Growth-restricted very preterm infants (VPT) are born without adequate fat mass (FM) deposits and low docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) concentrations. They often experience further declines in DHA concentrations during the initial three weeks post-birth while advancing enteral feeds and receiving lipid supplementation predominantly through parenteral nutrition. These suboptimal enteral and parenteral nutrition practices significantly heighten the risk of faltering postnatal growth. One promising approach to mitigate these issues is enteral DHA supplementation. However, it remains unclear whether the early administration of DHA through enteral supplementation could lead to a more substantial increase in head growth without affecting FM accretion in growth-restricted VPT infants. To address this question, we propose a masked randomized clinical trial involving 152 VPT infants.
Novel barley varieties high in the soluble fiber β-glucan have the capacity to improve population health through improving glycemic control. Sweetened and unsweetened wholegrain barley foods were tested in a randomized, controlled, crossover human clinical trial to assess impact on postprandial appetite and food intake.
Nutrients important to bones. Because bones undergo continuous remodeling, an adequate supply of nutrient substrate is needed to support the formation phase of bone remodeling. In addition to their passive roles as substrate for bone formation, dietary calcium and protein play active roles in bone metabolism, as well as phosphorus and vitamin D. Other vitamins and minerals are also needed for metabolic processes related to bone, directly or indirectly.
The objective of this investigation was to assess the predictive capacity of the NUTRIC Score and NRS-2002, separately or combined, in forecasting hospital, 28-day and 3-month mortality in patients with respiratory failure admitted to the intensive care unit.
In this trial, the investigators aim to assess impact of goat milk-based infant formula on the severity and frequency of gastrointestinal symptoms, as well as other associated symptoms, and the health-related quality of life in infants exhibiting symptoms possibly related to cow's milk, compared to a cow milk-based formula.
The study is a prospective, single-center, randomized controlled trial that will be conducted at the Medical University of Varna. This setting offers access to a wealth of clinical expertise in managing CP and ASD and a rich tradition of conducting robust nutritional interventions.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the impact of Kangaroo Care (holding your baby skin-to-skin on your chest) in lactating parents with babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) that cannot directly breastfeed.
The goal of this observational study is to examine how performed frenotomy in term-born infants influences the breastfeeding duration. The main questions the study aims to answer are how a suspected tongue-tie, vacuum strength, and breastfeeding may be associated. Families of infants with tongue-tie where frenotomy is suspected will be invited to participate. Intra-oral vacuum measurements before and 5-10 days after frenotomy will be obtained and the breastfeeding status followed for 6 months.
The goal of this clinical study is to assess the api-api mangrove sword bean food bar effect on the older people's weight affected by a landslide The main questions aimed to answer are: - Can api-api mangrove sword bean food bar improve the weight of older people affected by landslide? - Can balanced nutrition education increase the older peoples' knowledge? Participants divided in the two groups i.e.: - Treatment group received 50 g mangrove sword bean food bar each day during 15 days. - Control group received 50 g sword bean food bar each day during 15 days. - Both groups obtained balanced nutrition of older people education once at the first week of study.
