Active clinical trials for "Malnutrition"

This research compares the effects of one-year continuous whole egg supplement vs. egg yolk substitutes and control on anthropometry, biochemical blood parameters, metabolic enzymes and microbiome data in primary school children.

To develop more natural fruit pastes matrices that can effectively act as carbohydrate vectors in the elderly population and that are part of a normal diet while maintaining the pleasure of eating.

The goal of this clinical trail study is to measure neurophysiologic parameters to assess the effect of malnutrition on the peripheral nervous system and their response to treatment in three categories (SAM, severe wasting, and severe stunting) of childhood malnutrition. 83 under-5 children from three categories of undernourished groups- severe stunting (n=30), Severe acute malnourished (n=22), wasting (n=31), and 45 age-matched healthy children from urban/peri-urban areas were enrolled. SAm were provided with appropriate nutritional therapy/treatment that include supplementation of a high-calorie diet; i.e., F-100 milk and khichuri-halwa for nutritional rehabilitation. Egg milk and micronutrient supplementation were for recovery from severe stunting. Wasted children were treated with suitable local nutritional management (NM), such as infant and young child feeding practices (IYCF), providing MNP and nutrition education. Wasted children with medical complications were treated with specialized therapeutic milk (F-75) and those without medical complications were treated with a suitable local Nutritional Management (NM) & routine medicines to treat simple medical conditions at community nutrition center (CNC) with weekly follow up. At day 60 of intervention, children were again brought to icddr,b for a nerve conduction test.

12 month study testing mobile delivery of health information and connections to professionals and peers to improve health of teen/young adult HPN users.

The prevalence of malnutrition among the elderly in Asia is high. The objective of this randomized, parallel, placebo controlled, double-blind study is to evaluate the effects of consuming an adult ONS plus dietary counseling (intervention group) for 180 days on nutritional status and unexpected hospital (re)admission, compared with a placebo supplement plus dietary counseling (control group).

The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between the plasma concentrations of odalasvir and changes in the QT interval / QTc interval (QT corrected for heart rate) using exposure-response (ER) analysis.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the physiological consequences of extreme military training and determine whether protein supplementation enhances recovery by promoting gains in lean body mass. This study will be conducted at the US Marine Survive, Evade, Resist, Escape (SERE) school at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. SERE school may be an ideal setting to assess nutritional interventions that promote recovery from severe military operational stress, and identify innate or experiential variables that may lead to increased levels of resilience in Warfighters. Our laboratory has recently demonstrated the detrimental effects and stressful nature of SERE. Heart rates and stress-related hormones increased dramatically, with concomitant reductions in circulating anabolic hormones. Additionally, SERE causes significant weight loss (15-20 lbs), which probably included lean body mass. The effects of severe operational stress induced by SERE, particularly the loss of lean mass, may degrade physical performance, increase injury risk, and compromise military readiness. Under controlled laboratory conditions, consuming high protein diets or supplemental high-quality protein promotes muscle protein retention, enhances muscle protein synthesis, and protects lean body mass in response to stress. Whether consuming supplemental protein promotes lean mass recovery and physiological resilience following a 'real-world' military stress has not been determined. Further, the level of supplemental protein necessary to optimize recovery from extreme military operational stress has not been elucidated. Up to 90 US Marines will be enrolled in a 46-day double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Using complex body composition measurements, kinetic modeling of human metabolism, blood sampling and cognitive and nutrition questionnaires, the consequences of SERE and the efficacy of protein recovery nutrition on lean mass accretion and Warfighter resilience will be assessed. We hypothesize that consuming a specially formulated, high-quality supplemental protein ration item will speed recovery of lean body mass, physiological, and psychological resilience following extreme military operational stress.

The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the implementation of an Algorithm for enteral nutrition support compared with usual standard practice in non-critical hospitalized patients: ASNET algorithm.
