Active clinical trials for "Infections"

The main objectives of the study are; to determine the efficacy of test drug Crano-cure for the treatment of urinary tract infection, to compare the effectiveness of Polyherbal formulation Crano-cure vs. Standard allopathic. Antibacterial/ antibiotic (Ciprofloxacin 500 mg) in treatment of UTI, to assess the safety of trial drug. Research literatures have revealed that Tribulus terrestris (Gokhro), Vaccinium macrocarpon (karonda), Cuminum cyminum (Zeera sufaid), Rheum emodi (Revand chini) and Piper cubeba (Kabab chini) are important therapeutic plants. Many pharmacological researches have been done on these plants. For instance, antioxidant, antiseptic, anti-microbial, anti-bacterial, anticancer etc. In the above claims and facts, the study is conducted to formulate and evaluate the polyherbal capsule and to find out the most effective combination having anti-bacterial activity.

Immunoglobulin A (IgA), the major mucosal antibody, plays a key role in maintaining diversity of the intestinal microbiota and eliminating intestinal pathogens. Dysbiosis is an important risk factor for Clostridium difficile infection, which is the leading cause of nosocomial diarrhea in industrialized countries. This study aims to develop IgA monoclonal antibodies targeting C. difficile surface proteins.

Given the current public health crisis the use of telehealth consultation visits including phone-only and video visits has exponentially increased. This study will investigate if the conduct of telehealth phone only visits is non-inferior in terms of patient satisfaction/experience, adherence to post-visit recommendations such as medications, blood work and other medical testing, follow up care, when compared to the conduct of video delivered telehealth visits. Patients will be randomized to receive a routine care visit via phone only vs. video.

Over recent years there has been a lot of research looking at how the bacteria in our gut affects our health. Some medications are known to cause changes in gut bacteria. Many patients that are prescribed iron report gastrointestinal side effects. This research project aims to see if the cause of the gastrointestinal side effects is due to iron causing changes in the gut bacteria. This can be detected via measuring the levels of hydrogen and methane and other compounds in the breath and stool.

A randomized control trial was conducted to test the effect of umbilical cord clamping distance on cord separation time and umbilical cord microbial colonization in neonates.

The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy of a combination of motivational interventions and a brief therapy session to increase the adherence to medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioids.

A pilot study was initiated to assess feasibility of testing asymptomatic dental patients presenting to the Oral Medicine Clinic at Rutgers School of Dental Medicine for SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA using an FDA approved RT-PCR test for SARS-CoV2- an RNA RT-PCR assay (Accurate Diagnostics)

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the potential effects of photobiomodulation when used with topical disinfectants in the anterior nares of healthy adults. Over a three week period, participants will have their anterior nares swabbed with methylene blue, chlorhexidine gluconate, or a combination of the two followed by 4 minutes of non-thermal red light treatment. The fourth week of consist of only red light treatment. Culture samples of the subjects nasal microbiome will be taken prior to treatment, immediately after treatment, 4-, 8-, 24-, and 48 hours after treatment.

This study investigated the effects of a proprietorial herbal supplement, Turmeric Brainwave (now Mind focus), on cognition, mood and the microbiome in older adults experiencing subjective memory decline, following 90 days supplementation.

Although the existing diarrhoeagenic Escherichia coli (E. coli) challenge model is already suitable for dietary interventions in its current form, further characterization of the working-mechanism of the attenuated strain and further optimization of the study design will enable the investigators to better select those ingredients that affect the key pathophysiological processes. The aim of the CORAL study is to further characterize and increase the discriminative power of the diarrhoeagenic E. coli challenge model.
