Active clinical trials for "Malnutrition"

To demonstrate the bioequivalence of Azithromycin 600 mg Tablets Under Fed Conditions.

Prospective, short-term studies in patients admitted for acute stroke have shown an increased risk of infections, bedsores, impaired functional outcome, slower rate of recovery, poorer rehabilitation potential and higher mortality in patients with a poor nutritional status. In hospitals without routine nutritional assessment and individual nutrition management plans, the risk of patients developing malnutrition may be increased. In this study, patients admitted for acute stroke are randomised into either receiving nutritional therapy derived from estimated individual nutritional intake and nutritional needs, or nutritional therapy based on routine care without routine assessment of nutritional status, intake, or needs. The primary outcome measure is the percentage of patients with weight loss ≥ 5 % at three month follow-up.

This study aims to investigate the compliance of high-energy, low-volume oral nutritional supplements (ONS) compared to equivalent high-energy standard ONS (control) in participants at risk of malnutrition.

This feasibility study will look to identify the impact that a remote/virtual nutritional intervention can have on nutrition literacy and knowledge retention of the cardiac surgery patient.

Background: Millions of children in low resource settings are at high risk of poor development due to factors such as undernutrition, inadequate stimulation and maternal depression. Evidence based interventions to address these risk factors exist, but often as a separate and overlapping packages delivered through disjointed systems, therefore posing problems in scale-up. A common elements approach based intervention that combines evidence-based elements from packages of care addressing early stimulation, responsive feeding and maternal distress have been developed. Objectives: The current study aims to develop an online training curriculum to train lay health workers in common elements based intervention to improve maternal psychological well-being and improve mother-infant interaction among distressed mothers in low resource rural community settings of Pakistan. The impact of intervention on maternal well-being, infant growth, nutrition and development will be evaluated at 12-months post-partum. Method: A two arm, single blind, individual randomized controlled trial (RCT) will be carried out in the community settings of the rural sub-district of Gujar Khan in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. 250 Pregnant women in third trimester of pregnancy, screened positive for psychological distress on Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ), cut-off score ≥ 9, will be randomized on 1:1 allocation ratio into intervention (n=125) and Treatment as Usual (TAU) arms (n=125). The participants in the intervention arm will receive 15 monthly sessions of intervention by community volunteers at home. First three sessions will be delivered in the third trimester of pregnancy followed by one monthly session for 12 months. The primary outcome will be caregiver-infant interaction at 12-months post-partum. The maternal secondary outcomes include maternal psychological wellbeing, quality of life, social support and empowerment. Maternal outcomes will be measured at baseline, 6-months and 12-months post-partum. Infant secondary outcomes include growth, nutrition and development and will be measured at 12 months. A mixed-methods process monitoring and evaluation will be conducted to inform the feasibility of intervention delivery. Discussion: The outcomes of the study will be a common-elements based online training curriculum for training of community volunteers in intervention to improve maternal psychological well-being and mother-infant interaction in low resource rural community settings at-scale.

The objective of this study was to prove the bioequivalence of Montelukast Chewable Tablet under fed conditions

The study objective is to evaluate the benefits of Oral Nutritional Supplementation (ONS) plus Dietary Counseling (DC) in newly admitted hospital subjects with moderate or severe malnutrition.

The purpose of this study is to compare the rate and extent of absorption of Dr. Reddy's Desloratadine 5 mg tablet to that of Clarinex® 5 mg tablet in healthy subjects under fed conditions.

This is a randomized, balanced, open Label, two-treatment, two-period, two-sequence, single dose, crossover pivotal study. The purpose of this study is to assess the bioequivalence between Test Product and the corresponding Reference Product under fed condition in normal, healthy, adult, male and female human subjects.
