Filter by:Hyponatremia associated with administration of hypotonic intravenous (IV) fluids may have serious complications. It has recently been suggested that isotonic saline may be a more appropriate choice of maintenance IV fluid. This pilot and feasibility study aims to compare isotonic saline to 0.45% saline in hospitalized children requiring parenteral fluid support in order to: Aim 1: To determine the feasibility of conducting a double-blind, randomized controlled trial comparing these solutions. Aim 2a: To compare the rate of change in serum Na (mmol/L/hr) and the incidence of hyponatremia (Na <136 mmol/L) between patients receiving isotonic and hypotonic intravenous fluids at at least 50% of the traditional maintenance rate for an interval of at least 8 hours. Aim 2b: To compare the incidence of adverse events between the two IV fluid treatment groups.
Primary: - To demonstrate the efficacy of Enterogermina® in reducing the duration of acute diarrhea in children Secondary: - To evaluate the safety of Enterogermina® in acute diarrhea in Indian children
The objective of this pivotal Phase III study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of prulifloxacin versus placebo in the treatment of patients with acute bacterial gastroenteritis (traveler's diarrhea.
The objective of this pivotal Phase III study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of prulifloxacin versus placebo in the treatment of subjects with acute bacterial gastroenteritis.
This study will look at children with dehydration secondary to gastroenteritis requiring IV rehydration and determine whether the proportion rehydrated after two hours is greater in the children who receive rapid intravenous rehydration (RIVR) or in the children who receive standard IV rehydration.
This Year 3 extension of the main study rota-028, 029 or 030 is conducted to evaluate vaccine efficacy against severe rotavirus (RV) gastroenteritis (GE) during third year of life in infants previously vaccinated with human rotavirus (HRV) vaccine or placebo in the following schedules: at 3 and 4 months of age in study rota-028; at 2 and 4 months of age in study rota-029 or rota-030. The Protocol Posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, Sep 2007.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the caregivers of children presenting to the emergency department (ED) with acute gastroenteritis who receive extensive gastroenteritis education (standard education plus home nursing visit) will improve their gastroenteritis knowledge more than those who receive standard education (an information sheet) in the emergency department.
To compare the effect of “point-of-care” (POC) analysis of blood work with traditional laboratory methods on length of stay in a pediatric emergency department (PED).
The purpose of this study is to conduct a translational study in patients with primary eosinophil associated gastrointestinal disorders [EGID] (e.g. eosinophilic esophagitis eosinophilic gastritis, eosinophilic enteritis [EE], eosinophilic colitis, and eosinophilic gastroenteritis [EGE]) with the aim of developing a data bank containing pertinent patient demographic information, tissue samples, and DNA, which will facilitate research on the pathophysiology of inflammatory disorders and the development of a verified successful clinical treatment program.
