NCT ID: NCT05946928 Completed - Clinical trials for Autism Spectrum Disorder

EMERGENCE AGITATION After Premedication IN PAEDIATRIC MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING: A RETROSPECTIVE COHORT STUDY

premidazolam
Start date: March 1, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The aim of this study was to assess the anxiolytic and sedative effect of OZALIN® / OZASED® (ADV6209) 0,25mg/Kg in children undergoing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) under inhalational anesthesia. Our hypothesis is that compared to children who do not receive any premedication, palatability of OZALIN® / OZASED® by allowing an easier acceptance of the drug, improves the quality of anesthesia induction and postoperative behavioral outcome improving sedation and reducing the need for inhalation anesthetic which has been recognized as the main cause of post-procedural behavioral changes, including emergence agitation.

Antenatal Corticosteroid Therapy: Which Impact on Birth Parameters?

Start date: January 1, 2014
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Use of antenatal corticosteroids therapy has increased since the 2000s. The benefits of such a therapy on premature newborns are scientifically and internationally recognized. Nevertheless, few studies have been conducted to investigate the impact of this antenatal corticosteroid therapy on full-term newborns (> 36 weeks' gestation). The aim of this study is to compare the birth parameters of full-term newborns exposed or not to antenatal corticosteroid therapy.

NCT ID: NCT04633135 Completed - Inflammation Clinical Trials

Research on Emissions, Air Quality, Climate and Cooking Technologies in Northern Ghana

REACCTING
Start date: January 1, 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

REACCTING (Research on Emissions, Air quality, Climate, and Cooking Technologies in Northern Ghana) is an interdisciplinary randomized cookstove intervention study in the Kassena-Nankana District of Northern Ghana. The study tests two types of biomass burning stoves that have the potential to meet local cooking needs and represent different "rungs" in the cookstove technology ladder: a locally-made, low-tech Gyapa rocket stove and the imported, highly efficient Philips gasifier stove. Intervention households were randomized into four different groups, three of which received different combinations of two improved stoves, while the fourth group serves as a control for the duration of the study. Diverse measurements assess different points along the causal chain linking the intervention to final outcomes of interest. The investigators assess stove use and cooking behavior, cooking emissions, household air pollution and personal exposure, health burden, and local to regional air quality. Integrated analysis and modeling will tackle a range of interdisciplinary science questions, including examining ambient exposures among the regional population, assessing how those exposures might change with different technologies and behaviors, and estimating the comparative impact of local behavior and technological changes versus regional climate variability and change on local air quality and health outcomes.

NCT ID: NCT03635944 Completed - Growth Retardation Clinical Trials

Nutritional Care and Head Growth in Preterm Infants

KARLY
Start date: December 1, 2016
Phase:
Study type: Observational

As extremely low birth weight infants are high-risk patients, the study aimed to compare neonatal care, nutritional strategy and postnatal growth of these infants in two European neonatal units. A retrospective study included extremely low birth weight infants born in Lyon, France or in Stockholm, Sweden. Data on morbidity, treatments, care practices, macro-nutrient intakes and postnatal growth were collected to determine risk factors of extra uterine growth restriction at discharge. By comparing postnatal growth in ELBW infants hospitalized in two European neonatal intensive care units with different nutritional and extra nutritional care,our objective was to evaluate the role of nutrition in this population of preterm infants.

NCT ID: NCT03217045 Completed - Premature Infants Clinical Trials

Nutrition Protocol and Premature Infants' Growth

Nutriproto
Start date: May 1, 2013
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Nutrition is a major issue for premature infants. Inappropriate nutritional intake during the first weeks of life is responsible for postnatal growth restriction and adverse long-term outcomes. This study aimed at evaluating the impact of the introduction of an updated, standardized, nutrition protocol on very premature infants' growth and morbidity, and the care givers' compliance to the new protocol.

NCT ID: NCT02716935 Completed - Growth Retardation Clinical Trials

Prebiotics and Microbiota Composition and Functionality in Rural Burkinabe Infants

Start date: March 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of a mixture of prebiotics included in a food supplement on microbiota diversity and functionality, and to explore its subsequent effects on linear growth velocity and morbidity.

NCT ID: NCT02438774 Completed - Growth Retardation Clinical Trials

Intervention in Minimizing Aflatoxins and Fumonisins Exposure to Children Through Food and Breastfeeding in Tanzania

Start date: November 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

It has been shown that exposure to mycotoxins through complementary foods and breast milk had profound effects on growth of children from 6 months to 1 year of age. In Tanzania maize is the main ingredient for complementary food, however, the crop is vulnerable to mycotoxins contamination. it has been reported that the most effective way to reduce mycotoxin exposure is to lower the mycotoxins contamination of maize. This study has developed a post-harvest intervention package for use in rural Tanzania to reduce contamination of maize and breast milk with two forms of mycotoxins; aflatoxins and fumonisins. It is composed of 5 components; 1) hand sorting, 2) drying surface, 3) proper drying 4) application of insecticide, 5) dehulling and was introduced in three main maize producing agro-ecological zones. The intervention used randomised controlled trial design where infants less than 8 six months of age were recruited and followed up 6 months after recruitment. The intervention expects to demonstrate the effectiveness of the post harvest intervention package in reducing aflatoxins and fumonisins contamination of maize and subsequent exposure of these toxins to infants and young children through maize based complementary food and breast milk. The findings will be used in developing guidelines for farmers and extension officers to reduce aflatoxins and fumonisins contamination of maize and improve the health of the infants and the whole population. The study hypothiseses that introducing post-harvest intervention package can reduce aflatoxins and fumonisins contamination of maize and subsquent exposure of these toxins to infants and young children through maize based complementary foods and breast milk than routine agriculture extension services offered to the farmers in rural Tanzania. The specific objectives include; - To evaluate the effectiveness of post-harvest intervention package on reduction of aflatoxins and fumonisins contamination of maize and in breast milk - To perform exposure assessment of aflatoxins and fumonisins to infants and young children through maize based complementary food and breast milk - To perform risk characterization of aflatoxins and fumonisins exposure to infants and young children through maize based complementary foods and breast milk - To assess the association between exposure to aflatoxins and fumonisins and child growth

NCT ID: NCT02403739 Completed - Growth Retardation Clinical Trials

Visual Interpretation of Neonatal Growth Charts

Start date: March 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Simulated growth data will be shown to clinicians in two formats - (1) as weight vs.age charts, (2) as weight Z-score vs. age charts. Clinicians will be asked to identify whether growth is too fast, too slow, or normal. The test will take a total of 10 minutes.

NCT ID: NCT02259166 Completed - Anemia Clinical Trials

Enhanced Homestead Food Production Plus+ Program in the Lake Zone, Tanzania

Start date: June 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to assess if the Enhanced Homestead Food Production Plus (EHFP+) Program implemented by HKI in Mwanza, Tanzania, enhances uptake of Micronutrient Powder (MNP) supplementation in children, helps maintaining reduced anemia levels among children after a blanket provision of MNP, and has an impact on child growth, infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices, maternal knowledge related to health, nutrition, WASH and malaria prevention, food security and women's empowerment.
