Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about in patients with prolong mechanical ventilation. This main questions aims to answer are: - High protein formula intake benefit in successful weaning from ventilator - Core muscle rehabilitation benefit in successful weaning from ventilator - neuromuscular electric stimulation benefit in successful weaning from ventilator Participants will receive high protein diet, core muscle rehabilitation, neuromuscular electric stimulation (NMES). Researchers will compare patients with interventions to control group to see if high protein diet, core muscle rehabilitation, neuromuscular electric stimulation works.
The investigation will be conducted as a double blinded, randomized, parallel between treatment conditions comparison design with two different groups ingesting a different supplement each one.

This research project aims at better understanding the early biological effects resulting from occupational exposure to complex Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) mixtures. Current biomarkers used as part of biomonitoring campaigns are biomarkers of exposure, not numerous and poorly related to health effects. The aim of this study is thus to improve our understanding of biological consequences of such exposures, both in terms of proteins deregulation, metabolism deregulation and genotoxicity.
The aim of this pilot study is to conduct a study on geriatric population in Slovenia (non-users of dietary supplements/medicines with vitamine D, vitamin B12 and protein) and assess deficiency of selected nutrients, and to investigate the efficiency of the innovative food supplement prototype in improving nutritional status of elderly adults.
This double blind randomized placebo controlled trial investigates the effect of protein supplementation on fat free mass loss in patients who underwent a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.
The present study is a parallel group design with randomised allocation to either a 1) reduced protein diet (RP) or a 2) normal protein diet (NP). The two groups will be pair-matched based on habitual dietary protein intake, endurance training, endurance performance, and sex. The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of reducing dietary protein (~1g protein/kg body mass) compared to an eucaloric normal protein diet (~2g protein/kg body mass) for 6 weeks in well-trained endurance athletes on endurance performance, body composition, skeletal muscle protein synthesis, and health-related outcomes. The hypothesis is that endurance performance will maintain or even be improved in well-trained endurance athletes after a 6-week dietary intervention of an eucaloric, protein reduced diet compared to a normal protein rich diet.
The purpose of the study is to determine if an oral ketone beverage is safe and well-tolerated during moderate intensity exercise in participants with long-chain fatty acid oxidation disorders and if it will raise blood ketones to levels similar to that reported among normal healthy subjects.
To obtain up-to-date data on nutritional status of older adults, a national dietary survey will be conducted in 2022/2023, providing data on the consumption of foods and enabling the assessment intakes of energy and specific nutrients. Participating subjects will be also screened for micronutrient status using blood biomarkers (focusing into vitamin D, folic acid, vitamin B12, and iron).
The aim of the study is to improve the quality of nutritional therapy for patients admitted with Acute Severe Ulcerative Colitis (ASUC) treated with high-dose steroids. This study consists of two randomized interventions and one observational part regarding protein, magnesium, and metabolic stress. First an interventional part aims to explore the effect of a high-protein diet during and after admission on different parameters regarding protein turnover.Second the study aims to explore the degree of magnesium depletion in ASUC. In case of magnesium depletion, the study aims to investigate whether oral magnesium supplementation can regain body stores of magnesium. Last the study aims to observe the degree of metabolic stress, including, the degree of insulin resistance, in ASUC during admission and under treatment with high-dose steroids compared to three weeks after discharge.
