Trichomonas vaginitis urogenital infection

This study compares two oral treatments for trichomonas, a common sexually transmitted infection. About 1,200 women and men with a positive test will receive either a single dose of secnidazole or multiple doses of metronidazole over several days. The goal is to see which approac…

This study tests whether using early drug monitoring and a dose-adjustment calculator can help infants under 90 days old with sepsis reach target vancomycin levels more quickly. Currently, doctors must wait 24-48 hours to check drug levels, which can delay effective treatment. Th…

This study tests whether giving oral antibiotics instead of IV antibiotics is just as safe and effective for patients with common infections like pneumonia, urinary tract infections, and cellulitis. About 4,000 adults in Danish emergency rooms will be randomly assigned to start o…

This study compares two ways of giving the antibiotic cefepime to very sick patients with sepsis in the ICU. The new method adjusts the dose based on the patient's kidney function, using only standard doses. The main goal is to see if this approach is easy for doctors to use and …

This study tests whether giving zinc supplements along with standard antibiotics can reduce deaths and improve recovery in young infants (0-59 days old) hospitalized with severe infections like sepsis or pneumonia. About 3,250 babies in Tanzania will receive either zinc or a plac…

This study tests a program called Treat4All that helps people who drink heavily and are at risk for HIV or already have HIV. About 160 adults from an STI clinic in Lilongwe, Malawi, will either get the program or usual care. The goal is to see if the program reduces heavy drinkin…

This study in Uganda tests whether adding lab tests for common sexually transmitted infections (STIs) to standard HIV risk screening helps more women start and stick with PrEP, a daily pill that prevents HIV. About 4,500 HIV-negative women aged 15-39 will be randomly assigned to …

This study tests whether letting a bladder catheter fall out on its own (passive removal) is better than having a nurse pull it out (active removal) after urological surgery. 160 men will be randomly assigned to one method. Researchers will measure satisfaction, pain, and anxiety…

This study looks at how the immune system changes with age and how that affects the risk of infections in people 60 and older. Researchers will collect blood, urine, stool, and other samples from elderly patients with infections and healthy older adults. By analyzing immune cells…

This study aims to improve how doctors evaluate and manage people who have been exposed to bioterrorism agents (like anthrax) or emerging infectious diseases (like SARS or new flu strains). Up to 200 participants, including patients and healthcare workers, will be monitored and t…

This study looks at how doctors can improve antibiotic prescriptions for urinary tract infections (UTIs) after patients leave the emergency department. Researchers will check if adjusting antibiotics based on lab test results reduces the use of strong drugs like fluoroquinolones.…

This study tests a new, lightweight ultrasound device called NeoDoppler that can be gently placed on a newborn's soft spot (fontanelle) to continuously measure blood flow in the brain. Researchers will enroll 180 preterm and full-term infants, including those with conditions like…

This study is creating a large registry and biobank of 10,000 adults with various infections, such as bloodstream, heart, and bone infections. Researchers will collect medical data and biological samples to describe the infections and their treatments. The goal is to better under…

This study is looking at whether early signs of inflammation in the blood can help identify which patients with infections are at risk for serious complications like sepsis. Researchers will follow 4,200 adults with confirmed or suspected infections, as well as healthy controls, …

This study from the University of Zurich is looking at how tiny organisms (microbes) and the immune system interact in the bladder. Researchers will collect samples from 800 adults with various urinary conditions, including infections, bladder pain, and overactive bladder, as wel…

This study looks at whether using a digital sexual health survey in the emergency department helps doctors find more sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in teens aged 15-21. Researchers will compare STI detection rates when the survey is used versus standard care. The goal is …

This study looks at how the antibiotic ceftazidime avibactam behaves in 30 children with severe infections who are in intensive care, some on life support. Researchers will measure drug levels in the blood to understand the right dose. The goal is to improve treatment for life-th…

This study looks at how the antifungal medicine caspofungin behaves in children with severe infections, especially those with liver problems or on life support like ECMO. Researchers will measure drug levels in the blood to understand dosing needs. About 60 children in intensive …

This study will collect data from 2,000 children admitted to pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) with severe infections across major Chinese cities. Over 10 years, researchers will track which germs cause these infections, how they are treated, and patient outcomes. The goal i…

This study looks at two common antibiotic combinations given to hospitalized adults with infections: vancomycin plus piperacillin-tazobactam, or vancomycin plus cefepime. The goal is to see if one is less likely to cause kidney injury than the other, using more sensitive markers …

This study tests a new method to help patients understand complex spine or prostate surgeries before they agree to them. Instead of just reading a form, patients watch multimedia content and answer questions to check their understanding. The goal is to see if this approach makes …

This study looks at how well three AI models—ChatGPT, Gemini, and Deepseek—can diagnose and suggest treatments for urology diseases. Researchers will use 800 past patient records from four hospitals to check the AI's accuracy and usefulness. The goal is to understand if AI can he…

This pilot study is testing whether a smart wristband can accurately measure drug levels in sweat compared to standard blood tests. Researchers will collect sweat, saliva, and blood samples from 100 patients with chronic or infectious diseases who are taking medications like cycl…

This study is looking for new ways to diagnose sepsis, a life-threatening reaction to infection, earlier in the emergency room. Researchers will study the immune responses of 3,300 adults with suspected infections to find patterns that signal sepsis. The goal is to improve diagno…
