Effects of Perioperative Administration of Intravenous Lidocaine in Children Operated on for Acute Generalized Peritonitis
Intravenous administration of lidocaine perioperatively after laparotomy for peritonitis could be an interesting alternative by reducing the duration of postoperative ileus, the intensity of pain and the patient's hospital stay, as well as the cost of management in our context of lack of financial, technical and human resources, hence the present study.
Comparative Efficacy of a Two Daily Mixed Insulin Injection Versus a Basal-bolus Scheme With Human Insulin in a Limited Resources Setting: a Multicenter Randomized Controlled Crossover Clinical Trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare glycemic control and variability between children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes treated by a two daily injection of premixed human insulin (Humulin 30/70) and those who have a basal bolus scheme (Humulin N + Humulin R) in a resources limited setting.
The main question it aims to answer is: what is the effectiveness of premixed human insulin on glycemic control? Ten participants will be randomized initially to premix insulin human isophane suspension and insulin human injection (Humulin 30/70) twice daily, and 10 persons to insulin human isophane suspension (Humulin N) twice daily plus regular human insulin (Humulin R) before meals. At the end of the initial 16-wk treatment (period 1), all patients will be crossed over to the alternate treatment arm for an additional 16 wk (period 2). Insulin doses will be adjusted weekly by the clinical site according to a prespecified insulin intensification algorithm to achieve target fasting [<110 mg/dl (6.1 mmol/liter)], bedtime [<130 mg/dl (7.2 mmol/liter)], and premeal [<110 mg/dl (6.1 mmol/liter)] glucose levels until HbA1c was below 7.0%.
Subjects will receive training on the FreeStyle Libre CGMS System, electronic hand-held personal digital assistant (e-diary), and self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG), including recording glucose, insulin doses, and symptoms of hypo- or hyperglycemia.
Description and Comparison Biological Vulnerability in Pre- Versus Full-Term Neonates in Urban Burkina Faso (DenBalo): Gut Microbiota, Immune System, and Breastmilk Assembly and Development in the First Days and Weeks of Life
The aim of the DenBalo study is to apply integrated multi-omics methods to examine the biological mechanisms underlying this vulnerability in preterm neonates in LMICs, with the ultimate goal of identifying targeted interventions to reduce morbidity and mortality in this high-risk population. The evidence generated from this project will ultimately help promote healthy pregnancies and the birth of healthy babies.
To achieve this goal, three research objectives are proposed:
1. To describe and compare gut microbiota, immune system and breastmilk components in pre- versus full-term neonates in urban Burkina Faso.
2. To describe and compare the development of the gut microbiota, the immune system and breastmilk components during the first six months of life in pre- versus full-term infants in urban Burkina Faso.
3. To investigate the relationship between the composition of the gut microbiota, the immune system and breastmilk components during the first six months of life in pre- versus full-term infants in urban Burkina Faso.
