Active clinical trials for "Infections"

The use of synthetic mesh to repair infected defects of the abdominal wall remains controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the short-term outcomes of using PVDF mesh to treat infected abdominal wall defects in the elective setting.

Wound infections are a frequent complication in abdominal surgery. The investigators hypothesize that the antiseptic solution 0.04 % polyhexanide (serasept) may reduce occurrence of postoperative wound infections compared to NaCL (saline) solution in a prospective randomized setting.

Establishment of a biological bank of subjects vaccinated against SARS-Cov-2 infection (COVID-BioVac)

Helicobacter pylori is a common pathogen causing upper gastrointestinal diseases including gastric ulcer and gastric cancer. Recent epidemiological findings have also shown that it is also related to colon cancer, metabolic syndrome, gut dysbiosis, glycemic control and insulin resistance. The aim of this study is to investigate whether the gut microbiota and insulin resistance of patients with H. pylori infection are abnormal. In addition, whether drinking fermented milk product with probiotic reduces Helicobacter pylori, improves gut microbiota, and increases butyrate-producing bacteria and insulin resistance.

The goal of this observational study is to compare the immune function and infection mechanism of patients with hematologic tumors and those people without underlying diseases after infection with SARS-CoV-2. Clinical characteristics, treatment options and responses will be collected. Peripheral blood will be collected from patients with hematologic tumors infected with SARS-CoV-2 and those people without underlying diseases infected with SARS-CoV-2.

The aim of this study is to identify predictive factors of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms in patients with cirrhosis and to develop and validate (internally and externally) a predictive model that might be useful to use in clinical settings to stratify the risk and lead clinical decision-making strategies.

The purpose of the study is to describe the rate of occurrence of clinical diagnosis of acute respiratory infection (an infection that affects normal breathing) and different types of respiratory pathogens (harmful organisms) of new respiratory infections in a population at high risk for severe illness.

The goal of this observational study is to compare the results of a serum biomarker called the MeMed BV®, which is approved to help differentiate between bacterial and viral respiratory infections, to clinical diagnoses of adult emergency department patients presenting with recent fever and signs or symptoms of a respiratory infection. Active participation is completed during the emergency department visit and includes drawing blood, obtaining a sputum sample, and answering survey questions.

From the profiles of antibiotic susceptibility data following eradication therapy, tetracycline, amoxicillin and levofloxacin are all good candidates of antibiotics used in the rescue treatment.

The purpose of this study is to compare number of vegetative cells and spores in stool over time for fidaxomicin or vancomycin in patients diagnosed with their first episode of C. difficile infection.
