Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic and HRQOL in Cancer Patients and Survivors
COVID-19 InfectionMalignant Solid NeoplasmThis study uses questionnaires to gain an understanding of how experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, regardless of COVID-19 status, may have impacted health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and other areas such as COVID-19-specific psychological distress, disruptions to health care, finances and social interactions in cancer patients. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease that is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The information learned from this study will guide the development of psychosocial programs to improve patient care and outcomes in cancer patients and survivors in the context of facing a global pandemic.
The Clinical Significance of Gut Permeability in Gastrointestinal Post Acute COVID-19 Syndrome
Gastrointestinal Post Acute COVID-19 SyndromeSevere acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS- CoV-2) and the associated coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have been spreading all around the world for past 3 years. Some of these convalescent individuals experienced long- term sequelae termed 'long COVID', or 'post- acute COVID-19 syndrome'(PACS). Common manifestations are systemic, neuropsychiatric, cardio- respiratory and gastrointestinal [1]. The prevalence of gastrointestinal PACS was 2-5% in different literatures [2][3]. The risk factors of gastrointestinal PACS include anosmia, ageusia, and presence of chronic bowel disease, dyspeptic symptoms and the psychological comorbidity [4]. Previous articles have discussed pathogenesis of PACS, which was associated with increasing serum cytokine level and persisted inflammatory status [5]. Whereas, the influence of chronic inflammation to target organ has not been well studied. Liu et al explored the gut microbiota dynamics in patients with PACS, which revealed higher levels of Ruminococcus gnavus, Bacteroides vulgatus and lower levels of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii [6]. Another article established the association between multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) and zonulin-dependent loss of gut mucosal barrier [7]. According to previous studies, infectious enteritis may cause subsequent post infectious irritable bowel syndrome [8][9], which was associated with increased gut permeability, T-lymphocyte, Mast cell and proinflammatory cytokine [10][11]. It is reasonable that gastrointestinal PACS might be also associated with dysfunction of gut mucosal barrier. Confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) is a new endoscopic imaging tool that enables visualization of gut mucosa changes. The gut permeability could be accessed by CLE in patient with irritable bowel syndrome [12]. This study aimed to explore the association between gut permeability and gastrointestinal PACS.

SARS-CoV-2 InfectionCOVID-19The purpose of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of BNT162b RNA-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccine candidates in adults to prevent COVID-19. For all cohorts (groups of participants), this study is seeking participants who are healthy (who may have preexisting disease if it is stable); All participants will receive a single dose of the study vaccine at the first study clinic and will return to the study clinic at least 4 more times. At each clinic visit, a blood sample will be taken. The study is about 6 months long for each participant. The vaccine candidates in this study are investigational but are very similar to BNT162b2 (Comirnaty), a COVID-19 RNA vaccine approved for use in the US and in many countries. For Cohort 1, this study included participants who were: 18 through 55 years of age have received 1 booster dose of a US-authorized COVID-19 vaccine, with the last dose being 90 or more days before Visit 1 of this study. All participants in Cohort 1 will receive 1 of the 2 study vaccines at a 30 microgram dose: BNT162b5 Bivalent (WT/OMI BA.2) or BNT162b2 Bivalent (WT/OMI BA.1). For Cohort 2, this study included participants who were: 12 years of age and older have received 3 prior doses of 30 micrograms BNT162b2, with the last dose being 150 to 365 days before Visit 1 of this study. Participants 12 through 17 years of age will receive BNT162b2 Bivalent (WT/OMI BA.4/BA.5) 30 micrograms. Participants 18 years and older will receive BNT162b2 Bivalent (WT/OMI BA.4/BA.5) at either a 30 microgram or a 60 microgram dose. For Cohort 3, this study included participants who were: 18 years of age and older have received 3 prior doses of 30 micrograms BNT162b2, with the last dose being 150 to 365 days before Visit 1 of this study. Participants will receive BNT162b2 Bivalent (WT/OMI BA.4/BA.5) 30 micrograms. For Cohort 4, this study is seeking participants who are: 18 through 55 years of age have received 3 or 4 prior doses of a US-authorized mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (and dose level), with the last dose being a US-authorized BA.4/BA.5-adapted bivalent vaccine and dose level at least 150 days before Visit 1 of this study. All participants in Cohort 4 will receive 1 of the 5 study vaccines at a 30 microgram dose: BNT162b2 Bivalent (Original/ OMI BA.4/BA.5), BNT162b5 Bivalent (Original/OMI BA.4/BA.5), BNT162b6 Bivalent (Original/OMI BA.4/BA.5), BNT162b7 Bivalent (Original/OMI BA.4/BA.5) or BNT162b7 Monovalent (OMI BA.4/BA.5).
A Phase II/III Study of PIKA Recombinant SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine as a Booster Dose.
Covid-19 VaccineThis is a Phase II/III, randomized, double-blinded study in adults ≥ 18 years old who received 2 or more doses of inactivated COVID-19 vaccine to evaluate the efficacy, safety and immunogenicity of a booster dose of PIKA COVID-19 vaccine compared to the comparator inactivated COVID-19 vaccine. Phase II/III will be a competitive enrollment process in all participating countries. Once the target number of subjects is reached, the enrollment in all participating countries in the particular phase will be stopped.

Respiratory Muscles Electromyography in Patients With Covid-19
COVID-19 Respiratory InfectionThis research is characterized as a cross-sectional observational study, which follows the recommendations of the STROBE instrument. Therefore, it is being performed at the Intensive Care Unit of Hospital Otávio de Freitas (HOF) in Recife/PE, with patients over 18 years of age who have a clinical diagnosis of COVID-19, using two methods of oxygen therapy (Nasal Oxygen Catheter and mask without rebreathing). That through clinical assessments of the disease, degree of severity of COVID-19, perception of respiratory effort and electromyography of respiratory muscles. The hypothesis of this study is that the higher the level of muscle activation and fatigue, the greater the risk of intubation and length of stay in the ICU. The rationale for the study is that Surface Electromyography is a widely used resource to analyze and compare respiratory muscle responses and thus provide prior treatment. Identifying which muscles undergo changes in patients with COVID-19 is essential to analyze and understand the likely functional changes of the respiratory system in COVID-19 and how they reflect according to their level of respiratory support and disease severity.
