Filter by:Randomized double blind controlled clinical trial. Participants will be enrolled at the New Civil Hospital of Guadalajara "Dr. Juan I. Menchaca" during the period from May 2017 to July 2018, from six to 59 months of either sex. The duration of each participant in the study will be of four weeks. Each participant will be randomized assigned to any of the different study groups: synbiotic, prebiotic, probiotic or placebo. Hypothesis: The efficacy of supplementation with a symbiotic, a prebiotic and a probiotic differs in its beneficial effect on the intestinal microbiota and the characteristics of feces in children with CP and chronic constipation.
The problem posed is the possibility of objectively assessing facial muscle mobility. Today, in patients with facial paralysis, the assessment of the deficit is carried out using a subjective scale such as the House Brackman [1] or EMG scale of the facial nerve but does not distinguish each muscle individually . Objective measurements of skin muscles such as thickness and volume, in preoperative assessment of a facial paralysis rehabilitation surgery, would be useful in order to choose the most appropriate surgical technique. Indeed, too much amyotrophy will contraindicate hypoglosso-facial anastomosis (VII-XII) and it will be preferable to propose a temporal elongation myoplasty or a reinfused free muscle flap. Similarly, it would be useful to be able to objectively evaluate the recovery of muscle function after facial allo-transplantation. Although electromyography has been developed since the work of Duchenne de Boulogne, little research has been carried out on the development of noninvasive methods to objectively characterize in vivo skin muscles (variation, position, orientation, morphometry). The main morphometric data of the skin muscles come from anatomical dissections. Imaging of the skin muscles has not been specifically developed. Some studies have been carried out to visualize these muscles in MRI 1.5 Tesla in pathologies such as myasthenia gravis, facial paralysis, and labio-alveolo-palatine clefts for example. The originality of the project is to develop a method allowing to establish a quantitative correlation between the movements of the face and the muscular changes. This correlation will be achieved by associating muscular morphological data derived from MRI acquisitions and cutaneous deformations resulting from clinical examinations. This non-invasive approach should make it possible to establish objective and reproducible indicators in patients with facial paralysis sequelae.

This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic potential of human amniotic epithelial cell (hAEC) transplant in the management of children with spastic cerebral palsy.
The purpose of the study is to testify the efficacy of treating trochlear nerve palsy with ocular electroacupuncture or ocular acupuncture, and to compare the efficacy between these two interventions.

The purpose of the study is to testify the efficacy of treating oculomotor nerve palsy with ocular electroacupuncture or ocular acupuncture, and to compare the efficacy between these two interventions.
The investigator will compare Costoclavicular approach of infraclavicular block and supraclavicular block. Especially, the incidence of phrenic nerve palsy and the quality of block.
Standard treatment options for patients who are diagnosed with BVFP include tracheostomy, cordotomy, arytenoidectomy, and suture tie-back. These standard treatment options may result in permanent damage to the vocal fold, therefore affecting the patient's ability to speak and compromising airway protection during swallowing. Additionally, these routine procedures cannot provide sufficient airway to permit significant aerobic activity. The goal in conducting this early feasibility study is to investigate the use of this device as a laryngeal pacemaker to treat BVFP.
