Filter by:The aim of this clustered randomized controlled trial is to evaluate whether free and pre-emptive distribution of Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) and Zinc at home increases the use of ORS to treat diarrhea cases among children under the age of 5 in Bauchi, Nigeria. The primary research questions for the study are: - RQ1a: Does pre-emptive home delivery with free distribution of ORS and zinc coupled with information about the importance of proper treatment (henceforth referred to as "the intervention") result in greater use of ORS to treat child diarrhea (for children under the age of 5) over the 6 months following the deliveries, relative to the status quo (i.e., in the absence of such an intervention)? - RQ1b: Does the intervention result in greater use of ORS to treat child diarrhea (for children under the age of 5) over the 12 months following the deliveries, relative to the status quo? - RQ1.1: How much does the effect of the intervention on use of ORS to treat child diarrhea (for children under the age of 5) change over time? All wards in Bauchi state will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: - treatment, where all households with at least one child under the age of 5 will receive free pre-emptive ORS and zinc co-packs - with two ORS sachets and 10 zinc tablets per child - coupled with information about the importance of proper treatment - delayed-start control, with care as usual during the evaluation period and intervention delivery post evaluation) groups. A total of 1,732 enumeration areas (EAs) will be sampled across all wards for the study period. Within each EA, 20 eligible households will be randomly sampled for surveys during each wave of data collection: baseline, endline wave 1 (over 1-6 months post intervention), and endline wave 2 (over 7-12 months post intervention). The primary outcomes for the study include the use of ORS to treat child diarrhea over 6 months post-intervention, over 12 months post-intervention, and over each month until 12 months post-intervention.
Evaluation of the effects of butyrate ( BitirBioma) and palmitoylethanolamide( PEA=PeaBioma) on intestinal permeability and gut microbiota composition in patients with irritable bowel syndrome. Study B/P 3_1 is an interventional study involving the use of food supplements on the market (BitirBioma Plus and PeaBioma Plus), single-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover, randomized, in n=50 patients with bowel syndrome irritable, diarrheal and mixed variant (IBS-D and IBS-M), lasting for one year. The study has two arms: Group 1: n=25 Treatment A e Group 2: n=25 Treatment B (with - Treatment A: 3 capsules/day of butyrate (625 mg) + 3 capsules/day PEA (200 mg) at a ratio of dosage of 3/1 - Treatment B: Placebo (3+3/day capsules of starch). Eligible subjects with IBS will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to treatment A or treatment B for six weeks. After the first treatment period, there is a 14-day washout period. Hence, individuals will be treated with B/A treatment for additional six weeks, according to the crossover design. In the two treatment periods, subjects will be required to complete a visual analogue score VAS questionnaire to assess gastrointestinal symptoms and Stool Bristol Scales. During the visit, the subjects will have to record Questionnaire Rome IV to evaluate their quality of life. At the same time, it will be theirs required to provide: - fecal sample for the evaluation of the composition of fecal microbiota (Biomaplan Kit) - a urine sample for the evaluation of intestinal permeability (Gastropack) a capillary blood sample and a serum sample for the detection of Zonulin (Kit Healthy gut and Immundiagnostik AG ) - a capillary blood sample and a serum sample for the detection of Zonulin (Kit Healthy gut and Immundiagnostik AG )
To evaluate the efficacy, safety and hydration index about the oral administration of probiotics food supplement in the re-equilibration of the intestinal microbiota, in presence of acute diarrhea
Aim: The aim of the present study was to examine the effect on venous dilation, procedure duration and pain severity of local hot, cold and vibration applications performed on the intervention area before peripheral intravenous catheterization in adults. Methods: The study included 120 adults who were randomly selected between March and August 2023. One application group (n=30) received local hot application, one group (n=30) received local cold application, and one (n=30) received local vibration using the Buzzy® device. The applications, to the site of the peripheral intravenous catheterization, lasted one minute. The control group (n=30) the received standard peripheral intravenous catheterization application. The groups' venous dilation was assessed on the vein assessment scale and the level of pain felt during catheterization was assessed using a visual analog scale.
Scotiaderm Inc. has developed a cream formulation to be used in the treatment of MASD caused diarrhea or fecal incontinence. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a plant extract incorporated into a standard barrier in the treatment of MASD from diarrhea and/or fecal incontinence. The goal of this research is to conduct an open-label outpatient study of this novel cream in a population with MASD secondary to diarrhea and/or fecal incontinence.
The study proposed here will determine the frequency and etiology of diarrhea in Australian adult tourists traveling to Southeast Asia, including Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand, Timor-Leste, and Vietnam. The results from this study will inform the feasibility and design of subsequent clinical trials of travelers' diarrhea interventions in this population.
To explore a reasonable and effective way to reduce the incidence of grade 3 or above diarrhea caused by pyrotinib
This study will establish a clinical cohort of children with congenital diarrhea and enteropathy (CODE), mine biomarkers of CODE through multi-omics technology and construct a clinical risk prediction model.
The present study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group clinical study that assesses the effect of postbioc on the complaints of subjects with moderate to severe diarrhoea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D). The trial is also evaluating the potential of postbiotic on anxiety, low mood and stress of the participants, as well as its safety and tolerability. The intervention duration for all the study participants is 12 weeks (intervention phase). Subsequently, the participants will be invited to return to site for an end of study assessment after 21 days of no intervention (post-intervention phase).
The purpose of this study is to assess the prevention of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) related diarrhea/colitis using vedolizumab in participants with unresectable stage III or metastatic stage IV cancer, starting standard of care (SOC) immunotherapy
