COVID-19 Clinical Trials and Expanded Access

Multicenter retrospective chart review of patients admitted to any of the four Methodist Health System hospitals

"This is a prospective, single-center specimen collection study. Subjects 18 years of age or older who do not have symptoms of COVID-19 will be enrolled. Two nasal swab samples and one saliva sample will be collected from each subject. The saliva sample will be tested with the COVIDSeq Test and one nasal swab will be tested with an EUA approved COVID test. The other nasal swab sample will be stored and a subset (approximately 250 specimens) will be tested with the COVIDSeq Test. Results of all testing will be provided to the sponsor for statistical analysis. Results from the comparator EUA test will be provided to the collection site investigator or designated collection site study staff. No medical treatment, guidance on treatment decisions, nor medical care will be provided. "

Positive results from COVIDSeq Test using saliva and/or the comparator EUA test will be provided to subjects so participants can be referred for further evaluation (outside the study).

Currently, COVID+ infected patients who are on ambulatory home monitoring self-assess their health status simply by completing questionnaires and measuring their temperature twice a day. The SECURADOM project proposes to facilitate the follow-up of COVID+ or suspected COVID+ infected patients, followed at home, by collecting clinical signs on a telephone application and to monitor physiological safety parameters (respiratory rate, heart rate, temperature, blood pressure, activity) using connected objects developed by the company WITHINGS. This daily monitoring, which can be transmitted by patients to the doctors in charge of their surveillance, will improve the quality and safety of home monitoring.

Athletes in martial arts compete in categories separated by body weight, hence, many athletes need to adjust their habitual body weight during periods with competition preparation. Athletes competing in weight sensitive sports are previously identified with an increased risk for symptoms of low energy availability and of disordered eating. The methods used for body weight regulation are varied, and athletes without professional competent support, are prone to rely on harmful methods. And of importance, female athletes respond more negatively to attempts of body weight reduction with regards to health effects. Athletes of martial art are not surrounded by the same professional competence seen in other organized sports within the international sport federations, and specifically health competence is lacking. Additionally, numbers of females competing in martial art have increased the last decade, but they still practice in a sport culture dominated by males; both with reference to the high number of male participants, and with reference to the coaches within this sport. Sports involving practice in intimate, physical interaction with coaches or opposing athletes, and in sports where clothing is minimal, may be a high risk of experiences of sexual harassment. There have been a few reports on harmful methods of body weight regulation within martial arts, however, little knowledge exists on the practice by female martial art athletes, and the related health effects. Information on experiences of sexual harassment have been sparse in sport generally, with very little knowledge from sports like martial arts specifically. This study aims to explore the practice of female martial art athletes on body weight regulation, recovery strategies, their body acceptance and symptoms of eating disorders, and any experiences of sexual harassment. Additionally, with regards to the recent onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, this study also explores the related experiences by the athletes on training- and eating routines.

The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of establishing severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) testing at a federally-qualified health center (FQHC) during a global health crisis to mitigate COVID-19 disparities in socioeconomically disadvantaged populations.

The purpose of this study is to determine if there may be COVID-19 virus in various samples collected from mothers and infants.

Electronic-nose had been used to diagnose other infectious lung diseases, such as tuberculosis. Universitas Gadjah Mada has developed an electronic-nose device which is easy-to-use, portable, and can be manufactured at a low price. Here the investigators test the electronic-nose to diagnose COVID-19 in Indonesia.

This study investigate the kinetics of IgG responses to both N and S proteins in the subjects who suffered from COVID 19 and then had recovered.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate if using nasal irrigation, also known as nasal lavage, for 14 days after a positive test in high risk patients can reduce the severity of symptoms associated with COVID-19. Nasal lavage consists of running salt water in one nostril and out the other to get rid of germs. Nasal irrigation was done with either Betadine or baking soda to determine if adding an antimicrobial or changing the pH of the mucous helped. Hospitalization and death were compared for combined nasal irrigation groups to the CDC dataset of patients aged 50+
