Yogurt in the prevention of diabetes mellitus
Full text linkYogurt, a popular fermented dairy product, is lauded for its nutritional benefits and role in promoting gut health. Recent studies have highlighted its potential in preventing chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This abstract delves into the mechanisms through which yogurt exerts its beneficial effects and explores how its regular consumption may contribute to diabetes prevention. Yogurt is rich in essential nutrients such as calcium, vitamin D, protein, and probiotics. The probiotics, particularly strains of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, play a crucial role in maintaining gut microbiota balance. These live bacteria contribute to improved digestion and enhance immune function, pivotal in managing and preventing metabolic disorders like T2DM
Nutrition management of intestinal failure: From neonates to the elderly
Full text linkDouble enterostomies (DES) and necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) are prevalent in neonatal intensive care units (NICU), commonly resulting from surgical removal of diseased intestine. Sarcopenia prevalence is >40% in community dwelling elderly >65 yrs and is associated with poor nutritional status before/after abdominal surgery, with intestinal failure (IF) and high output stoma losses. Parenteral Nutrition (PN) is the standard of care for Type 2 IF patients with DES or enteroatmospheric fistulas (EAF), but risks catheter-related complications, infection, gut and hepatobiliary dysfunction. Chyme reinfusion therapy (CRT) is a recommended distal feeding technique that may minimise these risks
Mothers insights on food marketing of sweet products for children
Full text linkThe 2018 Indonesian Basic Health Survey found that children aged 3-5 frequently consume sugary foods and drinks. Parental feeding practices significantly influence children's diets and health. Meanwhile, sophisticated food marketing targets parents, often promoting unhealthy foods high in sugar and challenging healthy feeding practices. 
Effect of oral vitamin E supplementation on lipid profile in diabetes mellitus: evidence based case report
Full text linkIntroduction: Diabetes mellitus, a prominent non-communicable disease, presents as a chronic condition associated with various complications, including heart disease, nerve damage, chronic kidney disease, and dyslipidemia. A pivotal abnormality in diabetic dyslipidemia is insulin resistance, which stimulates the production of Hepatic VLDL1 (very-low-density lipoprotein 1). The resulting overproduction of VLDL1 is metabolically linked to an abundance of small, dense LDL (low-density lipoprotein) particles and a reduction in large, cholesterol-rich HDL2 (high-density lipoprotein). Conversely, vitamin E, known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, acts as a remover of peroxyl radicals, preventing lipid oxidation and safeguarding polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) within cells and plasma lipoproteins.
Method: This study investigates the impact of oral vitamin E supplementation on the lipid profile in diabetic patients. Employing advanced search techniques on databases like PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar, we conducted a comprehensive literature search using MeSH terms, advanced search methods, and specific eligibility criteria. The results yielded one systematic review with a meta-analysis and two randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that met the predefined PICO and eligibility criteria.
Results: The systematic review and meta-analysis, along with one RCT, reported no significant reduction in lipid profiles with oral vitamin E supplementation in diabetic patients. In contrast, the other RCT observed an improvement in lipid profiles among diabetic patients receiving oral vitamin E supplementation.
Conclusion: Supplementing with oral vitamin E does not enhance the lipid profile of individuals with diabetes mellitus
The role of polyphenols in atopic dermatitis: a literature review
Full text linkBackground: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin with the appearance of pruritic eczema lesions, mostly found in young children, and impact their quality of life (QoL). In concordance with numerous treatment options, some adverse effect might. Recently, it has been discovered that polyphenols may provide satisfactory results for AD therapy and patient’s QoL.
Objectives: This literature review objective to summarize recent research the use of polyphenols for AD therapy.
Methods: This is a literature review. Literature search was conducted in Pubmed, EBSCOHOST, Proquest, and Google Scholar, using keywords: “atopic dermatitis”, “atopic eczema” and “polyphenols”. Inclusion criteria were: 1) Randomized clinical trials, case reports, case series, literature reviews, systematic reviews, meta-analysis, cohorts, and experimental studies, 2) Available in full text, 3) Written in English, 4) Research studies with intervention conducted in human, 5) Research studies from early 2000s . While article with lack of available data is excluded. The author use Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) to assess the role of polyphenols in QoL for AD.
Results: The use of polyphenols in AD shows satisfactory results through their antioxidant, anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory properties. Several studies have observed improvements in sleep disturbance scores, itchiness, and levels of skin moisture and elasticity levels in patients with AD.
