Active clinical trials for "Malnutrition"

The objective of this study was to evaluate the comparative bioavailability between Ursodiol 500 mg Tablets (test) and Urso Forte™ 500 mg Tablets (reference)after a single-dose in healthy subjects under fed conditions.

The objective of this study is to compare the rate and extent of absorption of clindamycin 300 mg capsules (test) versus Cleocin HCl (reference, administered as 1 x 300 mg capsule under fed conditions.

To compare the rate of absorption and oral bioavailability of a test formulation of Ramipril10 mg Capsules manufactured by Purepac Pharmaceutical Company to an equivalent oral dose of the commercially available reference product Atlace® manufactured by Monarch Pharmaceuticals Inc. administrated to healthy subjects after a 10-hour overnight fast followed by a high-calorie, high-fat breakfast meal.

The purpose of this study is to determine the best form of dietary intervention to undernourished individuals with COPD. The research aims to test the null hypothesis that there is no difference between oral nutritional supplements and dietary advice.

The hypothesis of this study is a nutrition preoperatively in infants and children undergoing elective cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass leads to improvement in nutritional status, intervention, and that this results in good postoperative results.

Children with moderate acute malnutrition will be recruited in order to receive an intervention which consists in the consumption of a single serving of SF-cookies daily, 7-days a week for 12 months and 12 educational sessions on health and nutrition.

This is a randomized, double-blinded, crossover study to evaluate muscle protein metabolism during fasting and feeding in healthy older subjects.

Melghat is poorly developed tribal area in India with very high child mortality & malnutrition prevalence (grossly inadequate medical facilities). Important health problems. Malnutrition , Pneumonia, Tuberculosis, Anaemia, Malaria, Diarrhoea, Premature and L. B. W. babies, Neonatal sepsis, Feeding problem, Birth asphyxia. The investigators developed a Home Based Child Care (HBCC) model to reduce neonatal mortality rate (NMR), infant mortality rate (IMR), under 5 mortality rate (U5MR) and severe malnutrition(SM) in this region. Melghat. Need of project : Melghat is known for highest U5MR in Maharashtra. Overall aims and importance of the research:. The results obtained in this area will be applicable for reducing children mortality and malnutrition in other parts of Melghat and all other tribal areas of India. Methodology: RCT-Home based child care (HBCC) by trained village health workers .(ARI, Diarrhoea, Malaria clinically & Neonatal care) in 19 villages. Strengthening of existing government ICDS and health system. Melghat. Need of project : Melghat is known for highest U5MR in Maharashtra. Overall aims and importance of the research:.

Malnutrition (under-nutrition) occurs in approximately 30% of hospitalized adults worldwide and results in poor outcomes. However there is no universal method for diagnosing malnutrition. A group of experts created a set of 6 characteristics to identify malnutrition. The goal of this project is to determine whether these characteristics are the best indicators to identify malnutrition or if there are other factors that may better identify malnutrition. Because there is no gold standard definition for malnutrition, the investigators will compare the characteristics against outcomes such as length of stay, hospital readmission and death. Outcomes are also influenced by disease state, therefore, information on what brought the patient to the hospital and what happened to them in the hospital will be collected that allows the investigators to separate the effect of malnutrition from disease. The hypothesis for this study is that the malnutrition clinical characteristics and diagnosis criteria, as presented by the experts, are valid and reliable principles for the diagnosis of adult under-nutrition.

The study was an open label, balanced, randomized, two-treatment, two-period, two sequence, single oral dose, crossover, bioequivalence study of two formulations of Valsartan 320 mg under fed conditions.
