Filter by:Diarrhea is one of the leading causes of under-five childhood mortality and accounts for 8% of 5.4 million global under-5 deaths. The coexistence of sepsis and hypovolemic shock in children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) having diarrhea is common. At Dhaka hospital of icddr,b, the death rate is as high as 40% and 69% in children with severe sepsis and septic shock respectively with co-morbidities such as severe malnutrition. The conventional management of SAM children with features of severe sepsis recommended by WHO includes administration of boluses of isotonic saline followed by blood transfusion in unresponsive cases with septic shock; whereas the Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC) guideline recommends vasoactive support. To date, no study has evaluated systematically the effects of inotrope(s) and vasopressor or blood transfusion in children with dehydrating diarrhea (for example, in cholera) and SAM having shock and unresponsive to WHO standard fluid therapy. This randomized trial will generate evidence whether inotrope and vasopressor or blood transfusion should be selected for severely malnourished children having hypotensive shock and who failed to respond to WHO standard fluid bolus.
In this study, patients taking pyrrolitinib alone or combined with pyrrolitinib were recruited (170 cases of secondary prevention and 300 cases of non-secondary prevention). Non-secondary prevention: Explore the recovery time of oral loperamide 4mg T.I.D. for pyrrolitinib induced diarrhea of 1-2 degrees. Secondary prevention: To explore the incidence of grade 3 and above diarrhea during c1D1-C1D22 in patients with oral loperamide 4 mg, T.I.D. (D1-7) →4 mg, B.I.D. (D8-21).
The investigator's goal is to improve the patient's compliance and accurate capture of patient reported gas and bloating symptoms, by utilizing a phone application that interactively records each gas and bloating event in addition to bowel events and other bowel symptoms. Such an electronic stool diary may relieve the burden of using a paper daily stool diary. The investigator will compare and validate the electronic gas and bloating diary with the paper gas and bloating diary.
IVC Index in patient with Diarrhea and Dehydration And How It affects its management.
Passive immunoprophylaxis is a class of dietary supplements that is lawfully marketed in the US for maintenance of gut health (GH). This randomized, double-blind, clinical trial will evaluate passive immunoprophylaxis (Travelan®) product compared with placebo, to assess the ability to maintain normal gut function during travel. The results of this clinical trial will be used to evaluate the use of a dietary supplement to maintain GH during deployment and travel and is not intended to support a marketing application of any dietary supplement as a drug or biological product for human use.
Malaria, pneumonia and diarrhoea causes a lot of illness in children in Tanzania and the study want to find better ways of protecting people against these diseases and want to find out if the type of house design can affect the general health of children living in the house.
This study will seek to determine if whole genome sequencing (WGS) improves diagnostic rates, and outcomes for congenital diarrhea and enteropathy (CODE) patients. The investigator will enroll 180 patients in a randomized controlled study to either WGS or whole exome sequencing (WES). This study is designed to evaluate whether CODE patients would benefit from WGS guided precision medicine.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Changkang granule as compared to placebo over a 8-week treatment period and explore TCM syndrome types.
Diarrhea-predominant irritable boewl syndrome(IBS-D) seriously affect the quality of life in patients. Clinically, it is effective to apply therapeutic method of clearing heat and promoting diuresis to the common syndrome of dampness-heat. Dysbiosis of intestinal microbiota is closely related to the immune imbalance and intestinal mucosal barrier injury. C1orf106/CYTH-1/ARF6 signal pathway, which derive from intestinal micro environment changes,is the mainly cause of intestinal mucosal barrier injury, and this is may be the common pathogenesis of dampness-heat syndrome in IBS-D . Based on the clinic, the project is to study the effect and mechanism of Chinese compound formula of clearing heat and promoting dieresis in modulating intestinal microbiota dysbiosis, repairing intestinal mucosal barrier and reconstructing intestinal microenvironment. With the combination of metagenomics and metabonomics, the study compare the differences of co-metabolites of intestinal microbiota and host within the healthy people, IBS-D patients with dampness-heat syndrome, to explore the relevance between intestinal flora and host co-metabolites. Furthermore, the experimental study is to clarify the drug targets via C1orf106/ CYTH-1/ARF6 signal pathway.Through the study of association between dampness-heat syndrome in IBS-D and intestinal microbiota, it is of important academic significance to reveal the Chinese theory intension of "homotherapy for heteropathy ".
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to determine the optimal dose and safety of oral alanyl-glutamine between 4, 24, and 44 g doses administered for 10 days with standard therapy among first time incident cases of uncomplicated C. difficile infection (CDI) in hospitalized, or outpatient, persons aged 18 or older. Our hypothesis is that alanyl-glutamine supplementation will decrease recurrence and mortality from CDI and these outcomes will be associated with improvement of inflammatory markers and restoration of intestinal microbiota function.
