Filter by:A prospective, randomized, open-label single-blinded study of 50 subjects with growth hormone deficiency, ages 5 to 15 years in which 25 subjects will initiate rhGH therapy at 0.3mg/kg/week and the remaining 25 subjects will initiate their rhGH treatment at 0.2 mg/kg/week for the first 12 months of treatment. Safety parameters, height velocity, and adult height prediction by bone age determination will be assessed at 4-month intervals for 1 year following the initiation of rhGH therapy.
Research question: Do preterm infants born <1250 g achieve better weight gain with targeted fortification compared with the adjustable fortification of human milk? Hypothesis: Targeted fortification of human milk results in better weight gain in infants with birth weight <1250 gr when compared to the adjustable fortification. Study design: Open-label, pragmatic, parallel randomized controlled trial in appropriate for gestational age infants with birth weight <1250 g.
This study is a randomized controlled trial comparing standard fortification of donor breast milk to targeted fortification of donor breast milk in preterm infants. The purpose of the study is to determine if there is a benefit to target fortifying donor breast milk in the preterm population. The investigators hypothesize that infants receiving targeted fortification of donor breast milk will have improved growth compared to infants receiving standard fortification of donor breast milk.
High energy formula more positively affect growth in infants with congenital heart disease compared to standard formula
This study will evaluate the status of the growth hormone/ insulin-like growth factor-1 (GH/IGF-1) axis in relation to growth failure, body weight and composition and neuroprotection in children with Ataxia telangiectasia (AT).
