Leishmaniasis remains one of the world's most devastating neglected tropical diseases. It mainly affects developing countries, where it often co-exists with chronic malnutrition, one of the main risk factors for developing the disease. Few studies have been published, however, on the relationship between leishmaniasis progression and malnutrition. The present paper reports the influence of prot...

Abstract Objectives The study aims to develop a stable malnourished experimental mice model resembling the human population for future studies. Materials and Methodology At weaning, female BALB/c are separated into two groups: one receiving low protein diet (LPD, 10% protein) other commercially available normal pellet (ND, 18% protein). Model development stability were assessed using body mass ...

AIM To report a study of the effects of protein-energy malnutrition on the functional recovery of older people with hip fracture who participated in an interdisciplinary intervention. BACKGROUND It is not clear whether protein-energy malnutrition is associated with worse functional outcomes or it affects the interdisciplinary intervention program on the functional recovery of older people wit...

Low protein intake had been shown to reduce rate of kidney function decline, while insufficient resulted in malnutrition chronic disease (CKD) patients. Methods estimate daily CKD patients can be tedious and prone bias inaccuracies.

UNLABELLED Infections and malnutrition remain the main causes of infant mortality in developing countries. In protein-calorie malnutrition, immunologic responses are affected, which often facilitates infections. However, the presence of asthma and allergic rhinitis are not commonly recognized in malnourished individuals. The aim of this study was to evaluate serum IgE values in children with pr...

The syndrome of protein-calorie malnutrition is associated with an increased frequency of infections which often precipitate or aggravate the state of malnutrition. The importance and the farreaching implications of the interaction between malnutrition and infections, a predominantly synergistic one, have been stressed by Scrimshaw, Taylor, and Gordon (1959) and more recently by the Joint FAO/W...

1. alpha 2HS-glycoprotein accumulates in bone and dentine and its plasma levels could vary in conditions in which the rate of bone formation is altered. 2. The plasma concentration of this protein was found to be lower in thirteen children suffering from protein-energy malnutrition compared with age-matched healthy preschool children. 3. This finding might be associated with the phenomenon of s...

Background and objectives : Anemia prevalence, especially iron deficiency anemia, among Indonesian toddlers is high. Iron may interfere nerve development also cause immune problems. Protein malnutrition anemia. The prevalence higher in 6-23 months age group due to the increase need. However, correlations between protein intake with hemoglobin levels are still showing different results researche...
