Filter by:Introduction: The preterm newborn of extremely low birth weight (PNELW), endures adverse nutritional conditions to mimic intrauterine growth. It´s known that amino acids contribute to protein synthesis, but also intervene in weight gain. Most newborns receive amino acids throw parenteral nutrition at a doses of 3.5gr/k/day, that doses its unable to reach the birth weight when discharged, so the weight its below the 10th percentile, which rises the risk for presenting alterations in neurodevelopment. Objective: To compare a higher doses of parenteral amino acids vs. standard doses, expecting an increased weight gain in the high amino acid doses group, meanwhile following the renal function security profile Methods: A randomize, single blind clinical trial, carried on, in the Neonatology Service of Unidad Medica de Alta Especialidad Numero 48 of the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, in the city of Leon, Mexico. Between the period of 1st August 2012 to 31 January 2013. A standard doses of amino acids was administered (3.5gr) to a control group and a high doses (4gr) to an experimental group. Weight, urea, creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were measured weekly. In the study were included all preterm newborns (PN) weighting less than 1500 grs and with less than 32 weeks of gestational age that match all the inclusion criteria. Statics Analysis: descriptive statistics were calculates, also chi2 test and Fisher Exact test were applied to categorical variables, t-student test to continuous variables, and ANOVA in multiple groups.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether alerting primary care providers by email about low values of BMI, HbA1c% or cholesterol will affect treatment and improve overall survival and other health indexes of people older than 75 years.
Hypothesis : At hospital discharge for home, the medical prescription of ONS according to the official criteria of SSNC and the legal regulations (completed prescription according to health's insurance and homecare delivery) dictates the compliance of the patient and the reimbursement of the ONS.
Melghat is poorly developed tribal area in India with very high child mortality & malnutrition prevalence (grossly inadequate medical facilities). Important health problems. Malnutrition , Pneumonia, Tuberculosis, Anaemia, Malaria, Diarrhoea, Premature and L. B. W. babies, Neonatal sepsis, Feeding problem, Birth asphyxia. The investigators developed a Home Based Child Care (HBCC) model to reduce neonatal mortality rate (NMR), infant mortality rate (IMR), under 5 mortality rate (U5MR) and severe malnutrition(SM) in this region. Melghat. Need of project : Melghat is known for highest U5MR in Maharashtra. Overall aims and importance of the research:. The results obtained in this area will be applicable for reducing children mortality and malnutrition in other parts of Melghat and all other tribal areas of India. Methodology: RCT-Home based child care (HBCC) by trained village health workers .(ARI, Diarrhoea, Malaria clinically & Neonatal care) in 19 villages. Strengthening of existing government ICDS and health system. Melghat. Need of project : Melghat is known for highest U5MR in Maharashtra. Overall aims and importance of the research:.

The aim of this study is to assess the benefit of a 3-month intervention with oral nutritional supplements (ONS) in older ambulant patients with reference to functional limitations and quality of life as well as the consumption of health care resources.
In the prevention of thrombosis related to catheter placement it is important to have a right position of the catheter tip. Therefor we want to assess which technique is the most successful in the placing of a PICC.
Research goals include evaluating the relative impact of maternal nutritional status versus recent dietary intake on breast milk micronutrient composition, and evaluating the impact of a maternal lipid based nutrient supplement (LNS) on breast milk micronutrient composition.
Cash transfer, aims to strengthen food security for vulnerable households by giving families enough purchasing power to consume an adequate and balanced diet, maintain a good standard of hygiene, access health services, and invest in their own means of food production in addition to their children's growth and development. While cash transfer to vulnerable households has shown a long-term positive impact on growth and on malnutrition-related mortality in children aged 0-5 years, there is little conclusive evidence their effectiveness in Sub-Saharan Africa that cash transfer has a direct effect on the Community-based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM). Here, the investigators will perform a cluster-randomized trial to investigate during 6 months the effects of unconditional cash transfers on the management of severe acute malnutrition (SAM) in children from 6 to 59 months according to the national protocol in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Present study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of the nutritional intervention, in the SAM (Severe Acute malnutrition)children by monitoring various Anthropometric,Biochemical ,Hormonal and Enzymatic parameters before and after the nutritional intervention treatment.This study was also intended to study possible functional role of gene HRI (heme regulated inhibitor) as a molecular marker for the early detection of iron deficiency anemia in malnourished children similarly present study has also tried to find anthropometric marker and different correlations among study parameters.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of a new device that may be used for the evaluation and management of malnourished infants and children. The device will measure the levels of two hormones made by fat tissue: leptin and adiponectin.
