COVID-19 Clinical Trials and Expanded Access

Breath analysis is the evaluation of exhaled air of humans. It aims to get information about the clinical status of a human being by monitoring its volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in exhaled air. In this feasibility study it is intended to find specific biomarker(s) in exhaled breath indicating an infection with SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2).

As the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has continued to affect life in the United States, the important role of non-pharmaceutical preventive behaviors (such as wearing a face mask) in reducing harm has become clear. In parallel to the pandemic, researchers have observed an "infodemic" of misinformed or inconsistent narratives about COVID-19. There is growing evidence that misinformed COVID-19 narratives are associated with a wide variety of undesirable behavior (e.g., burning down cell towers). Further, individuals' adherence to recommended COVID-19 preventive guidelines has been inconsistent, and such mandates have engendered opposition and controversy. Recent research suggests the possibility that trust in science and scientists may be an important thread to weave throughout these seemingly disparate components of the modern public health landscape. Thus, this paper describes the protocol for a randomized trial of a brief, digital intervention to increase trust in science. The objective of this trial is to examine if exposure to a curated infographic can increase trust in science, reduce believability of misinformed narratives, and increase likelihood to engage in preventive behaviors.

The aim of the present work is to describe the hemodynamic effects shown in patients with ARDS secondary to SARS-CoV-2 infection

The aim of the proposed project is to provide a comprehensive assessment of the mental health impact of the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak in Spain. A prospective cohort study of three groups will be conducted: (1) COVID-19 cases or close contacts recently isolated or quarantined; (2) healthcare workers; (3) adult general population. Recruitment through epidemiologic surveillance services, hospitals, primary care centers in 6 Spanish Autonomous Communities (groups 1 & 2) and a random sample of individuals using telephone numbers as the sampling frames(group 3). Web-based surveys or telephone interviews at baseline and 6-month follow-up assess: current living and employment status; COVID-19 infection status; mental health (post-traumatic stress, panic, depression, anxiety, alcohol and substance use, suicidality; services use); psychological functioning; general health status and quality of life. Specific modules focus on isolation or quarantine (group 1) and care for COVID-19 patients (group 2). Short bi-weekly brief follow-up surveys among groups 1 & 2 will provide additional assessment of main outcomes in the two months following baseline assessment.

In this study, the investigators are attempting to evaluate the influence of socio-economic factors on the functional recovery (physical and psychological) of patients who developed ARDS after a COVID-19 infection, with the aim of offering personalized medical and social follow-up and support measures in order to avoid medium- and long-term complications, which can result in handicaps, reduced quality of life, and a higher risk of death.

The National Institute of Medical Sciences and Nutrition is a national reference center for rheumatic diseases that belongs to The National Institutes of Health, and has Federal founding. More than 8,000 patients with a wide variety of rheumatologic diagnosis receive medical care. On March 2020, the WHO announced COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. The first case was registered in Mexico on February 2020. In March 2020, the Mexican Government requested that our Institution should restrict health care to exclusively COVID-19 patients; accordingly, outpatient consultations were, and up to August 2020 still, hold on. Meanwhile, when possible, the Department of Immunology and Rheumatology has implemented an "on-demand", non-organized patient´s health care, through email and phone contact; nonetheless, and due to the middle-low socioeconomic status of most of our patients and limited technical resources available at our Institution, the attempt has been challenging.

Observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, monocentric study, This Study is proposed to all couples followed in Assisted Reproduction and CECOS Nord for whom the protocols were stopped when they entered into confinement related to the Covid-19 epidemic on 13 March 2020.

There is concern that wearing a face mask during COVID will affect oxygen uptake, especially during intense exercise. This study will assess the effect of wearing two different face masks (disposable and cloth) on blood and muscle oxygenation during cycling exercise.

A Trial of GC4419 in Patients with Critical Illness due to COVID-19

Since ARDS is a major complication of COVID - 19 with subsequent formation of non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema , worsening the oxygenation of the patients and foamy and even bloody sputum formation, so the idea is to use alcohol inhalation as it reduce surface tension on the alveoli and markedly decrease sputum formation with improvement on oxygenation beside its cytolethal effect on virus lipid bilayer. A lot of researches and publications proved the role of alcohol inhalation in treatment of pulmonary edema. Alcohol inhalation may has inflammatory effect and dangerous effect on patients but this can be controlled by the actual concentration used and the way we use it according to general condition of the patient and with the help of anti - inflammatory action of Asprin .
