Abstract
Background: Agitated and aggressive behaviours are common in the psychiatric setting and rapid tranquilisation is sometimes unavoidable. A survey of Lebanese practice has shown that an intramuscular haloperidol, promethazine and chlorpromazine combination is a preferred form of treatment but there are no randomised trials of this triple therapy. Methods: This is a pragmatic randomised trial. Setting - the psychiatric wards of the Psychiatric Hospital of the Cross, Jal Eddib, Lebanon. Participants - any adult patient in the hospital who displays an aggressive episode for whom rapid tranquilisation is unavoidable, who has not been randomised before, for whom there are no known contraindications. Randomisation - stratified (by ward) randomisation and concealed in closed opaque envelope by independent parties. Procedure - if the clinical situation arises requiring rapid tranquilisation, medical residents overseeing the patient will open a TREC-Lebanon envelope in which will be notification of which group of treatments should be preferred [Haloperidol + Promethazine + Chlorpromazine (HPC) or Haloperidol + Promethazine (HP)], along with forms for primary, secondary and serious adverse effects. Treatment is not given blindly. Outcome - primary outcome is calm or tranquil at 20 minutes post intervention. Secondary outcomes are calm/tranquil at 40, 60 and 120 minutes post intervention, asleep, adverse effects, use of straitjacket and leaving the ward. Follow-up will be up to two weeks post randomisation. Discussion: Findings from this study will compare the HPC versus HP combination used in Lebanon's psychiatry emergency routine practice. Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03639558. Registration date, August 21, 2018.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Childhood obesity is highly prevalent and carries substantial health consequences. Childhood obesity interventions have had mixed results, which may be partially explained by the absence of theory that incorporates broader family context and methods that address implementation challenges in low-resource settings. Communities for Healthy Living (CHL) is an obesity prevention program for Head Start preschools designed with careful focus on theory and implementation. This protocol paper outlines the design, content, implementation, and evaluation of CHL. METHODS/DESIGN CHL integrates a parenting program co-led by Head Start staff and parents, enhanced nutrition support, and a media campaign. CHL content and implementation are informed by the Family Ecological Model, Psychological Empowerment Theory, and Organizational Empowerment Theory. The intervention is directed by community-based participatory research and implementation science principles, such as co‑leadership with parents and staff, and implementation in a real world context. CHL is evaluated in a three-year pragmatic cluster-randomized trial with a stepped wedge design. The primary outcome is change in child Body Mass Index z-score. Secondary outcomes include children's weight-related behaviors (i.e., diet, physical activity, screen use, and sleep), parenting practices targeted at these behaviors (e.g., food parenting), and parent empowerment. The evaluation capitalizes on routine health data collected by Head Start (e.g., child height and weight, diet) coupled with parent surveys completed by subsamples of families. DISCUSSION CHL is an innovative childhood obesity prevention program grounded in theory and implementation science principles. If successful, CHL is positioned for sustained implementation and nationwide Head Start scale-up.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Different studies have been conducted on the role of curcumin in health since having multiple properties, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Due to the lack of studies regarding curcumin effects on obese patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), our protocol was designed to assess nanocurcumin impacts on blood sugar, lipids, inflammatory indices, insulin resistance and liver function, especially by nesfatin. SETTING This trial will be conducted in the Oil Company central hospital of Tehran, Iran with a primary level of care. PARTICIPANTS 84 obese patients with NAFLD diagnosed using ultrasonography will be employed according to the eligibility criteria. INTERVENTIONS The patients will be randomly divided into two equal groups (nanocurcumin and placebo, two 40 mg capsules per day with meals for 3 months, follow-up monthly). Also, lifestyle changes (low-calorie diet and physical activity) will be advised. MEASURES OF THE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOMES A general questionnaire, 24 hours food recall (at the beginning, middle and end) and short-form International Physical Activity Questionnaire will be completed. Blood pressure, anthropometrics, serum sugar indices (fasting blood sugar and insulin, insulin resistance and sensitivity and glycosylated haemoglobin), lipids (triglyceride, total cholesterol and low-density and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, inflammatory profiles (interleukin-6, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, and tumour necrosis factor-alpha), liver function (alanine and aspartate transaminase) and nesfatin will be measured at the beginning and end of the study. CONCLUSION This trial would be the first experiment to determine nanocurcumin efficacy on certain blood factors among obese patients with NAFLD. Nevertheless, studying the potential consequences of curcumin in various diseases, especially NAFLD, is required for clinical use. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER IRCT2016071915536N3; pre-results.
