Filter by:This will be cohort study design with both qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection. The investigators are aiming to study 64 HIV positive children as healthy controls either initiating ART or already on ART and 86 malnourished HIV infected children on ART or naïve initiating ART and RUTF aged between 6 months to 12 years. Primary carers will be asked to provide informed consent whereby the children and primary carers will be enrolled into the study and followed up for 12 weeks.
The investigators performed two case-control studies in Niger and Senegal analysing fecal microbiota to characterize the specificity of the gut microbiota alteration associated with severe acute malnutrition (SAM).
This 6-week parallel randomised prospective dietary intervention study with type 2 Diabetes investigates the nutrition influence of animal protein in comparison to plant protein on the glucose metabolism.
Acute lower gastrointestinal dysfunction is a kind of much common complication which occurred in critically ill patients. Once it developed, enteral nutrition would be disturbed. In this study, investigators suppose that early application of a sufficient amount of pectin ahead of enteral nutrition, may promote recovery of acute lower gastrointestinal dysfunction in critically ill patients, and exert its good effect on early EN support. Investigators designed this prospective randomized controlled trial to test and evaluates the effect whether EN feeding with or without a pectin start would be safe or with advanced clinical outcomes.
Sorghum is the primary source of food for more than 300 million people in arid and semi-arid regions of Africa. The grain is one of the few crops that grow well in arid climates, but has a low content in most essential nutrients and is difficult to digest. The African Bio-fortified Sorghum (ABS) Project, a consortium of nine institutions led by Africa Harvest Biotech Foundation International, is working to develop new varieties of sorghum that are easier to digest and contain lower levels of phytates to improve the bioavailability of micronutrients. In order to determine their target levels, the ABS project needs reliable information on current levels of micronutrient deficiency and consumption patterns of sorghum and nutrients of interest, e.g. iron, zinc, and vitamin A in women and preschool children, which are not currently available in Burkina Faso. A background nutrition survey among children and women, comprised of two rounds, one in the lean season (July - August) and one in the harvest season (November - January), has been conducted to provide quantitative estimates of sorghum, vitamin A, iron and zinc intakes by women and young children from two rural provinces of Burkina Faso. The survey also had a biochemical component which included blood collection and analysis for indicators of deficiency for vitamin A, iron and zinc. Other important components of this study included anthropometric measurements, household and child morbidity questionnaires, and collection of sorghum samples for analysis of phytate, vitamin A, iron and zinc content.
This study is a superiority research to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of early use of oxycodone control release tablet for radiation mucositis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients.
This trial is conducted in the United States of America (USA). The aim of this trial is to investigate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of single doses of NNC0174-0833 in normal weight, overweight to obese but otherwise healthy male subjects.
In rodents, obesity is associated with changes in tight junctions' structure in small intestine, which impacts intestinal permeability and results in metabolic complications. Few data exist in human. We hypothesized that intestinal permeability is altered in obese subjects in comparison to lean subjects, linked to metabolic and inflammatory status and that these alterations are modified after gastric bypass.
To determine whether the consumption of a beef-rich lunch improves appetite control, satiety, and energy intake regulation while reducing food reward and food cravings compared to the consumption of a soy-rich lunch when matched for macronutrients and fiber content or when match for serving size. The mechanisms of action surrounding the differential responses of beef versus soy proteins were also explored.
The purpose of this study is to develop, implement and evaluate a psychoeducational intervention focused to improve nutritional status, specifically micronutrients, of mothers and caregivers of children between the ages of 5 and 13 years and their children through providing healthy cooking lessons in their communities.
