NCT01709474
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of 18 weeks of high-dose vitamin D3 supplementation compared with standard-dose vitamin D3 supplementation on immune function, glucose homeostasis, and bone metabolism in children with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D \[25(OH)D\] levels ≤20 ng/mL.
NCT00560859
The purpose of this research is to determine the effect of adenotonsillectomy surgery (removal of tonsils and adenoids) on obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in children. OSAS can cause health problems including poor growth, high blood pressure, diabetes and behavioral and learning difficulties. Although adenotonsillectomy is the usual treatment for children with OSAS, it is not known with any certainty if the child's OSAS symptoms improve afterwards. This study will help determine if improvement occurs or if it does not. It will also look at whether certain groups, such as children who are overweight or of different ethnicities, are helped by the surgery.
