Filter by:In current practice, there are various nutritional risk scores and diagnostic tools which are used in both inpatient and outpatient settings,however, in some cases, these tools cannot be used due to lack of data. That's why a tool that doesn't require any anthropometric parameters, such as a visual food intake scale, could be useful to for medical and paramedical staff. In this way, a larger proportion of the paediatric population could benefit from nutritional screening.
Globally, one of the major risk factor for adolescent's morbidity is considered Malnutrition. Worldwide adolescent age group 10-19 is increasing and they are at increased risk of malnutrition related diseases resulting in high morbidity and mortality. Asian countries are suffering with the double burden of malnutrition including Pakistan. The risk factors that contribute to malnutrition in the population includes unsafe drinking water, poor sanitary conditions, lack of proper waste disposal facilities, poor health awareness, poor nutrition and hygiene. However, studies have shown that nutrition education, and water, sanitation, hygiene (WASH) programmes in the schools are effective strategies to promote the health status of the adolescents (girls and boys). The primary objective of this study is to determine a school based nutrition and WASH education intervention to improve nutritional status among early adolescents.
The aim of the project is to study the influence of biostimulate crops on a healthy population in order to assess influence on hematological parameters and specific metabolism (glucose, lipid, iron, bone) and gut and lipid hormones. Secondary outcome will be to find out micronutrient presence in urine and serum. The use of biostimulation in modern agriculture has rapidly expanded in recent years, owing to their beneficial effects on crop yield and product quality, which have come under the scope of intensive research.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effect of high-calorie density formula (HDF) and standard formula (SF) in infants with congenital heart surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is there any difference in nutritional status between both groups after 3 months? 2. Is there any difference in calorie intake per day between both groups during hospitalization? 3. Is there any difference in clinical outcomes (mortality, duration of using mechanical ventilation, length of stay, and events of side effects) between both groups? A group of participants will be given HDF (1 kcal/ml) from enrollment until three months. Researchers will compare them to the group of participants who are given SF (0.67 kcal/ml) to see if there is any difference in nutritional status, calorie intake, and other clinical outcomes between the two groups.
The study will be conducted in a group of obese sarcopenic patients (Sarco-Ob) aged > 60 years on moderately hypocaloric diet therapy aimed at comparing the effect of a strength exercise protocol, combined or not with dietary supplementation with amino acids, on physical performance, muscle strength, body composition, muscle oxidative metabolism, and biomarkers of sarcopenia. The supplementation study will be conducted in a double-blind manner.
The goal of this observational study is to study the presence and consequences of malnutrition risk in hospitalized internal medicine patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. How many patients are at risk of malnutrition at admission? 2. Is there a link between an existing malnutrition risk and nutrition therapy that the patients receive? 3. Is there a link between an existing malnutrition risk and clinical outcome (e.g. length of hospital stay, mortality, need for rehospitalization)? Participants will be screened for malnutrition risk at admission using a validated questionnaire (Nutritional Risk Screening 2002). All relevant data regarding hospital stay will be obtained from the clinical information system after discharge.
The goal of this clinical trail study is to measure neurophysiologic parameters to assess the effect of malnutrition on the peripheral nervous system and their response to treatment in three categories (SAM, severe wasting, and severe stunting) of childhood malnutrition. 83 under-5 children from three categories of undernourished groups- severe stunting (n=30), Severe acute malnourished (n=22), wasting (n=31), and 45 age-matched healthy children from urban/peri-urban areas were enrolled. SAm were provided with appropriate nutritional therapy/treatment that include supplementation of a high-calorie diet; i.e., F-100 milk and khichuri-halwa for nutritional rehabilitation. Egg milk and micronutrient supplementation were for recovery from severe stunting. Wasted children were treated with suitable local nutritional management (NM), such as infant and young child feeding practices (IYCF), providing MNP and nutrition education. Wasted children with medical complications were treated with specialized therapeutic milk (F-75) and those without medical complications were treated with a suitable local Nutritional Management (NM) & routine medicines to treat simple medical conditions at community nutrition center (CNC) with weekly follow up. At day 60 of intervention, children were again brought to icddr,b for a nerve conduction test.
Dietary protein intake of adequate quality is essential for human health. Traditional animal source foods play a key role in providing high quality protein but are associated with a high burden on the environment. Therefore, viable alternative protein sources are needed to be able to meet human nutritional needs for the rapidly increasing world population, while keeping food production within the planetary boundaries. T. molitor (Yellow Mealworm larvae) is a sustainably produced and commercially available edible insect, which contains a high quantity of protein with a favorable amino acid profile. Protein quality evaluation considers the amino acid composition as well as the ileal digestibility of the food's individual amino acids, to assess if human dietary requirements for essential amino acids can be met by the protein source. The present study will measure the digestibility of essential amino acids from T. molitor with a minimally invasive dual stable isotope tracer method that follows a plateau-fed test meal protocol. T. molitor will be intrinsically labelled with the stable isotope deuterium (2H), which will be given along with a reference amino acid mixture of known digestibility, labelled with the stable isotope carbon-13 (13C). Based on the results from the present study, protein quality of T. molitor as a protein source for human nutrition can be assessed, allowing a direct comparison of this novel protein source to other protein sources, such as meat and legumes.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effect of the food bar made from api-api mangrove (Avicennia marina) and sword bean (Canavalia ensiformis) blends on the weight and Weight-for-Age Z score affected by a landslide disaster. The main questions aimed to answer are: - Food bar supplementation can effect the weight and WAZ score of under-five children affected by landslides disaster? - Balanced nutrition education can increase the mothers' knowledge on the balanced nutrition of under-five children? Participants divided in to two group i.e.: - Treatment/intervention group consumed 50 g mangrove sword bean food bar each day during 15 days. - Control group consumed 50 g sword bean food bar each day during 15 days. - Each group received balanced nutrition for mothers once at the first week of study.
The goal of this study is to assess the feasibility and acceptability to community-dwelling older adults of implementing a precise prescription of oral nutritional supplementation (the SPOONful intervention).
