Research Background and Rationale At the end of December 2019, pneumonia of unknown origin was detected in the hospitals of Wuhan city, China, and reported to the WHO country office for the first time [1-3]. After a few days, the Chinese government has confirmed the human-to-human transmission of
Coronavirus-induced disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection is a highly contagious disease with a high and unpredictable morbidity and mortality, for which there is currently no specific treatment. Progression from a mild fatigue, fever and cough, to severe respiratory failure
A Study of Mesenchymal Stem Cells as a treatment in Patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome caused by COVID-19 is a pilot phase, open label, non-randomized study, with a single study center.
The current pandemic caused by the novel virus SARS-CoV-2 has lead to a health care crisis
In December, 2019, an outbreak of pneumonia with unknown cause occurred in Wuhan city, the capital of Hubei province in China. On January 7th, the scientists succeeded to isolate a novel coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). WHO nominated it as coronavirus
Patients aged 18-80 years who confirmed with COVID-19 and classified as severe were enrolled in the study, and then separated randomly into two groups: a berberine group (B group) and a control group (C group). The diagnostic criteria for severe cases are in accordance with the Diagnosis and
BACKGROUND
Since the first case of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome - Coronavirus - 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and its subsequent clinical manifestation (COronaVIrus Disease 19, COVID-19) in the city of Wuhan (Hubei, China) in December 2019, contagion abruptly spread to different regions of China
Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a lymphoid neoplasm characterized by the presence of CD30-positive Hodgkin Reed-Sternberg cells in a background of inflammatory cells. The majority of patients with HL have a good outcome with first-line chemotherapy such as ABVD (doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine and
Hepatitis C Virus infection is one of the main causes of chronic liver disease worldwide with current estimates of approximately 130 - 210 million individuals (according to 3% of the world population) chronically infected with the hepatitis C virus. However, hepatitis C virus infections are among
There is a complex pathobiology behind OM; chemo and radiotherapy affects the mucosa and submucosa causing DNA-strand brakes and generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). This initiates a cascade of events, among others activation of transcription factors, up-regulation of pro-inflammatory
Co-infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) is frequent because of shared modes of viral transmission. Near 20% of HIV-infected patients are also infected with HCV, the prevalence of HCV in the HIV population varying according to the route of transmission.
The study site will be the Tororo district hospital campus situated in Eastern Uganda, an area of high malaria transmission. Using convenience sampling, we will enroll 500 HIV-infected pregnant women and their infants from the Tororo community. Eligible women between 12-28 weeks gestation will be
This is an open label, single site, randomized clinical trial comparing PI-based ART to NNRTI-based ART for the prevention of malaria in HIV-infected children. The two ART drug regimens that will be used include: Treatment arm 1. LPV/r + 2 NRTIs and Treatment arm 2. NVP or EFV + 2 NRTIs. The study
There is a growing demand for treatment and access to antiretroviral (ARV) therapy for HIV infection in resource - poor settings. Of all the HIV-1 subtypes (A, B, C, D, F, G, H, J, K and multiple recombinant viruses), ARV drugs were developed by studying primarily subtype B. This HIV subtype
In murine and human xenograft tumor models, administration of PS-341 weekly was associated with significant antitumor activity. In primate studies using a schedule of twice weekly for six weeks, the highest PS-341 dose not associated with severe irreversible toxicity was 0.067 mg/kg/dose or 0.80
Cognitive and neurological dysfunction after coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) is common and multi-factorial in origin. Causative factors include cerebral Embolization (1), cerebral ischemia reperfusion (2), cerebral hyperthermia after discontinuation of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) (3), and the