Conclusions: Polyphenols use in AD provide satisfactory results in reducing symptoms that interfere with QoL. However, due to the limited number of studies conducted on human, further studies of larger-scale participants are needed to confirm the effect of polyphenols in AD treatment
Nutritional care is a human right: incorporating principles into clinical practice
Full text linkThe landmark Vienna Declaration (VD), initiated by the international human rights working group (IHRWG) and endorsed by more than 75 professional societies acknowledged that nutritional care is a human right alongside the right to food and the right to health. In a series of position papers the IHRWG have elaborated on the commitments required for translating human rights and ethical principles into clinical practice.1-3 The ultimate objective of the VD is to ensure all patients have a right to be screened and diagnosed for disease related malnutrition (DRM) then to receive evidence based artificially administered nutrition and hydration (AANH) administered by an interdisciplinary team of experts to positively impact clinical outcomes and survival. Unfortunately, nutritional care in hospitals and post discharge is frequently below standard and is not part of the patient's holistic care.2 Reasons include; inadequate education of healthcare professionals (HCPs), lack of malnutrition awareness, no reimbursement for nutrition treatments, or absence of public health policy.2,
High blood pressure is correlated with anthropometric status in adults in Gribig district, Central Java, Indonesia
Full text linkBackground: More than 17 million deaths worldwide are caused by cardiovascular disease due to high blood pressure. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 1.3 billion adults will have high blood pressure in 2021. Obesity is a significant factor influencing blood pressure. Waist circumference measurements and body mass index (BMI) can be used to identify obesity issues.
Objective: The aim was to analyze the correlation between BMI, waist circumference, and blood pressure among adults at Primary Health Care in Kudus, Central Java, Indonesia.
Methods: This cross-sectional study evaluated BMI, waist circumference, blood pressure, and questionnaire. Men and women aged 18-59 (healthcare staff, patient caregivers, and patients) who agreed to become study subjects were included. Participants with a history of diseases, current conditions, medication intake that affects blood pressure, and pregnancy were excluded. Samples were taken using purposive sampling and the Pearson test as a statistical analysis.
Results: The analysis showed a significant correlation between the BMI of patients with systolic blood pressure (p=0.000) and diastolic blood pressure (p=0.000). A moderate relationship was found between BMI and systolic blood pressure(r=0.473) and diastolic blood pressure (r=0.439). Moreover, waist circumference was significantly correlated with systolic blood pressure (p=0.000) and diastolic blood pressure (p=0.000).
Conclusion: A significant correlation exists between BMI and waist circumference with blood pressure among adults at the Primary Health Care in Kudus, Central Java, Indonesia
Relation between nutrition intake, prediabetes, and central obesity with handgrip strength in Indonesian medical student
Full text linkBackground: Muscles are crucial in creating movement, stabilising body posture, and regulating body temperature. Muscle strength can be assessed using handgrip strength. Handgrip strength can predict muscle function, nutritional status, diabetes risk, and the risk of metabolic syndrome. Handgrip strength can be influenced by muscle mass, nutritional intake, fat mass, physical activity level, and metabolic syndrome.
Objective: This research is to find relationship between handgrip strength and nutritional intake, muscle mass, and central obesity.
Methods: The research was conducted as a cross-sectional study using observational analytical methods. The sample consisted of 53 individuals selected through purposive sampling. Handgrip strength can be measured using a hand dynamometer, nutritional intake using a 2x24 hour food recall, muscle mass using a body composition analyzer, central obesity using waist to hip ratio, and fasting blood sugar using a glucometer. Statistical data analysis employed the chi-square test and independent T-test.
Results: The results indicated a relationship between central obesity and handgrip strength (p = 0.006). Researchers are interested in studying muscle strength and its predictors concerning central obesity, prediabetes, and nutritional status in medical students. The results indicated a relationship between handgrip strength and central obesity (p = 0.006), but no relationship was found between handgrip strength and energy intake (p = 0.235), protein intake (p = 0.524), and prediabetes (p = 0.272).
Conclusion: There is a relationship between central obesity and handgrip strength. Future researchers are encouraged to consider additional factors, including physical activity, muscle mass index, and comorbidities

Validation of a questionnaire to assess mothers’ intentions to purchase iron-fortified cereals for children aged 6-23 months
Full text linkMothers introducing solid foods (other than breast milk) to their babies (aged 6 to 23 months) rely heavily on nutrition labels when selecting infant cereals. Therefore, it is crucial to identify maternal knowledge regarding iron and the factors influencing their intentions to purchase iron-enriched cereals using the theory of planned behavior. This information will assist in formulating maternal purchasing decisions for high-iron infant cereals. As the questionnaire has not been validated yet, it needs to be validated. Aim to validate the questionnaire to evaluate mothers' intention to buy iron-fortified cereal for children aged 6-23 months using the theory of planned behavior and iron-related knowledge questionnaires
