Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

Epidemiological data have related particulate matter (PM), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and ozone (O3) to COVID-19 morbidity and mortality at the population level. Air pollution may be related to an increase in the COVID-19 severity and lethality through its impact on chronic diseases such as cardiovascular and respiratory diseases and diabetes that are also the main comorbidities associated with COVID-19. Epidemiological studies using individual data are needed to provide more precise estimate of the association between air pollution exposure and COVID-19. In this multicenter prospective study, the investigators will analyze the number of deaths in COVID-19 confirmed cases in geriatric patients according to long-term exposure to air pollution, taking into account confounders such as diabetes, hypertension, age, and BMI. Exposure to air pollution will be estimated as the mean concentration of air pollutants at the residential address during the previous two years. In addition, the investigators will explore the relationship between short-term variations in air pollutants, relative humidity, temperature, UV radiations, pollen and the occurrence of COVID-19.

This study will evaluate the diagnostic reliability of the Biosynex rapid blood test for Covid-19 infection.

In the literature, there are no studies evaluating COVID-19 phobia, quality of life, health anxiety, physical activity level and quality of sleep in patients with bronchiectasis during COVID-19 pandemic. The investigators will evaluate these parameters in patients with bronchiectasis and compare the findings of healthy individuals during COVID-19 pandemic

Patients affected by new coronavirus infectious disease (COVID) were mostly hospitalized in ICU. This infection seems to cause widespread organ injury (i.e acute renal injury, neurological disorders, pulmonary embolism,…). It is therefore necessary to provide a framework for the follow up of patients. Moreover SARS-CoV-2 infection consequences remain unknow at this time. Study hypothesis is that COVID alters determining factors (physical or psychological) of quality of life after ICU hospitalisation. The aim of the study is to assess quality of life 3 months after ICU hospitalization. Secondary purposes of the study are 1) assessment of quality of life 6 months and the evolution between the third and the sixth months after ICU hospitalization 2) description patients care after 3 and 6 months ICU left and their clinical status 3) convening and providing a "platform" within several physicians (neurologist, biologist, pneumologist…) will be able to follow up patients and perform complementary investigations according to patients injuries.

Through history, there have been plenty of pandemics however; the social response to corona virus disease (COVID-19) is unparalleled. It is assessed that almost four billion individuals are living in social segregation during this mother of all pandemics. Initially described in China in December 2019, severe acute respiratory syndrome caused by corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has spread all over the world and by 18th July 2020- there was an emergent figure of 13,824,739 confirmed cases and 591.666 losses reported to the WHO. To date, Egypt reported slightly over 82,000 confirmed COVID-19 cases with 3858 deaths. The new pandemic is injuring not only health organizations of several countries but also the financial prudence universal. Defining the clinical features and associated outcomes of patients diagnosed with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is fundamental to improving our understanding and adequate management of this illness. Several articles have recently been published, describing the clinical features and outcomes of retrospective individuals with COVID-19

We have herein analysed the patients admitted to our Department that underwent serologic tests for SARS-CoV-2 either by Ab or RT PCR, to estimate the prevalence of COVID-19 in the setting of a non-dedicated COVID-19 hospital and in a low CoV-2 incidence area, and to evaluate if security measures are necessary for this context.

Emergency general surgical care during the COVID-19 pandemic presents a unique set of considerations and challenges. Patients presenting with acute surgical conditions and concomitant COVID-19 infection have higher risk of mortality and morbidity. The investigators present their experience with COVID-19 positive patients presenting with acute surgical conditions and reviewed the implementation of a protocolized pathway to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 infection.

SARS-COV 2 infection might be responsible for sever pneumonia. Obesity seems to be a risk factor for severe SARS-COV 2 pneumonia. Lipid metabolism alteration are described with both obesity and sepsis. The aim of the present study was to describe association between lipid metabolism, obesity, sepsis inflammation and clinical outcome in COVID-19 patient with severe pneumonia compared with severe pneumonia caused by other pathogenes.

Study of COVID-19 seroprevalence in precarious population living in shelters of Samusocial de Paris and in staff working in these centers during COVID-19 epidemic.

Our study has the objective of identifying the epidemiological profil of the patients, as well as, the clinical, radiological and prognosis of obese patients with covid 19.
