Intestinal Lavage to Promote Enteral Feeding and Prevent Necrotizing Enterocolitis in Extremely Preterm Infants
Optimizing enteral nutrition (EN) is challenging in extremely preterm infants due to feeding intolerance that relates to the functional gastrointestinal immaturity. Early feeding is a safe way to promote postnatal gastrointestinal maturation and, when compared with delayed enteral feeding, provide benefit, such as reduced time to full enteral feedings (TFF) …
Stepwise Enteral Nutritional Algorithm and Patient Outcomes in Pediatric Intensive Care Units
The aim of the study to evaluate the effectiveness and patient's outcome after implementing enteral nutrition algorithm designed to achieve optimal enteral nutrition delivery in the pediatric intensive care unit and to evaluate the effect of implementing this protocol on critically ill patient's individual's outcome.
Plant-Protein Dominant Tube Feed Study
This study aims to determine whether a reformulated plant-protein dominant protein blend in four existing enteral tube feeds is as effective as animal-protein dominant formulations in patients who are tube fed at home. This is an exploratory randomised, controlled, trial with a 3-day baseline period. Adult home tube feeding patients …
Effect of Partially Hydrolyzed, Whey-based Infant Formulas on Growth and Tolerability in Healthy Term Infants
This study will assess the effect of partially hydrolyzed, whey-based infant formulas on growth and gastrointestinal tolerance in healthy term infants.
Breath Analysis & Malnutrition
The purpose of this research study is to understand how breath is related to nutritional status. The procedures involved in this study include blood and breath sampling, questionnaires about health history, medications, nutritional status and diet, and a physical examination. Breath markers will be compared between individuals with and without …
Targeted Fortification of Donor Breast Milk in Preterm Infants
This study is a randomized controlled trial comparing standard fortification of donor breast milk to targeted fortification of donor breast milk in preterm infants. The purpose of the study is to determine if there is a benefit to target fortifying donor breast milk in the preterm population. The investigators hypothesize …
Evaluation of Four New Ready to Drink Oral Nutritional Supplements: Adult ONS Trial
The aim of this study is to evaluate compliance, acceptability, gastrointestinal tolerance, nutrient intake, appetite, nutritional status, and safety of four new ready to drink ONS. This is a prospective, longitudinal, 28-day intervention study with a 1-day baseline period. During the intervention period, patients will receive one of the four …
Pancrelipase With Nutritional Supplement in Patients at Risk of Malnutrition (EFFORT-ENZO)
This study investigates if pancreatic enzymes in combination with oral nutritional supplement can improve nutrient bioavailability in older people with malnutrition or at risk of malnutrition.
Improving Nutritional Adequacy of ICU Survivors in a Prospective Interventional Way: the Bright Side Study
The objective is to increase caloric adequacy in patients who survived critical illness and are admitted to the ward by the use of a pro-active inclusive nutritional strategy including supplemental parenteral and/or enteral nutrition and/or oral nutritional supplements guided by indirect calorimetry. This enables the investigators to address, within a …
Efficacy of a Novel Prototype Gastrostomy Tube Anchor Dressing
This is a single-center prospective study evaluating the efficacy of a prototype gastrostomy anchor dressing for use with button gastrostomy tubes. The anchor dressing has been previously evaluated for usability by parents, patients, and nurses. This study compares several outcomes related to complications from gastrostomy tube placement using a prospective …
