Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

The investigators will follow a single prospective cohort of 50 Health Care Workers in the Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires (Argentina) from May 15th to August 31st 2020 using antibody testing for SARS-CoV-2 IgM and IgG at baseline and every 2 weeks in order to assess the incidence of COVID-19, the prevalence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies (IgM and IgG) and incidence of reinfection or reactivations of previous COVID-19 using viral gene sequencing in this cohort.

The study is an epidemiological observational study. It serves to collect data from patients with positive COVID-19 test results who are hospitalized. All data describing the course of the inpatient stay are recorded (Length of stay, course of therapy, medication, X-ray and CT results,ventilation mode and duration, laboratory). Furthermore, anthropometric data and information on COVID-19 symptoms is recorded.

Study conducted on hospitalized patient in critical ill units in Nancy and Metz to evaluate if early corticosteroid treatment in first seven days after admission improve patients outcome in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome secondary to Covid-19 compared to later corticosteroid therapy or no treatment. Also comparison of acquired infection with or without corticosteroid treatment during hospitalisation.

Nowadays, the COVID-19 epidemic causes stress not only to healthy people but also to people with unhealthy conditions. Excess psychological stress (either in quality, quantity, frequency, and/or duration) could push susceptible individuals to ultimately develop clinical asthma. Depression was significantly associated with asthma interference with daily activities, breathlessness, night symptoms, use of bronchodilators, and poor compliance with medical treatment. Covid-19 pandemic induced the countries around the world to require from its citizens not to ask for health care support rather than in emergency situations and through utilizing telemedicine. This action aims to control spreading the infection with viruses as well as to reduce the workload on the healthcare providers. Although asthma is not listed as one of the chronic conditions that might complicate coronavirus infections, asthma people might have a high-stress level that might induce their asthma attack which consequentially reflects on their quality of life. People with asthma have a unique experience rather than people with other health conditions during COVID-19. Patients with asthma experience a lot of stressors that might induce asthma and impaired their HRQOL such as overuse of antiseptic substances, stay home with a sedentary lifestyle, the sudden shift to telemedicine, and electronic work from home. Also, as a result of the similarity of asthma symptoms with coronavirus symptoms, the patient might have a continuous sense of uncertainty that s/he is infected with the COVID-19 virus, and this suspicion can increase the psychological overburden on these patients. Therefore, all these stressors should be evaluated to recognize their health needs and the kind of social and health support that should be provided to them during the pandemic time. Also, Identifying the predictors of HRQOL among patients with asthma during the pandemic of COVID-19 is urgently required.

Establish a COVID-19 biorepository to aid in developing our knowledge of the disease.

Auscul-X a touch free digital stethoscope will permit physical distancing of healthcare providers while maintaining the ability to auscultate patients from a safe distance (over 10 feet away)

1- Evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on pediatric vaccinations compliance among children attending to Assiut University Children Hospital ,assess the general health profile of studied children.

Exertional desaturation is a feature of COVID-19. The study will measure vital signs of patients discharge by practitioners in primary care, secondary care or by paramedic practitioners. Patients will then undertake a 40-steps on the spot walk followed by measurements of heart rate and oxygen saturations for up to two minutes. Association of desaturation with 30 days hospital admission and mortality will be reported.

Some patients admitted to intensive care for a severe form of COVID-19 could have respiratory, cardiac, renal and neurological sequelae in the medium or long term. The results of this research will allow an improvement in the understanding and management of patients in the medium and long term.

Сonducting in-depth medical and biological studies of the pathogenesis of the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 in Moscow, the Moscow region and some other regions of the Russian Federation.
