background trauma mostly occurs in young patients. trauma is characterized by a combination of cardiovascular, inflammatory, and metabolic responses. hypercatabolism after trauma may lead to acute protein malnutrition that ultimately results in multiple organ failure. nutritional support may prevent this sequence. therefore, nutritional support is an essential component of the care of critical ...

BACKGROUND There are numerous challenges in providing nutrition to the mechanically ventilated critically ill ICU patient. Understanding the level of nutritional support and the barriers to enteral feeding interruption in mechanically ventilated patients are important to maximise the nutritional benefits to the critically ill patients. Thus, this study aims to evaluate enteral nutrition deliver...

Plant breeders have made and will continue to make important contributions toward meeting the need for more and better feed and food. The use of new techniques to modify the genetic makeup of plants to improve their properties has led to a new generation of crops, grains and their by-products for feed. The use of ingredients and products from genetically modified plants (GMP) in animal nutritio...

background: earlier forms of food frequency questionnaire (ffq) used in iran have extensive lists of foods, traditional categories and food-based design, mostly with the interviewer-administered approach. the aim of the current paper is to describe the development of a dish-based, machine-readable, semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (dfq). methods: within the framework of the study ...

The value of dietary exogenous enzymes in promoting growth and efficiency of feed utilization is well recognized in poultry industry. In a case of high-cost yellow corn, several feed producers are choosing to replace yellow corn with other ingredients that have lower nutritional value like triticale, wheat, barley or sorghum. These crops are rich in non-starch polysaccharides (NSPs), and there ...

Feed resources availability at cheap and affordable prices for livestock consumption are major factors determining capability of livestock production to supply products for increasing urban and cities consumers in Nigeria. To take advantages of the high demand in urban areas, livestock producers on extensive pastoralism are moving closer to cities and urban communities such as Abuja the Nigeria...

The objective of this study was to formulate two ready to reconstitute (RTR) enteral formula feeds with whole some nutritional approach and ease of administration. A cohesive survey work was done to collect the information about commercially available enteral formulas as well as „home made‟ blenderized feeds preferred by some medical institutions. On the basis of the gathered information, few f...
