Filter by:The objective of the research project is to establish an evidence-based sustainable nutrition service delivery platform for optimizing pregnancy weight gain, increasing dietary diversity of adolescent girls, and ensuring proper physical growth of under 2 children. Hypothesis 1. Pregnant Women: Intensive nutrition and WASH counseling, iron-folate, calcium supplementation during pregnancy, can improve gestational weight gain and improve hemoglobin status in pregnant women in a slum of Dhaka city 2. Adolescent girl: Iron and zinc supplementation and nutrition counseling on dietary diversity could improve nutritional status and dietary diversity score in adolescent girls of slums in Dhaka 3. Children <2 years: Counselling on IYCF, growth monitoring, and promotion, ensuring six-monthly vitamin A supplementation, counseling on WASH, treatment of acute malnutrition, and daily 1 egg supplementation for 3 months for severely stunted children can improve the nutritional status of children 4. Counselling to improve Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) practice: WASH intervention can improve EED biomarkers
To compare changes in body mass index (BMI) Z-score following treatment with OLZ/SAM vs olanzapine
A total of 100 patients aged 18-60 years with confirmed diagnosis of achalasia cardia will be recruited prospectively. In this study, patients diagnosed with achalasia cardia (prior to per oral endoscopic myotomy treatment) will undergo comprehensive evaluation of their nutritional status. All the participants will be asked about the details enlisted in pre-tested proforma.The evaluation will include demographic data(age, gender, food preferences, socio economic status,underlying diseases such as hypertension diabetes mellitus etc) anthropometric assessment (height, weight, Body Mass Index, weight loss and duration, percentage weight loss, midupperarm circumference , triceps skin fold, hand grip strength) and biochemical assessment (Hemoglobin, serum albumin and serum pre-albumin,total protein, serum Vitamin D, calcium, B12, serum iron). Each patients' dietary habits will be assessed by SUBJECTIVE GLOBAL ASSESMENT questionnaire (weight change, dietary intake, gastrointestinal symptoms, functional capacity, oedema, subcutaneous fat,muscle wasting, ascites.The obtained data will be statistically analyzed and interpreted. As we are in the midst of COVID-19 pandemic, we will be taking utmost safety precautions to prevent cross-infection. The doctor performing the study and the accompanying technician will be donning the personal protection equipment all throughout the study.
Allergy prevalence is increasing steadily with some describing as the "epidemic of the twenty-first century". Maternal diet during pregnancy has been linked to offspring allergy risk, so it represents a potential target for allergy prevention. The Mediterranean Diet (MD) is considered one of the healthiest dietary models which exerts regulatory effects on immune system, due to the synergistic and interactive combinations of nutrients. We aim to study the effects of MD in pregnancy on the onset of allergic diseases at 2 years of age in the offspring.
The World Federation of Obesity warns that the main health problem of the next decade will be childhood obesity. Furthermore, obesity and its consequences have been reported to originate in intrauterine life. Gestational obesity produces profound effects on fetal genome programming, thereby inducing changes in prenatal metabolism that extend to the postnatal period, which is also associated with increased susceptibility to developing cardiovascular and metabolic diseases in adulthood. Excessive maternal weight gain early in pregnancy has been repeatedly associated with increased adiposity in childhood and adolescence of its offspring. Obesity is a complex phenomenon influenced by social determinants of health, which include demographic, socioeconomic, behavioral, environmental, and genetic factors. At the primary prevention level, nutrition constitutes a modifiable risk factor during pregnancy. Therefore establishing healthy nutritional behaviors during the first trimester of pregnancy is key to the primary prevention of the intergenerational transmission of obesity. New ways of approaching the target population are required to maintain nutritional recommendations as a priority in the daily decision-making (top of mind) of pregnant women. For many women, this period is a powerful motivator for self-care. Interventions based on behavioral theories provide a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms that determine health-related behavior change and have the potential to be more effective in promoting adherence to weight gain control. Social Cognitive Theory (TCS) is an integrated model of behavior change commonly applied in mobile health interventions that address diet, physical activity or weight loss. Mobile health programs (mHealth) are potentially more effective than face-to-face interventions, especially during a public health emergency like the COVID-19 outbreak. This proposal intends to "deliver" messages with evidence-based information directly to pregnant women, in order to influence their nutritional behavior to avoid excessive gestational weight gain. The hypothesis of this proposal is that the mHealth intervention called "mami-educ", which consists of sending messages with nutrition counseling during pregnancy through the Telegram platform, is effective in reducing excessive gestational weight gain in pregnant women attending Family Health Care Centers in an urban and predominantly rural area.
This project will increase knowledge about how a simple intervention, grocery delivery, impacts weight gain and diet among low-income pregnant young women. Results can then be used to support other pregnant young women.
Randomized controlled parallel open-label study in persons living with HIV. The aim is to study weight changes in patients switching from a dolutegravir and tenofovir disoproxil containing regimen to either a dolutegravir or tenofovir disoproxil free regimen.
This study aims to compare two FDA approved medications (aripiprazole and risperidone) for the treatment of behavioral dysregulation in children with autism spectrum disorders. This trial, done in the context of routine clinical care, will seek to evaluate whether aripiprazole or risperidone is associated with more weight gain in children.
This study is designed as a prospective multicenter randomized controlled clinical trial comparing two surgical techniques of distal gastric bypass (DGB) in revisional surgery following failed Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Patients will be randomly allocated 1:1 to A) DGB with lengthening of the BPL (DGB type I) or B) DGB with extended AL (DGB type II). Randomisation is stratified for participating center. The study will be performed in a clinical and out-patient setting with regular visits at 1.5, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24 and 36 months post intervention. The study will be set up as a multicenter study with bariatric centers: St. Antonius hospital, Groene Hart hospital, OLVG, Rijnstate hospital, Elisabeth Twee-steden Hospital, Bravis hospital, Medisch Centrum Leeuwarden, Catharina Hospital.
A randomized clinical trial will be conducted in which effect of behavioral intervention (Text message of dietary salt and fluid restriction) on inter-dialytic weight gain in hemodialysis patients. The purpose of this is to evaluate the efficacy of a technology supported intervention for reducing inter-dialytic weight gain and dietary sodium intake in patients undergoing intermittent hemodialysis.
