Feb 3rd, 2023 - Background: Cesarean section (CS) is the single most common surgical procedure performed worldwide. In Ethiopia, estimates suggest that CS accounts for 30-50% of all operations performed. Population-based work indicates that CS rates of up to 19% are demonstrably related to improved maternal and neonatal survival. In Ethiopia, the national CS rate per live births was 1.9% in 2016, but rates are...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - A phase 1/2, open-label clinical trial in individuals, 18 years of age and older, who are in good health, have no known history of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) or Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, and meet all other eligibility criteria. This clinical trial is designed to assess the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of a delayed (>/=12 weeks)...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - Vaccines and antiviral therapies are critical for prevention and treatment of viral diseases. Among other things, testing of vaccines or antiviral medications requires knowing whether the prospective subject has been previously infected by the virus to be studied. We will recruit healthy persons for this study and screen them for their eligibility to potentially participate in clinical trials o...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - Study Description: This study is to identify epitopes of SARS-CoV-2 that are recognized by CD8 T cells in the blood of healthy young and old participants as well as COVID-19 recovered. We will also measure general health factors using blood, saliva and urine samples. By analyzing the frequency, differentiation, and expansion of these SARS-CoV-2 recognizing CD8 T cells, we hope to shed light int...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - Pr(SqrRoot)(Copyright)cis Rare heterozygous mutations in cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA4) lead to a monogenetic defect that presents with a heterogeneous clinical phenotype of recurrent infections, lymphoproliferation, autoimmunity, and lymphocytic infiltration of target organs. Management is challenging and focuses on treating infections, autoimmune complications, and end organ damage ...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - This is a phase 4, randomized, open-label, multicenter trial to evaluate the efficacy of a single injected dose of Benzathine Penicillin G (BPG) 2.4 MU (Arm 1) compared to three successive weekly injected doses of BPG 2.4 MU (Arm 2) for treatment of early syphilis in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected and HIV-uninfected subjects. The study will enroll 560 adults (to achieve 420 evaluab...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - This is a Phase 1, single dose (200 mg), open-label study comparing the pharmacokinetics and safety of Pretomanid in subjects with mild, moderate, and severe hepatic impairment to matched, non-hepatically impaired subjects. This study will enroll approximately 6 subjects with mild hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh A), approximately 6 subjects with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh B), approx...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - The purpose of this study is to assess the immunogenicity and safety of SK SARS-CoV-2 recombinant nanoparticle vaccine adjuvanted with AS03 (GBP510) in adults aged 18 years and older. This study includes 2-dose schedule (28-day interval) of GBP510(Test vaccine) and ChAdOx1-S(Control vaccine) in stage1. Participants are expected to participate for up to a maximum of approximately 13 months. A 12...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - The investigators propose to randomize at the kebele level, which consist of approximately 15 villages, 4,000 residents, and are served by a single primary school. Eighty kebeles will be randomized to one of four arms: 1) annual mass azithromycin distribution per WHO guidelines (Annual); 2) annual mass azithromycin distribution plus quarterly targeted treatment of all children aged 0-9 years (C...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - A subset of HIV-infected patients, those with poor immunologic response to combined antiretroviral therapy (CD4+ T-cell count of less than 300-350 cells/mm^3) despite control of viremia, are at increased risk for both HIV-related and non-HIV-related complications compared to immunologic responders. Thus, novel approaches for treating HIV infection are needed to facilitate management of this pat...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - The mucosa-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are innate-like T cells with restricted T cell receptor (TCR) usage, which are preferentially localized in mucosal tissues and respond to microbial infection by rapidly producing cytokines and cytotoxic effectors. They recognize the non-classical related molecule (MR1). MAIT cells react against a newly identified class of antigens presented by MR1:...
