The relationship of maternal iodine status and neonatal thyrotropin concentration: a study in Southern Thailand.

Iodine deficiency disorder (IDD) is a global health problem. Previous studies in Southern Thailand have shown that the prevalence of goiter in schoolchildren is 3-5%, indicating that Southern Thailand is an iodine sufficient area. We conducted a study in pregnant women to determine their iodine status and whether there was an association between maternal urinary iodine excretion (UIE) and the neonatal thyrotropin (TSH) concentration. We recruited 244 pregnant women attending the antenatal clinic at Songklanagarind Hospital. Their mean age was 28.5 +/- 5.3 years (range 15-42) with a mean gestat

Trichuris Dysentery Syndrome: evidence that it may be underdiagnosed in Kelantan.

The prevalence rate of trichuriasis in children in certain areas of Kelantan is high. However the Trichuris Dysentery Syndrome (TDS), a condition in children characterized by chronic diarrhoea, stunting and anaemia is said to be rare. A recent change in policy at our institution to lower the threshold for undertaking colonoscopy in children with chronic diarrhoea resulted in the detection of 6 cases of TDS in less than a year. The median age was 7 years (range 3-13) and the median duration of symptoms before diagnosis was 2 years (range 1-8). The insidious nature of TDS and the low level of aw

Interaction between nutrition and inflammation in end-stage renal disease.

Interest in the misfolding and aggregation of human proteins into amyloid fibrils has increased dramatically in recent years. The systemic amyloidoses constitute a group of serious disorders that often affect the heart. Each systemic amyloid type is derived from one of several plasma proteins, most commonly immunoglobulin light chains or transthyretin. Rapid progress has been made in developing effective treatments for several systemic forms. There is also growing evidence that localized amyloids - such as those found in the brain or in the islets of Langerhans - or their smaller prefibrillar

Current controversies in carotene nutrition.

Most of the dietary vitamin A is derived from plant foods in the form of pro-vitamin A, the carotenoids. Though in 1930 it was first demonst … vivo conversion of carotene to vitamin A was found to vary from 20 to 80 per cent depending on the nutritional status. Vitamin A deficiency was found to enhance both the in vitro and in vivo conversion and protein deficiency to decrease both. Thus the present results confirm the convertibility of dietary carotenoids to vitamin A and could facilitate further investi …

Propofol for repeated burns dressings in a child: a case report.

The use of propofol for repeated burns dressings in a severely psychologically disturbed child is described. The benefits of using this method rather than the traditionally used ketamine are discussed. The lack of adverse side-effects and rapid restarting of feeding were found to be advantageous.

Prevention and treatment of peripheral neuropathy after bariatric surgery.

Given the ever-increasing problem of obesity, it is not surprising that the number of patients who undergo bariatric surgery continues to ri … esium is worthwhile. Checking total protein, albumin, and cholesterol also gives a sense of general nutritional status. Occasionally, no clear-cut deficiency of a vitamin, mineral, or trace element can be identified in patients with various peripheral nervous system manifestations. Nevertheless, these patients may have at least some recovery with improving nutrition …

Assessing the current landscape of North American pediatric nutrition support teams: A survey study.

INTRODUCTION: Nutrition support teams (NSTs) were developed to standardize nutrition evaluation practices and coordinate transdisciplinary e … More than 50% of respondents strongly agreed that an NST improved patient safety, improved patient nutritional status, improved quality of care, decreased rates of malnutrition, and promoted interdisciplinary care. Among those without an NST, 33% of respondents reported that they were previously unsuccessful at developing an NST at their site. Perceived barriers to …

Women living with and beyond breast cancer or a gynecologic malignancy frequently face a combined burden of endocrine disruption, treatment- … ally informed education should be evaluated using measurable outcomes, including dietary adherence, nutritional status, body weight and body composition, symptom control, quality of life, and sustained self-management across survivorship.

Clinical impact of systematic nutritional care in adults submitted to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

BackgroundThe development of nutrition care programs for patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is necessity in view of the rapid and aggressive consequences frequently seen with this procedure. Patients require constant care to reduce complications and to contribute to the success of therapy.MethodsIn an attempt to ascertain the impact of systematic nutritional care on patients submitted to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, the present study assessed the nutritional and clinical status, use of parenteral nutrition, and complication and mortality rates in

AIDS and malnutrition: dual assaults on the body.

The immune system is impaired by either malnutrition or human immunodeficiency virus infection. When these occur together, their compounding effects promote altered metabolism, inadequate intake, and malabsorption, which further impair immune function and contribute to human immunodeficiency virus wasting. Careful dietary management can help meet nutritional needs without further compromising the immune status of the person living with acquired immune deficiency syndrome.

Possible folate deficiency with postsurgical infection.

A 51-year-old obese woman was transferred to our hospital for management of a complicated laparoscopic cholecystectomy accompanied by fever … us antibiotics. Within a month of initiating nutrition support and vitamin/mineral supplements, her nutritional status improved dramatically. This patient's poor diet, long-term estrogen use, surgical stress, infection, and lack of early nutrition support may have contributed to her possible folate deficiency and her prolonged hospital stay.

A historical perspective and review of the safety of lipid emulsion in pregnancy.

Total parenteral nutrition for pregnant patients is essential to maintain or restore optimal nutritional status for both the mother and fetus when adequate protein and caloric intake by the oral or enteral route is not feasible. This report reviews the safety of intravenous lipid emulsions in total parenteral nutrition programs for pregnant patients. Controversy regarding the adverse effects of intravenous lipid emulsion when administered to pregnant patients is based on early reports of the use of cottonseed oil lipid emulsions. The adverse effects reported included infarction of the placenta…

Nutritional problems in inflammatory bowel disease: the patient perspective.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Crohn's Disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), which may result in nutrition problems that impact on patient health, nutritional status and quality of life. Subjective reports of how IBD patients experience these problems as part of their disease process, including comparisons between patient groups, or the need for tailored nutrition advice as perceived by these patients, have not been widely studied. This survey aimed to identify and explore nutritional problems that are important to CD and UC patients and to investigate their vie…

There was no difference between VitD status and gender, age, nutritional status, clinical and immunological classification, and type of ART. Only VitD consumption showed tendency of association with s25(OH)D (p = 0.064). Individuals analysed in summer/autumn season had a higher s25(OH)D compared to the ones analysed in winter/s …
