This study evaluates the correlation between sedation depth monitoring obtained by NeuroSENSE ® NS 701 Monitor and reflexes during intravenous anesthesia in children undergoing direct laryngoscopy for surgical procedures.
In order to determine the speed of onset of the anaesthetic propofol in children, investigators will compare the two age groups 1-6 years vs 8-13 years. The primary outcome measure is the time to peak effect of a bolus of proposal, which is measured by analysing the electroencephalogram by using the permutation entropy. Further pharmacodynamic modelling will enable investigators to quantify the difference with age in the hypnotic effect of propofol.
This study is designed to evaluate the impact of use of mobile technology by community-based health workers on health-promoting behaviors among women related to reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health and nutrition in Bihar, India. The intervention was funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) and in collaboration with CARE was implemented from 2012 to 2014. Health sub-centers in the catchment areas of four blocks (sub-districts) of the district of Saharsa were randomly assigned to treatment or control arms (35 sub-centers were assigned to each). Data were collected in the Intervention and Control areas from mothers of infants 0-12 months at baseline and at 2-year follow-up, to assess the intervention's effects on quality and quantity of FLW home visits, postnatal health behaviors, and among older infants/toddlers, complementary feeding and vaccination. Difference in difference analyses were used to assess outcome effects in this quasi experimental study. The ICT-CCS intervention was implemented in areas where the BMGF-funded Ananya program (official title: Bihar Family Health Initiative) was also being implemented. Thus, the impact is of the [ICT-CCS intervention + Ananya] versus [Ananya alone]. The Ananya program was developed and implemented via a partnership of BMGF, CARE, and the Government of Bihar. The ultimate purpose of Ananya was to reduce maternal, newborn, and child mortality; fertility; and child undernutrition in Bihar, India. Ananya involved multi-level interventions designed to build front line health worker (FLW) capacities and reach to communities and households, as well as to strengthen public health facilities and quality of care to improve maternal and neonatal care and health behaviors, and thus survival. It was implemented from 2012 to 2014. Eight focal districts in western and central Bihar received Ananya, while 30 districts did not.
This study aims to work out the effectiveness (effect size) of the musical training intervention in reducing depressive symptoms, improving self-esteem and quality of life among childhood brain tumour survivors and to examine the feasibility, appropriateness, and acceptability of implementing musical training intervention in clinical practice. Subjects in the experimental group will receive weekly 45-minute lessons on musical training for one year (52 weeks), while those in the control group will receive usual care.
This study has the aim to assess the effectiveness of the Ai Chi method as an adjunct therapy in the treatment of children with asthma.
The remineralizing efficacy of 3 fluoride varnishes were assessed in children with white spot lesion under 6 years of age ( children with early childhood caries)
Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most frequent disability in children. The vast majority of these patients are malnourished. In this population, there are practical difficulties to perform a nutritional and growth assessment which makes it difficult to treat and follow up, because of the lack of reference growth in Argentina, and the difficulty in taking anthropometric measurements of weight and height because of their motor compromise, posture and muscle tone. The main objective is to design and validate predictive models for the nutritional and growth assessment of children and adolescents with CP and instruments for estimating weight and height from body segments, in order to improve care, quality of life of these patients to promote their social inclusion. Material and method: It will be an observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study. There will be two parts of the study, in the first part the population will be healthy children from 2 to 18 years old from Cordoba, Argentina. The sample size was calculated based on growth WHO standards data, for α=0.05 and 1-β=0.80, creating an stratified sampling divided in 16 age groups for each age. This first part will help to establish which body segments to use. In the second part, the population will be children and adolescents from 2 to 18 years old with diagnosis of CP from Córdoba, Argentina. A stratified sequential sampling shall be performed. The sample size will be 192 patients, 12 per age stratum. The variables studied will be: weight, height, body segments, sex, age, CP type, feeding path and type of feeding. For the analysis of the data the normal continuous variables will be described in means with their respective standard deviations and those of non-normal distribution in medians with their ranges. For the development of the predictive equations using body segments measures, a generalizable linear regression model will be used. The correlation coefficient r, determination R2 and test of F will be calculated with p <0.05. To generate predictive growth models, the percentiles from 3 to 97 will be calculated, using the LMS method and a q-q graph.
This is a cross-sectional study aiming to identify how daily activities affect children's body fitness and general health. Also, the study will address how specific behaviors (such as diet and sleep) as well as neighborhood and home environment affect children's metabolic health and fitness level.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of a novel enteral nutrition (EN) protocol (delivering 75% of patient's caloric needs through EN) for induction of remission in patients with active childhood-onset Crohn's disease (CD) and compare it to the standard protocol with exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN). This novel approach allows patients to consume remaining calories (25%) from an antiinflammatory diet for CD (AID-CD). The hypothesis is that no significant difference in the remission rate between the novel EN protocol with partial enteral nutrition (PEN) and standard protocol with EEN will be observed.
