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.
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in children has high prevalence and severe complications, and its first line of treatment (adenotonsillectomy) has risk of complications. Even though the use of presurgical CPAP seems logical due to its effects in adults, it must be studied in children due to the different physiopathology and adherence. One non-invasive way of study the effect is via acoustic pharyngometry, which can measure the anatomical site of obstruction. The post-surgical anatomical changes could correlate with a persistent OSAS, which would be helpful in selecting those patients who require a post surgical sleep study. The main goal of the study is to cuantify the changes in the oropharyngeal volume via acoustic pahryngometry after CPAP use, and also the changes after adentonsillectomy in children.
This trial aims at evaluating the efficacy of a fermented rice flour for the treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD). The fermented rice flour, obtained from Lactobacillus paracasei CBA L74 (Heinz Italia SpA, Latina, Italy), does not contain live bacteria. Lactobacillus paracasei CBA L74 belongs to the list of microorganisms with qualified presumption of safety compiled by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), is tested for the absence of antibiotic resistance genes in accordance with EFSA, and is genetically characterized by repetitive extragenic palindromic polymerase chain reaction. Using a repeated-measure cohort design, the investigators have recently shown that the administration of a fermented-rice flour obtained from Lactobacillus paracasei CBA L74 was associated with a decrease of the score for atopic dermatitis (SCORAD) in children with AD. The present randomized, double-blind, controlled trial is aimed at testing whether the fermented rice flour obtained from Lactobacillus paracasei CBA L74 is effective in reducing SCORAD in children with moderate to severe AD using placebo as comparator.
Generation of a common European database and biobank Continous assessment and implementation of guidelines and treatment protocols Establishment of a large observational cohort of chILD patients Determination the value of outcomes used in child Assess treatment variations used, deliver data from defined protocols and linked outcomes
To evaluate the effect of early vision screening with automated photorefraction device in high risk children
Following thoracic surgery, pleural effusion in pleural cavity requires post-operative drainage. Pleural effusion is responsible for pulmonary congestion, atelectasis, hypoventilation, lower efficacy of diaphragmatic curse, lower pulmonary reexpansion and vicious attitude. These complications could be avoided by respiratory physiotherapy. Forced expiration technic in ipsilateral decubitus is one of these technics but has never been proved better than other technics regarding its efficiency. The aim of the study is to compare the impact of such a technic on post operative thoracic drainage after pulmonary, pleural or mediastinal pediatric surgery.
To study the reactivity of the mu rhythm during action and action-observation by EEG in children with unilateral cerebral injury.
This study is a single-center, prospective, randomized, controlled trial. To investigate if preoperative using of eye patch will decrease emergence agitation, and to provide a better method of decreasing emergence agitation to pediatric ophthalmic anesthesiologists.
Treatment of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) has advanced and the overall survival exceeds 80% nowadays. However the overall survival of high risk ALL remains 75-90%, thus recent studies focus on treatment intensification according to the risk group. According to the previous reports, we designed a multicenter prospective trial for pediatric ALL.
