Active clinical trials for "Infections"

This household-based prospective cohort study aims to stablish the household transmission of Respiratory syncytial virus and S. pneumoniae especially in the elderly and infants/children as well as inter-relationship between S. pneumoniae and Respiratory syncytial virus.

The Sona Saliva C-19 Rapid Test is a bioassay intended for rapid point-of-care detection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Performance of the Sona Saliva C-19 Rapid Test assay will be assessed by comparison to a RT-PCR reference method

The purpose of this study is to compare the incidence rate of infection in surgical patients with closed fractures treated prophylactically with Cefazolin versus Vancomycin in the peri-operative period. The hypothesis of this study is that patients undergoing surgical treatment for closed fractures who are treated prophylactically with Vancomycin will have a lower incidence rate of infection than patients who are treated prophylactically with Cefazolin.

This study will evaluate the use of free autologous dermal fat grafting (also called free dermal fat autografting) to treat complex craniofacial wounds that have failed standard treatment and to understand how well these grafts work to repair wounds long term. Patients who have undergone free autologous dermal fat grafting to treat complex craniofacial wounds less than 1 week ago will have photographs and small biopsies taken of the area that was grafted. Patients will be followed for 2 years to monitor the area that was grafted.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the feasibility of using CSJ148 to prevent congenital human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) in pregnant women with primary HCMV infection.

The investigators hypothesize that sex, age, area of exposure and purpose of travel are associated with different travel-related infections. The investigators also hypothesize that certain infections will have long-term sequelae. Health-data will be collected from travellers from Switzerland and Europe. The project starts with a pilot study for 50 travellers, followed by the recruiting of 10,000 travellers. The data collection will be via a mobile App (ITIT). The ITIT App will collect active data from travellers. The participants will download the App after signing an electronic consent form and completing a baseline questionnaire. Then the travellers will answer a short daily questionnaire about illness symptoms during travel. The ITIT App will also collect passive data (GPS localisation, environmental and weather data). The project will provide real-time data on travel-related infections and profile travel illness by age, sex and purpose of travel and also identify outbreaks.

This research trial studies the incidence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in screening Indian men who have sex with men (MSM). Gathering health information over time from Indian MSM may help doctors determine how many Indian MSM develop new cases of HIV infection.

This research trial studies the incidence of human papilloma virus (HPV) infection and HPV-associated disease in screening Indian men who have sex with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive men. Gathering health information over time from Indian men who have sex with men (MSM) may help doctors determine how many HIV -positive MSM develop new HPV infections and how many HIV-positive MSM have HPV related disease.

Following intravenous injection of [F-18]MHF as a bolus, dynamic PET imaging of the lower limbs will be acquired for approximately 90 minutes. The acquired images will be processed and viewed on a MIMVista or similar workstation. The uptake pattern of [F-18]MHF around infected orthopedic knee implant will be determined and compared with its uptake pattern around non-infected knee implants. This study will look at how [18F]MHF goes into normal knee replacements and those with suspected infection.

Take AS04 adjuvanted HPV16/18 vaccine as an example to evaluate the impact of HPV vaccination on HPV infection and related disease burden in the real world based on prospective cohort and Yinzhou Regional Health Information Platform (YRHIP), in order to bridge the gap in relevant evidence in China.
