The impact of Caesarean delivery mode towards brain and neurodevelopment among children
Get PDFIn regards to the rising rate of Caesarean birth globally, there is concern about the risk of Caesarean birth in children. However, the effect of Caesarean delivery towards the child brain and neurodevelopment is not well understood. We reviewed articles from online database with topics related to the relation between caesarean delivery mode and brain development/neurodevelopment/behaviour and emotional development. Several studies discussed how birth mode could affect brain structural connectivity through neural and hormone changes. Some studies also assessed possible effect on child’s psychological development. The result showed differences in child’s brain development between caesarean and natural delivery in the early life, but not in the long run. Additionally, no significant association between birth mode and emotional problem
Efficacy of branched-chain amino acid to increase muscle strength in chronic heart failure patients: an evidence-based case report
Get PDFBackground: Chronic heart failure (CHF) patients can fall into cardiac cachexia (CC), which is marked by the decrease of muscle mass and strength. Cardiac cachexia decreases the functional capacity and quality of life also increases the length of stay, medical fees, complications, and mortality rate. Branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) accounted for 35% of amino acids that build the muscle. We hope that BCAA supplementation can increase muscle strength of CHF patients, especially the elderly who is more prone to fall into CC. Thus, we performed an evidence-based case report to seek an opportunity of BCAA supplementation to an elderly with CHF.Objectives: To determine the efficacy of BCAA supplementation on increasing muscle strength in CHF patients.Methods: Literature searching of the evidence-based case report was performed on Pubmed, Cochrane, and Scopus according to the clinical query. Screening on title, abstract, and full text was done based on eligibility criteria (meta-analysis or clinical trials, suitability to clinical questions, English language, full-text availability, and human studies), followed by duplication filter and critical appraisal.Results: A randomized-controlled trial was found, but it didn’t find a significant difference between the experimental and control groups.Conclusions: BCAA supplementation doesn’t give a significant improvement in muscle strength in CHF patients

Get PDFI would like to be focused on not only protein and vitamin D intake but several nutrients which is considered to be important for health of the elderly in this difficult social condition
Probiotics as prevention for gastro-intestinal disorders in pediatrics
Get PDFThis is a narrative review of largely randomized trials on the impacts of probiotics. It concludes that evidence for beneficial effects of selected probiotics in the prevention of gastrointestinal disorders is limited mainly to acute gastroenteritis, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, infantile colic and necrotizing enterocolitis. However, there is no broad consensus to recommend the use of probiotics in the prevention of these conditions, mainly because of the different designs used in different studies, resulting in limited evidence for specific strains, dosages and indications. More well-designed studies utilizing standardized methodologies are needed before recommendations can be proposed. At this stage, there is insufficient evidence to recommend the routine use of probiotics in infants and children for the prevention of gastro-intestinal disorder
The Role of Obstetrician in Reducing the Risks of Childhood Allergy Related to Cesarean Birth: A Literature Review
Get PDFWomen’s decision on birth mode should consider its risks and benefits, including long-term risks of caesarean among children. This study aims to present the current available evidences on the risks of caesarean towards childhood allergy and how an obstetrician could prevent this outcome through nutrition and education. We searched articles from several online databases about the link between caesarean, childhood allergy, and prenatal intervention. There were significant risks of childhood asthma and food allergy, but it was still unclear for allergic rhinitis and atopic dermatitis. Nutritional intervention could be done for pregnant women with consumption of probiotics and vitamin D supplementation. In addition, prenatal education is necessary to prepare better childhood outcomes
Optimizing iron absorption to achieve iron adequacy for children’s growth and development
Get PDFIron nutrition plays important roles in human health. In many developing countries, iron deficiency, caused by many factors, prevails. One well-documented clinical form of iron deficiency is iron-deficiency anemia (IDA)
Caesarean delivery mode and its impact on children’s growth and cognitive development
Get PDFThere is an increasing concern on the potential risk of Caesarean birth on child health outcomes. This study aims to present the current available evidences on the effect of Caesarean section on child’s growth and development. Literature searching were done on several online databases to identify articles which discussed the effect of Caesarean birth on child’s body weight, length, nutritional status, cognitive development, memory, learning ability, and intelligence quotient. Several studies showed positive association between Caesarean and risk of overweight and obesity in childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. While, there has not been sufficient evidences to confirm the association between C-section and child’s cognitive outcomes
The effect of omega 3 fatty acid supplementation on HbA1c serum in geriatric patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: an evidence-based case report
Get PDFBackground: The prevalence of diabetes mellitus as a non-communicable diseases increase annually. The global prevalence doubled from 4.7% to 8.5% in 1980 until 2016. Insulin resistance is the primary cause of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Polyunsaturated fatty acid has a contribution to membrane fluidity as well as the cell signaling system. The result of studies about the correlation between Omega-3 supplementation and blood glucose control in patients with type 2 diabetes is still inconsistent. Meanwhile, we considered to give a 86 year old woman with an uncontrolled type 2 diabetes omega-3 fatty acid supplementation for controlling her blood glucose. Thus, we performed an evidence-based case report to respond this problem.Objectives: To observe the effect of omega-3 supplementation on glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) serum of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Methods: Electronic literature searching was performed with Cochrane®, Scopus®, and Pubmed®. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied by MeSH term and title/abstract with clinical trial as the study design. Critical appraisal was performed for eligible article.Results: There were three articles relevant with the eligibility criteria and clinical question. One study found that omega-3 supplementation did not give a significant effect on HbA1c. The other two studies. found that there were improvement on HbA1c and lipid profile in patients that consumed omega 3.Conclusions: Omega-3 supplementation has inconsistent results for the improvement of HbA1c. The omega-3 lowering effect of HbA1c depends on the source, dosage, and duration of supplementation
Benefit of synbiotic intervention in Caesarean section born infants and children: A nutritional perspective
Get PDFThe benefit to have infants being delivered physiologically through vagina is amongst others to get maternal microbes transmission that will affect host immunity and metabolic development. However this mode of delivery is not always the choice to infants for several reasons. Therefore, it raises questions whether there is a need to give specific intervention to the caesarean section (C-section) born infants and children for their optimal growth and development, i.e. provision of nutrients with or without pre-, pro- or synbiotics. Nutritional intervention is certainly important to support growth and development of all children, especially those born by C-section. However, in addition, to anticipate perturbation in the gut microbiota there is a need to prepare the C-section born infant through translocation from the mother’s intestinal microbiota, early initiation of breastfeeding and/or synbiotic supplementation formula. The superiority of synbiotic compare to prebiotic or probiotic alone is that synbiotic thought to have synergistic beneficial effects on the immune and metabolic systems in which it compensates the delayed Bifidobacterium colonization in C-section delivered infants and modulates the production of acetate and the acidification of the gut. However we still need to find consistent evidence & recommendation in the world on synbiotic for children in general and specifically for the C-section born infant & children that may have an impact on healthy young children’s gut microbiota
