Active clinical trials for "Coronavirus Infections"

The purpose of this study is to Understand the natural history of Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) infection to better define the period of infectiousness and transmissibility and to establish biobanks of COVID-19 blood and mucosal samples.

The investigators aim to develop expert consensus statements on infection control management of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in intensive care units (ICU).

The Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is currently involving all parts of the world. Several risk factors for critical illness and death from the disease have been proposed. However, it is still unclear if the observed associations between different comorbidities and chronic medications and severe COVID-19 disease and mortality is different from associations between the same factors and other severe diseases requiring intensive care unit (ICU) -care. This is important since some of the observed risk factors are very common in the aged who, by age alone, are more prone to a more severe course of any disease. By combining several registries, this study will compare, on several comorbidities such as hypertension and diabetes , the first 2000 cases of COVID-19 patients receiving critical care in Sweden to a Swedish sepsis-cohort and a Swedish adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) -cohort.

To find out what adaptations have been made by Inflammatory bowel disease physicians and patients in relation to therapies in flaring IBD patients during severe acute respiratory syndrome 2-COV and what the impact of these is on IBD patients with no symptomatic COVID-19 and in suspected/confirmed COVID-19. Also whether there any IBD related factors impacting the outcome of patients with COVID-19 symptoms or COVID-19 disease

This observational study will describe lung ultrasound (LUS) findings over time in hospitalized patients with moderate to severe Covid-19 lung disease. Our primary aim is to investigate if lung ultrasound can identify and/or predict patients requiring mechanical ventilation. Another aim is to describe LUS findings associated with clinical findings and patient condition.

COVID-19 is an infection linked to a new coronavirus: SARS-CoV-2, which appeared in Wuhan in China at the end of 2019, and which has since spread around the world, responsible for a new major pandemic, which is upsetting the whole world. If severe respiratory disease is the form that constitutes the extreme gravity of the disease (mortality, with more than 170,000 deaths worldwide to date). However, there is a great heterogeneity of clinical forms with asymptomatic or symptomatic pauci forms, moderate forms, up to severe forms. Different symptoms may appear: fever, cough, asthenia, dyspnea, gastrointestinal forms, anosmia and / or ageusia, skin involvement, etc. Given the novelty of this infection, several questions remain: What are all the symptoms that can be contracted by a COVID-19 patient? Are there clinical forms not described? What is the evolutionary profile, the healing time of this disease in patients treated on an outpatient basis? What are the factors associated with a prolonged form of COVID-19 disease, including on an outpatient basis?

In this prospective observational study we aim to study the association of vitamin D deficiency with adverse clinical outcomes in patients infected with Coronavirus disease 2019

During the COVID-19 outbreak, it was necessary to remodel the healthcare offer for all categories of subjects in order to minimize unnecessary movements of people while maintaining an adequate level of assistance. This is also true for transgender people, who are periodically requested to come into the clinic for hormonal therapy monitoring and continuation. In our center telemedicine programs dedicated to users have been activated for the remote management of hormone therapy. We use a web-based survey to assess the impact of COVID-19 outbreak on trans-population health and to assess the specific needs of this population in this particular moment.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a novel infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). This syndrome has been associated with high mortality, estimated to be about 1.7% of all infected in the US, though in those who develop acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in the context of the infection, mortality rates appear to be much higher, perhaps up to 70%. To avoid transmission of the virus, patient isolation has become the standard of care, with many hospitals eliminating visitors of any type, and particularly eliminating visitation to patients infected with COVID-19. These necessary, but restrictive, measures add stress to the ICU and particularly to the family members who are not only left with fear, but also many unanswered questions. In contrast to the Society of Critical Care Guidelines (SCCM) which recommend family engagement in the ICU and recent data from this study team which suggests engaging families in end-of-life situations reduces symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in family members, family members are now unable to say good-bye and unable to provide support to their loved-one throughout the process of the patients' ICU stay. The study hypothesizes is that these restrictive visiting regulations will increase rates of Post-intensive care syndrome- family (PICS-F) which includes symptoms of PTSD, depression, and anxiety and aim to evaluate for factors that either exacerbate these symptoms or protect from them.

The study will analyze the prevalence of cardiac involvement of health care workers from the University Hospital of Salamanca (HUSA) who have overcome SARS-CoV-2 infection. Participants will undergo a clinical evaluation, electrocardiogram (EKG), cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and blood analysis including NT-proBNP, troponin, cellular and humoral immunity and genetics.
