Active clinical trials for "Malnutrition"

Research has demonstrated that there is a relationship between malnourishment and insufficient production of pancreatic enzymes, such as α-amylase which digests starch into glucose. Starchy foods that can be easily digested into glucose are critical to the development child for energy and proper growth. This study investigated the use of a noninvasive breath test for the assessment of amylase sufficiency, digestibility of normal and modified sorghum porridges and gastric emptying rate of a sorghum porridge in Malian and U.S. children.

In this study, the investigators aimed to observe the effects of medium cut-off dialysis filters and high-flux dialysis filters on malnutrition inflammation score, uremic itching, restless leg syndrome, anemia, and ESA treatment, which are prominent complications in hemodialysis, and routine follow-up parameters.

The overall goal of this study is to generate new knowledge regarding the nutritional and environmental determinants of physical activity in young children living in a densely populated urban community in Bangladesh. The investigators hypothesize that low levels of preschooler physical activity are associated with a lack of play-oriented physical attributes (i.e., total area of indoor floor space, presence and count of unsafe physical hazards, and presence and count of stationary and portable gross motor activity-oriented items) within the homes in urban Bangladesh. The investigators also hypothesized that low Hb may be associated with low physical activity levels in this population.

The study hypothesizes that one form of food supplement to HIV-infected individuals in Haiti (ready-to-use-supplementary food) will result in improved HIV, nutrition and quality of life outcomes when compared to a second type of food supplement (corn-soy-blend) over the course of 12 months of food supplementation.

Objective: To compare the single dose bioavailability of Torrent's Pantoprazole Sodium Delayed - Release Tablets 1 × 40 mg and PROTONIX® (Pantoprazole Sodium) Delayed - Release Tablets 1 × 40 mg of Wyeth Pharmaceutical Inc. Dosing periods were separated by a washout period of at least 7 days.

Dosing periods were separated by a washout period of 8 days. Study Design: randomized, two-way crossover, single-dose, open-label study in healthy human adult subjects

Objective: subjects to compare the single dose bioavailability of Torrent's Pioglitazone Hydrochloride Tablets 1 × 45 mg and Actos® Tablets 1 × 45 mg of Takeda Pharmaceuticals America, Inc. Dosing periods of studies were separated by a washout period of 12 days and 11 days respectively. Study Design: Randomized, Two-Way Crossover, Single-Dose, and Open-Label

Objective: Primary objective of the present study was to compare the single dose bioavailability of Torrent's Felodipine Extended-Release Tablets USP 10 mg and Innovator's (Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc., USA) Felodipine Extended-Release Tablets USP 10 mg. Dosing periods were separated by a washout period of 21 days during fasting study. Study Design: Open-Label, Randomised, two Period, two treatment, Crossover, Single-Dose Bioequivalence Study

The objective of the study is to compare the bioavailability and characterise the pharmacokinetic profile of Mycophenolate mofetil 250 mg capsules Panacea Biotech Ltd, India and Cellcept® 250 mg capsules Mycophenolate mofetil capsule, Roche Labs Inc. New Jersey, USA in normal, healthy, adult human subjects under fed conditions, and to assess the bioequivalence.

Malnutrition is a severe comorbidity in hospitalised patients, especially in elderly. The consumption of Oral Nutritional Supplements (NOS) is one of several tools for fighting against malnutrition. Their use is easy, and framed by recent French recommendations suggesting to propose NOS at end of meals or as snacking . Nevertheless, there is no scientific data to affirm which is the best of these two hypothesis in elderly hospitalised in Long Term Care Unit(LTCU) . Moreover, a preliminary survey of NOS consumption in LTCU in Limoges university hospital showed some problems about the mode of supplying NOS, partially linked with an insufficiency for paramedical staff in realizing importance of NOS. However, the effect of time of supplying NOS on total food consumption had not been evaluated in this first study. The new one will include 48 malnourished elderly patients in two LTCU and having a prescription of NOS. They will receive them at the same quantity during the whole study either firstly at end of meals (10 days) and secondly as snackings (10 days), or conversely. Order of choice will be randomised. Total daily alimentary intakes will be noted by paramedical staff of the two units, and translated by dieticians in daily energy, protein, carbohydrates and lipids intakes. The time of supplying NOS will be confronted with these intakes, in order to precise the best one.
