This trial tests if taking a common antibiotic (TMP/SMX) after a kidney injury can help prevent infections after you leave the hospital. It might be an option if you had acute kidney injury during your hospital stay and are being discharged to recover at home or a rehabilitation facility.
This study tests whether putting antibiotic powder directly into an open fracture wound in the emergency room can improve care outcomes. It focuses on adults treated shortly after injury.
This trial tests whether a single antibiotic (amoxicillin-clavulanate) works as well as a combination of two antibiotics (amoxicillin-clavulanate plus ciprofloxacin) for treating fever caused by chemotherapy in people with blood cancer. It aims to simplify treatment and reduce antibiotic use while still keeping you safe.
This trial tests whether giving antibiotics after draining a first-time perianal abscess can prevent a fistula (an abnormal tunnel) from forming. If you have a first abscess near the anus that needs draining, you may be able to join.
