Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

This treatment protocol is designed to provide convalescent plasma as a therapeutic option for patients diagnosed with and hospitalized for COVID-19 with symptoms ranging from mild to life-threatening.

The COVID-19 pandemic of SARS CoV2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, COVID-19) infection, which is currently evolving in France, raises many questions about the clinical and biological profile of infected hospitalized patients. If certain biological factors like troponin, BNP (Brain Natriuretic Peptid), or clinical factors like cardiovascular history or oncological history are associated with a worse prognosis, available data comes from studies in Asia for the majority, or including a limited number of patients. Patient stratification remains a major issue for patient sorting and early referral of patients.

The current infection with the Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) is an exceptional health situation which requires an adaptation of our management practices in gynecological oncology. Data from the literature suggest that infection with Coronavirus is serious in subjects with cancer with a risk of severe form 5 times higher than that of the population without cancer and a risk of death multiplied by 8. In addition, the risk of infection would be 3 times greater in case of cancer. Faced with the COVID-19 epidemic, the investigator must organize themselves to ensure continuity in the treatment of patients with gynecological cancer but also adapt our practices in the management (CPR, teleconsultation, adaptation of treatment or even postponement of treatment). The objective of the High Council of Public Health is to be able to ensure adequate oncological care avoiding any potential loss of chance concerning the care of cancer: people affected must, despite the pandemic, have care allowing the same level of curability (localized cancers) or the same life expectancy (advanced cancers). This must be done by limiting as much as possible the impact on the organization of the service, the organization of patient follow-up and the psychological impact that these possible modifications could have. The hypotheses of our study are that the exceptional health situation linked to this pandemic leads to a change in the care of patients with gynecological cancer associated with a psychological impact and increased anxiety of patients during their care. Despite the extent of the pandemic, very little existing data makes it possible to define recommendations with a sufficient level of evidence.

The number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 infectious disease arising from the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus is rising substantially and rapidly, with the potential to overwhelm the ability of the entire National Health Service (NHS) to cope with the increased demand. The availability of personal protective equipment is limited and reports of high risk procedures such as aerosol generating procedures (e.g. intubation for the sickest patients) is a source of great concern for infection transmission. Frontline NHS staff with direct patient contact have the highest likelihood of exposure to SARS-CoV-2 and development of COVID-19 disease. Efforts to protect these workers from development of COVID-19, using drugs to prevent the disease, require urgent evaluation.

Loss of sense of smell and taste has been anecdotally reported during the covid-19 epidemic. The study investigators wanted to describe the prevalence of olfactory and gustatory dysfunction and assess the factors associated with positive SARS-CoV-2 infection.

The COVID-19 global pandemic has led to a major professional and social national reorganization: professional because it involves a redeployment of medical staff and material resources, and social because it imposes prolonged containment measures on an entire population. The maxillofacial trauma activity is mainly linked to sports or leisure accidents, fights and road accidents. It seems to appear since the beginning of containment measures a significant drop in maxillofacial trauma activity at the national level, which, if it is demonstrated in a significant way in several French hospital centers, would allow to redeploy the material and human resources related to this activity on sectors in tension due to the pandemic.

Compare the resting energy expenditure of COVID-19 patients (obese or non-obese) in intensive care unit with mechanical ventilation to a control group of non-COVID-19 intensive care patients.

Background: People who have had contact with a person with a known SARS-CoV-2 infection are being told to self-quarantine for 14 days. This is done to avoid potential virus spread. But the actual time it takes for a person to develop an infection after being exposed to the virus is not well known. The proper quarantine time could be less or more than 2 weeks. Researchers hope this study can be used to help improve public health guidelines for quarantines, social distancing, and returning to work after a possible SARS-CoV-2 exposure. Objective: To better understand how long it takes a person to develop (or not develop) an infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus after they have had contact with a person who has a confirmed infection. Eligibility: NIH staff members age 18 and older who had recent contact with a person who has a SARS-CoV-2 infection Design: Participants will have 3 study visits at the NIH Clinical Center. They may be asked to have an extra visit depending on the test results at the third visit. At each visit, participants will give a blood and saliva sample. It will be used to test for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. Their temperature will be taken. They will complete a short survey to collect data about possible COVID-19 symptoms. At the first visit only, they will also complete a survey that asks about their recent social contacts. Two types of nasal samples will be collected at each visit. These samples will be tested for the SARS-CoV-2 virus. a swab will be inserted deep into the back of the nose and a swab will be inserted to the middle of your nose. Participation lasts 3 to 4 weeks.

This study aimed to evaluate the anxiety and fear of infection between dentists working during the present corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and to explore dentist's knowledge about various practice modifications and guidelines to fight the novel corona virus

This study seeks to investigate the role of lung ultrasound in caring for Covid-19 positive patients and whether it can be used to predict patient deterioration. This information will be vital for healthcare workers who seek to identify Covid-19 pneumonia or patients at risk for deterioration early in the disease course.
