Active clinical trials for "Communicable Diseases"

Dual-focus with narrow-band imaging (DF-NBI) is a novel technique to improve the quality of images of the irregular mucosal structures and microvessels of gastric neoplasms. The investigators compare this technique with conventional white light (WL) endoscopy to predict Helicobacter pylori infection.

This study will evaluate the incidence of allergic manifestations (the first of which is atopic dermatitis) and infectious diseases in children fed with an infant formula under real conditions of use.

Severe intraoperative hyperglycemia (SIH) is recognized as one of the important risk factors for the increasing of the postoperative infections rate, which can negatively affect the final outcome of surgical treatment. Studies in recent years have shown a much higher incidence of wound infections, respiratory and urinary tract infections in patients who intraoperatively had an increase in blood glucose level (BGL) above 180 mg/dl (10 mmol/l). This problem in neurosurgery is especially important due to the high proportion of patients with acute injuries and potentially long-term need for postoperative intensive care, as well as the frequent use of drugs that increase blood glucose level (steroids) in neurooncology. Most published studies include patients from both of these groups. This study is aimed to assess the impact of severe intraoperative hyperglycemia on the incidence of infectious complications only in patients scheduled for elective intracranial interventions.

Study of COVID-19 seroprevalence in precarious population living in shelters of Samusocial de Paris and in staff working in these centers during COVID-19 epidemic.

This study aims to assess the feasibility and utility of birth testing using point-of-care (POC) testing in maternity settings in Eswatini.

This study concerns patients having had an infection on their prosthesis (hip, knee,..) and for whom a 2-step exchange of prosthesis has been done. A 2-step exchange consists in explantation of the prosthesis and implementation of a spacer at the first stage, and reimplantation of a new prosthesis in a second stage. Patients with late prosthetic joint infection are at risk for superinfection at the time of reimplantation. The aim is to determine the microbiological epidemiology in patients experiencing failure following reimplantation to establish, based on the drug susceptibilities, which cement could be the most active.

The aim of this study is to determine the global cost of management of prosthetic joint infection.

HIV patients are likely to suffer from opportunistic infections, in absence of highly active retroviral therapy. This happens due to lack of awareness of HIV status among patients or unresponsive to anti retroviral drugs. This study is for the prevalence of AIDS defining OIs among treatment naive HIV patients.

Osteoarticular infections at pneumococcal are rare, potentially serious and remain under diagnosed. They represent 3 at 10% of the arthritis septic in the literature. 190 cases have been published of 1965 at 2003. They represent 0.3% at 0.6% of the bacteraemia at Streptococcus peumoniae.

This study aim to evaluate the immune response of negative patients during a COVID-19 outbreak. Patients are serially tested with a VivaDiag ™ COVID-19 lgM / IgG Rapid Test to evaluate the immune response in negative patients and the reliability of the test in those patients who develop clinical signs of COVID-19 during the trial.
