Filter by:The use of ultrasound in clinical practice is feasible for monitoring muscle mass in critically ill patients. Assessment of muscle mass by ultrasound is clinically relevant and adds value for guiding therapeutic interventions, such as nutritional and physical therapy interventions to maintain muscle mass and promote recovery in critically ill patients.
The goal of this observational study is to compare the nutritional intake among pregnant women with a strict plant-based diet versus an omnivorous diet. The main aim is to compare vitamin B12 intake. Participants will be asked to: - fill out a health questionnaire - fill out a three-day food diary - undergo blood sampling Researchers will compare pregnant women with a strict plant-based diet and pregnant women with an omnivorous diet to see if their nutritional intake is comparable.
Assess what revisional surgery is superior and provides the best weight loss after primary LSG. What is the occurrence of complications and the nutritional laboratory status? And if the resolution and /or improvement of associated medical problems after the weight loss will occur.
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).
