Filter by:Background: In the management of hypertension lifestyle changes are recommended along with pharmacological treatment. Aims: This randomized controlled intervention study aimed to compare the effects of a Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet and a salt-free diet on blood pressure in hypertension patients. Methods: This study was conducted with 60 patients with primary hypertension. One group (n=30) was given an individualized DASH diet, the other group was given a salt-free diet (n=30), and the participants were followed for two months. The patients' blood pressures were monitored daily throughout the study, and their biochemical parameters were monitored at the beginning of the study, in the first and second months.
Cross-sectional study. Data on clinical, anthropometric, biochemical profile and dietary intake Upper Gastrointestinal Cancer Patients upon admission are traced and collected.
The research was planned in a randomized controlled experimental design to determine the effects of the cup and bottle used during the first oral feeding on physiological characteristics and feeding performance in preterm infants. The research was carried out between January 2021 and February 2022 at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Göztepe Süleyman Yalçın City Hospital. Research data were obtained from preterm infants who were born before 34 weeks of gestation, appropriate to selection of study group criterias and hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit. A total of 80 babies in the sample group were randomly assigned to the experimental (bottle) and control (cup) groups. Oxygen saturation, heart rate, feeding performance and test weight before, during and after feeding of preterms in both groups were compared. There was no statistically significantly difference between the experimental and control groups in terms of oxygen saturation and heart rate.
This study compares the status of key micronutrients (vitamins A, C, D, E, and zinc) in young children given investigational fortified milk versus young children consuming their habitual pattern of beverage intake (milk and non-milk beverages).
The study will be conducted using the crossover randomized controlled method. Preterm infants who began oral feeding from the neonatal intensive care unit will be divided into two groups through randomization in the computer environment. Following the randomization, infants in Group 1 will be fed by applying ''elastic sac'' at the first feeding hour after they are included in the study and in the next feeding they will be fed without performing any application. Infants in Group 2 will be fed without performing any application at the first feeding hour after they are included in the study and they will be fed at the second feeding hour by applying ''elastic sac''. Infants in both groups will be fed by the researcher with a bottle in a semi-fowler right lateral position during feeding hours. During feeding, the effect of the elastic sac on the infant's feeding status and physiological parameters will be evaluated.
Agricultural biodiversity can have an important role in improving diet diversity, quality and nutrition and can be seen as the foundation of the food and nutrition value chain. Increasing the availability and access to local agricultural and/or wild biodiversity genetic resources has the potential to increase production, making more food available for consumption as long as entitlements to access it exist. However, as the history of food security interventions has shown, increasing the production and supply of staple crops alone is not enough to improve food security or nutritional status. However, while agricultural diversification is an important component, it is not alone sufficient to improve diet diversity. Other system elements including women's education and knowledge, intra-household dynamics and women's status and cultural beliefs and practices that improves children's health and nutrition are important to ensure biodiversity has a successful role in improving dietary diversity and quality.
Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common metabolic disorders complicating the course of pregnancy, which concerns pre-pregnancy diabetes (PGDM) - most often type 1 or type 2; and gestational diabetes (GDM) - treated with diet (G1) or insulin (G2). Currently, in the pathogenesis of diabetes and the regulation of glucose metabolism, the role of tissue hormones, including adipokines, e.g., omentin-1, visfatin, have been considered. Adipokines might also affect the development of the fetus - mainly fetal adipose tissue gain. Their concentrations and activity depend on the maternal visceral fat content and concomitant metabolic disorders. It is known that adipokines are excreted in human milk during the lactation period. The aim of the study was to assess the impact of diabetes during pregnancy, requiring treatment with diet or insulin, on the nutritional status of the newborn.
evaluating the nutritional status of inpatients with 7 catogories of diseases ( including digestive system, respiratory system, cardiovascular and endocrine system, tumor, nervous system, urinary system) within 24~48 hours after admission. Among them, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine has undertaken 200 cases, and a total of 25 hospitals in zhejiang participated（5000 cases in total）.
This study was a double-blind randomized controlled trial conducted to assess the effectiveness of high protein liquid dietary supplementation in malnourished hospitalized patients. The patients were assessed for their nutritional status based on ESPEN 2015 criteria. Patients who experienced malnutrition will be divided into 2 groups, namely the control group which was given a normal protein liquid diet, while the intervention group was given high protein liquid diet supplementation as much as 2 bottles (200 mL) per day for 7-10 days. Furthermore, the nutritional status of the patient was assessed.
Policy makers in Rwanda have recently highlighted the importance of promoting healthy diets and lifestyle in response to rapidly increasing rates of obesity. This project will provide evidence on shifts in diet and nutritional status in urban dwellers as compared to the traditional diet and lifestyle in rural areas as a basis for a targeted public health policy for Rwanda.
