Filter by:High density calorie is an Oral Nutrition Supplement (ONS) which is a high calorie formula (High Density Formula) and suggested as nutritional therapy to assist children who are undernourished or undergoing growth faltering. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Indonesian Ministry of Health have established regulations governing the use of ONS for children suffering from undernutrition, whether or not an infection is present. ONS available on the Indonesian market provides an energy density of between 1-1.5 kcal/ml. This study has the potential to clarify the advantages of ONS administration and evaluate its efficacy in comparison to nutritional therapy (1 kcal/ml or 1.5 kcal/ml) to facilitate rapid catch-up growth by examining the rate of increase in body weight, body lenght and undernourished children, particularly when infection is present. Purposes: 1. Analyze the effect of the 1.5 kcal/ml high dense formula (ONS) on the average weight gain in undernourished children accompanied by infections 2. Analyze the effect of the 1.5 kcal/ml calorie dense formula (ONS) on the average increase in PB in undernourished children accompanied by infections 3. Analyze the effect of the 1 kcal/ml calorie dense formula (ONS) on the average weight gain in undernourished children accompanied by infections 4. Analyze the effect of 1 kcal/ml calorie dense formula (ONS) on the average increase in PB in undernourished children accompanied by infections 5. Analyze the effect of the 1.5 kcal/ml calorie dense formula (ONS) on changes in nutritional status in undernourished children accompanied by infections
High calorie formula (Oral Nutrition Supplement/ONS) are products used for oral nutrition support with the aim to increase the nutritional intake. they are a nutrition treatment option children with limited intake. ONS are typically used in addition to a normal diet, when diet alone is insufficient to meet daily nutritional requirement due to infection or others. ONS should be treated like medication, ensure they are labelled with the patient's name and provided at the prescribed time. It is well established that nutritional deficiency or inadequate can impair immune function. Growing evidence suggest that for certain conditions, the nutrient needs will be increased, so it is needed to provide the nutrient intake above currently recommended levels, in order to help optimizing the immune function, including improving the defense function and thus resistance to infection while maintaining tolerance. Purposes: 1. to analyze the effect of high calorie formula on IGF-1 levels in children with failure to thrive 2. to analyze the effect of high calorie formula on total lymphocyte counts with failure to thrive 3. to analyze the effect of high calorie formula on TNF-alpha levels in children with failure to thrive Hypothesis: 1. there is significant increment of IGF-1 levels before and after the intervention 2. there is significant difference of total lymphocyte counts before and after the intervention 3. there is significant difference of TNF-alpha levels before and after the intervention
A randomized clinical trial of multiple micronutrients, zinc, zinc + micronutrients, or placebo among 2400 children born to HIV-negative Tanzanian mothers.
