NCT ID: NCT05077059 Completed - Clinical trials for Overweight and Obesity

Prevalence of Obesity and Overweight in Primary School Children in the Rhein-Neckar Region in Germany

Start date: October 1, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The study will determine the weight status in primary school children in the Rhein-Neckar Region in Germany and will analyse the development of height and weight in these children during the time of COVID-19 related restrictions by asking parents to provide data from childhood examinations. Additionally, interactions between cognitive abilities and weight-status will be studied.

NCT ID: NCT04851327 Completed - Undernutrition Clinical Trials

Satiation Study With Children Attending a Tertiary Feeding Clinic

Start date: May 1, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This is a pilot study of children attending the Glasgow feeding clinic (GFC) which looks after children with severe feeding problems who commonly have low appetite and extreme thinness.

NCT ID: NCT04704076 Completed - Breastfeeding Clinical Trials

Preventing Infant Malnutrition With Early Supplementation

PRIMES
Start date: February 28, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Background: Worldwide, more than 50 million children under 5 years of age are wasted (weight-for-length/height Z-score (WLZ) <-2) and over 150 million children under 5 are stunted (length/height-for-age Z-score (LAZ) <-2); such wasting and stunting often begin during infancy.1 Optimal nutrition can prevent wasting and stunting. Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) is widely recommended by community health workers, doctors and nurses and provides optimal nutrition for most infants. However, early growth faltering is common for infants in low and middle income countries (LMIC) and can both increase an infant's risk of early mortality and also lead to deficits in attained height and weight throughout childhood. Thus research is needed to determine the most efficacious strategy to promote healthy early growth in LMIC. Objective: The proposed study will test the efficacy of early small-volume supplementation (ESVS) for increasing weight-for-age z-score (WAZ) at 1 month of age. Methodology: The PRIMES pilot (Study 3) will be a randomized clinical trial enrolling infants in Guinea-Bissau and Uganda weighing ≥2000g at birth. Infants weighing 2000-2499g at <6 hours of age (n=144; 72 per site) will be randomized on enrollment to one of two groups: 1) Early Small-Volume Supplementation (ESVS intervention group), which consists of up to 59 mL formula administered daily after breastfeeding through 30 days of age followed by EBF through 6 months of age; or 2) frequent exclusive breastfeeding without any food or fluid other than vitamins, minerals and medications (control) through 6 months of age. Infants weighing 2500-3300g at <6 hours of age will be weighed again at 4 days of age; those weighing <2600g at 4 days of age (n=180; 90 per site) will be randomized to the same intervention and control groups. Weight will be measured on all enrolled babies at birth on Day 1 and at 4, 14, 30, 60 and 180 days of age and additional measures including height, MUAC, skinfolds, and hemoglobin will be assessed at other time points. The study's primary outcome will be WAZ at 1 month of age. Secondary outcomes will include WLZ at 1 month of age; WAZ, WLZ and LAZ through 6 months of age; breastfeeding duration and infant intestinal microbiota.

NCT ID: NCT04631978 Completed - Cachexia Clinical Trials

Analysis of Retinochoroidal Vasculature in Underweight Women Using Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography

Start date: June 1, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Cachectic patients and controls undergoing a comprehensive ophthalmologic examination. The imaging of all subjects is undertaken using a commercial OCTA device with a scan rate of 70,000 A-scans/s, scan beam wavelength of 840 ± 10 nm and bandwidth of 45 nm. All measurements are performed between 10:00 and 12:00 on the same day. The OCTA images are independently graded and assessed by two retinal specialists. The software automatically segmented these full-thickness retinal scans into the superficial and deep inner retinal vascular plexuses, outer retina, and choriocapillaris (CC). The vascular density in the superficial and deep retinal vascular zones is calculated automatically by the software, and the foveal avascular zone (FAZ) and foveal density (FD) are also automatically determined. Choroidal thickness is calculated manually by two retinal specialists, and the average value was used.

NCT ID: NCT04561635 Completed - Anemia Clinical Trials

Effects of Multiple-micronutrients Supplementation on Growth and Iron Status of Indigenous Children in Malaysia

Start date: September 1, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Child undernutrition is largely attributed to inadequate nutrition including micronutrient deficiency. Undernutrition is prevalent among indigenous children as compared to the general population. This cluster randomized controlled trial aimed to determine the effect of multiple-micronutrients supplement (MMS) on growth and iron status of Orang Asli (indigenous group in Peninsular Malaysia) young children (6 to 24 months) in Selangor. MMS is a blend of 15 micronutrients in powder form that can be used for home fortification of foods for young children. A total of 98 children recruited in this study with 49 children randomly assigned for each intervention (IG) and control group (CG). At baseline, all children were normal in weight-for-age (WAZ>-2SD), length-for-age (LAZ>-2SD), weight-for-length (WLZ>-2SD) and blood haemoglobin (>11g/dL). IG was supplemented with three sachets of MMS each week i.e. every other day for 12 months and received health and nutrition advice. CG only received health and nutrition advice. Both groups were assessed for body weight, length and dietary intake at baseline, month 3, 6, 9, 12 of intervention, and 3 months post intervention. Blood haemoglobin was assessed at baseline, month-12 of intervention and 3 months post intervention. Compliance to MMS was measured in IG. The primary outcomes were weight, length, WAZ, LAZ, WLZ and haemoglobin, while the secondary outcome was dietary intake. The independence sample t-test and the chi-square test were used to determine the difference in the baseline variables between the groups. ANOVA using General Linear Model (GLM) for repeated measures was performed to determine the difference in the growth measures z scores, haemoglobin, energy, nutrients and food group within and between the groups over the period of the study. Per protocol analysis was performed. This study hypothesized that there were significant differences in the changes (before and after MMS intervention) related to growth [(weight-for-age (WAZ), length-for-age (LAZ) and weight-for-length (WLZ)]; iron status (haemoglobin concentration); and dietary intake (energy, nutrients and food group intakes) between intervention and control groups.

NCT ID: NCT04242732 Completed - Clinical trials for Patellofemoral Dislocation

Patellar Stability After MPFL Reconstruction With Fascia Lata Allograft: Conventional CT vs Under Weight-bearing CT

Start date: February 26, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The objective of the present study is to compare the stability and alignment of the patella in patients with previous recurrent dislocation treated with medial patellar femoral ligament reconstruction with fascia lata allograft, 5 years after surgery by conventional CT and by CT under weight-bearing. Conventional CT will be performed with the patient supine, the knee fully extended and with the muscles of the thigh and leg completely relaxed. On the same day, the patient will undergo a CT scan of the knee under weight-bearing with the Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scanner system. The CT images will be viewed through the PACS system by two independently expert radiologists who will measure the tilt, congruence angles and the TT-TG with the methodical notes described in the literature. The use of a CT under weight-bearing allows for the first time to evaluate in a realistic way the stability and tracking of the patella, with the knee flexed and therefore with the activation of the quadriceps muscle.
