Active clinical trials for "Communicable Diseases"

The purpose of this study is to collect data on the HIV strains currently circulating among female sex workers (FSWs) and their clients. In addition, this study will identify potential participants for future studies.

The study will identify patients with infections commonly observed in transplant recipients, describe the epidemiology of their infection, study the risk factors associated with various infections and examine strategies of early diagnosis and prevention of infection

The purpose of this study is to optimize the management of patients treated for invasive fungal infections by establishing a real-time, continuous clinical data base that will capture and monitor trends in the epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment and outcomes of invasive fungal infections; reflect routine clinical management of patients with invasive fungal infections in order to evaluate treatment and provide a rationale for future treatment paradigms; and allow physicians to assess adherence to institutional clinical practice guidelines, validate current standardized definitions for patients with invasive fungal infections and promote change where appropriate.

To evaluate the types, incidence, course, and outcome of pulmonary disorders in newly diagnosed cases of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), newly diagnosed cases of AIDS-related complex (ARC) and newly diagnosed asymptomatic human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.

This is a double blind randomized trial in which patients with colorectal cancer undergoing surgery will be selected to receive either a symbiotic formulation or placebo. The researchers will compare incidence of surgical site infection between the study groups.

Helicobacter pylori is closely related with gastritis, peptic ulcer, gastric cancer and gastric MALT lymphoma, and it may participate in a variety of parenteral diseases. Infection rates of Helicobacter pylori is still high, so effectively eradication is necessary. At present, the eradication therapy has achieved very good curative effect. However, relapse after eradication is unoptimistic. This study has made an analysis for reinfection after eradication of Helicobacter pylori Infection include the retrospective and prospective studies, aims to explore the epidemiological data and related risk factors of Hp reinfection in China.

National, large-scale, standardized, standardized, real-world research; Prospective, single - arm open, non - interventional, registration, multi - center clinical study; in the use of cefuroxime axetil dispersible tablets in the hospital, according to the principle of voluntary selection of 200; registration of the use of cefuroxime axetil dispersion tablets patients; Target sample size of 100,000 cases; Exemption from informed consent for ethical review applications; Antibiotic drug safety re-evaluation of large data.

Both patient and staff safety are of major importance during the procedure of fibreoptic bronchoscopy. Patient safety depends partly on adequate disinfection of instruments and accessories used as well as careful monitoring during the procedure.

Demonstrate and compare the 3D morphology of the bladder wall in full and drained states with 2 different kinds of bladder catheters in place. (Foley Catheter vs. Cystosure Catheter)

Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) are characterized by quantitative and qualitative bone marrow failure and by a disorder of the medullary production which is a pre-leukemic state which can evolve into acute myeloid leukemia. The risk of leukemic transformation is estimated by the score IPSS (International Prognostic Score System). We distinguish the MDS of low risk (IPSS<1) and those of high risk of leukemic transformation (IPSS=1,5). Besides the risk of leukemic transformation, MDS much be complicated of infections which could be life-threatening. The risk of developing first infection after the diagnosis of MDS of high risk is probably influenced by anamnestic (disease duration, comorbidities), clinical (veinous central catheter, previous hospitalization), biological (neutropenia, lymphopenia, serum ferritin) and therapeutics (demethylating agent, lenalidomide, erythropoietin, G-CSF, transfusions, anti-infectious preventive treatment) factors. Their identification will allow for improved targeting of the population which is is likely to benefit from anti-infective prophylaxis Primary objective is to identify risk factors associated with first acute episode of infection in patients with MDS, by comparing index cases and matched control cases who did not develop infection episode since diagnosis. Secondary objectives are to explore nature and severity of infectious episodes, number of recurrences during 1 year of follow up and survival at 6 and 12 months
