Active clinical trials for "Diarrhea, Infantile"

This study is a randomized, placebo-controlled, single-masked (blinded), post-marketing clinical study of a drug Lactobacillus Reuteri NCIMB 30351 drops in functional disorders of gastrointestinal tract and skin symptoms of food allergies in children between the ages of one and four months inclusive. The aim of the study is to assess clinical effects of probiotics Lactobacillus Reuteri NCIMB 30351 drops on the symptoms of infantile colic, constipation, diarrhea, gastroesophageal reflux, atopic dermatitis/eczema in full-term newborns during the first months of life, laboratory parameters of microbiome will also be assessed. A prospective study comparing two treatment groups: Group 1 (treatment group) - 60 infants. Group 2 (control group) - 30 infants, placebo. The study drug will be taken in 1 time per day within 25 days. Allowed symptomatic therapy includes defoamers (simethicone-based preparations), carminative preparations (dill water (fennel)), etc.

Randomized double blinded clinical trial comparing amino acid based oral rehydration solution/medical food and glucose-based oral rehydration solution is infectious diarrhea in pediatric population

This study assesses whether prompting the supply of zinc and LO-ORS co-packs in the private sector coupled with behavior change communication (BCC) has an effect on the treatment of uncomplicated childhood diarrhea. In addition the study will evaluate the acceptability, adoption, feasibility and coverage of the intervention model. One group of children and caregivers will receive the current standard of care and will be exposed to standard BCC and the second group will be exposed to the private sector component and to a modified BCC.

The purpose of this study is to assess how free distribution and preemptive home delivery of oral rehydration salts (ORS) by community health workers affects ORS use. The investigators will measure the impact of the combination of the two interventions (free distribution + pre-emptive home delivery) as well as the impact of each intervention separately (free distribution without home delivery and pre-emptive home delivery without free distribution).

Evaluation of the efficacy of a treatment with Actitan-F, a natural molecular complex of tannins (from Agrimony and Tormentil) and flavonoids (Chamomile) in a pediatric population of children affected by acture/prolonged/chronic diarrhea

This interventional trial shall investigate the efficacy and tolerance of a suspension with non-pathogenic probiotic E. coli strain Nissle (EcN) on prophylaxis against gastrointestinal infections in newborn and infants. ECN-SUSPENSION is a probiotic containing viable E. coli bacteria of the non-pathogenic Nissle 1917 strain at a concentration of 10exp8 cells per ml.

This study will conduct an evaluation of the World Health Partners (WHP) private provider project to see if the social franchising and telemedicine project has an impact on health outcomes in treatment vs. control areas. The evaluation will also estimate specific parameters of the WHP program that can be used to maximize financial sustainability and replicability/scalability of the program.

Heat stable toxin (ST) producing ETEC strains are important causes of childhood diarrhea in many countries. Vaccine candidates targeting ST are in development. A human challenge model using an epidemiologically relevant enterotoxigenic E.coli (ETEC) strain expressing ST, but not other diarrhea inducing toxins like heat labile toxin (LT), is necessary to perform an early and efficient evaluation of an ST-toxoid based vaccine. In this controlled human infection study the investigators will assess the safety of a ST-only producing ETEC strain and the dose needed to achieve an attack rate of 70% in healthy human volunteers.

Acute diarrhea in children is a public health problem. It is estimated that children under 3 years are subject to 1 or 2 episodes of diarrhea per year in Europe. These diarrheal episodes are frequent, expensive and responsible for many consultations and hospitalizations in developed countries. The origin of diarrhea in children is viral in about 70% of cases. The diagnosis of a viral infection is often considered without microbiological evidence. However, microbiological evidence is recommended for certain categories of patients. The involvement of bacteria or parasites in the child's diarrhea does not seem negligible. The main objective of this study is to estimate the prevalence of infectious diarrhea among summer diarrhea in children leading to pediatric emergency room visits. Secondarily, we will describe the pathogens responsible for childhood diarrhea during the summer period, describe common factors that can serve as guidance on the etiology of diarrhea, and describe common factors that can be used as tools. preventive to the transmission of these pathogens.

This study was advocated by Institute of Basic Research in Clinical Medicine, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences in October 2011. It was funded by China major scientific and technological specialized project for 'significant new formulation of new drugs'. Xiyanping is kind of Chinese Medicine injection used for treating viral pneumonia 、bronchitis、amygdalitis、infantile diarrhea、bacillary dysentery 、virus hepatitis、and Children acute hot diseases in many Chinese hospitals. The purpose of this study is to determine adverse drug events or adverse drug reaction in large sample size 20,000 patients.
