Vitamin D metabolites support innate immune responses to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Data from phase 3, randomized, controlled trials of vitamin supplementation prevent tuberculosis infection are lacking.We randomly assigned children who had negative results for M. according the QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube assay (QFT) receive a weekly oral dose either 14,000 IU D3 or placebo 3 years. The primary outcome was positive QFT result at 3-year follow-up, expressed as proportion children. Secondary...
Mongolia is experiencing rapid urbanization, and this presents a unique opportunity to assess the effects of process on lung health children.Two cross-sectional cohorts school-age children (5-15years age) from capital (Ulaanbaatar) (n=116) rural district (Tuv Aimag) (n=108) were studied. Demographical information, exposure tobacco smoke, ambient exhaled CO, as well FEV(1) FEF(25-75%) recorded for each child. Ambient CO levels threefold higher in city than Aimag (0.63 vs 0.21 parts per...
ABSTRACT Objective To determine whether weekly oral vitamin D supplementation influences grip strength, explosive leg power, cardiorespiratory fitness or spirometric lung volumes in Mongolian schoolchildren. Methods Multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial conducted children aged 6-13 years at baseline attending 18 schools Ulaanbaatar. The intervention was doses of 14,000 IU 3 (n=4418) placebo (n=4433) for years. Outcome measures were standing long jump...
There is controversy regarding the relative influence of 'exogenous' versus 'endogenous' factors on risk progression from latent tuberculosis infection to active (TB) disease in children. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis identify for QuantiFERON®-TB Gold (QFT-G)-positive children aged 6–13 years attending 18 schools Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Children underwent clinical and radiological screening tuberculosis, data relating potential were collected by questionnaire determination serum...
Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is among the most common conditions leading to intellectual disability, which can be prevented by early detection through newborn screening (NBS).
