Filter by: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.
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.
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.
This study has purpose to investigated the association of protein intake with sarcopenia in the institutionalized elderly at south tangerang
This study aims to provide some insight into the variation of SD-D protein levels in patients with Covid-19 (-) pneumonia, Covid-19 (+) pneumonia, and CT negative Covid-19 infection in comparison to the normal population through a larger number of cases. Objective of the study is to determine the serum surfactant protein D (SP-D) levels in Covid-19 pneumonia infection.
The investigation will be conducted as a double blinded, randomized, crossover within-participant comparison design with two 1-week intervention periods separated by 2-weeks for wash out, recovery, period.
This is an observational, cross-sectional study to be conducted on the Nutrition Insights Day (NID), with retrospective review of patient medical charts. No prospective follow-up period is considered. This study aims to obtain a contemporary overview of the nutritional status, the use of EN and/or PN and the provision of calories and proteins in patients after major elective gastrointestinal surgery with existing malnutrition or at risk of hospital malnutrition in selected Asian countries.
The purposes of the study are: - To strictly ensure the appropriate level of protein and caloric provision in critical illness, according to the latest literature recommendation; - To determine if an association exists between protein intake and nitrogen balance in the context of a nutrition with appropriate protein provision based on the latest literature recommendations, rather than in a standard diet with a caloric target weight-based. Creatinine clearance will also be evaluated to determine if there is any harmful effect to the kidney secondary to an elevated BUN. - To determine if there is a difference in ICU mortality rate between the current nutrition standard and a hyperproteic nutrition protocol.
The purpose of this study is to learn more about what causes insulin resistance. It has been suggested that proper breakdown of fat into energy (oxidation) in the body is important to allow insulin to keep blood sugar in the normal range. The investigators want to know if having one of the fatty acid oxidation disorders could have an influence on insulin action. Fatty acid oxidation disorders are genetic disorders that inhibit one of the enzymes that converts fat into energy. The investigators will study both normal healthy people and people with a long-chain fatty acid oxidation disorder.
The study also determines if eating a diet higher in protein alters body composition, energy balance and metabolic control among patients with a long-chain fatty acid oxidation disorder.
