    Abstract In March of 2020 our team of researchers developed and opened three clinical trials to investigate hydroxychloroquine as prophylaxis or treatment for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We simultaneously built corresponding Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) projects for these low-touch, remote trials that relied on participant-reported data. REDCap has built-in features that support pragmatic, internet-based studies, and REDCap is flexible enough to allow creative solutions for specific trials. We describe challenges, choices, and suggestions based on our experience with REDCap for our COVID-19 trials.

    Abstract We report a real-world experience using fluvoxamine for coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) in a prospective cohort in the setting of a mass outbreak. Overall, 65 persons opted to receive fluvoxamine (50 mg twice daily) and 48 declined. Incidence of hospitalization was 0% (0 of 65) with fluvoxamine and 12.5% (6 of 48) with observation alone. At 14 days, residual symptoms persisted in 0% (0 of 65) with fluvoxamine and 60% (29 of 48) with observation.

    Abstract Purpose of review: This review highlights the difficulties in diagnosing and treating persons with a prior history of cryptococcal meningitis who improve but suffer from a recurrence of symptoms. This scenario is well known to those who frequently care for patients with cryptococcal meningitis but is not well understood. We highlight major gaps in knowledge.
    Recent findings: We recently summarized our experience with 28 persons with paradoxical immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) and 81 persons with microbiological relapse. CD4 count and cerebrospinal fluid white blood cell count were higher in IRIS than relapse but neither was reliable enough to routinely differentiate these conditions. Second-episode cryptococcal meningitis remains a difficult clinical scenario as cryptococcal antigen, while excellent for initial diagnosis has no value in differentiating relapse of infection from other causes of recurrent symptoms. Updated research definitions are proposed and rapid, accurate diagnostic tests are urgently needed.

    Abstract Background: Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) presents as unintentional urine leakage associated with activities. It significantly affects quality of life (QoL) and is the most common type of incontinence in women. Current treatment options, particularly non-surgical therapies, are lacking.
    Objective: To assess the efficacy of mechanotherapy provided by the Flyte
    Design: This was a randomized, controlled, double-blinded trial.
    Materials and methods: Flyte is a repeat use device for conditioning and strengthening the pelvic floor muscles (PFMs). It provides two-part mechanotherapy. Part 1 is the stretching and preloading of the PFM from the internal wand. Part 2 integrates mechanical pulses which elicit muscle cellular and tissue level responses that trigger cellular regeneration, improve neuromuscular facilitation and motor learning. Subjects used the device for 5 min/day for 12 weeks. Subjects (144) were randomized and evaluated at 6 and 12 weeks. Arm A (72) received both Part 1 and Part 2 mechanotherapy for 12 weeks, whereas Arm B (72) received Part 1 therapy for 6 weeks, then crossed over to full therapy. Mean age was 50, 49, respectively, prior pelvic/abdominal surgery 26%, 46%, and previous incontinence treatments 13%, 22%. The primary endpoint was 24-h pad weight (24-HR PW) at 6 weeks. Secondary endpoints were 24-HR PW at 12 weeks and QoL [International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire (ICIQ), Urinary Incontinence Quality of Life (IQOL)].
    Results: Part 1 therapy had a greater than anticipated therapeutic effect. Thus, the study was underpowered to identify differences between study arms. Therefore, data were pooled to assess the effects of mechanotherapy. Twenty four-HR PW was significantly reduced at 6 weeks (
    Conclusion: Two-part mechanotherapy significantly improved 24-HR PW and QoL across all severities of SUI. Improvements were noted in as little as 2 weeks and appeared to be sustained through 2-year follow up.
    Trial registration: Registered on ClinTrials.gov (NCT02954042).
