Mouth Rinses for Inactivation of COVID-19

Randomized, double-blind prospective trial to test the efficacy and acceptability of therapeutic, antiseptic mouth rinses to inactivate severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) in saliva of COVID-19 positive patients aged 18-65 years old. All mouthrinses are commercially available and will be used according to on-label instructions. Patients will be randomized to a mouthrinse and will be asked to give a saliva sample immediately before and after a one minute mouthwash. Saliva samples will be collected from patients at 15 minute intervals thereafter up to an hour (15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes). The samples will be stored and used for real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) detection of viral SARS-CoV-2 RNA and viral infectivity assays. Patients will also complete a short-survey on the taste and experience of using the mouthwash. This study involves 480 subject participants and one, 75-90 minute visit.

Effect of Respiratory Exerciser on Pulmonary Functions of COVID-19 Patients

COVID-19 infection is the cause of the current pandemic, responsible for loss of life and disability at a rate unseen before. Among survivors, the infection may cause lasting damage, such as permanent loss of lung function. This study aims to investigate if pulmonary rehabilitation done via supportive devices may reduce or prevent lung function injury. Patients will be chosen among COVID-19 patients who require hospitalization. Patients then will be divided into two groups, those who had used said devices, and compare them to those who had not used them for any reason. After a month, two groups will be evaluated by respiratory function tests, which are expected to provide the results required for a proper comparison. Pulmonary rehabilitation provided by the supportive devices is expected to either lessen or eliminate a loss of pulmonary function over time, compared to the group who did not use them.

Nitric Oxide Therapy for COVID-19 Patients With Oxygen Requirement

Preliminary data support the effect of Nitric Oxide (NO) on improving the oxygenation in mechanically ventilated patients and spontaneously breathing patients with COVID-19. In vitro studies showed an antiviral effect of NO against SARS-coronavirus. The optimal therapeutic regimen of NO gas in spontaneously breathing hypoxemic patients with COVID-19 is not known. We hypothesize that high concentration inhaled NO with an adjunct of continuous low dose administration between the high concentration treatments can be safely administered in hypoxemic COVID-19 patients compared to the high dose treatment alone. Prolonged administration of NO gas may benefit the patients in terms of the severity of the clinical course and time to recovery. Together with a clinical effect on ventilation-perfusion matching, a prolonged regimen would allow also an increase in antiviral activity (dose and time-dependent).

Spironolactone and Dexamethasone in Patients Hospitalized With COVID-19

The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome CoronaVirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a rapidly spreading infection of the respiratory tract. Most infected patients have either asymptomatic disease or mild symptoms. However, a proportion of patients, especially elderly men or patients with comorbidities, are at risk of developing acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). ARDS, alongside clotting abnormalities, is known to be a major contributor to SARS-CoV-2-related mortality and admission to intensive care units, with evidenced effective preventative treatment options lacking. In this study, the investigators test a novel hypothesis that the use of a combination of spironolactone and dexamethasone at low doses will improve the clinical progression of the infection evaluated by the 6-point ordinal scale in patients with moderate and severe disease by blocking exocytosis of the Weibel-Palade bodies from endothelial cells.

Quality of Life and Patient-centered Outcomes After ICU Admission for COVID-19

Patients suffering from pneumonia due to SARS-CoV-2 infection, after admission to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), are susceptible to development of various functional sequelae, increased risk of chronic diseases, increased mortality rates and existence of relevant impacts on their quality of life in the months and years that follow the ICU admission. The present study aims to assess the determinants of health-related quality of life and patient-centered long-term outcomes among patients recovered from SARS-COV-2 pneumonia, after discharge from the ICU, its determinants and predictors, in Portugal. It is a multicenter prospective cohort study of adult patients admitted at the ICU due to proven or suspected SARS-CoV-2 infection, included 90 days after discharge from the ICU. The primary outcome is one-year health-related quality of life assessed by the EQ-5D-3L. The secondary outcomes are all-cause mortality, rehospitalizations, return to work or study, the degree of dependence and functional capacity, symptoms of anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress, level of physical activity and cognitive, renal and respiratory functions after ICU discharge. Investigators will collect data by means of structured telephone interviews, at a 12 months follow up period.

Evaluate the Impact, Safety, Tolerability and Immunogenicity of the Coronavac Vaccine in Kidney Transplant Recipients

Since the beginning of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, 1031 (8.7%) of the 11875 kidney transplant recipients being followed up at Hospital do Rim have been infected. The overall lethality rate was 24%, reaching 53% among those over 70 years old. Among the survivors, there is also a high incidence of renal dysfunction with loss of the renal graft and definitive return to dialysis. Patients receiving pharmacological immunosuppression, including transplant recipients, have not been included in the studies carried out to date. In addition, kidney transplant recipients may have reduced vaccine responses compared to the general population. The severity, the high incidence of renal dysfunction and loss of renal graft, and the high lethality associated with COVD-19 justify the investigation of the epidemiological impact and immunogenicity of the vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Renal Involvement in Hospitalized Children With COVID-19

Covid-19 is an important human and animal pathogen, it mostly causes respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms. Clinical features range from a common cold to severe diseases such as severe acute respiratory distress syndrome, bronchitis, pneumonia, multi-organ failure, and even death. It seems to be less commonly affecting children and to cause fewer symptoms and less severe disease in this age group compared with adults. Clinicians have observed many extrapulmonary manifestations of COVID-19, as hematologic, cardiovascular, renal, gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary, endocrinologic, neurologic, ophthalmologic, and dermatologic systems can all be affected. This retrospective study that will be conducted at Hamad General Hospital in Qatar, aims to determine the renal involvement in all pediatric patients who were hospitalized with COVID-19 from March 1, 2020, to January 1, 2021.
