Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to compare amino acid-fortified oral rehydration therapy (ORT) to the standard of care ORT in pediatric patients with acute gastroenteritis (AGE). The main questions it aims to answer are: - can amino acid-fortified ORT reduce the duration and severity of AGE compared to standard of care ORT? - can amino acid-fortified ORT increase the secretion of antimicrobial peptides in the gastrointestinal tract compared to standard of care ORT? Participants will be assigned to the experimental treatment (amino acid-fortified ORT) or the standard of care ORT and their disease severity, duration, and stool antimicrobial peptide content.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effect of mothers' application of yogurt probiotic bacteria on relieving their young children's acute gastroenteritis in children had two to five years old. The main hypothesis is children with acute gastroenteritis who receive yogurt probiotic bacteria exhibit less diarrhea, vomiting and dehydration than those who don't.The study subjects were divided into two equal groups (probiotic study group and control group).
1. Assessment of the growth parameters in infants admitted with acute gastroenteritis. 2. Determine the prevalence of anemia in infants admitted with acute gastroenteritis.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether lactose-free milk will change diarrhea duration and severity in formula-fed infants with acute gastroenteritis presenting to pediatric wards.
In children with acute gastroenteritis (AGE), vomiting often precedes diarrhea. To establish the diagnosis of AGE, enteropathogen detection typically relies on diarrheal stool samples. However, testing requires sufficient stool sample, which may not be easily available. Recent studies suggest that in children presenting to emergency departments with presumed AGE with isolated vomiting, an enteropathogen can be identified using rectal swabs and molecular diagnostic tests. The rate of enteropathogen detection in children with isolated vomiting due to AGE may differ in various populations. Using rectal swabs and molecular diagnostic tests, we plan to assess the proportion of children with isolated vomiting with presumed AGE in whom an enteropathogen can be identified. This will be a prospective cohort study. Children younger than 5 years with presence of ≥3 episodes of vomiting due to presumed AGE, lasting no longer than 7 days before enrolment, will be recruited. A total of 198 participants will be recruited and a rectal swab will be collected. The participants will be contacted 14 days after enrollment to complete a survey regarding symptoms experienced during that period and to identify any additional clinical care.
Cytokines, such as IL-6 and IL-8 can be used as markers of acute infections, including acute gastroenteritis. This study aims to evaluate serum levels of interleukins 6 and 8 in children with acute gastroenteritis.
Cytokines, such as IL-6 and IL-8 can be used as markers of acute infections, including acute gastroenteritis. However, there have been no previous studies on the levels of IL-6 and IL-8 in malnourished children with acute diarrhea. This study aims to evaluate serum levels of interleukins 6 and 8 in malnourished children with acute diarrhea.
Most of the trials conducted comparing ondansetron and domperidone have been conducted among children aged below 5 or 6 years of age while no study from Pakistan has compared efficacy of these antiemetic agents among children up to 12 years of age. The findings of present study will give valuable evidence about the effectiveness of these antiemetic agents to prevent vomiting among children suffering with acute gastroenteritis at a resource limited setting of South Punjab, Pakistan.
One of the most common complaints of admission to the emergency room is gastroenteritis. One of the most common complaints in acute gastroenteritis is abdominal pain. The aim of our study is to investigate whether hyoscine butylbromide used within the indication has an effect on abdominal pain due to acute gastroenteritis. The main purpose of our study is to reduce the pain of the patient at 30th and 60th minutes compared to 0th minute.
The purpose of the research is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the tetravalent recombinant Norovirus vaccine at different doses, to initially explore the immunogenicity of the vaccine, and to determine the appropriate dose of the product for later clinical trials.This trial adopts the seamless design of phase I/IIa, which is carried out in two phases, phase I and phase IIa, phase I is the age/dose climbing phase, and phase IIa is the dose expansion phase.It is planned to enroll 580 subjects, divided into 5 age groups, including: young adults (18-59 years old, 60 people), adolescents (6 -17 years old, 60 people), and elderly (≥60 years old, 160 people) , Toddlers (2-5 years old, 140), infants (6 weeks to 23 months old, 160).The test vaccine contains recombinant HuNoV GI.1-VP1 protein, HuNoV GII.3-VP1 protein, HuNoV GII.4-VP1 protein, HuNoV GII.17-VP1 protein, and each dose contains 12.5μg/type/0.5ml/bottle (Low dose), 25μg/type/0.5ml/piece (high dose).
