Acetasol for Outer Ear Inflammation caused by Allergy or Infection
I believe that this drug, which is a mix of vinegar and hydrocortisone, is being overcharged for. I've seen it work well in the past, but there are other options like floxin or ciprodex that might be worth checking out instead.

Acetasol for Inflammation of the External Ear Resembling Eczema
My husband was given this prescription in April and we paid $25 for it. The company Activas has since boosted the price to $270. Outrageous. Called the doctor who said try vinegar and hydrocortisone. This is complete abuse of the regulatory system. Ask your doctor for another solution.

I was very displeased to find that the price of this prescription has risen from $25 to an outrageous $270. When I called the doctor, they suggested using vinegar and hydrocortisone instead. If you can, avoid this product entirely and ask your doctor for a different solution; don't support Activas's predatory behavior by buying their overpriced medication.

gp91 Grans for Chronic Granulomatous Disease

18 - 75
Male
Bethesda, MD
Background: CGD is caused by a gene mutation. For people with CGD, their cells cannot kill germs well, so they can get frequent or life-threatening infections. Researchers want to see if a new procedure can help a person s cells kill germs for a short time. It uses messenger RNA (mRNA) to deliver correct instructions for the gene mutation to the cells. Objective: To test a procedure in which mRNA is added to a person s blood cells. Eligibility: Males aged 18-75 with CGD with a mutation in the gene that makes the protein gp91phox. Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Blood and urine tests Swab to test for strep throat Some screening tests will be repeated during the study. Participants will be admitted to the NIH Clinical Center hospital for at least 7 days. They will have apheresis. For this, a medicine is injected under their skin to prepare their white blood cells for collection. An IV line is placed into an arm vein. Blood goes through the IV line into a machine that divides whole blood into red blood cells, plasma, and white blood cells. The white blood cells are removed, and the rest of the blood is returned to the participant through an IV line in their other arm. The next day, they will get their mRNA-corrected cells via IV. They will be monitored for 3 more days. After discharge, participants will keep a symptom diary. They will be contacted weekly for one month, and then once a month. They will have a follow-up visit 3 months after the infusion.

Prostate Biopsy Techniques for Reducing Infection Risk

18+
Male
Farmington, CT
Approximately one million transrectal prostate biopsies are performed annually in the U.S., and the risk of post- biopsy infection is increasing due to greater antibiotic resistance of rectal flora. Preliminary data demonstrates that a transperineal MRI-targeted biopsy approach under local anesthesia compared to the standard practice transrectal MRI-targeted prostate biopsy has a much lower risk of infection, comparable pain/discomfort and may improve detection of prostate cancer. This randomized controlled trial will be the first prospective study to evaluate in-office transperineal MRI targeted prostate biopsy. The investigators hypothesize that a transperineal MRI-targeted biopsy approach under local anesthesia compared to the standard practice transrectal MRI-targeted prostate biopsy has a much lower risk of infection, comparable pain/discomfort and may improve detection of prostate cancer.

Improved Perioperative Preventive Measures for Surgical Site Infections

18+
All Sexes
Iowa City, IA
Surgical site infections (SSIs) are associated with increased patient morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. ESKAPE (Enterococcus, S. aureus, Klebsiella, Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, and Enterobacter spp.) pathogens are particularly pathogenic because they have increased capacity to acquire resistance and virulence traits. The investigators have proven that a multifaceted program involving improved basic perioperative preventive measures can generate substantial reductions in S. aureus transmission and significant reductions in SSIs (88% reduction as compared to usual care). In this study, the investigators aim to examine the relative effectiveness of each component of this program in controlling ESKAPE transmission and reducing SSIs and to identify an optimal implementation strategy for national dissemination. Randomization occurs at the site level, and sites adopt preventative programs. This work will improve perioperative patient safety for the 51 million patients who undergo surgery each year.

Barrier Dressing for Infections

18+
All Sexes
Ottawa, Canada
This study will evaluate the effect of an iodine impregnated barrier dressing on device pocket swab culture positivity. Minimizing contamination during the implant procedure can be one of the potential improvements to prevent CIED infections. Patients requiring a lead change, battery change or device upgrade will be eligible. This is a randomized, blinded study where participants will be randomized to having the barrier dressing applied before any incision is made (experimental group) or applying the dressing just prior to collecting the culture swab (control group). Patients and the staff taking the culture swab at the end of the procedure are blinded as to which group the participant is randomized to.
