Acute diarrhea is the third cause of infant mortality in the world causing 15% of all deaths in children under 5 years and is responsible for nearly 1.4 million deaths in developing countries. It is considered a self-limiting disease and to this problem the recommendation of the World Health Organization (WHO) is the administration of zinc with low osmolarity oral dehydration salts for a period of 10-14 days which reduces the severity of the episode. In Mexico COFEPRIS believes the zinc salt as a food supplement and not a drug and the above problem is presented in terms of prescribing and access of this salt to the general population. In Mexico the investigators have the provision and accessibility of low osmolarity oral dehydration salts supplemented with adequate doses of zinc, which is inexpensive for the general population and offering a solution in terms of supply and management. The purpose of the study involves the evaluation Pedialyte diarrhea in the treatment of acute diarrhea in children under 5 years. The investigator sconsider the use of Pedialyte diarrhea eases their access to the population in general and it is low cost compared with the zinc salt that is sold only in specialized pharmacies under strict medical prescription Objective: Compare the duration of symptoms of acute diarrhea in the treatment with low osmolarity oral rehydration salts (Pedialyte) vs treatment of low osmolarity oral rehydration supplemented with zinc (Pedialyte diarrhea) Study Desing: Double blind, randomized, controlled.
The combined administration of high dose of oral betamethasone and nebulization of adrenaline seems to be an attractive therapeutic alternative for reducing the rate of hospitalization for acute bronchiolitis treated in the emergency department. However, it is essential to confirm the trend previously observed with this treatment before using it in current practice.
There is ample evidence that pain in children is under recognized and under treated. This is especially true for acute abdominal pain, a common complaint in the paediatric emergency department. Clinicians often fear that analgesia will obscure the diagnosis of a potentially surgical condition. As a result, acute abdominal pain goes untreated in many children, as there is no standard of care. Hyoscine N-butylbromide (Buscopan) has been used successfully in adults and children for pain associated with urinary tract infections and kidney stones for over 60 years. However, no study has explored its usefulness in relieving acute abdominal pain in children. The objectives of this study are to investigate to what degree Buscopan is effective in relieving abdominal pain in children compared to acetaminophen.
The purpose of this study is to examine whether increased dairy intake, at the level recommended by Canada's Food Guide, combined with healthy eating and exercise, will improve body composition and bone turnover over 12 weeks in overweight and obese girls.
This study evaluates the global quality of life of foreign born adopted children, one to seven years following their arrival in France. Investigators will assess global health, behavior, school integration for each child who arrived in France between 2008 and 2013, through an online anonymous survey. Investigators, then, will identify variables associated with a lower quality of life in order to improve the support offered to the children.
1. Compare physical activity and cognitive functions between children having cardiac surgery with an age-matched group of children undergoing non-cardiac surgery, as well as otherwise healthy siblings or best buddies (or age and gender-matched children if no siblings or best buddies available) before surgery and after surgery or six months following initial assessment. 2. Determine the effects of a structured physical activity program for 6 months following surgery on cognitive functions and adaptive behavior in children following congenital cardiac surgery. 3. Determine the effects of a structured physical activity program for 12 months following surgery on cognitive functions and adaptive behavior in children following congenital cardiac surgery. 4. We will perform exploratory analysis to determine whether any effects of a 12-months structured physical activity program on cognitive functions and adaptive behavior persist beyond 12 months after cessation of the program.
Viral self-limiting infections in respiratory organs among children are common in primary care. Serious infections have low prevalence and are challenging to distinguish from self-limiting infections. Prescription of antibiotics in primary care is still high but stable since 2009 in Norway, and 90% of all antibiotics are prescribed in primary care. C-reactive protein (CRP) has been especially popular in Norway for point-of-care testing in primary care, but its role in ruling-out serious infections and the cut-off value for prescribing antibiotics has been discussed a lot. The aim of this study is to identify if pretesting with CRP of all children 0-6 year with fever or respiratory symptoms at Out-of-Hours Services will affect the prescription of antibiotics and the referral to hospital for children.
The Asthma Action at Erie Trial compares the current best practice in asthma self-management education (certified asthma educator services) to an integrated community health worker (CHW) home intervention in which the real-life challenges of patients and the health care system are taken fully into account. This trial will provide clarity as to the expected effect size, cost savings, and resources needed to integrate asthma CHWs into clinical practice.
What is the optimal maintenance dose of remifentanil to ensure apnoea, during breath hold episodes in children having cardiac MR imaging with general anaesthesia?
