Diarrhea remains a leading cause of death among young children, with the majority of diarrhea deaths occurring in low- and middle-income countries. Childhood diarrhea caused by a type of bacteria called "Shigella" is responsible for an estimated 60,000 deaths each year and may cause particularly severe illness among children. Currently, there are several promising vaccines to prevent Shigella diarrhea in development, but key information is still needed to inform future vaccine studies. The purpose of this study, titled Enterics for Global Health (or the "EFGH"), is to determine the number and rate of new cases of Shigella diarrhea among children 6 to 35 months of age presenting to health facilities with diarrhea or dysentery. Over a two-year period, the EFGH study will enroll 1,400 children from each of the seven countries: Peru, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Mali, Malawi, Kenya, and The Gambia (9,800 children total).
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate possible differences in airway responses and interventions during intravenous anesthesia for direct laryngoscopy in children when comparing two oxygenation methods (conventional low flow oxygen supplementation via nasopharyngeal tube versus Nasal High Flow Therapy with the OptiflowTM system ).
One of the most important points in sleep health is the sleep habits of children. Natural disasters cause sleep problems in children, increase or decrease in sleep duration, change in sleep habits and adversely affect sleep quality. According to Erikson's theory of psychosocial development, children aged 3-6 are entrepreneurs. It is the period when children begin to learn and apply the rules, and independence efforts are developed in the child. Negative sleep behaviors and sleep problems are common during this period, but children can develop positive sleep habits if properly and consistently guided by their parents. Rituals such as fairy tales, lullabies, night lamps, toys can help children relax and calm down and gain sleep habits.
The main purpose of the master is to help the research sites and sponsor carry out several clinical trials more efficiently by providing a common research protocol. Individual clinical trials under this master protocol define drug/disease-specific research goals and activities to test them. New studies will be added as new drugs emerge against different cancers. Participation in the trial will depend on how long the benefit lasts.
The primary objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate the performance of three pulse oximeters during outpatient care within Cape Town, South Africa. This objective will be achieved through generating evidence on how, why, for whom, to what extent and at what cost can paediatric pulse oximetry devices improve the management of hypoxemic children. This will be done with two inter-linked studies: - Aim 1: Determine the impact of two novel paediatric pulse oximeter devices on the correct management of hypoxaemia. If the investigators find these devices improve healthcare worker assessments and decision making, it could improve clinical outcomes for children in low-resource contexts. - Aim 2: Describe the burden of hypoxaemia and risks for mortality amongst children presenting with acute respiratory infections in a low-resource setting in Cape Town. By establishing the burden and need, a clearer investment case for pulse oximetry can be made for this context.
This research adopts the uniform parallel hybrid research design; The quantitative data and qualitative data were collected at the same time, and then the quantitative and qualitative data were analyzed respectively. Finally, the two data sets were combined. Comprehensive interpretation of the study issues through complementarity and mutual validation of quantitative and qualitative data.
50 children/adolescents (ages 6 to <18yrs) with T1D in suboptimal control (HbA1c≥8.0%) and lower SES (below 200% poverty line) on insulin therapy (either injections or open-loop pumps) will be recruited at Nemours ~ 1/3 each AA, Hispanic/Latino, non-Hispanic whites. All families that qualify and agree to transition to closed-loop technologies will be recruited to allow data to be gathered before and after use of devices. They will go through the process of approval with the assistance of an insurance navigator in clinic. Those not a CGM will be prescribed one as well. Diabetes care will be 'real life', devices will be prescribed, and care per clinic routine with periodic device downloads. Principal outcome, time-in-range, will be analyzed at 3-months compared to baseline, each participant their own control. Secondary outcomes including HbA1c, other glucose metrics and questionnaires related to use of technology and diabetes distress will be also analyzed. All outcomes will also be collected at 6-months. Results could have important and fast applicability to the field and help better inform decision makers, including payers, clinicians, and patients and families and could serve to decrease health care disparities in this needy population.
Peppermint oil has shown to be effective in the treatment of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) symptoms in adults. Few studies of low quality are performed in an paediatric setting. Therefore, the investigators will conduct a multicenter randomized, placebo controlled trial to investigate the effects of an eight-week peppermint oil treatment in paediatric IBS or Functional Abdominal Pain - Not otherwise specified (FAP-NOS) patients.
This study aims to investigate the changes in saliva and dental plaque pH after consuming sugar-free chewing gum containing 5% of aqueous propolis in children aged between 8-11 years. The studied sample will be divided into two groups: Group A (Control group) placebo chewing gum, and Group B (Experimental group) aqueous propolis chewing gum. All children will experience both types of chewing gum with an interval of 1 week between the two studied groups.
