Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to compare healthy children between 1 to 3 years old. The main question it aims to answer is 1. Is there an effect towards fecal quality after consuming milk formula supplemented with the triple Bifidobacteria strains (Bifidobacterium longum BB536, Bifidobacterium breve M-16V, and Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis M-63)? 2. Is there an effect towards short-chain fatty acid composition after consuming milk formula supplemented with the triple Bifidobacteria strains (Bifidobacterium longum BB536, Bifidobacterium breve M-16V, and Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis M-63)? 3. Is there an effect towards clinical profile after consuming milk formula supplemented with the triple Bifidobacteria strains (Bifidobacterium longum BB536, Bifidobacterium breve M-16V, and Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis M-63)? The clinical trial period started off with all the participants consuming a milk formula three times a day, for 14 days as a baseline period. Afterwards, the participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups: probiotic and placebo. Following the baseline period, participants in the probiotic group consumed formulated milk supplemented with the triple Bifidobacteria strains, while the placebo group ingested the same formulated milk without adding triple Bifidobacteria strains for 90 days. Researchers will compare the probiotic and placebo groups to see if there are any effects towards the fecal quality, short-chain fatty acid level and clinical profile after consuming the milk formula.
The purpose of this study to assess the longitudinal changes in left atrial strain and supraventricular arrhythmia burden after chemotherapeutic strategies in cardiac light chain amyloidosis.
This study intends to investigate the negative emotions, fear-avoidance beliefs, and quality of life in patients with chronic ankle sprains to explore the relationship between negative emotions such as anxiety and depression, fear-avoidance beliefs, and their impact on quality of life.
Muscle strain injuries are a particularly frequent type of sports injury in soccer, athletics, badminton/ tennis and cross-fit fitness, thereby affecting a broad range of popular leisure time activities. Depending on severity, sports-active individuals may experience long-term functional impairment and pain. Additionally, individuals having sustained one strain injury have a substantially increased risk of injuring the same muscle again. Strain injuries lead to long-term, potentially permanent, loss of muscle mass, thereby weakening the muscle. Muscle atrophy is likely a major factor in the high re-injury risk. Further, strain injuries are associated with a long-term inflammatory response. In the current study, the investigators seek to study interventions to prevent the loss of muscle mass and elaborate on strategies to address the prolonged inflammation observed at the site of the injured muscle. The primary aim of this study is to investigate the effect of protein supplementation on the reduction of muscle atrophy following a severe muscle strain injury in comparison to a carbohydrate supplement. As a second purpose, this study aims to elaborate on findings of prolonged inflammation intra-/ intermuscular by large-scale protein analysis and the characterization of cells active at the site of injury. The study includes the following hypotheses: 1. Protein supplementation administered in combination with a gradually increasing loading regime (rehabilitation with weekly progression in load/ intensity) will be effective in reducing the injury-related loss of muscle mass. 2. The environment at the site of injury is not only pro-inflammatory, but contains proteins associated with proteolysis. 3. Cells belonging to the group of fibro-adipogenic progenitors will be accumulating intra- and inter-muscularly.
This study evaluates the effectiveness of pain guided early weight bearing as a means to enhance the outcome of acute lateral ankle sprain. Half of the participants will receive advice and instructions in pain guided early weight bearing plus a written home-based exercise program, while the other half will receive advice and instructions following standard operating procedures at site.
Lateral ankle sprains (LAS) and chronic ankle instability (CAI) are common musculoskeletal injuries that are a result of inversion injury during sport. The midfoot is frequently involved during inversion injury, is often overlooked during clinical examination, and maybe contributory to the development of CAI. The purpose of this study is to investigate multisegmented foot motion using a motion capture system, clinical joint physiological and accessory motion, and morphologic foot measurements in recreationally active men and women with and without a history of lateral ankle sprains and chronic ankle instability. Additionally, the effects of a joint mobilization intervention in patients with diminished multisegmented foot motion and intrinsic foot strengthening in healthy individuals will be investigated.
The overall goal of this project is to reduce the risk for anterior cruciate ligament injuries by designing a targeted intervention that will alter the known kinematic and kinetic risk factors associated with ACL injuries. This study will address the following specific aims: 1) To optimize a wearable, targeted, active training feedback device to reduce the risk of ACL injury among healthy subjects by inducing patterns of movement that alter the known kinematic and kinetic risk factors associated with ACL injuries. 2) To evaluate the efficacy of the active device and determine if the device reduces the risk of ACL injury among healthy subjects by effectively inducing patterns of movement that alter the known kinematic and kinetic risk factors associated with ACL injuries.
