Filter by:Objective: To evaluate the effect of Iron supplement with two different amounts (one in the higher limit and another in the lower limit of the suggested amount) according to the presence of mutations in the HFE gene in the physical, immune and neurobehavioral development in the 6 to 12 moth toddlers. Methodology: Subjects: 340 toddlers coming from Paediatric Serves of Sant Joan Hospital. Methods: At 6 and 12 months it done clinical history, food registry, biochemist determinations: haemoglobin, iron, transferrin, ferritin, reactive C protein and immune response (IL4, IL10, IL6 IFN, IgA, IgM, IgG, IgE). Mutations in the HFE gene: C282Y, H63D, S65D and hepcidin gene. Mental, psychomotor and behavioual development (Bayley Scales of Infant Development 2on Edition: 1993). We evaluate the level of language and communication (MacArthur), regulation and sensory process (Infant Toddler Symptom Checklist), familiar and environment surroundings (Scale Health General Parental Stress Index).
Human breast milk contains growth factors including neurotrophins and cells with neuroprotective potential. Concerning growth factors milk of preterms differs significantly from term milk. The aim of this study is to give a profile of human milk concerning non-nutritive factors depending on gestational age and lactation phase.
This study measures the plasma half-life of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25(OH)D3) in non-pregnant-non-lactating women, pregnant women at 30 wk gestational age and at 3 months post-partum in women who are exclusively breast-feeding.
This study is an early (during the product development process) feasibility study. It shall evaluate the device design concept with respect to device functionality of a new fluid filled breast pump in a small number of subjects.
The primary objectives of this study is to evaluate how professionals rate the reliability and usability of the reusable BrownieForSymphony pump set.and the current used Symphony pump set 4.2 Secondary Objectives The secondary objectives of this study are: - to evaluate the rate of usability problems with the BrownieForSymphony pump set - to evaluate the pragmatic quality (task/goal fulfilment) of the BrownieForSymphony pump set - to evaluate first impression of lactating woman regarding pumping with the BrownieForSymphony pump set
The overall purpose of this study is to evaluate the reliability and usability of the reusable BrownieForSymphony pump set in home use. The primary objectives of this study is to asses and compare the System Usability Scale (SUS) score of the BrownieForSymphony pump set and the current used Symphony pump set. Secondary Objectives The secondary objectives of this study are: to evaluate the rate of usability problems with the BrownieForSymphony pump set - to evaluate the pragmatic quality (task/goal fulfilment) of the BrownieForSymphony pump set - to evaluate perceived comfort during pumping with the BrownieForSymphony pump set Prospective Cohort Study (quasi Cross over design)
This study will evaluate if immediate postpartum placement of a levonorgestrel (LNG) contraceptive implant within 5 days of delivery improves implant utilization at 6 months postpartum compared to implant placement at 6-8 weeks postpartum among women in Uganda.
The overall aims of this project are to 1) determine the quality of life effects of a combination herbal galactagogue tea in lactating women, and 2) measure changes in maternal blood concentration of oxytocin, prolactin, and milk production. The defined outcome measures will include quality of life measures in the breastfeeding woman and basic infant health. If the tea proves safe and effective, then it can provide a proven all-natural and organic supplement for increasing lactation in women. This in turn will increase quality of life for both the infant and the mother.
To investigate the impact of nutrient supplementation during lactation on levels in breast milk.
The investigators propose to study the transfer of nifurtimox into breastmilk of lactating women who receive the drug for the treatment of Chagas disease. Breastmilk and blood samples will be obtained from these patients at pre-specified times after they take the clinically indicated medication, and the concentrations in both matrices will be compared to estimate degree of transfer. Estimation of nifurtimox transfer into breastmilk will allow the evaluation of potential degree of exposure of infants breastfed by these women to nifurtimox. This study will help clarify safety of continuing breastfeeding while receiving treatment with nifurtimox for Chagas disease.
