Effectiveness and Safety of Rhea Health Tone® as add-on Therapy for COVID-19 in Hospitalized Adults...
Covid19This is a multicenter, randomized, open-label, controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Rhea Health Tone® as add-on therapy in hospitalized adults with COVID-19. The study is a multi-center trial that will be conducted in up to approximately 2 sites nationally. New sites may be added as needed after appropriate assessment. Interim monitoring will be conducted to evaluate the arms and for safety and effectiveness. Any change would be accompanied by updated sample size. Subjects will be assessed while hospitalized. All subjects will undergo a series of laboratory (inflammatory biomarkers (IL-6, hs-CRP, IFNγ), SGOT, SGPT and Creatinine, conversion rate by PCR, QTc prolongation by ECG, chest X-ray), clinical (clinical assessment, vital sign, concomitant medication, other medical conditions) and safety assessment (serious adverse event). Randomization will be performed 1:1 for each arm. Arm 1 = Standard of Care (SoC) alone, arm 2 = SoC + Rhea Health Tone®.

Covid19Objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of Taxifolin Aqua therapy on the indicators of respiratory function, the state of the arterial wall, the contractile function of the myocardium, as well as to assess the effect of Taxifolin Aqua therapy on markers of biological age, quality of patients life.
Low Dose Anti-inflammatory Radiotherapy for the Treatment of Pneumonia by COVID-19
PneumoniaViralLow radiation doses produce anti-inflammatory effects, which may be useful in the treatment of respiratory complications of COVID-19. This type of treatment is non-invasive and therefore, a priori, it can be used in all types of patients. Main objective: To evaluate the efficacy of low-dose lung irradiation as an adjunctive treatment in interstitial pneumonia in patients with COVID-19 by improving the PAFI O2 by 20% measured 48h after treatment with respect to the pre baseline measurement. -irradiation.
Social Media and Covid19 Pandemic
Social MediaCorona Virus InfectionAccording to the data of February 2020, in Turkey with a population of 83.9 million, internet and social media usage percentage to population are 74% and 64% respectively. Although previous researches have investigated the effect of social media on different medical situations, there is no study focused role of social media on patients' behavior and information source during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the present study, it is aimed to reveal the impact of social media on patients' attitudes and information sources during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Compare Immunological Efficacy of a Vaccine Regimen Combining Two Covid19 mRNA Vaccines (Pfizer-BioNTech...
Adult Who Received a First Dose of an mRNA Vaccine (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna) and Need to Receive a Second DoseAs part of the COVID 19 vaccine campaign, the two mRNA vaccines, BNT162b2 (COMIRNATY®) and mRNA-1273 COVID-19 vaccine Moderna, are administered in two doses in subjects without a history of SARS-CoV-2 infection . In accordance with the marketing authorization for vaccines, HAS recommends that subjects who have received one dose of an mRNA vaccine receive a second dose of the same vaccine with an interval between the 2 doses of 4 to 6 weeks. These two vaccines are based on very similar technologies but were developed independently. Given the similarities between these two vaccines, the choice between the two, for the moment, is based solely on the availability of doses and on logistical constraints. Since April 14, the interval between the two doses of the mRNA vaccines is 42 days. WHO has announced that in the absence of available data, vaccine interchangeability cannot be recommended. However, to facilitate the organization of the vaccination campaign and allow faster vaccination of the population, it would be desirable to be able to use either one or the other mRNA vaccine for the 2nd dose. In order to be able to recommend the interchangeability of the 2 mRNA vaccines, it is proposed to evaluate the immunogenicity of a scheme combining the two Covid 19 mRNA vaccines (i.e. a 2nd dose of vaccine with the Moderna vaccine after a first dose of the Pfizer vaccine or 2nd dose of Pfizer vaccine after a first dose of Moderna vaccine) compared to that of a standard vaccination schedule with two doses of the same Covid 19 mRNA vaccine.
Efficacy and Safety of Longan Extract Spray (P80 Spray) in Volunteers With Coronavirus Disease 2019...
Infection ViralThe objectives of this study are to evaluate efficacy and safety of longan extract spray (P80 spray) in volunteers with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID19).Patients who infected COVID 19 (positive COVID 19 RT-PCR from nasal swab) are enrolled in the study. They will be treated with standard treatment of COVID 19. In addition, the patients will received longan extract nasal spray (P80 spray) or placebo nasal spray for 3 days (6 times). After that, they will be nasal swabbed for detecting COVID 19 infection. Adverse event will also be evaluated by physician or nurse.

A Blended Gaming COVID-19 Training System (BGCTS) With WHO Guidelines for Staff in Residential Care...
Infection ControlCOVID-19188 healthcare personnel from 20 residential care homes (RCHs) will be recruited to assess the effect of 2-week implementation of Blended Gaming COVID-19 Training System (BGCTS) on RCH staffs' infection control practices. These clusters (RCHs) will be randomly allocated to two study groups (the intervention group, IG; and the control group, CG) to assess 1. whether more staff in the IG perform infection control practices (by on-site observations) than the staff in the CG after receiving BGCTS and 2. whether more staff in the IG have infection control knowledge, positive attitudes towards infection control, and self-reported compliance rates than the staff in the CG. 5 Hypothesis have been set up for this study: H1. After using BGCTS, a higher proportion of the staff in the IG will exhibit performance in complying with hand hygiene measures than those in the CG. H2. After using BGCTS, a higher proportion of the staff in the IG will exhibit performance in complying with other infection control practices than those in the CG. H3. After using BGCTS, a higher proportion of the staff in the IG will have high level of knowledge of infection control than those in the CG. H4. After using BGCTS, a higher proportion of the staff in the IG will have positive attitudes towards infection control than those in the CG. H5. After using BGCTS, a higher proportion of the staff in the IG will have a high self-reported compliance rate with infection control measures than those in the CG. Infection control practices conducted by RCH staffs will be measured through unobtrusive on-site non-participatory observations. RCH staffs' knowledge, attitudes about infection control practice, and self-reported infection control practices will be assessed via an electronic quiz.

Measurement of IL-6 and Secondary Inflammatory Markers Before and After Therapeutic Plasma Exchange...
COVID-19Given the current lack of an effective drug or therapy, a clinical trial to better understand the safety and efficacy of therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) in COVID-19 patients is urgently needed. The goal of this trial is to study the efficacy and safety of TPE therapy in subjects with moderate to severe COVID-19 by determining the morbidity and mortality after TPE therapy.
