The overall goal of this inquiry is to determine whether PALS is more effective than comparable online resources at educating patients in the outpatient clinic setting about nutrition. Participants will be randomly assigned to view either a PALS article or WebMD article on the same nutrition topic. Participants will then fill out a post-survey to assess knowledge uptake and attitudes regarding healthy eating.
The primary research question: In critically ill patients with nutrition 'risk factors', what is the effect of providing combined EN/PN to the group prescribed a higher dose (≥2.2 grams/kg/day) of protein/amino acid administration compared to a low group prescribed ≤1.2 gram/kg/day (EN only) on patient's functional recovery as measured by 6-minute walk distance just prior to hospital discharge? The hypothesis: Compared to a control group reflective of usual care prescribing practices and an EN only approach, the administration of a higher dose protein/amino acids using EN and PN to nutritionally high-risk critically ill patients will be associated with improved functional outcome.
The objective of this unblinded study is to assess the nutritional effects of a 12 weeks administration of the specific enteral nutrition (SEN) RealDiet®Renal pockets, as well as the impact on the patients' quality of life.
Objective of this study are: 1) To determine if medication help extreme preterm infants to tolerate feeding better by reaching full feeding earlier.2) Out of two medication; which one is better for efficacy 1) Erythromycin 2) Metoclopramide. Infants who meet inclusion criteria would be entered to study after parental consent. Infant would be blinded to care givers. Infants will be randomized to receive one of three medication for 7-14 days. If infants fail on one medication they will be allowed to crossover to other medication. Infant would be allowed to treat like other infants. Blindness can be broken if deem necessary by attending neonatologist.
Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy has been shown to significantly reduce weight and has been approved as a treatment of morbid obesity. The standard laparoscopic operation requires five small incisions for the introduction of instruments and the band into the patient's abdomen. The investigators have developed a technique for performing this operation through a single incision at the belly button. This study compares this method to the conventional 5-incision approach.
This trial will be conducted in the United States of America (USA). The aim of this clinical trial is to investigate whether NNC 0070-0002-0349 is safe and well tolerated. Groups of eight subjects will be administered subcutaneous injections of NNC 0070-0002-0349 or placebo on Day 1 beginning with a low dose; after which laboratory and vital sign data as well as subject reported adverse events will be evaluated. If safe to proceed, the next group of subjects will be given a higher dose and the safety evaluation performed again before proceeding. In total, 5 dose levels will be evaluated. Subjects will be administered a dose and remain in the clinic until the morning of Day 8 after dosing and vital signs and safety labs as well as blood drawn for pharmacokinetic samples taken. Subjects will return to the clinic on Days 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 and 22 for repeat blood draws and safety labs. Day 22 is the final study visit.
