Filter by:The objective of the trial is to assess the impact of a disinfection and hand hygiene program on absenteeism in elementary school classrooms. Students in intervention classrooms will use alcohol-based hand sanitizers at school, and their classrooms will be disinfected using quaternary ammonium wipes. We hypothesize that the use of disinfectants and hand hygiene products in elementary school classrooms will reduce absenteeism.
The primary objective of this clinical trial is to test the tolerance and practicality of the new device Module AOX. The secondary objective is to determine the changes in oxidative, antioxidative status, plasma free amino acids, and various immune parameters in critically ill patients receiving the enteral nutrition with and without using Module AOX.
To assess the effects of Bacillus clausii (Enterogermina®) on fecal microbial flora (using Polymerase Chain Reaction - Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis - PCR-DGGE - Method) in antibiotic-treated children with complicated acute otitis media or beta-hemolytic streptococcal pharyngo-tonsillitis.
This randomised, double blind, cross-over study compares the effect (symptoms, fecal bacterial growth, gas production) of three weeks' treatment with lactobacillus plantarum MF 1298 with placebo in patients with irritable bowel syndrome. The results are related to dietary habits, food intolerance and food allergy.
Sixty patients scheduled for upper diagnostic gastroscopy were randomised after written informed consent into three groups. 1. transnasal gastroscopy with thin endoscope 2. transoral with thin endoscope 3. standard size trans-oral endoscopy Stress response parameters (epinephrine, nor-epinephrine and cortisol, heartrate variability data and pulse oximetry data were monitored.
Two groups of patients were randomised into two groups of either transnasal gastroscopy or conventional type gastroscopy (n=98). The aim of the study was to evaluate the cardiorespiratory effects and sideeffects of the two methods, and to evaluate the technical features of the transnasal endoscope.
The purpose of this study is to elucidate the mechanisms underlying eosinophil growth, survival, migration, and function and to investigate and further characterize the pathophysiology of, clinical manifestations of, and spectrum of disease severity of eosinophilic inflammation in humans.
The aim is to evaluate if the resolution of upper abdominal symptoms (pain or burning) during an acid suppressive test trial of esomprazole given daily for 7 days predicts symptoms resolution at the end of a subsequent treatment period of 7 weeks.

The purpose of this study was to determine which treatment strategy, the step-up or the step-down treatment strategy, is the most cost-effective treatment for patients with new onset dyspepsia in primary care.
