Infectious diseases remain a major health and socioeconomic problem in many low-income countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. For many years, the three most devastating diseases, HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis (TB) have received most of the world's attention. However, in rural and impoverished urban areas, a number of infectious diseases remain neglected and cause massive suffering...
In the elderly, immunosenescence and malnourishment can contribute to increased risk and severity of upper respiratory tract infections (URTI). Gold kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis 'Hort16A') contains nutrients important for immune function and mitigation of symptoms of infection, including vitamins C and E, folate, polyphenols and carotenoids. The objective of the present study was to evaluate ...
Juvenile malnourishment affects learning and task performance in many species, and is well documented in mammals, but poorly studied in invertebrates. We examined the effect of nutritional stress during larval development on the longevity and task performance of honey bee (Apis mellifera) adults. Nutritional stress occurs naturally in honey bee colonies when pollen, which provides honey bees wi...
Feeding practices refer generally to meet nutritional and immunological needs of the baby at different stages of child growth. A study of feeding practices was carried out on a sample of 100 infants in the age group of 5 months to 2 years. The results have revealed that factors like income level and caste of the family, had direct bearing on these practices. Caste was found to have direct impac...
AIM To identify malnourishment of surgical and oncologic patients or those at risk of becoming malnourished at four hospital centers in Croatia by use of nutritional screening questionnaire developed specifically for the purpose of this study. METHOD The study included 1639 adult patients: 1475 scheduled for various surgical treatments and 164 oncologic patients receiving primary or adjuvant ...
OBJECTIVES To determine the extent to which children with a hospital admission related to assault or maltreatment or to a notified sexually transmitted infection (STI) have contact with the Western Australian Department for Child Protection (DCP), and to investigate injuries and conditions often associated with child maltreatment and subsequent contact with the DCP. DESIGN, PARTICIPANTS AND S...
We have determined rates of fatty acid (FA) synthesis from glucose carbon and all two-carbon units in control mice and in mice bearing Ehrlich ascites carcinomas. Using [U-14C]glucose and 3H2O as tracers under three nutritional conditions (24-hr fasted, 24-hr fasted-refed, and ad libitum fed-refed), we found that lipogenic regulatory mechanisms in adipose tissue and livers of mice bearing advan...
OBJECTIVE Patients undergoing total gastrectomy for cancer are at risk of malnourishment. The aim of this self-controlled study was to examine the effect of jejunostomy tube feeding (JTF) and other factors on postoperative weight and the incidence of jejunostomy-related complications in patients undergoing total gastrectomy for cancer. METHODS All consecutive patients who underwent total gast...
We evaluated the impact of serum uric acid (SUA) on mortality in patients with chronic dialysis. A total of 4132 adult patients on dialysis were enrolled prospectively between August 2008 and September 2014. Among them, we included 1738 patients who maintained dialysis for at least 3 months and had available SUA in the database. We categorized the time averaged-SUA (TA-SUA) into 5 groups: <5.5,...
OBJECTIVES Antenatal care (ANC) is an essential part of primary healthcare and its provision has expanded worldwide. There is limited evidence of large-scale cross-country studies on the impact of ANC offered to pregnant women on child health outcomes. We investigate the association of ANC in low-income and middle-income countries with short- and long-term mortality and nutritional child outcom...
