Filter by:A randomized controlled trial to determine the effect of reducing iodine from vitamin and mineral supplements for pregnant women who have adequate iodine intakes (>165 μg/d from food alone) on cognitive development of children at 24 months of age.
Primary outcome is assessment of nutritional status of children with CKD. Secondary outcome is assessment STAMP screening tool for detection of malnutrition of CKD children.
Prospective, double-arm, multi-center cohort study on obese patients, for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy versus Roux-en Y gastric bypass
The aim of the study primarily was to investigate the value of zinc to copper ratio as possible biomarker of trace elements imbalance in morbidly obese subjects undergoing LSG. Secondly to correlate zinc to copper ratio with lipocalin 2 (Lcn2) with respect to Anthropometric measurements and other metabolic biomarkers. Prospective study will be carried out on 120 morbidly obese adult subjects with a body mass index (BMI) score above 40 along with presence of obesity-related comorbidity. Investigations will be measured preoperative and 9 months postoperative after performing Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy; for Body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference. As well as for complete blood count and biochemical biomarkers as fasting blood glucose, lipid profile, serum iron and ferritin. Serum Ceruloplasmin, Zn and Cu levels, followed by calculation of zinc to copper ratio. CRP, serum insulin, serum leptin and lipocalin-2 (Lcn2) will be determined.
This cross-over meal study is a four-way intervention with 12 volunteers randomized at the same time to four meals with fried meats (beef, pork, chicken and amino-acid matched non-meat control) and to four meals with potato products (boiled, chips, fries, and a control with boiled white rice) to search for biomarkers of intake.
This is an acceptability study (including gastrointestinal tolerance, compliance and palatability) of a high energy peptide based paediatric oral nutritional supplement for children over 12 months of age. The acceptability data from a minimum of 15 participants will be collected in order to submit an application to the Advisory Committee on Borderline Substances (ACBS).
The nutritional consequences of the infection by the SARS-CoV-2 are as follows: - A severe respiratory infection induces an inflammatory syndrome and hypercatabolism, as well as an increase in energy expenditure related to ventilatory work; nutritional requirements (calories and protein) are therefore increased. - Food intake is often reduced by several factors: anorexia secondary to infection, respiratory discomfort, anosmia, ageusia, obesity, stress, confinement, organizational problems limiting meal assistance. Then, it is important to asses the nutritional status of COVID patients hospitalized in conventional COVID units (excluding intensive care).
Burn patients treated in an outpatient clinic and ICU survivors are at risk of malnutrition. There are no clear guidelines determining the energy target in those two populations. The aim of this observation study is to measure the resting energy expenditure of those patients, using indirect calorimetry.
The goal of this study is to gather data on the tolerance and acceptability of a new ONS (ESj-powder complete) in children currently taking ONS.
The investigator will investigate the effect of supplemental enteral protein (1.2 g/kg/day) added to standard formula to achieve high amount of enteral protein (range 2-2.4 g/kg/day) given from ICU day 5 until ICU discharge up to ICU day 90 as compared to no supplemental enteral protein to achieve moderate amount enteral protein (0.8-1.2 g/kg/day), given in conjunction with similar amounts of stepwise caloric administration in the two groups on all-cause 90-day mortality.
