Active clinical trials for "Malnutrition"

To determine the level of citrulline to produce a given amount of arginine in healthy volunteers and surgical patients. Arginine-related amino acids are expected to increase as a result of increased substrate provided by citrulline.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of a perioperative nutrition strategy using oral nutritional supplements (ONS) on postoperative complications and improvement in body weight in malnourished patients who underwent gastrectomy.

The purpose of this study is to determine the bioequivalency of Synerx Pharma Verapamil extended release capsules.

To compare the single-dose oral bioavailability of clarithromycin 250 mg/5 mL powder for oral suspension of Ranbaxy Laboratories with Biaxin 250 mg/5 mL granules for oral suspension in healthy, adult, human, male subjects under fed conditions

This open-label, balanced, randomized, two-treatment, four-period, two-sequence, single dose, crossover fully replicated study was conducted on fixed-dose combination of quinapril 20 mg and hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg tablets of OHM Laboratories Inc. (division of Ranbaxy Laboratories Limited) and Accuretic 20-25 mg tablets of Parke-Davis (division of Pfizer Inc.) in healthy, adult, human, male, subjects under fed conditions.

The purpose of the study is to test whether food supplementation of malnourished HIV-infected adults (both pre-ART and ART) in resource constrained settings improves their nutritional status, clinical status, effectiveness of treatment, quality of life, functioning, and survival.

The aim of this study is to evaluate in malnourished elderly patients the nutritional efficacy of a new nutritional supplement enriched in different specific pharmaco nutrients (leucine, micronutrients, omega-3) appearing in the form of a cake of high caloric density and palatability. The primary endpoint is the outcome of fat-free mass measured by multiple frequence bio-impedance analysis.

The purpose is to show that 5 mg Form IV tablet of AG-013736 produces similar drug concentrations in plasma compared to 5 mg Form XLI tablet of AG-013736 after oral dosing under fed conditions.

The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a package of interventions to support health workers in Benin (in West Africa) who had been trained to use Integrated Management of Childhood Illness guidelines (i.e., guidelines intended to improve the treatment of childhood illnesses).

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.
