The goal of this project is to compare a diet and therapeutic lifestyle only treatment usual care in the setting of newly diagnosed individuals with RRMS or CIS, which is the precursor to the development of MS. The current standard of care typically includes disease-modifying drug treatment at the
The proposed project will leverage the existing state-run public distribution system (PDS) to provide fortified rice using a domestically manufactured rice grain (Fortified Rice Kernels, or FRK). FRKs are grains made from rice flour, highly enriched with iron and other micronutrients (such as
Hypothesis to be tested:
This integrated intervention will a) improve children's growth, hemoglobin, micro-nutrient status (vitamin B12 and folic acid), cognitive, motor, language and social-emotional development, b) minimize maltreatment of children by parents, c) improve positive parenting and d)

Protocol Intrathecal Methotrexate for Progressive Multiple Sclerosis: An Open Label Single Arm Study
Introduction Multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized pathologically by demyelination, axonal loss, and glial scar formation. Clinically, most patients have a relapsing-remitting course of MS (RRMS)
Methods Before and after iron therapy, we assessed haemoglobin concentrations; iron status markers; serum hepcidin concentration; IBD activity; iron tolerance; and QOL, perceived stress, mood, coping and fatigue using psychometric questionnaires.
Patients. Patients aged 13 - 18 years were defined as
Study Area: A maternity clinic in Mirpur with substantial numbers of pregnant women enrolling each month (about 300-400/month) will be selected for recruitment of local pregnant women. The community in Mirpur has a low out-migration rate. Pregnant women attending the clinic at 11-14 weeks of

Researchers want to learn how glucarpidase may impact patients' length of stay in the hospital, kidney function, and quality of life. Also, researchers want to learn if glucarpidase may decrease the incidence of neutropenic fever, which may decrease the use of antibiotics by vein to treat this kind
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Assess the effects of dextromethorphan hydrobromide in patients with cancer-related fatigue.
Secondary
- Correlate the changes in cancer-related fatigue with the levels of plasma homocysteine versus red blood cell folate.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, open-label, pilot
The current proposal addresses the hypothesis that neurocognitive and neurochemical abnormalities may occur in individuals with HCV-infection who do not have liver cirrhosis or vasculitic neuropathy, and that this phenomenon may result from a direct effect of HCV on the Central Nervous System (CNS).
