Filter by:Pre-clinical animal studies provide robust evidence regarding the beneficial effect of stem cells for intestinal disease. This single-center, randomized, controlled, blinded trial assessed the effect of a single intravenous infusion of autologous cord blood MNCs (ACBMNCs) in preventing NEC in preterm neonates,and influence on growth and development.
This is a research study to determine if a particular method of providing nutrition improves the clinical outcomes of patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) who have undergone abdominal surgery and would require nutrition delivered via the bloodstream (called total parenteral nutrition or TPN). The nutrition method we are testing is a structured nutrition delivery plan that involves tube feeding, oral nutrition supplements, and the use of a device (called an indirect calorimeter or IC) to measure calorie needs. This study will also use two devices to measure fat and muscle mass to examine changes during hospitalization. Subjects will be followed throughout hospitalization where nutrition status and fat and muscle mass will be closely monitored. Study activities will begin within 72 hours of a patient's abdominal surgery. TPN (total parenteral nutrition, a method of feeding that bypasses the usual process of eating and digestion) will be started, a non-invasive method of assessing calorie needs (indirect calorimetry (IC)) will be started, a urine sample will be collected to help assist in protein needs, and fat/muscle mass will be measured using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), and an ultrasound. This is a minimal risk study and all products/devices used are non-invasive and FDA-approved. Indirect calorimetry and urine sample collection will be conducted every 3 days during the stay in the Intensive Care Unit - ICU, then every 5 days until hospital discharge. BIA and muscle ultrasound will be conducted every 7 days during ICU stay, then every 14 days until hospital discharge.
The "Cardiovascular Risk Reduction-Diet in Pregnancy" (CARRDIP) - is a randomised controlled trial with dietary intervention during pregnancy. The participants were enrolled in Norway 20 years ago and consisted of 269 pregnant, healthy mothers. The participants were randomised 1:1 to either intervention-diet or control. The intervention diet was build upon an anti-atherogenic principle and was a so called "Mediterranean diet". The participants were monitored during pregnancy, and mother and child participated in a follow-up study 1 year after birth. The current "CARRDIP20" trial is a follow-up of the same participants, both mother and offspring, 20 years after the original intervention to measure and analyse the cardiovascular health and compare the intervention group to the control group.
A physically active life with adequate and balanced nutrition is essential for a healthy life. Unhealthy diet and being physically inactive are among the common risk factors that need to be corrected in order to maintain and improve health. The Mediterranean diet, first described by Angel Keys, is rich in plant foods such as grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, oilseeds and olives; The main source of added oils is olive oil; moderate-high consumption of fish and seafood, moderate-level consumption of eggs, poultry and dairy products, and low-level red meat; It is a nutrition model with moderate intake of wine / fermented beverages (such as turnip, grape juice). Preferring vegetable oils instead of animal fats, preferring fish instead of red meat consumption, preferring low-fat / fat-free milk and dairy products, limiting the intake of simple sugar and refined carbohydrates, fruit rich in fiber and antioxidants in the Mediterranean diet, which is shown as an example of healthy nutrition today. It is thought that this type of nutrition can prevent the formation of chronic diseases due to features such as increasing vegetable consumption. Determining the nutritional status and physical activity levels of individuals and their associated health outcomes; It is very important in terms of determining the current situation and determining the priority problems that need to be solved.
we use the tools of SGA and NRS2002 to understand the nutritional status of Chinese Han inpatients during hospitalization and discharge, and to dynamically analyze the changes in the process of internal medicine and surgery in many general hospitals across Zhejiang Province.
Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are increasingly becoming interested in nonpharmacologic approaches to their disease. One of the most frequently asked questions of IBD patients is what they should eat. The role of diet has become very important in the prevention and treatment of IBD. Although there is a general lack of rigorous scientific evidence that demonstrates which diet is best for certain patients, several diets have become popular. Aim of the Work To assess IBD patients' knowledge about the role of nutrition in the management of their Inflammatory Bowel Disease and the dietary beliefs, behaviors, and daily dietary practices in adult IBD patients that they make to avoid exacerbation of disease symptoms or to gain more control of bowel symptoms, keeping in mind our traditional and oriental food and food habits in Egypt. Also to evaluate the role of one of the most common dietary regimens; the Paleolithic diet in active mild or moderate inflammatory bowel disease.
The study was planned to determine the effect of breast milk odor applied during gavage feeding on early feeding cues of preterm newborns, the transition time to oral feeding and abdominal perfusion.
A randomized controlled trial to test the effects of culturally appropriate nutrition communication delivered via different modalities for Mexican American women.
Investigators will in a crossover study test the health effects of eating a dairy-based protein-rich breakfast, isocaloric carbohydrate-rich breakfast or no breakfast in young overweight women. Determination of satiety and hunger using visual analog scores (VAS), collection of blood samples and 2x 24 hours food logs will be collected.
The Coronavirus has caused containment of more than a third of the world's population. Containment can drastically change lifestyle habits, including eating habits such as the number of meals, meal times or their composition. However, there is currently no data on the influence of confinement on eating habits.
