Community-engaged Optimization of COVID-19 Rapid Evaluation And TEsting Experiences
COVID-19COVID-19 PandemicThroughout the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, rates of COVID-19 have been persistently high in San Diego County's central and southern communities near the United States/Mexico border. These regions predominantly house Latino residents, the ethnic minority community most impacted by COVID-19 in San Diego. In the Phase I project, University of California, San Diego (UCSD) partnered with San Ysidro Health (SYH) and the Global Action Research Center, to co-create and demonstrate the impact of a COVID-19 testing program in San Ysidro, one of the most impacted areas from COVID-19 in San Diego County. To date, the project tested >10,000 community members (92% Latino) and received requests to scale-out the testing program to additional primary care clinic sites. In this Phase III project, Community-engaged Optimization of COVID-19 Rapid Evaluation And TEsting Experiences (CO-CREATE-Ex) will extend work with the Phase I community and clinical partners to refine, specify, implement, and evaluate an implementation strategy bundle that optimizes COVID-19 testing, expanding beyond current polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing to FDA-authorized COVID-19 rapid antigen testing.
Effect of Natural Food on Gut Microbiome and Phospholipid Spectrum of Immune Cells in COVID-19 Patients...
COVID-19The efficacy of natural foods such as freeze-dried mare's milk (Saumal) in post-COVID syndrome therapy has not been studied. The literature review has shown that researchers have focused more on evidence-based medications and less on natural products. Some raw foods, such as freeze-dried mare's milk, contribute to forming complete immune complexes and have antioxidant, membrane stabilizing, and antiviral effects. The use of Saumal proved its effectiveness in patients suffering from chronic hepatitis C. After 4 weeks of using freeze-dried mare's milk, the biodiversity of the intestinal microbiome was increased. The content of bacteria secreting short-chain fatty acids also increased. The study aims to confirm these effects at the gene level in patients who underwent COVID-19. This study will allow us to develop a highly evidence-based component of rehabilitation therapy in patients after COVID-19.
The Immunogenicity and Safety Following a Heterologous Booster Dose of Recombinant SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine...
COVID-19Vaccine ReactionThe goal of this clinical trial is to assess the immunogenicity and safety following a heterologous booster dose of recombinant SARS-CoV-2 vaccine (CHO cell) LYB001 in adults 18-59 years of age completed two- or three-dose inactivated COVID-19 vaccine. The main questions it aims to answer are: whether LYB001 group is better on immunogenicity than the control group of inactivated vaccine? whether LYB001 group has better performance on safety than the control group of inactivated vaccine, such as the lower adverse reaction rate?

COVID-19This study investigates the impact of the maternal COVID infection during birth on the children's development: physical and mental outcomes. We would like to differentiate the effect from the viral infection and effect of the pandemic period, too.
A Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, and Immunogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 Variant (COVID-19) mRNA...
COVID-19A Phase 1 study to evaluate safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 variant mRNA vaccines which are used to prevent COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection. this study is conducted during Indonesian subjects aged 18 years and older who have not received SARS-CoV-2 vaccines.
Immune Responses to COVID-19 Infection or Vaccination
COVID-19The overall purpose of this observational cohort study is to characterize COVID-specific immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 exposure or COVID vaccination in a real-world setting. Participants will be asked to provide blood samples (either a normal venous blood draw, a few drops of blood obtained with a small finger-stick device, or both), as well as saliva or nasal swab sample at a series of visits. Subjects will receive results of the testing that is approved for routine clinical use (i.e., their AditxtScore), while residual samples from each visit will be stored for future testing. These efforts will support ongoing AditxtScore test development and enhance the effectiveness of its interpretation - aiding efforts to maximize benefits of clinical laboratory testing in the pandemic response.
Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program With Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy in Patients With Post-covid...
COVID-19Coronavirus 2019 disease can cause important sequelae in the patient, being one of the main affectations of the respiratory system due to bilateral pneumonia and frequently presenting loss of strength, dyspnea, polyneuropathies and multi-organ involvement. Respiratory muscle dysfunction It is one of the most frequent sequelae of this disease. The aim of this study it to assess the effect of pulmonary rehabilitation program (PRP) for 8 weeks vs PRP supplemented with pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEFT) vs control group (CG) with health education in people with sequelae of COVID-19 on respiratory capacity and clinical response.
LOng COvid COmorbidities: Andrological, Reproductive, Sexual Dysfunctions in Patients Recovered...
Long Covid-19Considering the compelling amount of studies focused on patients in the active phase of COVID-19 disease and the scarcity of studies focused on patient cured from disease aimed at evaluating the sequelae of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, the purpose of the study is to investigate, in patients recovered from COVID-19 disease: 1) whether SARS-CoV-2 infection has induced in male patients, a primary (testicular) and / or secondary (pituitary) damage to the hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular hormonal axis, structural and / or functional damage to the testis and penis, sexual dysfunction or fertility disorders; 2) the prevalence in male and female patients of chemosensory symptoms (olfactory dysfunction) and assess whether there is a correlation between the prevalence, severity, duration and eventual persistence of olfactory dysfunction and the severity of COVID-19 disease. Patients will be evaluated at baseline (at discharge from infectious and/or pneumology unit) and after 3- 12 months. A better definition of the prevalence and type of sequelae after recovery from COVID-19 disease could significantly improve the therapeutic management and long-term follow-up of these patients, with a relevant impact in terms of health resources and public health.
Crowdsourcing an Open COVID-19 Imaging Repository for AI Research
COVID-19The objectives of this project are to (1) assemble a crowdsourced, de-identified radiographic repository; and (2) train and validate existing COVID-NET deep learning diagnostic models.
Comparative Study of Patterns of Immune Response to COVID 19 Vaccination
Immune Response to Covid 19 VaccinationAn effective vaccine stands as the most effective way for controlling the COVID 19 pandemic , yet, immunogenic vaccine efficacy needs to be extensively studied . T cell responses against the structural proteins have been found to be the most immunogenic in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of convalescent SARS-CoV1 patients which needs to be tested in SARS -COV2 vaccine efficacy studies alongside with the sustainability of humoral and cellular immune responses . Clinically , immunocompromised patients face drastic outcome of infections , which led the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) - USA -and the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) -UK- recommend COVID-19 vaccination of immunocompromised , the WHO Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization (SAGE), recommended that the three vaccines(Pfizer ,Moderna and Astra Zeneca) can be used for individuals with high-risk comorbidities . Nevertheless, there is an unmet research need concerning the immune response towards COVID 19 vaccination in this population . Based on the previous work of our team in designing B and T cell epitopes distributed over the S protein , we will study the immune response in the available vaccines in Egypt.
