Active clinical trials for "Infections"

Patients randomly aligned in 2 groups.Vicryl plus sutures were used in group 1 for closing subperiostal flaps after dental implant surgeries and vicryl sutures were used in group 2.

The purpose of this Pilot Study is to establish a hypothesis of whether or not intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) may impact the hospital length of stay, if started within 48 of mechanical ventilation in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Phase 2, randomised, double-blind,double-dummy study in hospitalised adults with complicated urinary tract infection (cUTI), including acute pyelonephritis.Treatment duration for each cohort was 7 to 14 days. Patients were not permitted to switch to oral therapy.

Randomized controlled parallel open-label study in persons living with HIV. The aim is to study weight changes in patients switching from a dolutegravir and tenofovir disoproxil containing regimen to either a dolutegravir or tenofovir disoproxil free regimen.

This trial is part of a portfolio of studies designed to assess the clinical and operational performance of Abbott's NxTekTM Malaria Pf Plus and NxTekTM Malaria Pf/Pv Plus Rapid Test Devices.

This study aims to compare the sensitivity of detecting Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Mycoplasma genitalium by real-time multiplex PCR in a pooled analysis (i.e. gathering pharyngeal, anorectal and urinary samples) versus the standard of care (where a real-time multiplex PCR is made in each of the three samples).

The aim of this study is to determine if the Sharklet catheter, with its unique surface micropattern, reduces infections in participants, when compared to a standard silicone catheter.

After birth, in the presence of risk factors for early neonatal bacterial infection (IBNP), the pediatrician must make a difficult decision quickly or not to prescribe additional examinations and / or hospitalize or not the newborn in order to administer parenteral antibiotics. This decision takes into account several contextual data, (clinical, biological and bacteriological clinical data) to be considered simultaneously. These information lack sensitivity and specificity. Therefore, the common attitude among newborns in many countries remains the achievement of a significant number of additional tests and the establishment, without a prior evidence of infection, intravenous empirical antibiotic therapy for 48 -72h at least in hospitalization. However, the diagnosis of IBNP posteriori, is often reversed. This attitude is: one source to higher health care costs (hospitalization, additional examinations) Selection of the bacterial ecology of the newborn and neonatal services and stress for the newborn and parents

Infectious keratitis are favored by the circumstances causing the small trauma of the corneal epithelium, corneal surgery, corneal dryness under health system such as Sjögren's syndrome rheumatoid arthritis, or much more frequently wearing contact lenses. If the majority of infectious keratitis are favourable, some lead to serious injury of the cornea, or even corneal perforation which result an endophthalmitis. This unfavourable evolution may lead to blindness due to corneal damage, the endo-ocular lesions or enucleation of the eyeball. This negative evolution is encountered while the infectious keratitis due to tedious germs of difficult diagnosis such as nontuberculous Mycobacterial, fungal infections, fungal keratitis, amoebic keratitis, and certain viral keratitis. The microbiological diagnosis of routine is based on the systematic search for pathogens tedious from invasive sampling of cornea by vaccinostyle. We set up a new non-invasive corneal swab diagnostic method.

The present study aims to examine whether or not the use of mobile Health (mHealth) by community health workers (CHWs) can improve the identification of surgical site infection (SSI) and a timely return to care among patients who undergo cesarean-section surgery at a rural hospital in Rwanda.
