Active clinical trials for "Urinary Tract Infections"

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common infection in nursing home residents, and symptomatic UTI in the nursing home setting is the most frequent reason for hospitalization and antimicrobial therapy in Taiwan. Increasing antimicrobial resistance has stimulated interest in non-antibiotic prophylaxis of UTI. The primary aim of this study is to test the efficacy of standardized concentrated herbal extract granules TRA in the reduction of the incidence of symptomatic UTI and associated hospitalization in high-risk nursing home residents. These aims were accomplished by conducting a double-blind randomized placebo-controlled efficacy trial of TRA daily versus placebo granules in a cohort of Changhua County nursing home residents in Taiwan. A total of 164 nursing home residents at high risk for UTI were be enrolled. A permuted block design with a block size of 6 were conducted. And a Stratification by nursing home accounted for potentially different standards of care. Subjects will be randomly assigned to receive either TRA (10 g) or the placebo two times per day for 42 consecutive days. All subjects in both groups will also continuously receive their daily medication without any dose or medicine change. Urinalysis was evaluated before and after administration. Independent statisticians performed the data analysis at the end of the trial.

Urinary tract infections are common in infants. Obtaining urine from pre-continent children can be difficult and time consuming. The method of collection must balance reliability, speed, low rate of contamination, and invasiveness. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, midstream clean-catch urine is an acceptable method to diagnose urinary tract infections. However, it is impractical in pre-continent children. Recently, two quick, safe and effective methods have been reported in the literature: The Quick-wee method: it consists in stimulating the suprapubic area with a cold and wet compress to obtain urines. The bladder stimulation method : the child is held under the armpits with legs dangling and a physician taps the suprapubic area and massages lumbar area alternatively. However, advanced age, high weight, and level of discomfort during bladder stimulation were significantly associated with failure to obtain urines.

The aim of the project is to evaluate differences between intermittent and indwelling catheterisation in patients with hip surgery. Specific objectives are to determine whether: frequencies of urinary tract problems in hospital and up to one year after discharge differ between patient groups treated with intermittent and indwelling catheterisation respectively. costs and health-effects differ between the patient groups. experiences of urinary catheterisation differ between the patient groups

The objective of the study is to determine whether recurrences of urinary tract infection in children can be prevented with cranberry juice.

This study is a prospective pilot clinical trial investigating the use of urinary catheters coated with benign E. coli in geriatric subjects.

The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of an investigational oral rinse in reducing uropathogens and treating uncomplicated urinary tract infections.

In this 2-year, multisite, randomized, placebo-controlled trial involving 607 children with vesicoureteral reflux that was diagnosed after a first or second febrile or symptomatic urinary tract infecton, we evaluated the efficacy of Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMZ) prophylaxis in preventing recurrences (primary outcome). Secondary outcomes were renal scarring, treatment failure (a composite of recurrences and scarring), and antimicrobial resistance.

The purpose of this study is to determine the amount of cranberry juice that is most effective in preventing a condition in pregnant women that often leads to urinary tract infections (UTIs).

The risk of urinary tract infection (UTI) following female incontinence surgery ranges between 6-48%. The literature has shown mixed results of the therapeutic efficacy of cranberry extract to prevent UTI in females, with some promising preliminary work in the prevention of UTI's following gynecologic surgery. The researchers will conduct a study of the effect of cranberry extracts on preventing urinary tract infections following mid urethral slings, which are the most common urinary incontinence procedures.

To investigate the relationship between neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte count ratio (NLR), and postoperative fever in patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL).
