Active clinical trials for "Malnutrition"

The objective of this study was to compare the oral availability of a test product of Mycophenolate Mofetil 250 mg capsule to an equivalent oral dose of the commercially available reference product, CellCept® 250 mg capsule administered to healthy subjects under fed conditions.

This study objectives are the following. To describe the updated clinical presentation, indications, and multidisciplinary medical management of patients with a failed and/or complicated jejunoileal bypass (JIB). To analyze the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of one-stage laparoscopic re-operative gastric bypass surgery for failed and/or complicated Jejunoileal bypass (JIB) for weight loss. To determine what factors or strategies are associated with a successful outcome. In particular, the completion of the surgery in one stage with a laparoscopic approach.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine whether implementation of an educational tool for nutritional concerns in 18-25-year-old females who participate in sport increases their understanding of various nutritional concerns. By studying an educational tool geared towards nutritional concerns of the female athlete, clinicians can use the information to improve clinical practice and patient outcomes. Procedure: Participants will be asked to complete a previously validated survey assessing knowledge of nutritional concerns of female athletes: the Female Athlete Triad, Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport, and eating disorders. The survey will be completed immediately pre- and post-receipt of the educational intervention. The intervention includes education on the previously mentioned nutritional concerns.

This study aims to compare the acceptability of a new high protein, fortified, ice cream called Nottingham-Ice cream (N-ICE CREAM) with a standard milkshake-style oral nutritional supplement (ONS); Fortisip Compact Protein in older patients admitted to hospital with fractures who require ONS as part of routine care.

This is an prospective，open-label, none-interventional, observational， multicenter phase II clinical trial. The purpose of this study is to observe the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiation therapy(CCRT) on nutritional status in locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC) patients, analyse the changes of patients' nutrition status during the treatment and the connection between nutrition changes and curative effects, evaluate nutritional risks under the neoadjuvant chemotherapy and CCRT and provide data and basis for further study。

Undernutrition associated with cancer, or cancer cachexia results from a deterioration of the energy balance that leads to a gradual mobilization of energy reserves in the body and to increasing deterioration of the nutritional status of patients. This will thus significantly reduce quality of life and survival of patients with a lower tolerance to cancer treatments. Despite undeniable progress in knowledge, many pathophysiological mechanisms remain few or not explored, which could explain that there is still no satisfactory therapeutic solution to halt the gradual deterioration of the nutritional status of patients. In this sense, apart from preclinical data obtained in animal models, there is currently no clinical study on the functioning of skeletal muscle energy metabolism in undernourished patients suffering of cancer.

The study will evaluate the impact of a supplementary food (cookies) in preventing the risk of developing moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) in preschool mildly malnourished children. Children will be divided in two groups; one will received the cookie plus 12 educative sessions and the other just the educative program. The study will last 12 months

Background. Several nutritional factors have been evaluated as prognostic factors for survival in ALS patients at earlier stages of the disease [body mass index (BMI), body composition expressed as fat free mass (FFM), fat mass (FM), phase angle (PhA), low-density lipoprotein/high-density lipoprotein (LDL/HDL) ratio, cholesterol levels], while only two studies have evaluated some of these parameters after PEG placement. Aim. BMI and cholesterol levels were evaluated as prognostic factors for survival after percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) placement Moreover, the relationship between body composition and BMI in a subgroup of ALS patients was evaluated.

Multiple micro-nutrient deficiencies in Pakistan is wide spread, there is dire need to address these by using smart solutions, among them multiple fortified product (fudge) is an alternate possible way to address this issue. Fortified products have the potential to reduce micronutrient deficiencies in children, therefore in current study children from 3-5 years will receive fortified product along with enhance nutrition promotional information to bring change in their dietary practices and nutritional indices.

This research concerns nutritional and toxicological health risk evaluation among long-term vegans. Research focus is in cumulative exposure to pesticides.
