Filter by:Zinc deficiency in children is a major problem which leads to compromised immunity and accordingly repeated infections. This study aims to investigate the effect of supplementing zinc to decrease the incidence of diarrhea and respiratory illness in children between 6 months and 5 years in Paediatric Outpatient Clinic in Ain Shams University Hospital.
The validity (by alcohol burning and gas infusions) and reliability (day-to-day variability in healthy subjects) of six metabolic carts will be compared.
INTRODUCTION: Global protein consumption has been increasing for decades due to changes in socio-economic demographics and consumer trends towards higher protein intake, which may be related to their health benefits in performance nutrition and appetite regulation. The additional intake of protein often occurs in the form of supplements. One of the main ingredients used in sports and weight loss supplements are animal-derived proteins such as whey, which are of high quality, containing all the essential amino acids required in human nutrition with a high absorption rate. However, whey protein has a high environmental footprint, and it may contribute to insulin resistance in susceptible groups (e.g. obese, T2DM, insulin resistant, or those with sarcopenic obesity). Rice and potato protein isolates are high-quality plant proteins containing all essential amino acids comparably to whey protein. These plant-derived proteins may provide a more sustainable and accessible alternative to animal-derived proteins for appetite regulation and weight management.
The aim of this study is to investigate those nutritional problems contributing to loss of lean body mass in lung and pancreas cancer patients in chemotherapy. Furthermore to investigate alterations in taste and how they correlates with changes in following factors: nutritional intake, physical activity, appetite, food preferences, side effects, fatique and meal perception.
Intestinal flora or microbiota is the group of bacteria that live in the intestine, in a symbiotic relationship with the human body. It is estimated that human beings have around 2,000 different bacteria species. The gut microbiota plays a key in many of the body's functions. Hence, the analysis of the gut microbiome provides insight into the state of the microbiota as an indicator of overall health due to its metabolic, protective and nutritional functions. A balanced diet promotes the formation and maintenance of a well-structured microbiota, in which the different species of microorganisms cohabit in a balanced and controlled system. The study is based on the hypothesis that the intake of certain plant-based foods rich in various active ingredients (especially non-digestible carbohydrates, certain types of fats and polyphenols) can modulate the microbiota and thus improve the health status of the human population. Taking into account this background, the objective of this study is to assess the effect of the inclusion of functional foods and ingredients within a balanced diet on the composition of the microbiota and also on health parameters associated with metabolic disease.
The risk of muscle wasting is high in the intensive care unit patients during the treatment process and this condition is associated with adverse clinical outcomes. The etiology of muscle wasting is multifactorial and medical nutrition therapy plays a key role in muscle wasting treatment and prevention. The aim of this study is assesing the malnutrition and fraility, anthropometric measurements, and muscle mass by ultrasound at the first admission to the intensive care unit and to determine the nutritional factors affecting clinical outcomes. In addition, it is planned to determine the risk factors affecting the change of anthropometric measurements and muscle wasting in the first week during the intensive care unit.
Nutritional deficiency disease is a disease caused by nutritional deficiencies, including macronutrients and micronutrients. Macronutrient diseases are diseases caused by deficiency of protein, fat and carbohydrates. This deficiency will usually show clinical symptoms that directly affect nutritional status. This study aims to study and examine mineral intake, dietary patterns of research subjects, mineral and enzyme levels, and soil condition data. The number of research subjects to be taken was 180 subjects with 90 research subjects coming from mothers who had healthy children and 90 research subjects came from mothers who had stunted children or other nutritional disorders. The research stage will run after going through the inclusion of research subjects, namely mothers who have healthy children and mothers who have nutritionally deficient children, aged 20-40 years. The research stage consisted of two stages. The statistical analysis used is to use the ANOVA test, which will then compile a manuscript.
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the implementation of an algorithm for enteral nutrition support compared with usual standard practice in children with malnutrition status with congenital heart disease
The aim of the study primarily was to investigate the value of zinc to copper ratio as possible biomarker of trace elements imbalance in morbidly obese subjects undergoing LSG. Secondly to correlate zinc to copper ratio with lipocalin 2 (Lcn2) with respect to Anthropometric measurements and other metabolic biomarkers. Prospective study will be carried out on 120 morbidly obese adult subjects with a body mass index (BMI) score above 40 along with presence of obesity-related comorbidity. Investigations will be measured preoperative and 9 months postoperative after performing Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy; for Body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference. As well as for complete blood count and biochemical biomarkers as fasting blood glucose, lipid profile, serum iron and ferritin. Serum Ceruloplasmin, Zn and Cu levels, followed by calculation of zinc to copper ratio. CRP, serum insulin, serum leptin and lipocalin-2 (Lcn2) will be determined.
This cross-over meal study is a four-way intervention with 12 volunteers randomized at the same time to four meals with fried meats (beef, pork, chicken and amino-acid matched non-meat control) and to four meals with potato products (boiled, chips, fries, and a control with boiled white rice) to search for biomarkers of intake.
