Filter by:This is an open-labeled, laboratory-blinded, randomized, two period, single-center, crossover, comparative study, where each participant will be randomly assigned to the reference (Xarelto®, 20 mg film-coated tablets) or the test (Rivaroxaban, 20 mg film-coated tablets) formulation in each period of study (sequences Test-Reference (TR) or Reference-Test (RT)), in order to evaluate if both formulations are bioequivalent.
A one-year, cluster-randomized, partially masked, controlled trial to test and compare the effects of fish aggregating devices and social and behaviour change communication on the frequency and volume of household fish consumption in upland areas of Timor-Leste.
There are many factors involved in outlining the patient's profile and in defining which factors can be configured as risks related to the surgical act; for the modern surgeon it is no longer possible to identify the patient at risk of complications based on the mere age or some comorbidities historically considered more influential on the surgical outcome, but each patient must be evaluated in its entirety including age, fragility, comorbidity, state nutritional and sarcopenia and, if necessary, implementing preoperative therapeutic strategies aimed at minimizing the impact of some of these factors on the outcome of surgery. Our study aimed at creating, if possible, an "identikit" of the patient who is more likely to have serious postoperative complications; in order to improve the therapeutic decision and the approach to patients with severe surgical risk since choosing the right treatment for the right patient is essential to obtain a good result.
The study is a prospective community-cluster non-randomized trial that will evaluate the effectiveness of a program that will provide 30-day egg vouchers to mothers of 6 to 24 month-old children living in rural areas of Intibucá, Honduras.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the single-dose Pharmacokinetic (PK) and bioequivalence of darunavir (DRV) in the presence of cobicistat (COBI) when administered as a scored fixed dose combination (FDC) tablet (DRV/COBI) compared to the co-administration as the separate available tablet formulations (DRV and COBI), under fed conditions in healthy participants.

The primary outcome of the study is to identify gastrointestinal tolerance of under-five children with severe acute malnutrition to ready-to-drink high energy (1.5 kcal/ml) and standard energy (1 kcal/ml) oral nutrition supplement (ONS) compared to Formula-75/Formula-100. The secondary outcomes of the study are weight gain, electrolyte profile and plasma amino acid profile at the beginning and the end of stabilization phase. In this randomized, controlled trial, 108 patients with severe acute malnutrition will be enrolled. Patients are randomly assigned to 3 groups (Formula-75/Formula-100, high energy ONS, and standard energy ONS) to undergo a two-week treatment. In order to ensure an adequate intake, nasogastric-tube will be placed for home enteral nutrition for at least throughout the two-week study period. Parent or caregiver will be asked to record daily intake, vomit, and defecation score using Bristol stool chart.
Background: Worldwide, more than 50 million children under 5 years of age are wasted (weight-for-length/height Z-score (WLZ) <-2) and over 150 million children under 5 are stunted (length/height-for-age Z-score (LAZ) <-2); such wasting and stunting often begin during infancy.1 Optimal nutrition can prevent wasting and stunting. Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) is widely recommended by community health workers, doctors and nurses and provides optimal nutrition for most infants. However, early growth faltering is common for infants in low and middle income countries (LMIC) and can both increase an infant's risk of early mortality and also lead to deficits in attained height and weight throughout childhood. Thus research is needed to determine the most efficacious strategy to promote healthy early growth in LMIC. Objective: The proposed study will test the efficacy of early small-volume supplementation (ESVS) for increasing weight-for-age z-score (WAZ) at 1 month of age. Methodology: The PRIMES pilot (Study 3) will be a randomized clinical trial enrolling infants in Guinea-Bissau and Uganda weighing ≥2000g at birth. Infants weighing 2000-2499g at <6 hours of age (n=144; 72 per site) will be randomized on enrollment to one of two groups: 1) Early Small-Volume Supplementation (ESVS intervention group), which consists of up to 59 mL formula administered daily after breastfeeding through 30 days of age followed by EBF through 6 months of age; or 2) frequent exclusive breastfeeding without any food or fluid other than vitamins, minerals and medications (control) through 6 months of age. Infants weighing 2500-3300g at <6 hours of age will be weighed again at 4 days of age; those weighing <2600g at 4 days of age (n=180; 90 per site) will be randomized to the same intervention and control groups. Weight will be measured on all enrolled babies at birth on Day 1 and at 4, 14, 30, 60 and 180 days of age and additional measures including height, MUAC, skinfolds, and hemoglobin will be assessed at other time points. The study's primary outcome will be WAZ at 1 month of age. Secondary outcomes will include WLZ at 1 month of age; WAZ, WLZ and LAZ through 6 months of age; breastfeeding duration and infant intestinal microbiota.
