NCT ID: NCT06394687 Not yet recruiting - Nutrition Clinical Trials

The Digestion of Protein Powders in Healthy Participants Using SIMBA and LIMBA Capsule

Start date: June 10, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study aims to understand how the Milk Protein Concentrate/Fast Protein (MCP/FP) investigational product (IP) compares to a control the Micellar Casein Isolate/Slow Protein (MCI/SP) product in healthy volunteers. It involves two phases where participants will try both products. The main goal is to measure the type and rate of amino acids quickly in the small intestine after consuming the protein products and how this relates to gastric emptying.

Performance of the NGPOD® Device in Verifying the Correct Position in the Stomach of the Naso- or Oro- Gastric Tube in Intensive Care.

NGPOD
Start date: April 1, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

In the ICU, scientific societies recommend starting enteral nutrition within 48 hours of admission, if oral nutrition is not available, in order to limit undernutrition. In patients who are sedated, have swallowing problems or cannot ensure adequate caloric intake, it is essential to insert a feeding tube, usually a nasogastric or orogastric tube for the first few weeks. Placement of a naso- or oro-gastric tube in the intensive care unit is a frequent procedure, and considered to be straightforward. It is usually performed blindly, at the patient's bedside, by a nurse or doctor, according to a departmental protocol or the recommendations of learned societies. Nevertheless, a number of complications have been reported with naso- or oro-gastric tubes, linked in particular to a route outside the digestive tract : malpositioning/coiling of the tube, epistaxis, sinusitis. The most frequent and potentially severe complications are malpositions in the tracheobronchial tree. Radiographic control is currently considered in France and by certain learned societies to be the reference method for verifying correct positioning of the probe in the stomach (at the prepyloric antral level). However, thoracic radiography has a number of drawbacks : In intensive care risk of accidental displacement of other medical devices,irradiation, difficulty of interpretation, delay in obtaining the image, time-consuming work for qualified personnel. An alternative technique using the NGPOD device is proposed as a method of checking the correct positioning of the probe in the stomach. This system enables immediate, rapid (15 seconds), simple and automatic testing at the patient's bedside. The device provides a visual indication of the pH detected at the tip of the gastric tube. The test result is given in binary form: Yes (green signal, probe in stomach) / No (red signal, probe incorrectly positioned). Study hypothesis and prospects: To make an initial estimate of the sensitivity and specificity of the NGPOD system for checking the positioning of the naso- or oro-gastric tube in the stomach, compared with the recognized gold standard, the chest X-ray.

NCT ID: NCT05934318 Not yet recruiting - Pregnancy Clinical Trials

L-ArGinine to pRevent advErse prEgnancy Outcomes (AGREE)

AGREE
Start date: September 30, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

There are few safe, effective, and affordable interventions to improve pregnancy outcomes in low resource settings where the highest rates of poor birth outcomes occur. L-citrulline is naturally found in many foods and is changed into another important amino acid, L-arginine, in the body. L-arginine is important for the growth of a healthy placenta and healthy baby. Adding L-citrulline to the diets of pregnant women may be an effective and affordable way to improve the health of their babies.The goal of the AGREE trial is to test whether a dietary supplement containing a common food component, an amino acid called L-citrulline, can help pregnant Kenyan women at risk of malaria have healthier pregnancies and healthier babies. 2,960 pregnant Kenyan women will be enrolled and randomly assigned to take either a twice daily dietary supplement containing L-citrulline or a placebo supplement without additional L-citrulline. Maternal participants will be seen every month until delivery and at weeks 1 and 6 after birth. Infants will also be followed up at ages 6, 12, 18, and 24 months. The primary outcome of the study is 'adverse pregnancy outcome', a composite of foetal loss (miscarriage or still birth), preterm birth, low birth weight, small for gestational age or neonatal mortality. The results of the AGREE trial could help to guide obstetric and public health policy and provide a sustainable solution that could be implemented at the community level.

