Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

COVID-19, which emerged in China in December 2019, has become a pandemic with its spread to many countries of the world. The aim of this multi-centered study is to guide for the approach, organization, diagnosis and treatment of the patients admitted due to trauma to emergency department during the pandemic period.

This project is based in the implementation of a combined monitoring system (technological solutions and medical visits) in survivors of the critical illness due to the infectious disease by COVID-19. The main objective of the project is to characterize the Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) and detect early needs for specific treatment.

The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted healthcare workers physically and psychologically. The aim of this study is to examine whether there is a change in menstrual cycle characteristics during pandemia. The aim of this study is to investigate whether there is an association between covid infection and menstrual cycle changes.

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.

SARS-CoV2 or CoVid19 disease is a newly described pathology linked to a subtype of the coronavirus family identified in China in December 2019. This pathology can present multiple clinical facets, ranging from asymptomatic forms to more commonly critical pulmonary forms called "Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome". The elderly population is more at risk for this infection due to the senescence of the immune system, co-morbidities and poly medications. They also often present a greater state of fragility. This study aims to report the epidemiology of the first 50 patients over 90 years of age hospitalized within the CHU Brugmann hospital.

COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by the last coronavirus discovered, called SARS-CoV-2. Symptoms encountered in COVID-19 are: cough, breathing difficulties (dyspnea, chest pain, etc.), pyrexia, anosmia (loss of smell) and/or dysgeusia (loss of taste), but also ENT symptoms (rhinitis type, odynophagia), headaches, asthenia, muscle pain, confusion and diarrhea. Infection with SARS-CoV-2 can also be asymptomatic. COVID-19 can be passed from person to person by respiratory droplets expelled when a person speaks, coughs or sneezes. The currently estimated incubation period ranges from 1 to 14 days, and most often this is around 5 days. According to a literature review, there is strong evidence that COVID-19 has an impact on mental health (anxiety being the most common symptom) whether in the general population, healthcare workers or vulnerable populations. The objective of this project is to assess mental health and sleep disorders within two populations: elderly patients and nursing staff.

To assess the prognostic performance of the RALE score with respect to duration of ventilation, and to describe changes in the RALE score over time.

Aim of this study is to evaluate whether COVID-19 vaccination induces a persistent cellular immune response. To this aim, blood samples are taken from vaccinated individuals and not immunized subjects as a control group. Cells isolated from blood samples are tested in vitro to assess the percentage of spike-specific T and B lymphocytes 1 and 7 months after a second dose of Comirnaty vaccine.

The damage of the endothelial glycocalyx is based on microvascular endothelial dysfunction and typical for critical clinical conditions like sepsis, trauma, bleeding, shock, as well as ARDS. We aim to generate first hints regarding the impact of covid-19 disease on the (damage) of the endothelial glycocalyx. Furthermore, we want to investigate the potential coagulopathies, which go along with shedding of the glycocalyx. The detection of and the relation between the severity of the disease, as well as the extent of the glycocalyx damage during the observational period, as well as the hemostatic alterations, are aim of the study.

The role of the coagulation parameters in predicting the severity of COVID-19 disease will be assessed
