Filter by:Introduction: Non-CF, non-PCD bronchiectasis in children is a chronic, suppurative lung disease diagnosed by high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) imaging of the lungs. Spirometry can be abnormal in bronchiectasis but has been shown to be insensitive to early disease in other related conditions such as cystic fibrosis. Lung clearance index (LCI) could have a role in assessment of the disease. Lung clearance index is calculated from multiple breath washout tests. There are limited data on the normative values expected using some devices, in a range of ages, and between ethnic groups. The investigators aim to establish normative values in children aged between 6 years and 12 years, to investigate differences between ethnic groups, and to establish the relationship between lung clearance index and other measures of disease in children with bronchiectasis. Methods: Healthy children will be recruited from a range of settings and reviewed to ensure no previous lung disease. Children with bronchiectasis diagnosed on HRCT will be recruited from the outpatient service of Birmingham Children's Hospital. All participants will perform lung function tests including LCI and spirometry. Basic demographic data was collected.
An Open-Label, Three-Arm, Parallel, Investigator-Initiated Trial of Three Different Gummies (Curcumin Gummies, Vitamin C Gummies, and Vitamin B Complex Gummies) in Healthy Children. A sufficient number (maximum of 48, (16 children/arm)) of children subjects will be recruited to ensure a total of 45 subjects (15 children /arm) complete the study.
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effects that functional training may have on the development of fundamental motor skills and to create a systematic functional training program suitable for healthy children aged 6-7 years. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - [To examine the effects of functional training on FMS among children aged 6-7 years.] - [To compare the effects of functional training on FMS between boys and girls] This study will include an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group will engage in functional training, while the control group will follow the state-mandated physical education curriculum. Through experiments, we will investigate the effect of functional training on children's fundamental motor skills and assess whether the experimental group's intervention effect is superior to the control group. The samples in this study were normal Chinese children aged 6-7 years. There were 40 people in both the experimental and control groups, including 20 boys and 20 girls
The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of implementing a healthy eating vs traditional recommendations on the Medkid index of children in primary school. To do so, different companies involved in ALINFA project developed with the assessment of UNAV, CNTA and UPNA, a healthy bi-weekly menu.
Coordination and balance are manifested as motor skills or abilities that are acquired as the Central Nervous System develops. In the infant stage, these qualities help guide specialists to recognize possible abnormalities that at first glance seem banal, but that, as time goes by, acquire greater difficulty, causing even more complex problems in the long term. Craniosacral therapy could help these skills to be correctly established during growth, correcting such impairment in time during neurodevelopment. Objective: To correct possible alterations that occur during infant growth related to balance and coordination in neurodevelopment, by means of craniosacral therapy compared with the specific therapy of balance and coordination usually used in pathologies diagnosed of this caliber. Design: Longitudinal-experimental study with a population of 86 apparently healthy children. Setting/Participants: 86 children were treated without excluding sex and divided into three groups: placebo group (n=25), craniosacral therapy group (n=30) and balance and coordination therapy group (n=31). Interventions: group 1 (placebo), group 2 (craniosacral therapy) group 3 (balance and coordination therapy). Results: The Battelle scale prior to the therapies developed in the study showed balance and coordination imbalances in the participants of the three groups, with lower percentages in the placebo treatment. Sessions from the 2nd to the 7th of treatment show increasing percentages and fluctuating for craniosacral therapy between 51% to 56% and 100% satisfaction, significantly valued. As for balance and coordination therapy, satisfaction percentages are evident only in the 6th and 7th sessions, with statistically significant values. Finally, the Battelle post-therapy assessment scale shows a higher number of participants in the percentages classified as normal (50-80%) in the craniosacral therapy group, improving the evaluated parameters with statistically significant values. Conclusion: The study shows that craniosacral therapy can not only act as a treatment for the improvement of children's balance and coordination, but also helps small corrections during children's neurodevelopment, avoiding the evolution of pathologies in the long term. It is therefore necessary for a more prompt, total and lasting correction of these skills in the infant.
The infant gut microbiota, a major driver of the maturation of the immune system, is formed through the successive establishment and development during infancy and early childhood. It can inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria, prevent the occurrence of diseases and improve the child's quality of life. It is therefore important to regulate the microbiota balance in infants and young children. This objective of this post-launch study is to evaluate the effects of a formula with prebiotics and milk fat on the gut microbiota and stool characteristics of healthy Chinese infants and young children. The duration of the study for each participant is 32 days and includes 3 study visits.
To establish normative value for reading parameters in healthy children of primary school age and in grades 2-5.
Fiber as part of the plants can be provided through eating grains, fruits and vegetables. As source of fiber, exclusively breastfed infants do not need additional dietary fiber because breast-milk provides oligosaccharides to maintain the bulk for normal gastrointestinal movements together with gut probiotics. However, after the period of six months of exclusive breastfeeding, then complementary foods are the initial sources of fiber of children aged 6-59 months diet, e.g. cereals, fruits and legumes should then be introduced. However, investigators should consider on the effect of plant foods as a non-haem iron food source that is less bioavailable for iron absorption. There are other dietary factors that inhibit iron bioavailability, i.e. phytates in grains and rice, vegetables protein, calcium and phosphorus in cow's milk and cheese. iron deficiency is remained common globally, especially for children age 6-24 month in which it can developing into a severe condition, i.e. iron deficiency anemia. Iron deficiency as well as anemia is closely related to delay child growth and development, negatively associated with height-for-age, and anemia are at risk for poorer cognitive, motor, social-emotional, and neurophysiologic development in the short- and long-term outcome. The aim of this study is to see the association between fiber intake from different type of milk consumption sources and dietary habits to gastrointestinal health, anemia and growth status among children aged 6-36 months.