NCT ID: NCT05784506 Not yet recruiting - Nutrition Clinical Trials

Metabolites Profiling Reveals Nutrient Processing Patterns Upon Dietary Loading

Start date: March 31, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The reasonable combination of macronutrients including carbohydrates, proteins and fat, is the basis of rational diet and beneficial to treatment of metabolic diseases including obesity and diabetes. Endocrine hormones play pivotal roles in regulation of nutrients metabolism and energy homeostasis. However, the dynamic metabolism following the consumption of macronutrients and the relationship between various metabolites and endocrine hormones during these procedures yet to be adequately explained nowadays. Therefore, in this study, the investigators selected glucose, protein, fat and mixed meal tolerance test (MMTT) for the loading tests, endocrine hormones and metabolites were detected to profile the molecular changes in the plasma. The investigators aimed to explore the nutrient processing patterns of various macronutrients and determine the interaction between metabolic hormones and metabolites.

NCT ID: NCT05779904 Not yet recruiting - Nutrition Clinical Trials

Methylation, mIcrobiome, NUtritional sTatus, and dEvelopment of Stunted Children

MINUTES
Start date: March 31, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The investigators will conduct a case-control study among under-two children in Lombok Timur, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. The power required to detect changes in epigenetic markers may not be sufficient in the cohort study. Therefore, specific case-control design of stunted vs non-stunted children will provide the required power to detect potential epigenetic markers which will be further investigated through targeted sequencing of the cohort study. A total of 150 stunted children will be recruited and then it will be matched with 150 non-stunted children with the same sex. The assessments for these study subjects will include: 1) The genetic and epigenetic profile of the children, gut microbiota and nutritional status (Physical component), 2) Food security, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) and Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) practices (Home-Food component), 3) Children's psychosocial care and cognitive outcome (Cognition component).

NuRISH
Start date: February 1, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

NuRISH is a suite of clinical trials for children from low-income families which will determine whether primary healthcare prescription for: 1) Optimal breastfeeding with support from a mobile lactation consultant vs. usual care and 2) High-quality childcare starting at 1 year vs. usual care can prevent childhood obesity, and improve cardiovascular, developmental and mental health at 2 years of age.

NCT ID: NCT05314244 Not yet recruiting - Nutrition Clinical Trials

Comparison Between Pylorus-resecting and Preserving Pancreaticoduodenectomy on Delayed Gastric Emptying and Nutrition

Start date: May 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Pylorus preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy has been standard procedure for periampullary benign and malignant disease. Delayed gastric emptying is one of most common complications after the procedure. Recently, pylorus resecting pancreaticoduodenectomy has been actively performed because some studies reported that the procedure can reduce postoperative delayed gastric emptying. However, the level of evidence is low and there was few studies considering nutritional status after pylorus resecting pancreaticoduodenectomy. The purpose of this study is to compare between pylorus-resecting and preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy on postoperative delayed gastric emptying and nutritional status.

NCT ID: NCT05207930 Not yet recruiting - Frailty Clinical Trials

GAmified HOme-based COgnitive-Nutritional Training Feasibility Study

GAHOCON
Start date: May 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Background: Cognitive frailty is an at-risk state of dementia that it can be reversed by manipulating the lifestyle factors, such as cognitive activity and nutrition/dietary pattern. Their protective effects depend on a prolonged adherence to these factors. However, in the literature, most of the cognitive interventions are centred-based and supervised. Nutrition intervention depends on the provision of supplement or a complimentary supply of food. There is a lack of interventions with components of sustaining cognitive and nutrition training effect for the community-dwelling older people with cognitive frailty in home settings. Objectives: This study aims to examine the feasibility and preliminary effects of a gamified, home-based, cognitive-nutritional training (GAHOCON) programme for community-dwelling older people with cognitive frailty on protective diet adherence, cognitive function, frailty nutrition, and body composition.

NCT ID: NCT04882566 Not yet recruiting - Ulcerative Colitis Clinical Trials

Assessment of Nutritional Knowledge in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Start date: August 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are increasingly becoming interested in nonpharmacologic approaches to their disease. One of the most frequently asked questions of IBD patients is what they should eat. The role of diet has become very important in the prevention and treatment of IBD. Although there is a general lack of rigorous scientific evidence that demonstrates which diet is best for certain patients, several diets have become popular. Aim of the Work To assess IBD patients' knowledge about the role of nutrition in the management of their Inflammatory Bowel Disease and the dietary beliefs, behaviors, and daily dietary practices in adult IBD patients that they make to avoid exacerbation of disease symptoms or to gain more control of bowel symptoms, keeping in mind our traditional and oriental food and food habits in Egypt. Also to evaluate the role of one of the most common dietary regimens; the Paleolithic diet in active mild or moderate inflammatory bowel disease.
