Micronutrient (MN) deficiencies are highly prevalent in India, particularly among women of reproductive age (WRA) and preschool aged children (PSC). MN fortification of a staple food or condiment can be an effective strategy for improving the MN status of nutritionally vulnerable populations, as the approach is cost-effective, utilizes existing delivery systems, can deliver multiple MNs simultaneously, and does not require behavior change by the population. Salt is a particularly attractive vehicle for multiple MN fortification in India, as it is universally consumed in fairly consistent amounts; and 93% of households already use adequately iodized salt. The overall goal of this study is to evaluate the nutritional impact of quintuply-fortified salt with iron in the form of FePP (FePP-Q5S, i.e. salt fortified with iron in the form of ferric pyrophosphate plus ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid as an enhancer of absorption; zinc in the form of zinc oxide; vitamin B12; folic acid; and iodine) vs. quintuply-fortified salt with iron in the form of eFF (eFF-Q5S i.e. salt fortified with iron in the form of encapsulated ferrous fumarate; zinc in the form of zinc oxide, vitamin B12, folic acid, and iodine) vs. iodized salt (IS) for the improvement of micronutrient status among nonpregnant WRA and preschool-aged children (12-59 months of age) in Punjab, India. Enrolled women (and their affiliated households) will be randomized to receive 1 kg of their assigned study salt per month for 12 months, and will be instructed to use the study salt in place of their usual salt. Blood and urine samples will be collected from participant WRA and PSC at enrollment, 6 months and at the end of the 12-month intervention period. The change in the mean concentration of various MN biomarkers will be considered primary outcomes. Stool samples will also be collected from a subgroup of women and children to assess changes in the gut microbiome over the intervention period.
Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is currently the chosen minimally invasive, endoscopic procedure for medium- and long-term enteral feeding in cases who need palliative care. The presented study evaluated geriatric (> 65-year-old) PEG-applied patients at our institution.
Malnutrition is an epidemiologic problem with high prevalence in Mexico. Mexican children present a double burden of malnutrition characterized by the coexistence of undernutrition and micronutrient deficiency alongside excess body weight. Malnutrition is caused by inadequate nutrition, including micronutrients deficiencies, in which children living in rural areas and indigenous populations are disproportionately affected. Malnutrition has been associated with an increased risk of metabolic abnormalities like metabolic syndrome (MS), diabetes, and cardiovascular disease in adulthood. Nutrition-specific interventions are strategies that may reduce or avert malnutrition in children. However, limited intervention studies have been implemented in low-income populations, particularly in rural areas. Therefore, studies that include nutrition-specific intervention with enriched foods aimed at reducing micronutrients deficiencies and that can help in prevention or treatment of metabolic conditions in these populations are still needed. Based on the nutritional characterization carried out in school children in Chimalhuacán, Mexico State, a formula in a powder form was designed for children containing vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids that can be used to enrich foods. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of a 4-week intervention with cookies enriched with a micronutrient formula on the nutritional status in Maya schoolchildren aged 8-10 years. Participants (n=84) were their own control, and the investigators measured, at pre- and post-intervention, anthropometric, clinical, biochemical, and cognitive parameters; diet and molecular parameters were assessed only at pre-intervention. Chi-square test, t-Student paired or Wilcoxon, ANCOVA, and logistic regression were performed to analyze the data.
Improving the anesthesiology management for surgical correction of spinal deformations with introducing the diagnostic methods and treatment strategy of acute pain, preventing the evolution of chronic pain. Development and implementation in clinical practice perioperative intensive care protocols for surgical correction of spinal deformities.
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.
One's appetite has a role in controlling food intake and maintaining energy balance, but its effect on body metabolism related to obesity is still questionable. The purpose of this study was to determine the levels of neuropeptide Y in healthy people and to see differences in gender and anthropometric parameters. The hypothesis of this study was that there would be differences in neuropeptide Y levels in groups with gender and anthropometric parameter differences.
Cow's milk allergy (CMA) is the most common Food Allergy (FA) in children, and the essential strategy in prevention is avoiding the allergens that may cause potentially life-threatening reactions. The primary developmental task of early childhood is the creation of healthy eating habits. The diagnosis of FA in this period can lead to permanent changes in the life of the child and her family. In early childhood, parents are often responsible for all aspects of FA management because children are too young to understand the complexity of avoiding allergens. Children often do not have the skills to implement FA management. Parents are advised to follow a special weaning diet, avoiding any type of cow's milk, usually at least 1 year old. However, depending on the clinical improvement, it can be recommended to continue this exclusion diet for much longer. Thus, many children have to exclude a large group of food from their diets, which is critical for their growth, development, and eating habits. This may raise mealtime behavioral anxiety in a child with a FA. Eating behavioral anxieties are also very common in healthy, typically developing children. Even 25% to 45% of normally developing children's parents report concerns about their child's nutritional and mealtime behaviors, including the destructive child behaviors (eg., refusal of foods, food selectivity, and getting off the table). In children with food allergies, monitoring long-term growth after the diet is another important issue. Growth problems were reported in 21% of children with FA diagnosed with malnutrition. Most studies focused on the effect of changes in eating behavior on growth during an elimination diet or in short term intervals. Its long-term effects have only been analyzed in a few studies. We aimed to investigate the eating behaviors, nutritional status, and growth of young children (ages of 2 to 6) who had a strict diet due to CMA in early childhood (ages of 0-2).
The intervention study is designed to evaluate nutrient bioavailability and physiological impact of two selected microalgae species of interest in a randomized study in humans. The controlled study in parallel design will be conducted with healthy males and females between 20 and 35 years.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a 30 day beef intervention can improve peak cognitive performance in young, normally menstruating adult women. The control group will consume a daily portion of macronutrient equivalent vegetable source of protein.
