Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

retrograde study of common and rare adverse effects of multiple doses of ivermectin used during the coivd 19 pandemic in egypt

There is a theoretical risk that the nasal mucosal dryness caused by oral retinoid medications may increase the risk of patients becoming infected with Covid-19. Isotretinoin is a drug used commonly in dermatology, usually for management of acne and occasionally for management of other dermatological diseases. The most common side effect of oral isotretinoin is mucocutaneous dryness, which can lead to nasal dryness and crusting. Isotretinoin is derived from vitamin A and produces this side effect by arresting the cell cycle of mucus secreting cells in the nasal cavity. The mucus usually secreted moisturises the nasal cavity and provides a protective, lubricating layer overlying the cilia. Cilia and nasal mucous are both believed to have roles in defence against infection and immunity. Hence it was postulated at the start of the pandemic that the effect this medication has on the nasal environment may increase the likelihood of contracting a disease spread by droplet or aerosol particles. In March 2020 we established a departmental Excel database of our patients on oral retinoid medications in order to track those currently receiving treatment. The database includes people taking isotretinoin, alitretinoin and acitretin. The greatest number of patients in this database are in the isotretinoin group and patients taking isotretinoin tend to be a relatively young and fit population. Acitretin on the other hand is often used in an older population who may have other underlying disease comorbidities. There were only a very small number of patients taking alitretinoin in the database. In order to limit confounding variables and provide as clear a result as possible, it was decided to limit this study to comparing the group of patients taking isotretinoin, aged 16-40years, with an age-matched background population from NHS Grampian. This study would examine the electronic patient record of patients aged 16-40years, taking isotretinoin between March and October 2020 and compare their rates of Covid-19 infection, hospitalisation and complications with the rates of the local age-matched background population. Persons taking isotretinoin in the time period would be excluded from the background population. As Covid-19 is a new disease, the existing research literature on this specific topic is extremely limited, and so far this study would be the first in this area.

Traditional Chinese medicine is regarded as a dietary supplement in many countries around the world. Dietary supplement, NRICM101, has been available for people who diagnosed, suspected or prevented for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in September 2020. It is expected to help people not to progress to severe illness, and reduce lung damage and mortality. The investigators gather the effects of people who taking NRICM101 using the Real-World Big Data Study and the network feedback information collection model. This study can be used as a reference for global prevention and control of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Purpose: To confirm the changes in lifestyle due to differences in perceptions of infectious disease risk after the COVID-19 pandemic, decrease in exposure levels of environmentally hazardous chemicals and changes in indicators related to chronic kidney disease Methods: Survey on health risk awareness and lifestyle for COVID-19 Blood and urine tests for exposure to environmentally hazardous chemicals Collection of hospital clinical data utilization for indicators related to chronic kidney disease Clinical endpoints: Verification of differences in health risk perception level and lifestyle changes Verification of changes in lifestyle changes and exposure to environmentally hazardous chemicals Verification of changes in indicators related to kidney disease according to changes in exposure to environmentally hazardous chemicals Statistical methods: chi-square test, independent mean comparison t-test, ANOVA test, regression analysis

COVID-19 associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA) is considered a potentially life-threatening infection in critically ill COVID (Corona Virus disease)-19 patients. This study will investigate the efficacy of mold-active prophylaxis with posaconazole for patients with severe SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome)-CoV-2 infection admitted to the ICU (intensive care unit) in a multi-center case-control study in Europe.

Surveys administered to subjects who have recovered from COVID-19 to assess how effective their treatment was.

On 11 February 2020, the International Committee for the Classification of Viruses named the disease caused by SAＲS-CoV-2 infection in humans as the new coronavirus pneumonia (coronavirus disease 2019, COVID-19). People infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are affected by their underlying diseases and are listed by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a high-risk population of SARS-CoV-2 infection.To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccine in those patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection , and to guide the COVID-19 vaccination more scientifically, reasonably and effectively, this study was carried out.

This study will investigate the presence of SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody and its association with demographic information, medical history of SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals, exposure history of close contacts, vaccination status, and compliance with the strategies for self-quarantine to prevent the transmission in the community where SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals were home-quarantined and treated.

"Does the COVID-19 vaccination rate change according to the education, income, culture level, social mindfulness and prosociality ?"

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), a global pandemic affecting the whole world and taking the lives of millions. The majority of fatalities occur in the elderly specially in the presence of chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension, obesity, cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease and cancer.
