Orange Almond Potato Cookies Supplementation

Nutritional Stunting

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effect of potato almond orange cookie supplementation on the nutritional status of stunted under-five children. The main questions aimed to answer are: Can cookie supplementation improve the weight of stunted under-five children? Can cookie supplementation improve the weight for age z score of stunted under-five children? Participants divided in the two groups i.e.: Treatment group received 50 g potato almond orange cookie each day during 4 weeks. Control group received 50 g potato orange cookie each day during 4 weeks. Mothers of both groups given balanced nutrition education for stunted under-five children twice at the second and third week of study.

Study of Sirolimus Therapy for Segmental Overgrowth Caused by Somatic PI3K Activation

PIK3CA-Related Overgrowth Spectrum (PROS)Growth Disorder1 more

Background: - PIK3CA-related overgrowth spectrum (PROS) is caused by changes in the PIK3CA gene. This gene makes a protein that communicates with other proteins in the body to cause cells to grow. Alterations in PIK3CA change the chemical signals in the body and cause overgrowth in fatty, vascular and other tissues. Sirolimus is a drug that reduces the signals sent by one of the proteins in this chemical signaling pathway. Researchers want to learn whether the drug sirolimus can reduce or stabilize some of the overgrowth that patients with PROS experience. Objectives: - To measure how the overgrowth of patients with PROS changes over time and whether taking a drug called sirolimus can reduce or stabilize a person s overgrowth. Eligibility: - People ages 3 to 65 years old with a confirmed mutation or alteration of the PIK3CA gene in the person s affected tissues (a somatic mutation). Design: Participants will be screened with medical history and genetic counseling. First 6 months: Participants will have their overgrowth monitored. Next 6 months: Participants will take sirolimus once or twice a day. Participants will have to visit the clinic several times, and stay in the area for 4 to 5 days each time. Participants will have a one month-long visit to the clinic. During clinic visits, participants will have: Blood and urine tests. Photographs of their physical features. Scans, including an MRI and DEXA, and possibly x-rays and CT scans. For the MRI and CT scans, participants will lie in a machine that takes pictures of their body. The DEXA involves a small amount of radiation. They may have: Non-invasive heart function tests. Lung function tests. Participants will have several blood and urine tests between visits. Participants will complete surveys and keep a diary of their treatment and side effects. Participants may visit other health specialists or undergo other tests based on side effects. One month after stopping the study drug, participants will have 1 clinic visit.

Growth DisorderHealthy

This trial is conducted in the United States of America (USA). The aim of the trial is to investigate the bioequivalence (the expected biological equivalence of two pharmaceutical drug products with identical active ingredient) of Norditropin® (somatropin) versus Genotropin® (somatropin) in healthy adult subjects.

Growth Disorders

The primary objective is to evaluate, if Genotonorm (Genotropin) increases linear growth in short children born SGA. Safety of the drug is a main objective as well. The growth promoting effect of two different dosages is compared. The effect of long-term treatment on final height is evaluated (according to several amendments)

Study of Luteinizing Hormone-Releasing Hormone Analog (LHRHa) in Pubertal Patients With Extreme...

DwarfismGrowth Disorder

Children with extreme short stature (height) and their families often experience significant psychological stress related to concerns about adult height. In addition, short stature often results in life-long emotional, social, and physical obstacles to the affected person. Normal growth occurs in two phases. The first phase, known as childhood growth, occurs below the age of 10. The second phase of growth, teen-age or adolescent growth, begins between the ages of 10 and 15. In addition, puberty marks the time when the bone's growth plates (epiphysis) begin to close, initiating the completion of linear growth (height). Some children suffer from a condition called precocious puberty, meaning that puberty begins at a younger age than normal. The development of medications known as synthetic LHRH analogs have provided a method to delay puberty and treat these patients. LHRHa (deslorelin) is a hormone created to act like naturally occurring LHRH. It been used in patient's diagnosed with precocious (early onset) puberty. The drugs were able to regress patient's clinical signs of puberty, decrease the levels of adult sex hormones produced, and slow the rate of bone aging.
