Filter by:This study is a non-inferiority, decentralized, randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial evaluating the growth, tolerance, and safety of a goat's-milk test infant formula (Test Formula 1; TF1) and a cow's-milk test infant formula (Test Formula 2; TF2), each compared to a cow's-milk infant formula commercially available in the United States (Control Formula; CF).
In this clinical trial, the growth (weight for age), product tolerance (product intake, comfort) and infection-related symptoms of healthy infants consuming an IF and FOF containing bio-active ingredients will be evaluated and compared to a group of infants consuming a standard IF and FOF
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.
The association between nutrition in early life and its long-term health consequences has long been known. However, there is a scarcity of scientific evidence on how nutritional status affects child growth and development in remote, rural agro-pastoral communities with distinct dietary intake habits, geographical location, socio-economic status, and cultures.
propranolol and anabolic steroids have a role in pediatric burn patients and their combined effects are to be studied here. They decrease the catabolic response to burn trauma and minimize the duration of growth arrest hence improving the outcome
Preterm infants (gestational age between 189 and 258 days) with a birth weight (BW) greater than 1250 grams will be randomized to personalized-parenteral nutrition (P-PN) or standardized-parenteral nutrition (S-PN). The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of S-PN versus P-PN on growth of preterm infants with BW>1250 grams.
A randomised, controlled, double-blind, parallel group, multi-country study to investigate the safety and tolerance of a partly fermented infant formula containing prebiotic oligosaccharides in healthy term infants.
The purpose of this study is to conduct a randomized controlled trial among 800 socially disadvantaged pregnant women and their families to test the effectiveness of a multi-component home visitation nutrition program, compared to usual care, in promoting healthy feeding practices, lifestyle behaviors and growth in young children.
The influence of the preterm gut microbiota in health and disease has been well established. However, relatively little is known about how the microbiome changes after discharge and its relationship with growth, health and disease outcomes in the preterm population. This study aims to follow a cohort of preterm infants and explore the relationship of the later microbiome ('after discharge') with later growth and health outcomes in infancy. The study will also explore the effect of timing of stopping routinely administered probiotics on the post-discharge microbiome, infant feeding and outcomes such as colic. The investigators aim to longitudinally follow 40 infants born before 32 weeks gestation who have also taken part in the investigators microbiome study during their NICU stay (SERVIS REC No: 10/H0908/39) and where microbiomic sampling has been adequately achieved. The investigators will collect stool at and beyond the time of anticipated discharge (beyond 34 weeks) targeted to include pre- and post-weaning, and again at a year. Actual discharge timing of these infants varies, and is usually latest in the most immature infants, allowing an assessment of the influence of physical location (NICU vs home) as well as increasing age. Using 16S ribosomal RNA amplicon analysis, the investigators will assess bacterial colonisation of the gut and measure infant weight, length and head circumference at each time point. The investigators will use a parent questionnaire to assess daily crying time, parents' perceptions of colic severity using a visual analogue scale as well as vomiting and constipation for the two weeks before sampling.
