Short Message Service Reminder Nudge for Parents and Influenza Vaccination Uptake in Children and Adolescents with Special Risk Medical Conditions: The Flutext-4U Randomized Clinical Trial

Children with chronic medical conditions are at increased risk of severe influenza. Uptake of influenza vaccination in children and adolescents with these identified special risk medical conditions is suboptimal.

Evaluating the effectiveness of the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine and clinical and demographic characteristics on pneumococcal carriage density in young children

High nasopharyngeal pneumococcal carriage density is associated with severe pneumonia; however, little is known about factors that affect pneumococcal carriage density including pneumococcal vaccination. We describe pneumococcal density by clinical and demographic factors, and effect of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) on density in Papua New Guinea (PNG), Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) and Mongolia, 3–6 years following national PCV13 introduction.

Qualitative assessment of healthy volunteer experience receiving subcutaneous infusions of high-dose benzathine penicillin G (SCIP) provides insights into design of late phase clinical studies

Secondary prophylaxis to prevent rheumatic heart disease (RHD) progression, in the form of four-weekly intramuscular benzathine benzylpenicillin G (BPG) injections, has remained unchanged since 1955. Qualitative investigations into patient preference have highlighted the need for long-acting penicillins to be delivered less frequently, ideally with reduced pain.

A Phase I/II, Multicentre, Observer-blinded, Randomized, Active Controlled, Clinical Trial to Assess the Reactogenicity, Safety and Immunogenicity of a combined Tetanus, Diphtheria, Acellular Pertussis and Poliomyelitis Vaccine (SIIPL Tdap-IPV) in Compari

We are looking for children and teenagers to take part in an important study investigating the effectiveness of a new combination booster vaccine designed to protect against tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough) and polio.

Clinical characteristics of eosinophilic asthma exacerbations

Eosinophilic asthma exacerbations may be clinically more severe than non-eosinophilic exacerbation

Clinical severity and X-chromosome inactivation

For this study, we examined how Rett syndrome characteristics can be affected by X-inactivation for 2 of the common types of mutation - p.R168X and p.T158M.

Healthy Ears Clinical Trial: A telehealth-facilitated randomised-controlled trial utilising a health promotion intervention to resolve otitis media with effusion for children won specialist Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) waiting lists

Clinical evaluation of a noninvasive alarm system for nocturnal hypoglycemia

The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of a prototype noninvasive alarm system (HypoMon) for the detection of nocturnal hypoglycemia.

Correlation between clinical severity in patients with Rett syndrome

Rett syndrome (RTT) is an X-linked dominant neurodevelopmental disorder that is usually associated with mutations in the MECP2 gene.
