Active clinical trials for "Infections"

DESIGN: Disease registry - non-interventional. INDICATION: Patients failing first or subsequent line treatment for adenovirus and / or cytomegalovirus reactivation post allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

A multi-centered, prospective study, involving pregnant women presenting to the labor and delivery unit of collaborating clinical study sites with preterm labor and intact amniotic membranes with and without suspected Intra-Amniotic Infection (IAI).

Monocentric study with the objective to evaluate the impact of genotyping CYP2C19 on the hospitalization period. The genotyping will permit to adapt at best the Voriconazole posology.

VZV is one of the important opportunistic infection in transplant recipients.Until now, there is no laboratory method to stratify the risk of VZV reactivation after solid organ transplantation. Theoretically, VZV-specific cell-mediate immune response before solid organ transplantation will further categorize the patients into high or low risk of VZV development after solid organ transplantation. The investigators thus evaluate the usefulness of VZV-specific ELISPOT assay in kidney transplant candidates to predict the development of VZV infection after kidney transplantation.

This is a register-based, epidemiological study of HPV type distribution in women aged 18 years and above with recurrent conization following a primary conization for high grade lesions/ microinvasive carcinomas. This study will involve data collection from different databases in the Cancer Registry of Norway.

We propose a retrospective review of patients with DiGeorge syndrome having undergone cardiac surgery to evaluate the incidence of blood stream and/or surgical site infection. The hypothesis is that we will find an increased number of infections for this sub-group. We will compare the incidence of infection to children of similar age and diagnosis to evaluate for variances in the incidence of infection.

The aim of the project is to study the feasibility of implementing a novel point-of-care test (POCT) for rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2 infection. A CRISPR-based detection kit would be piloted for testing of suspected SARS-CoV-2 infection in healthcare setting, with the objectives of evaluating the performance of the new test in the detection of SARS-CoV-2, and assessing the practicability of the new test for diagnosing SARS-CoV-2 infection in healthcare settings.

In light of the ongoing COVID-19 epidemic in Norway, it is paramount to develop and utilize clinical tools for assessing and risk stratifying patients with suspected coronary infection in the emergency departments. Diagnostic use of ultrasound in viral pneumonias, including COVID-19 has proved to be very useful. The use of ultrasound will assist in quick detection of lung pathology compatible with increasing severity of the COVID-19 disease. At the same time, the use of ultrasound diagnostics in the emergency department could improve logistics and reduce potential exposure of the corona virus to other health personnel. The purpose of the study is to assess whether ultrasound findings correlates with physical examination, labs, and other imaging diagnostics in patients with suspected or diagnosed COVID-19 disease, as well as assessing whether ultrasound diagnostics can assist in risk stratification. The project is conducted as a prospective multicenter study where ultrasound diagnostics will be performed on patients with suspected coronary infection in the emergency departments. Data collection takes place as part of the daily clinical evaluation of acute patients in the emergency departments. The project is planned to be completed towards the end of 2025.

This is a randomized control trial which will randomize patients who will be undergoing laparoscopic (conventional or robotic assisted) total hysterectomy to vaginal prep with 4% chlorhexidine gluconate vs 10% povidone iodine. There is paucity of information regarding the superiority of one over the other.
