Active clinical trials for "Infections"

This is a multicentre observational study involving NNUs across the UK. Study personnel (Neonatologists and research Nurses) from these NNUs will identify eligible babies in whom a positive culture has been obtained. This study will help identify the infections leading to death in babies on UK neonatal units, define the clinical characteristics of babies dying from infections, and describe the management of babies dying from infections with a specific focus in their antimicrobial treatment.

The purpose of this study is to find differences in rates of surgical site infections following emergency laparotomy with the use of two different incisional negative pressure wound therapy (iNPWT)devices.

This is the protocol that formalizes the establishment of the TROPICA-BIOBANK biobank

This is a two-way (retrospective and prospective) study of COVID-19 infection in an observational cohort of patients with chronic hepatitis B treated with antiviral therapy. Patients with chronic hepatitis B who received anti-HBV treatment in the Second Department of Hepatology, Beijing Ditan Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from February 2022 to December 2023 were enrolled. After enrollment, demographic data of patients, information on antiviral treatment of chronic hepatitis B, COVID-19 vaccination, COVID-19 infection and COVID-19 incidence and treatment from January 2022 to pre enrollment, and data on HBV virus and serology, clinical biochemistry, liver and lung imaging, COVID-19 nucleic acid and COVID-19 antibody examination of patients were collected. After enrollment, prospective anti-HBV treatment, HBV virology, clinical biochemistry, liver imaging and COVID-19 infection and morbidity were observed. The patients with COVID-19 infection during the prospective observation period were observed for COVID-19 infection, onset and treatment, including body temperature, clinical symptoms, signs, cardiac examination, pulmonary imaging, COVID-19, clinical biochemistry, disease severity, time of virus negative conversion, hospital stay and outcome. The influence of COVID-19 infection on liver disease and the influence of interferon anti-HBV treatment on COVID-19 infection, its pathogenesis and prognosis were studied.

The epidemiology of H. pylori infection among children in Slovenia has not been investigated. Therefore, we are conducting a study to examine the epidemiology of H. pylori and associated risk factors among children in Slovenia.

Aortic or large arterial vessel infections are rare but serious infections. Their management is based on French and American expert opinions. The quality of evidence supporting these guidelines is low because most publications on the subject correspond to case series and few interventional studies have been performed to validate their management. However, referral centres for vascular surgery are frequently solicited to give their opinion on patients suffering from mycotic aneurysms. In addition, the last few decades have seen the improvement of vascular surgery techniques allowing the management of more and more patients, often elderly and comorbid. There has therefore been an increase in the incidence of infectious complications associated with this care. It is therefore essential to participate in research on aortic and large arterial vessel infections. For this, a monocentric cohort study seems to be an essential first step to better understand the polymorphism and complexity of these patients.

The BK virus (BKV) belongs to the Polyomaviridae family. The primary infection, generally asymptomatic, occurs during childhood. The virus then persists in latent form in the body, mainly in the epithelial cells of the kidney and urinary tract. Cellular immunosuppression favors BKV replication. It is responsible for pathologies of the renal-urinary tract such as BKV-associated nephropathy (BKVAN) in kidney transplant recipients, hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) in hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) recipients or ureteral stenosis. To date, there is no specific antiviral treatment against BKV. The management of patients is essentially symptomatic and requires a multidisciplinary approach. It is therefore necessary to identify early prognostic markers for the occurrence of CH and to develop new therapeutic strategies.

To assess Family-unit Helicobacter Pylori Infection rates and antimicrobial resistance rates in Jiangsu,China

A research team member will brush the inferior surface of the subjects' middle turbinate (nasal cavity) using a cytology brush to obtain the cells needed to perform our functional respiratory assays. An individual trained in phlebotomy will draw one 3 ml lavender top tube of blood to test c-reactive protein, calprotectin, and lactoferrin. They will also draw a 5 ml gold top serum separator tube of blood to test fibroblast growth factor-19. The participant will answer questions from the baseline survey and report their current medications interview-style with the research team member.

Cefiderocol is a new antibiotic from the siderophore cephalosporin family for which there are few real-life data on its use in the treatment of infections with multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacilli. The circulation of bacterial strains multi-resistant to antibiotics is important at the Strasbourg University Hospital, so the investigators wish to report their local experience of the 1st uses of Cefiderocol in the treatment of infections with multi-resistant Gram-negative bacilli to antibiotics in order to better clarify the use of this antibiotic (therapeutic indication, method of administration)
