Filter by:To assess the effect of a probiotic product, when co-administered with antibiotics, on gastrointestinal symptoms following antibiotic treatment in children.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether LJN452 improves the symptoms of bile acid diarrhea and to assess its safety and tolerability profile in patients with primary bile acid diarrhea (pBAD) to guide decision-making regarding further clinical development in this indication.
The purpose of the study is to demonstrate that diosmectite efficacy is superior to placebo regarding time to recovery of an acute diarrhoea episode presumed of infectious origin in adult subjects.
Social network targeting strategies can be used to improve the delivery and uptake of health interventions. We will enroll approximately 30,000 individuals into a randomized controlled trial of different targeting algorithms in order to explore how social network dynamics affect the uptake, diffusion, and group-level normative reinforcement of key neonatal and infant health behaviors and attitudes in 176 rural villages in the Copan region of Honduras. Our goal is to develop methods by which global health practitioners can exploit face-to-face social network interactions in order to maximize uptake of neonatal and infant health interventions. The villages will be randomly assigned to 16 cells of 11 villages each in a 2 x 8 factorial design of different targeting algorithms.
This is a retrospective study designed to gather outcomes data from existing medical charts from patients who have taken EnteraGam for management of their IBS-D for at least eight weeks. Data from two study periods will be collected: (1) the time during which the Standard of Care (SOC) therapy (i.e., prescribed or over-the-counter as well as FDA-approved or non-approved agents) that is used immediately prior to prescribing EnteraGam; and (2) the time during which EnteraGam is used as therapy.
The purpose of this study is to assess whether twice-daily text message reminders over a six-month period to health workers in Malawi about diagnosis and treatment of malaria, pneumonia, and diarrhea improve case management of these diseases.
Revival of significance and the emergent market of herbal medicinal products necessitate strong commitment by the stakeholders to safeguard the end users. The variability in the concentrations of constituents of plant material, coupled with the variety of extraction techniques and processing steps used by different manufacturers, results in distinct inconsistency in the quality of herbal products. The present study will be directed to a polyherbal formulation Entoban which integrates an outstanding blend of herbs that have been used for decades to eradicate microorganisms and worms from gastrointestinal tract. It is the combination of Holarrhena antidysenterica, Berberis aristata, Symplocos racemosa, Querecus infectoria and Helicteres isora. The current study would target the chemical assessment, pharmacological and comparative clinical evaluation of Entoban to assure its safety and efficacy.
This prospective, randomized, parallel-group, double blind, single-center study is to be conducted in the Medical University of Warsaw Public Paediatric Teaching Hospital in following departments: Department of Paediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, Department of Paediatrics and Nephrology, Department of Pediatric Pneumonology and Allergy, Department of Pediatrics with Medical Assessment Unit, Admissions Department. It is planned to include a total of 156 children aged between 12 months to 18 years old receiving antibiotic therapy because of acute respiratory tract infection/or urinary tract infection. The children will be randomly assigned to receive 100 mg of bovine lactoferrin or placebo twice a day orally for the whole period of antibiotic therapy. The primary efficacy parameter is occurrence of diarrhea during the antibiotic therapy and two weeks after, defined as > 3 stools a day, a watery or loose stool with/or occurrence of blood in the stool.
The investigators propose to test the feasibility and acceptability of community health workers (ASHAs and ANMs) being able to treat sick children in the community. There is a national policy for treatment for children aged 2-59 months with illnesses such as pneumonia, diarrhea and fever by community health workers (CHWs), this policy has not been implemented as yet in Haryana. This research will identify barriers and opportunities for use of CHWs as treatment sources.
The purpose of the survey is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Irribow and Irribow OD Tablets in post-marketing medical practice and to examine the status of treatment compliance.
