XEROPHTHALMIA and malnutrition are worldwide problems, and their relationships to each other are of special interest. It is the purpose of this paper to show that: (1) Xerophthalmia occurs not uncommonly in the Republic of South Africa. Previous reports of xerophthalmia in the Republic of South Africa are few. Kark (1943) and Klenerman (1950) stated that xerophthalmia infrequently accompanies p...

BACKGROUND Prenatal protein malnutrition disrupts the pattern of maturation and development of the hippocampus and its neuroanatomy and increases inhibition of the granular cell layer of the fascia dentata. If local gamma-aminobutyric acid inter-neurons are partly responsible for inhibition of the hippocampus, it is reasonable to assume that there may be an increase in the gamma-aminobutyric ac...

Background: Malnutrition in the ICU patients increases morbidity, mortality, cost, and mechanical ventilation (MV) duration. Nutric score has been validated as a screening tool critically ill to identify at risk of malnutrition. The pathophysiology malnutrition is caused by severity disease inflammation resulting hypercatabolism. Delivering protein-energy intake will reduce hypercatabolism main...

Background: Vitamin D insufficiency is an overall scourge with late gauges showing that more prominent than 50 % of the worldwide populace in danger. Protein-energy malnutrition probably going to be related nutrient admission insufficiency. The point this review was survey serum vitamin and its medical issue youngsters protein energy ailing health deficiency on rise as a major public problem In...

The risk of protein calorie malnutrition among the community dwelling elderly is high. If undetected or untreated malnutrition can raise risks of morbidity and mortality. Therefore, improving screening, assessment and treatment of malnutrition, particularly in ambulatory settings that serve the elderly is imperative. The aim of this paper is to briefly detail the diagnostic criteria for protein...

in recent years there have been many attempts to develop and market inexpensive mixtures of high protein food for the children in developing areas of the world. biological studies have shown that these foods are rich sources of protein and are every effective in combating protein malnutrition. however, practical marketing and distribution has not been very successful due to the local people's h...

Abstract Malnutrition is observed in around one three hospital inpatients; this harmful ICD10-AM-coded disease a strong independent predictor of adverse older adult and healthcare outcomes, mortality, treatment costs globally, particularly multimorbid, adults. Despite recognition malnutrition as disease, nutrition support prescriptions are often not valued the medicine to treat it. This chapter...

This study investigated the effects of a short period of severeprotein malnutrition on subsequent growth and development in the squir-el'monkey. A,total of 12 newborn monkeys were fea a low protein die from 2 to ,8 weeks of age then rehabilitated by returning them to the 13 percent protein diet.of the control group. Minimum amount of protein needed for-maximum growth was about half that of the ...
