Sep 30th, 2022 - Low levels of physical activity during pregnancy constitute a significant public health issue as increasing evidence suggests that the mother's lifestyle during pregnancy may influence the future health of her child. A physically active lifestyle during pregnancy has potential to improve metabolic health of mother and child and thus may play an important role in relation to counteracting the ob...

Sep 30th, 2022 - The coordination of sucking, swallowing, and breathing during the transition from gavage to oral feeding is a challenge for preterm infants. Efficient management of the feeding transition without other comorbidities can not only improve their oral movements and gastrointestinal function development, facilitate their oral feeding learning behavior, but also facilitate them to direct breastfeedin...

Sep 30th, 2022 - Overweight and obesity are highly prevalent conditions worldwide, despite active research of new interventions over decades. Current interventions include medications or bariatric surgery, but these approaches cannot be used in all patients and require clear indications and a close multidisciplinary management. Therefore most patients and physicians rely on lifestyle interventions, focusing on ...

Sep 30th, 2022 - Suprasyndesmotic fractures (Weber type C) are historically treated operatively because of the assumption that the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis is ruptured, leading to joint instability (Lauge-Hansen 1950, Boden 1989). However, the medial deltoid ligament may function as the main stabiliser of the ankle joint by preventing external rotation of the talus and therefore maintains the dynamic con...

Sep 30th, 2022 - Starting in 2001, the Look AHEAD study randomized 5145 patients with type 2 diabetes to an intensive lifestyle intervention (ILI) focused on weight loss versus a control group receiving diabetes education ("Diabetes Support and Education").The Look AHEAD study tested whether participants with type 2 diabetes assigned to an intensive lifestyle intervention (ILI) for weight loss exhibited reducti...

Sep 30th, 2022 - Malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum continues to be a global problem withdevastating consequences. A greater understanding of the immunologic and parasitologic factors associated with infection and disease is badly needed; and will accelerate the development of highly protective vaccines for both mothers and children.

Sep 30th, 2022 - Study Description: This open label phase II trial is designed to evaluate the efficacy of fostamatinib in the treatment of post-transplant cytopenias as assessed by hematologic improvement in anemia and/or thrombocytopenia following a 12-week treatment course. Patients who respond to the 12-week treatment course on this single arm study are eligible and have the option to enroll on the extended...

Sep 30th, 2022 - The study is based on the carbon oxidation protocol. Each baby will receive one or two levels of either phenylalanine or methionine or histidine. Each level will be assessed over a two-day period. On day 1: each baby will receive a standard pediatric amino acid solution, Primene used in the NICU and L-[1-13C]Na Bicarbonate will be given to measure carbon dioxide production. On day 2: he/she wil...

Sep 30th, 2022 - The transcription factor PAX6 is required for the normal development of all elements constituting the eyeball, including the lacrimal gland. In patients with PAX6 gene mutations, the cornea presents a limbal anomaly that has been evolving since childhood and is responsible for variable damage. It evolves from a simple peripheral keratopathy to an advanced stage with complete corneal opacificati...

Sep 30th, 2022 - A total of 70 adolescents with eating disorders between the ages of 12-18 and their parents/caregivers will be enrolled in a randomized-controlled trial comparing parent coaching/patient education to parent education/patient coaching. Measures will include demographics, vitals, parent and patient self-efficacy, quality of life, illness related distress/impairment, and changes in eating disorder...

Sep 30th, 2022 - A minimum of 50 patients with ankle end-stage arthritis will be randomized in two parallel groups for surgery. One group will receive a total ankle replacement through an anterior approach and the other group a total ankle replacement via a lateral approach. Patients will be evaluated for a mean follow-up of two years in terms of complications, implant survival and functional results. One of th...

Sep 30th, 2022 - For current epidemiological reasons of Covid-19, an increase of 30% of losses has been considered already established in the sample size, giving a total of 22 participants per group (44 in total). For the same reason, two groups of 22 participants (11 experimental and 11 controls) will be divided in order to reduce the population and the risk of contagion, following the health protocols establi...

Sep 30th, 2022 - The purpose of this 5-year study is to conduct multimodal real-time assessment of behavioral, psychosocial, and contextual characteristics to uncover lapse phenotypes.
