Oral Isotretinoin and Covid-19 Infection
Isotretinoin Adverse ReactionCovid19There is a theoretical risk that the nasal mucosal dryness caused by oral retinoid medications may increase the risk of patients becoming infected with Covid-19. Isotretinoin is a drug used commonly in dermatology, usually for management of acne and occasionally for management of other dermatological diseases. The most common side effect of oral isotretinoin is mucocutaneous dryness, which can lead to nasal dryness and crusting. Isotretinoin is derived from vitamin A and produces this side effect by arresting the cell cycle of mucus secreting cells in the nasal cavity. The mucus usually secreted moisturises the nasal cavity and provides a protective, lubricating layer overlying the cilia. Cilia and nasal mucous are both believed to have roles in defence against infection and immunity. Hence it was postulated at the start of the pandemic that the effect this medication has on the nasal environment may increase the likelihood of contracting a disease spread by droplet or aerosol particles. In March 2020 we established a departmental Excel database of our patients on oral retinoid medications in order to track those currently receiving treatment. The database includes people taking isotretinoin, alitretinoin and acitretin. The greatest number of patients in this database are in the isotretinoin group and patients taking isotretinoin tend to be a relatively young and fit population. Acitretin on the other hand is often used in an older population who may have other underlying disease comorbidities. There were only a very small number of patients taking alitretinoin in the database. In order to limit confounding variables and provide as clear a result as possible, it was decided to limit this study to comparing the group of patients taking isotretinoin, aged 16-40years, with an age-matched background population from NHS Grampian. This study would examine the electronic patient record of patients aged 16-40years, taking isotretinoin between March and October 2020 and compare their rates of Covid-19 infection, hospitalisation and complications with the rates of the local age-matched background population. Persons taking isotretinoin in the time period would be excluded from the background population. As Covid-19 is a new disease, the existing research literature on this specific topic is extremely limited, and so far this study would be the first in this area.
The Outcomes of NRICM101 on SARS-COV-2 (COVID-19) Infection
SARS-CoV-2Covid 19Traditional Chinese medicine is regarded as a dietary supplement in many countries around the world. Dietary supplement, NRICM101, has been available for people who diagnosed, suspected or prevented for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in September 2020. It is expected to help people not to progress to severe illness, and reduce lung damage and mortality. The investigators gather the effects of people who taking NRICM101 using the Real-World Big Data Study and the network feedback information collection model. This study can be used as a reference for global prevention and control of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Posaconazole Prophylaxis for CAPA Prevention in Critically-Ill Patients
COVID-19 Respiratory InfectionAspergillosisCOVID-19 associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA) is considered a potentially life-threatening infection in critically ill COVID (Corona Virus disease)-19 patients. This study will investigate the efficacy of mold-active prophylaxis with posaconazole for patients with severe SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome)-CoV-2 infection admitted to the ICU (intensive care unit) in a multi-center case-control study in Europe.

Safety and Immune Response of COVID-19 Vaccination in Patients With HIV Infection
HIV InfectionsCovid19On 11 February 2020, the International Committee for the Classification of Viruses named the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection in humans as the new coronavirus pneumonia (coronavirus disease 2019, COVID-19). People infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are affected by their underlying diseases and are listed by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a high-risk population of SARS-CoV-2 infection.To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccine in those patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection , and to guide the COVID-19 vaccination more scientifically, reasonably and effectively, this study was carried out.
Immunogenicity Against SARS-CoV-2 in COVID-19 Close Contacts
Covid19Vaccine ReactionThis study will investigate the presence of SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody and its association with demographic information, medical history of SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals, exposure history of close contacts, vaccination status, and compliance with the strategies for self-quarantine to prevent the transmission in the community where SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals were home-quarantined and treated.
