What is Azasite

AzithromycinThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryAzithromycin is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, such as respiratory, enteric, and genitourinary infections. It belongs to the azalide class of macrolides, which have a 15-membered ring and a methyl-substituted nitrogen instead of a carbonyl group at the 9a position on the aglycone ring. This prevents its metabolism, making it more effective than other macrolide antibiotics. In 2020, a study was conducted to investigate the use of azithromycin in combination with hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19, with positive results. However

Effectiveness

How Azasite Affects PatientsMacrolides are antibiotics that work by stopping the bacteria from making proteins, which helps to treat bacterial infections. Azithromycin has been used to treat chronic inflammatory respiratory diseases, as it also helps to regulate the immune system.
How Azasite works in the bodyAzithromycin is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections. It works by preventing bacteria from producing proteins they need to survive. Specifically, it binds to the ribosome and stops it from being able to make proteins. This makes it effective against a wide range of bacteria. Azithromycin is also very stable at a low pH, meaning it stays in the body longer and can build up to higher levels in tissue than other antibiotics.

When to interrupt dosage

The prescribed measure of Azasite is contingent upon the recognized sickness, including Streptococcus Agalactiae Infection, Chlamydia trachomatis and Genus Chlamydia. The magnitude of dosage is contingent upon the technique of delivery, as detailed in the table beneath.

Azasite Toxicity & Overdose RiskAzithromycin has been found to be toxic to rats when taken orally at a dose of >2000mg/kg. Possible side effects include irregular heartbeats, hearing loss, decreased effectiveness of the drug, and rare cases of liver or kidney damage. Pregnant women should only take azithromycin if absolutely necessary, as the effects on the fetus are unknown. Nursing mothers should take caution when taking azithromycin, as it is not known if the drug is excreted in human milk. No long-term studies have been done to determine if the drug is carcinogenic or has any effects on fertility

Azasite for Pink Eye from Bacterial Infection
The packaging is really inconvenient, and you don't get enough drops to finish the treatment.

Azasite for Pink Eye from Bacterial Infection
Terrible. It was very expensive and hard to dispense and burns like hell. The other opthalmic solutions I've used for pink eye have been completely painless and effective. My doc told me this was better. Not so, my eyes still hurt 1 hour after putting these slimy drops in.

Azasite for Pink Eye from Bacterial Infection
Not only is this medication overpriced, but one container does not have enough product to finish the recommended course of treatment. In addition, this drug did nothing to ease my symptoms.

White Potatoes for Glycemic Responses

18 - 65
All Sexes
Toronto, Canada
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the interaction between white potato consumption and meal timing on glycemic response, subjective appetite, and energy intake in adults. The investigators hypothesize that white potatoes will modulate glycemic response, enhance satiety, and mitigate subsequent meal consumption and overall food intake when compared with meals containing low glycemic carbohydrates. Furthermore, they anticipate that the timing of white potato consumption will yield differential effects, with breakfast consumption exerting a more pronounced impact on satiety and subsequent food intake reduction compared to dinner consumption.

Adapted HARP for Falls Prevention

45 - 64
All Sexes
St Louis, MO
The Home Hazard Removal Program (HARP) is an effective fall prevention intervention program which targets home hazard identification/removal. In this study the investigators will examine the effectiveness and implementation potential of HARP, adapted for PwD. Investigators will conduct a pilot randomized control trial (RCT) to test the implementation, cost, and preliminary efficacy of an adapted version of HARP for community-dwelling PwD. The single-blinded feasibility RCT will randomize 40 participants to treatment (adapted HARP) and 40 to a waitlist control group. Data on specific types of fall hazards and resulting home modifications as well as falls and fall-related injuries (collected monthly over 12 months) and fear of falling (collected at baseline and 12 months) will inform the preliminary efficacy of adapted HARP among PwD. To ensure usefulness, relevance, and broad dissemination of findings, the investigators will adopt a "designing for implementation and dissemination" approach. The RE-AIM (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance) framework will guide intervention adaptation, trial design, and future implementation. The Practical Robust Implementation and Sustainability Model (PRISM) guides study development by identifying multi-level contextual factors hypothesized to affect the RE-AIM outcomes.

Voice Therapy for Age-Related Voice Change

18+
All Sexes
Arcadia, CA
This study compares how well voice therapy works when delivered in-person versus through telehealth for older adults with age-related voice problems. Researchers are testing whether Phonation Resistance Training Exercises (PhoRTE®) can be just as effective when delivered remotely as when done face-to-face, which could make treatment more accessible and affordable for seniors. The two primary hypotheses are: 1. Does voice therapy (called PhoRTE®) work as well through video calls as it does face-to-face? 2. Can online therapy be a more accessible way for older adults to get help for their voice problems? Adults aged 55 or older with voice changes and an applicable diagnosis will be randomly assigned to receive either in-person or telehealth therapy, consisting of four 45-minute sessions. After treatment, researchers will measure improvements through: * Changes in voice function * Patient reports about their voice * Scientific measurements of voice quality * Patient satisfaction with treatment * Impact on quality of life The results will help determine if telehealth can be a good alternative to in-person voice therapy, especially important as telehealth coverage may be changing.

Endotracheal Suctioning for Procedural Pain

18+
All Sexes
Loma Linda, CA
The goal of this experimental study is to understand if endotracheal tube (ETT) suctioning increases pain and causes stress on the body in intubated adult ICU patients. These patients are already on ventilators, which means they need suctioning to keep their airways clear, but this procedure may be uncomfortable and cause stress. The main questions this study aims to answer are: Does ETT suctioning raise pain levels as measured by the Critical-Care Pain Observation Tool (CPOT)? Does ETT suctioning increase certain chemicals in the blood (hypoxanthine, xanthine, and uric acid) that show stress and lack of oxygen in the body? Researchers will compare patients who have ETT suctioning (intervention group) with those who do not have suctioning during the study period (control group) to see if there are differences in pain and blood markers of stress. Participants will: Have pain measured before and after suctioning using the CPOT. Have blood samples taken from an existing line at three time points: 5 minutes before, 5 minutes after, and 30 minutes after suctioning. Provide demographic information (like age, gender, and diagnosis) from medical records. This research will help improve how pain is managed for ICU patients who cannot speak for themselves, potentially leading to better pain relief methods in the future.
