Background When we were unable to identify an electronic data capture (EDC) package that supported our requirements for clinical research in resource-limited regions, set out build own reusable EDC framework. We needed when offline, synchronize on demand, and enforce strict eligibility complex longitudinal protocols. Based previous experience, the geographical areas which conduct often have unreliable, slow internet access would make web-based platforms impractical. unwilling fall back...
Introduction Biofortified crops represent a sustainable agricultural solution for the widespread micronutrient malnutrition in India and other resource-limited settings. This study aims to investigate effect of consumption foods prepared with iron- zinc-biofortified pearl millet (FeZn-PM) by children on biomarkers iron zinc status, growth, immune function. Methods analysis We will conduct randomised controlled feeding trial identified slums Mumbai, among 200 aged between 12 18 months....
Background & aimsBiofortification of staple crops with higher levels micronutrients via traditional breeding methods is a sustainable strategy and can possibly complement fortification other interventions to target micronutrient deficiencies in low resource settings, particularly among vulnerable populations such as children. We aimed determine if iron- zinc-biofortified pearl millet (FeZnPM, Dhanashakti, ICTP-8203Fe)-based complementary feeding improves nutritional status, including iron...
Aflatoxins (AFs) are naturally occurring mycotoxins known to cause a considerable threat food safety and affect animal health. Rapid reliable analytical methods crucial for preventing AF contamination in the global supply chain. Many conventional detection involve complex sample preparation steps, lengthy analysis times, multiple handling stages which lead delays obtaining results, addition being unaffordable many settings with resource constraints. Herein, we demonstrate proof of concept...
Women of reproductive age are at an increased risk anemia and micronutrient deficiencies. Evidence supports the role periconceptional nutrition in development neural tube defects (NTDs) other pregnancy complications. Vitamin B12 deficiency is a factor for NTDs may modify folate biomarkers that predict NTD population level. There interest mandatory fortification with vitamin folic acid birth defect prevention. However, there limited population-representative data needed to inform policy...
Introduction Women of reproductive age (WRA) are a high-risk population for anaemia and micronutrient deficiencies. Evidence supports the role periconceptional nutrition in development adverse pregnancy complications. However, India, there limited population-based data to guide evidence-based recommendations priority setting. The objective this study is conduct biomarker survey vitamin B 12 folate status WRA as part surveillance programme Southern India. Methods (15–40 years) who not...
Agricultural development is important and strategic to economic national of Nigerian. Agriculture employs greater number rural population; yet, it has been neglected in Ebonyi State, with little or no financial attention. Poor attention agriculture affected its mandates solving food insecurity, youth unemployment, poverty, rural-urban migration, etc. Available statistics show that from 2011 2021, government budgets the agricultural sector remained poor relation Maputo declaration, 10% annual...
To determine the efficacy of iron-biofortified pearl millet (FePM, Dhanashakti, ICTP-8203Fe)-based complementary feeding on iron status and growth, in children living urban slums Mumbai, India. This randomized controlled trial FePM was conducted among 223 aged 12 to 18 months who were not severely anemic (hemoglobin (Hb) ≥9.0 g/dL) (Clinicaltrials.gov ID: NCT02233764). Children receive either foods prepared from or conventional non-biofortified (CPM) daily for 9 months. Iron (Hb, serum...
Choosing an appropriate electronic data capture system (EDC) is a critical decision for all randomized controlled trials (RCT). In this paper, we document our process developing and implementing EDC multisite RCT evaluating the efficacy implementation of enhanced primary care model individuals with opioid use disorder who are returning to community from incarceration.Informed by Knowledge-to-Action conceptual framework user-centered design principles, used Claris Filemaker software implement...
