Active clinical trials for "Infections"

COVID-19 ( known as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)) has a highly polymorphic clinical presentation, ranging from pauci-symptomatic infection to severe, potentially complicated forms with acute respiratory distress syndrome or multisystemic organs failure. The picture may be initially severe, or it may progress in two stages, with worsening 7 to 10 days after the first symptoms with an overall case-fatality rate of 3 to 4%. Its management is essentially symptomatic, as no antiviral treatment has so far demonstrated a clinical benefit in this condition. In such a context, healthcare professionals assigned to COVID units will be faced with a heavy workload and emotional burden that could lead to psychological suffering or even burnout and its consequences. We would therefore like to describe, using validated tools, the emotional evolution of the care workers at the Limoges University Hospital and the Esquirol University Hospital faced with this new pandemic infection. An initial and end-of-study evaluation of the caregivers will be carried out concerning their anxiety and depressive state, their personal capacity for resilience and their degree of empathy

this prospective study we will examine the prevalence of fungal infection in patients undergoing oral cavity surgery without treatment with antifungal drug

The aim of the study is to determine the incidence o of SARS-cov2 infection among health care workers highly exposed to covid 19 during 10 weeks et to analyze the determinants of their occupational and environmental exposure. Every 14 days, we performed SARS-Cov2 RT- PCR, serological testing and clinical questionnaire among a cohort of 100 HCW with a high degree of exposure to covid19 infection. Information about occupational exposure as the workplace, the activity of care, the characteristics of patient infected are captured, as well as environmental or personal exposure. The results will support the design of a new care organization and will define new ways of protection for patients (covid or not covid 19) and prevention for HCW.

PHENOTYPE is an investigator-led, observational cohort study which aims to explore the long-term outcomes of patients with COVID-19 infection and to identify potential risk factors and biomarkers that can prognosticate disease severity and trajectory.

This study evaluates the newborns who had respiratory symptoms at the neonatal intensive care admission

In December 2019 a new kind of virus was identified in China as the responsible of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and interstitial pneumonia. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) quickly spread around the world and in February 2020 became a pandemia in Europe. No pharmacological treatment is actually licensed for the SARS-CoV2 infection and at the current state of art there is a lack of data about the clinical management of the coronavirus 2019 disease (COVID-19). The aim of this observational study is to collect the data and the outcomes of COVID-19 patients admitted in the H. Sacco Respiratory Unit treated according to the Standard Operating Procedures and the Good Clinical Practice.

7. Objectives To apply e-health methods to perform active monitoring and assess determinants of incident Infection of COVID-19 in a hospital population. 8. Study design Prospective, Single-centre, observational clinical study. 9. Disease or disorder under study Healthy people in risk of COVID-19 infection. 10. Main variable. Symptoms related to infection caused by SARS-Cov2. 11. Study population and total number of patients Men and women in general god health status aged between 18 and 80 years that currently are employees of Hospital de La Princesa . 12. Duration of treatment Each subject will be monitored, since its recruitment, for a period of 12 weeks. 13. Timetable and expected date of completion The overall duration of the study is estimated at about 6 months, from patient recruitment to the last data recorded by last subject. The aim is to carry out this study from March 2020 onwards.

There are lack of endoscopic criteria for diagnosing Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection by conventional white light imaging (WLI). Linked color imaging (LCI) is a newly developed endoscopy technique, which can diagnose mucosal lesions and H. pylori infection by enhancing color contrast of the mucosa. The aim of the study is to investigate the ability of LCI for diagnosing H. pylori infection compared with WLI.

Understanding the emergence of linezolid-resistance in Staphylococci has been allowed in the past years through the discovery of the clonal dissemination of a chromosomal cassette carrying a modified crf gene. New mutations have even been described. Though, clinical evidences are still lacking, especially concerning the factors associated to this emergence. It could seriously become quite problematic to eliminate one of the last therapeutic weapon at our disposal for the treatment of severe or complicated infections caused by resistant strains of Staphylococci and Enterococci. We aim to describe the mechanisms that permitted to this resistance to become clinically significant, concerning meticillin-resistant Staphyloccocus epidermidis strains causing blood stream infections in ICU patients, and show the clinical risk factors associated with it through a case-control study on patients hospitalized in two ICUs of our hospital between 2011 and 2016.
