Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

Restrictions due to Covid-19 pandemic have brought negative social and psychological consequences on people and limited patients' access to hospital care. In this context, "telemedicine" and, specifically, "tele-nutrition" (in nutritional field) allows remotely monitor and support food allergic patients subjected to restricted diets using information and communication technologies. The investigators focus attention on patients with diagnosis of Systemic Nickel Allergic Syndrome (SNAS) undergoing low-nickel diet to evaluate nutritional and psychological states through tele-nutrition tools during COVID-19 pandemic. The aims of this study are: (a) to investigate dietary-nutritional status and, (b) to assess quality of life and adherence to dietary therapy before and after 30-day personalized diet therapy through tele-nutrition tools. Each subject enrolled in the study goes allergological work-up to assess diagnosis of SNAS and following procedures: (a) face-to-face visit (nutritional visit and quality of life evaluation) concluding with prescription of one of five personalized and balanced dietary plans different for calory intake, (b) video call visit for dietary evaluation and assessment of adherence to diet after 15 days, and (c) video call visit for dietary and quality of life evaluation and assessment of adherence to diet therapy after 30 days (end of study).

Background. The current coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has a great impact worldwide. Healthcare workers play an essential role and are one of the most exposed groups.Information about the psychosocial impact on healthcare workers is limited. Methods. 3109 healthcare workers completed a national, internet-based, cross-sectional 45-item survey between 9 and 19 April 2020. The objective is to assess the psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in Spanish healthcare workers. A Psychological Stress and Adaptation at work Score (PSAS) was defined combining four modified versions of validated psychological assessment tests (A) Healthcare Stressful Test, (B) Coping Strategies Inventory,(C) Font-Roja Questionnaire and (D) Trait Meta-Mood Scale.

There is little information about the clinical characteristics and risk factors of Covid-19 in Latin American countries considering the ethnic differences and the high prevalence of obesity and cardiometabolic diseases. The aim of the study was to evaluate the association between laboratory tests and the risk of complications in SARS-CoV-2 infection and to determine their mortality risk factors in a sample of the Mexican population. A retrospective cross-sectional study of the routinely collected data was performed in the Hospital Regional de Alta Especialidad de Ixtapaluca (HRAEI), State of Mexico. Adult patients (aged ≥18 years) with positive RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2 and oxygen support that were admitted between March 28 and May 5, 2020, were included

This cross-sectional study will allow to collect eating behaviours data during the COVID-19 confinement, some of them related to the Mediterranean Diet to better understand the eating behaviours of adult population during this novel and exceptional situation. Hypothesis: The eating habits of the population together with physical activity level will change during the COVID-19 outbreak confinement.

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted anesthesia care all over the world. There remains very little data on current practice patterns and patient outcomes, particularly in anesthetized children. This is a prospective observational, multi-center study to investigate airway management related outcomes in children undergoing anesthesia during this pandemic. The investigators will compare the incidence of complications (particularly hypoxemia) in patients with COVID-19 to those who are COVID-19 negative during airway management.

The intensive care unit occupies a particular place in our health care system. The urgency of the clinical situations, the proportion of deaths encountered, and the daily workload is likely to generate suffering among staff. The health crisis linked to SARS-COV-2 is unprecedented and has leads to the unprecedented mobilisation of care providers, particularly in the ICU. Faced with the massive and growing influx of patients, human, therapeutic and material resources are overwhelmed and the teams are faced with an unusually heavy workload in a context of extreme tension. These professionals are thus exposed to a risk of over-investment, in a context of acute and repetitive stress, over an indeterminate period of time combining workload, emotional intensity with specific ethical issues, simultaneously affecting the professional sphere but also the personal and family sphere (confinement, risk of contamination). Now more than ever, the mental health of caregivers is an important concern, as highlighted by the CCNE. Mental health is understood in the way in which the individual responds specifically to work-related suffering by developing individual and collective defensive strategies. Thus, the issue of mental health in the ICU cannot be considered without taking into account the strategies that professionals put in place to combat stress and to contribute or not to the construction and stabilization of the work collective (collaboration, support). Ethical and/or psychological support systems have been set up in most of the establishments involved in the care of Covid-19 patients. However, the adequacy of these systems relative to the needs of professionals during and after the crisis is not yet known. We hypothesize that the psychological and social repercussions of this pandemic as well as the individual and collective strategies deployed by ICU care providers to deal with it will evolve in view of the progression of the crisis but also of the various types of support, particularly psychological and/or ethical, available to them.

In late December 2019, a new coronavirus strain emerged causing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID19). Since then, COVID19 has become a global pandemic outbreak being declared a "public health emergency of international concern" by the International Health Regulations Emergency Committee of the WHO on January 30, 2020. Several emergency measures have been implemented in different countries such as lockdown, social distancing, and testing. The pandemic concerns to public worldwide but also to couples aiming to conceive through natural means or undergoing assisted reproductive technologies (ART). The American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) as well as European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) have recommend a precautionary approach and advise that all fertility patients considering or planning treatment, even if they do not meet the diagnostic criteria for COVID-19 infection, should avoid becoming pregnant at this time until more is known about the virus. Therefore, new cycles for infertility patients as well as non-medically urgent gamete preservation treatments, such as social egg freezing, have been suspended deferring embryo transfer in those patients with initiated cycles. In this moment, when reopening phases are being undertaken in most countries, the decision to resume the In vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment in a safe environment to the healthcare workers and patients is the biggest concern of the ART clinics. The present study aims to describe the percentage of COVID-19 condition (naïve, immune, and currently infected) in asymptomatic individuals from two different ART centres. For this purpose, the ART centres' personnel and patients will be tested for COVID-19 before resume the clinic daily routine just after the lockdown period.

This study aims to identify nursing students knowledge gaps, risk perceptions and adherence to COVID 19 preventive measures during written exam period and In addition due to the possibility of being infected with COVID-19 during exams this study will evaluate covid-19 symptoms rate during exam period and factors affecting its development .

To respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, investigators will be deploying community health workers, equipped with mobile technology, and accompanied by youth to visit households door to door to screen for symptoms of COVID-19, isolate, test, and manage suspected cases of COVID-19. The community health workers and youth will educate households about preventive measures including frequent handwashing and home management of mild cases. Simultaneously, investigators will work with nurses, doctors, and clinical officers, to test and treat more severe cases of COVID-19 in health facilities. Our goals are: to visit every household in Siaya county covering a population of close to 1 million, and to train and support health workers working in 32 health facilities with oxygen capacity in Siaya to reduce the morbidity and mortality related to COVID19 and other conditions.
