risk of serious community-acquired infections. However, it remains unanswered is whether physical activity has protective effects against SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 related mortality. This study aimed to examine the association of PA with the morbidity and mortality of COVID-19 infection in the entire South Korean population.

Hypothesis: The apelin/APJ system is involved in the protection of the lung affected by the COVID-19 by interacting with the SARS-coV-2 entry door: the Angiotensin I Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2) and the renin-angiotensin system (ras). Elevated systemic levels of apelins and ACE2 activity are associated to less critical forms of COVID-19 and characterized by less pulmonary hyperpermeability and inflammation. Goals: Main: In COVID-19+ patients, to establish the basic knowledge of 1) apelins and related systems (ras and degradation enzymes, of which ACE2) pheno-dynamic profile in bloodstream, 2) pulmonary hyperpermeability profile by biomarker's assessment i) comparison of SARS vs. lesser COVID-19 respiratory injury, and with non COVID-19 ARDS and non ARDS acute respiratory condition. Secondary: To set up links between basic and progressive clinical data (data collection system APEL-COVID).

This study generates robust, uniform clinical data across emerging COVID-19 strains to train ML/AI algorithms of the Sponsor's imPulse™ Una infrasound-to-ultrasound e-stethoscope for digital diagnostic feature synthesis of asymptomatic and symptomatic COVID-19 digital biosignatures for rapid and accurate adult and child mass screening.

Prospective, cross-sectional study evaluating the effect of commercially available mouthwashes on expelled/exhaled SARS-CoV-2 viral load using face mask sampling.

Pronation seems feasible and effective in improving blood oxygenation in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. Data are lacking on the effects of pronation on clinical outcome in this subset of patients.

Single-center study with a parallel group scheme, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, to evaluate whether the addition to the investigator's hospital standard therapy of two vials of Bioarginina® per day in subjects with SARS-CoV-2 is useful for treatment of this pathology.

This study explores the actual situation of communication during the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in the South Asia and Middle East region. The purpose is to assess the effect of the limited visitor policy during the COVID-19 pandemic, on the pattern of interaction of critically ill patients to their kin/ guardian and doctor-family members communication. Primary objective of this study are as follows: Explore the changes in communication pattern with limited contact during the COVID-19 pandemic. Assess the methods of informed consent in Intensive care units (ICUs) during the same period
