Effectiveness

How Acticlate Affects PatientsDoxycycline and other tetracyclines work by preventing bacteria from making proteins, which keeps them from growing. These antibiotics are effective against a wide range of bacteria and are often resistant to other antibiotics. Doxycycline is able to penetrate cells, so it can reach bacteria that are otherwise hard to reach, and also has anti-parasitic and anti-inflammatory properties. It has been used to treat a variety of skin conditions such as bullous dermatoses and rosacea.
How Acticlate works in the bodyDoxycycline works to stop bacteria from making proteins they need to survive. It binds to the ribosomal subunit of bacteria, blocking the amino acid-RNA molecules from attaching to the mRNA-ribosome complex. This prevents bacteria from making the proteins they need to survive and function, ultimately killing them. It also works to reduce inflammation by preventing leukocyte movement and blocking nitric oxide, a molecule that helps create inflammation.

When to interrupt dosage

The recommended measure of Acticlate is contingent upon the diagnosed condition, such as Urethritis, Chlamydia trachomatis and Respiratory Tract Infections. The degree of dosage varies, in correspondence with the technique of administration (e.g. Capsule or Syrup - Oral) detailed in the table beneath.

Acticlate for Acne
I began to experience negative side effects after the first two days of taking Acticlate. Headaches, excessive thirst, and general feelings of sickness like those associated with the flu. However, I have not had a fever and my acne does seem to be improving. Today, I have lost my appetite entirely.

Acticlate for Acne
I've just started taking the name brand version of this medication and so far I haven't had any issues. It's always best to take medicine with food, that way if there are any side effects they can be slept off. Also, it's important to note that dairy, antacids or iron products will neutralize the effectiveness of the medication if consumed within an hour before or after taking the medicine.

Acticlate for Acne
I was on the 75 mg for about a year, but it didn't help my acne. My derm then increased the dosage to 150mg, which made my skin worse before it supposedly got better. Six months later and I'm still dealing with breakouts that are worse than when I was on the lower dose.

Educational Tool for Urinary Tract Infections

18+
All Sexes
Houston, TX
Urine culture is the most common microbiological test in the outpatient setting in the United States. Unfortunately, contamination during collection is prevalent and undermines test accuracy, leading to incorrect diagnosis, unnecessary treatment, wasted laboratory resources, and inflated costs. Unnecessary antibiotic treatment increases the risk of developing antimicrobial resistance, one of the most serious threats to patients and public health. The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether a bilingual (English and Spanish) educational intervention, an animated video and pictorial flyer, can reduce urine culture contamination and associated inappropriate antibiotic use in adult patients visiting safety-net primary care clinics. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does providing patients with a bilingual educational intervention reduce urine culture contamination rates? 2. Does the intervention lead to fewer unnecessary urinary antibiotic prescriptions? 3. Does providing patients with a bilingual educational intervention reduce contaminated urinalyses? Researchers will compare patients randomized to receive the educational intervention (video and flyer) to those receiving usual care to see if the intervention improves urine collection accuracy and reduces inappropriate antibiotic use. Participants will watch a short, animated video with step-by-step instructions for proper midstream clean-catch urine (MSCC) collection, receive a pictorial flyer (with stills from the video) reinforcing the instructions, and provide a urine sample for culture. For our hypothesis, patients who receive the educational intervention will have: lower urine culture contamination rates (primary outcome), fewer urinary antibiotic prescriptions (secondary outcome), and fewer contaminated urinalyses (secondary outcome). The objectives are to (1) develop educational tools: Create an animated video and pictorial flyer with step-by-step urine collection instructions for women and men, developed through an iterative, stakeholder-engaged process, (2) assess acceptability: Use mixed methods (quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews) to evaluate and refine the tools for usability and cultural/linguistic appropriateness, and (3) test effectiveness: Conduct a randomized controlled trial to assess the intervention's impact on urine contamination rates, antibiotic prescribing, and patient satisfaction.

Catheterization Methods for Postpartum Urinary Problems

18+
All Sexes
Pittsburgh, PA
At least ten percent of patients have postpartum urinary retention or difficulty urinating after birth, which can cause incontinence and other urinary problems long-term. After getting an epidural placed, patients should be numb in their pelvic region. This numbness makes it difficult to feel the need to urinate, so patients need a urinary catheter placed to empty the bladder. Some patients have one catheter placed throughout their labor and others have a catheter placed to empty the bladder then removed every few hours. The investigators are studying whether placing a catheter once or catheterizing multiple times affects the rate of postpartum urinary problems and infection.

Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole for Urinary Tract Infections

13 - 29
All Sexes
San Francisco, CA
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a common antibiotic called trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) can help prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children and young adults who recently had a kidney transplant. Most people take TMP-SMX for about 6 months after getting a kidney transplant. In this study, researchers want to see what happens if people keep taking it for 6 more months. The main questions this study is asking are: * Does TMP-SMX lower the number of UTIs in the first year after transplant? * What side effects or problems do participants have while taking TMP-SMX? Researchers will compare TMP-SMX to a placebo (a look-alike pill that does not contain any medication) to see if TMP-SMX works to prevent UTIs. Participants will: * Take either TMP-SMX or a placebo pill by mouth every day for 6 months * Have three visits to touch base with the study team about any issues * Complete short monthly online surveys about any symptoms or side effects * Share blood and urine test results from their regular transplant clinic visits

AI Diagnostic Support for Ear Infections

6 - 24
All Sexes
Pittsburgh, PA
Ear infections are common in young children with cold symptoms, but they can be difficult to diagnose due to small ear canals, child movement, and limited viewing time. In this study, investigators will take photos of the eardrums of children 6-24 months of age with upper respiratory symptoms. The photos will be reviewed by imaging software enhanced with artificial intelligence (AI app) to determine whether the AI app changes how ear infections are diagnosed and treated. The AI app has undergone rigorous study and was found to be highly accurate; but how using this technology affects the diagnosis and treatment by clinicians has not been studied. This research may help improve diagnostic accuracy for ear infections and ensure antibiotics are prescribed only for those children who have definite ear infections.

Methenamine for Urinary Tract Infection

18 - 100
Female
Morristown, NJ
Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) affects at least 40% of women in the United States. Synthetic polypropylene mid-urethral slings (MUS) are the gold standard treatment for SUI. Post-operative urinary tract infections (UTI) are one of the most common complications after MUS placement. Some studies have demonstrated that MUS placement can increase the risk of UTI up to 21-34%. Post-operative UTI can lead to significant healthcare and patient burden. This additional burden further contributes to an estimated annual cost of $1.6 billion for UTI management in the United States. With increased antibiotic usage, there is simultaneous increase in bacterial resistance leading to treatment refractory UTI. The investigators prescribe post-operative antibiotics prophylactically for 3 days after MUS placement with or without concurrent pelvic reconstructive surgery based on prior literature recommending post-operative prophylaxis. There is a greater emphasis on limiting antibiotic use given the trend of development of bacterial resistance. There are studies supporting alternatives such as methenamine for recurrent UTI prophylaxis treatment, but there are limited studies evaluating methenamine for UTI prophylaxis after MUS.

Rapid Testing for Upper Respiratory Tract Infection

18+
All Sexes
Philadelphia, PA
The goal of this study is to understand the use of point of care (POC) testing devices in primary care offices to help clinicians diagnose and appropriately treat patients who have symptoms of upper respiratory infections (URIs). The study will use the BIOFIRE® SPOTFIRE® Respiratory (R) Panel testing device, which is FDA-cleared and CLIA-Waived. This panel can identify up to 15 different viruses and bacteria that can cause URIs. These POC devices will be installed in primary care clinics within the University of Pennsylvania Health System. Patients who come to the clinic with cold-like symptoms (runny nose, cough) will be offered the test. If the patient agrees to the test, their clinician will use a swab to take a small sample of fluid from their nose. This swab will then be tested within the POC device and results will be available within 15 minutes. The results of this sample will be shared with the patient, and their clinician can use the results to help decide the most appropriate medical treatment for the patient. Patients who agree to take the test will be asked to answer a short survey about the test and their experience. Clinicians will also be surveyed to share their thoughts with using the test in their clinics. Focus groups of practice staff and clinicians will also be conducted to understand any potential challenges for using this test in practice. Results from the tests and the surveys will help researchers understand the value of the test to support antibiotic stewardship efforts in primary care clinic settings.

Rapid Test for Respiratory Infections

18+
All Sexes
Washington, United States
The study titled " The Effect of Definitive Identification of Viral Etiology in Emergency Department Patients with Acute Respiratory Infection on Antibiotic Utilization (RADIATE)" aims to investigate the effectiveness of a rapid diagnostic approach in reducing unnecessary antibiotic use in the emergency department (ED) for patients presenting with acute respiratory illness (ARI) due to a virus. Using a prospective design, eligible participants are individuals who visit the ED with complaints related to acute respiratory illness. The study will employ a single-arm consecutive enrollment approach. The intervention involves the implementation of a rapid point-of-care multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test to promptly identify the viral cause of the infection. By utilizing a rapid diagnostic tool to identify viral etiology, the study aims to provide healthcare professionals in the ED with more accurate information to guide treatment decisions. Ultimately, the goal is to decrease the unnecessary use of antibiotics for ARI's due to a virus, which has several negative outcomes including promotion of antibiotic resistance, exacerbating ED length of stay and encouraging unnecessary additional diagnostic tests.
