Filter by:This study is intended to estimate the relative bioavailability of a single 500 mg dose of bosutinib when administered as capsule contents mixed with applesauce or yogurt to intact capsules under fed condition in adult healthy participants. The comparisons will be performed using the pharmacokinetic parameters that define the rate and extent of absorption, those are Cmax and AUC. Statistical analyses will be performed comparing these parameters calculated after administration of a single 500 mg dose with the intact capsule formulation (100 mg x 5) as the Reference treatment and the capsule contents mixed with applesauce or yogurt (100 mg x 5) as the Test treatments.
Malnutrition is an epidemiologic problem with high prevalence in Mexico. Mexican children present a double burden of malnutrition characterized by the coexistence of undernutrition and micronutrient deficiency alongside excess body weight. Malnutrition is caused by inadequate nutrition, including micronutrients deficiencies, in which children living in rural areas and indigenous populations are disproportionately affected. Malnutrition has been associated with an increased risk of metabolic abnormalities like metabolic syndrome (MS), diabetes, and cardiovascular disease in adulthood. Nutrition-specific interventions are strategies that may reduce or avert malnutrition in children. However, limited intervention studies have been implemented in low-income populations, particularly in rural areas. Therefore, studies that include nutrition-specific intervention with enriched foods aimed at reducing micronutrients deficiencies and that can help in prevention or treatment of metabolic conditions in these populations are still needed. Based on the nutritional characterization carried out in school children in Chimalhuacán, Mexico State, a formula in a powder form was designed for children containing vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids that can be used to enrich foods. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of a 4-week intervention with cookies enriched with a micronutrient formula on the nutritional status in Maya schoolchildren aged 8-10 years. Participants (n=84) were their own control, and the investigators measured, at pre- and post-intervention, anthropometric, clinical, biochemical, and cognitive parameters; diet and molecular parameters were assessed only at pre-intervention. Chi-square test, t-Student paired or Wilcoxon, ANCOVA, and logistic regression were performed to analyze the data.
This study was a double-blind randomized controlled trial conducted to assess the effectiveness of high protein liquid dietary supplementation in malnourished hospitalized patients. The patients were assessed for their nutritional status based on ESPEN 2015 criteria. Patients who experienced malnutrition will be divided into 2 groups, namely the control group which was given a normal protein liquid diet, while the intervention group was given high protein liquid diet supplementation as much as 2 bottles (200 mL) per day for 7-10 days. Furthermore, the nutritional status of the patient was assessed.
In preparation for a future mechanistic study, investigators now propose to test the specific hypothesis that carnitine consumption is not reduced in PAH, that plasma carnitine levels are stable over time in PAH and that carnitine supplementation in PAH can increase plasma carnitine and thereby delivery of carnitine to the RV and possibly improve RV function. Investigators propose three aims in humans to test this mechanistic hypothesis, 1) Measure the oral consumption of carnitine in human PAH. This aim will use food diaries and carnitine supplement use questionnaires in PAH patients to test the hypothesis that carnitine supplementation is uncommon in PAH and food consumption is adequate. Aim 2) Measure the stability over time in plasma carnitine levels in PAH patients. This aim will test the hypothesis that plasma carnitine is not affected by disease severity and is stable over time in PAH patients. Investigators will measure plasma carnitine concentration and markers of fatty acid oxidation at Visit 1 and Visit 2. 3) Perform a mechanistic pilot study using carnitine supplementation to enhance circulating carnitine in PAH. This small pilot study will test the hypothesis that carnitine supplementation increases plasma carnitine (primary endpoint) and will test for physiologic effects using six minute walk testing, echocardiography and plasma markers of lipid metabolism.
This research compares the effects of one-year continuous whole egg supplement vs. egg yolk substitutes and control on anthropometry, biochemical blood parameters, metabolic enzymes and microbiome data in primary school children.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the bioequivalence between: - Dapagliflozin 10 mg tablets from Jiangsu Hansoh Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd.,China; and - Farxiga® 10 mg tablets from AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals LP, USA; after a single-dose in healthy subjects under fed conditions. The secondary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the study treatments.
The IRAM MALI impact evaluation uses a cluster-randomized controlled study design to assess the impact of the package of integrated interventions aimed at reducing the longitudinal prevalence of wasting by reducing the incidence of child wasting, enhancing the recovery/cure rate from wasting treatment and reducing the relapse rate determined three months after post-treatment recovery from wasting. These interventions include, among other things, strengthening of community care groups (NASGs); home visits with delivery of behavioral change communication about nutrition, health and hygiene (WASH) for young children; distribution of a preventive nutritional supplement; and improved coverage of wasting screening (family MUAC and community screening), management, adherence to treatment and prevention of relapse in the health district of Koutiala, Sikasso region, Mali, West Africa.
The IRAM Chad impact evaluation will be based on a cluster randomized controlled trial to study the impact of the integrated and multisectoral services package (PASIM), aimed at reducing the incidence and prevalence of wasting through integrated interventions, including, among other things, strengthening the activity of community care groups, food supplementation, water treatment, and screening for wasting conducted by families.
Proteins play an important role as structural and functional components for the human body and prevent stunting. Protein quality has a great importance in meeting the nutritional needs of populations across the world throughout the life course, particularly during pregnancy and early childhood. Dietary protein deficiency is mainly due to protein indigestibility limiting indispensable amino acids (IAAs) bioavailability. In Morocco, as it's the case in many developing countries, diet is mainly based on a large consumption of cereals, fruits, vegetables and pulses, and is generally low in meat, which is the main source of protein and IAA. The general objective of this study is to evaluate the digestibility of Fava bean proteins and bioavailability of IAA using a dual-tracer method with stable isotopes.
The VideoDining study is a Stage IB behavioral intervention development project. The objectives are to determine the feasibility and acceptability of using video chat during mealtimes (VideoDining) in community-dwelling older adults eating alone at home and to evaluate changes in nutritional intake and loneliness in response to VideoDining.
