Correlation of calorie intake with 24-hour urinary urea nitrogen level changes in critically ill patients at RSUI Depok, Indonesia
Full text linkCalorie together with protein intake has been proven to be important factors that play a role in critically ill patients. Hypermetabolism in the early acute phase increases energy expenditure and calorie requirement. Insufficient calorie intake will increase protein degradation for gluconeogenesis, which can be assessed by the level of 24-hour urinary urea nitrogen (UUN). Adequate daily calorie intake is expected to improve the UUN level in patients. This study aims to investigates the correlation of calorie intake with UUN level changes in critically ill patients
Lipid profile and anthropometry indices of franchised fast-food consumers in South Western states in Nigeria: Nutritional Status of consumer of franchised fast food in south western states in Nigeria
No full textBackground: Franchised fast foods are known for their unique tastes as it contains a number of spices that makes it delicious. Daily busy schedules have made consumption of franchised fast foods (FFFs) an easy option and control of our food choices even at home.
Objective: This research investigated the lipid profile and anthropometric indices of consumers of franchised fast foods (FFFs) in South-Western States in Nigeria.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study in South-West Nigeria and comprised three states: Lagos, Oyo, and Ogun. 300 respondents were recruited from ten (10) purposively selected fast-food outlets in Ikeja, Abeokuta and Ibadan cities, Nigeria. Standardized method for assessing plasma lipid profile was used. A well-structured and pretested questionnaire was used for the survey. The statistical analysis was done using 95% confidence interval and an error percentage of 5%.
Results: The major consumers of FFFs are single, younger adults, educated, and relatively high-income earners. Majority of male (39% and 23%) and females (33% and 41%) have excellent and good health status respectively. Significant association was observed between BMI and HDL-C (p=0.009) of male, and Significant differences existed among the BMI and all lipid profiles of female respondents (p<0.050).
Conclusion: The study conclude that both genders are at risk of age-related NCDs in the future due to inadequate physical activity and dependence on FFFs. The consumption of FFFs is common among young people, high-income earners and educated people
Malnutrition post liver transplant
Full text linkBefore undergoing liver transplantation, it is essential for patients to maintain optimal nutrition. Malnutrition is common among individuals with liver disease and can have detrimental effects on the outcome of the surgery. Research has shown that malnourished patients are at higher risk of developing postoperative complications, such as infections, poor wound healing, and longer hospital stays
The importance of nutritional care in an aging society
Full text linkJapan has been facing serious aged society ahead of the world as seniors’ population has exceeded 27%. In this background, there are concepts of conventional life expectancy and healthy life expectancy. The period during which one can live independently without relying on nursing care is called healthy life expectancy and there is about ten years gap exists between these two life expectancies
Meta analysis studies: effectiveness of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (ω-3 PUFA) supplementation on clinical outcomes in lung cancer patients
Full text linkLung cancer is a malignant cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Appropriate nutritional care planning for lung cancer patients needs to be considered, one of which is by providing omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3 PUFAs) in the patient's nutrition management plan. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of ω-3 PUFA supplementation on clinical outcomes in lung cancer. 
The latent risk of iron deficiency during childhood period
Full text linkAnaemia is a serious public health concern for Indonesian children under the age of five, with a prevalence of more than 20% according to the last national health survey in 2023. Iron deficiency accounts for over half of anaemia cases, causing delayed cognitive development, weakened immune systems, and poor overall health outcomes. Inadequate dietary intake, a poor socioeconomic level, and a high prevalence of infectious diseases exacerbate the situation, necessitating targeted nutritional therapy and public health initiatives to address this prevalent issue of iron deficiency anaemia (IDA)
Optimizing nutrients intake of children in Indonesia: Dietary modelling approach
Full text linkThe prevalence of obesity is rising in high-income countries, while low-income populations face the triple burden of malnutrition. Improving dietary intake is crucial in addressing these issues. Diet optimization or diet modelling have emerged as valuable tools for identifying the optimal combination of foods that meet daily nutritional requirements by incorporating nutrient-dense options into the diet
Linking minds and growth: maternal mental health and child stunting : A systematic review
Full text linkMaternal mental health during pregnancy has a significant impact on early childhood development, but its association with child growth outcomes, notably stunting, has received less attention, particularly in Indonesia
Enteral nutrition with medium-chain triglyceride compared to total parenteral nutrition in patient with chylothorax: an evidence based case report
Full text linkIntroduction: Chylothorax is associated with longer length of stay, higher morbidity, mortality, and hospitalization cost. The main principle of chylothorax therapy is to reduce the chylous flow. The current nutritional management of patients with chylothorax are a low fat diet with long chain triglyceride (LCT) restriction, enteral nutrition with high medium chain triglyceride (MCT), and total parenteral nutrition. However, low fat diet with LCT restriction takes quite a long time (around 3 weeks) and requires close monitoring due to risk for malnutrition, essential fatty acid, and micronutrient deficiencies. The nutritional management determines the success of conservative therapy in chylothorax patients. The aim of this study was to determine whether a high MCT enteral diet is more superior than total parenteral nutrition regarding the resolution of chylothorax.
Method: Literature searching was conducted using advanced searching in three large databases: Pubmed, Science Direct, and ProQuest using eligibility criteria determined by the authors. Quality of evidences were assessed based on GRADE Guidelines. Level evidence was determined based on Oxford Center of Evidence-based Medicine (CEBM).
Result: Three systematic reviews and one cohort met the PICO and eligibility criteria that had been set. Two studies concluded that enteral nutrition was better than parenteral nutrition. One study concluded that parenteral nutrition could be considered first and one study could not conclude which kind of nutrition was better.
Conclusion: Administration of high MCT enteral nutrition can be the first line therapy in patients with chylothorax and still need close monitoring during the administration. One of the factors that need to be monitored is the daily production of chylothorax volume. The results shown by these studies are inconsistent and warrant further research of high-quality studies regarding the treatment of chylothorax
The impact of omega-3 on recurrent seizures in epileptic patients: A case study with evidence-based approaches
Full text linkBackground: Epileptogenesis is also associated with increased production of excessive pro-inflammatory cytokines” which shows connection between pro-inflammatory cytokines as triggering factor with omega-3 which has anti-inflammatory effect. Omega-3, known for its neuroprotective and anticonvulsant properties, exhibits promising effects on epileptic seizure attacks.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of omega-3 supplementation on the incidence of seizures in epilepsy patients.
Methods: This study used a literature search using advanced queries in the databases PubMed, Scopus, ProQuest, and Cochrane Library, and combined MeSH terms with Title/Abstract. The collected literature is discarded if there are duplicates, then literature is filtered that meets the eligibility criteria. We used the Oxford Center for Evidence-Based Medicine as a means of critical appraisal and determining the level of evidence of the selected literature.
Results: Four chosen literatures were critically assessed. Two articles indicating no significant difference between omega-3 and placebo and two articles showed had a significantly higher number of seizure-free days than placebo. The first article, involving 78 adults, reported a 50% reduction in seizure risk with a frequency RR of 0.57, 95% CI 0.19 to 1.75 (IS = 0%) indicating no significant difference between omega-3 and placebo groups after 12 weeks of treatment. The second study, comprising mostly non-significant findings, demonstrated no significant correlation between omega-3 and epilepsy attacks in epilepsy patients. The third literature revealed seizure occurrences per month in the EPA group (9.7±1.2), DHA group (11.7±1.5), and placebo group (16.6±1.5). Incidence rate ratio (IRR) adjusted for seizure type in EPA and DHA groups compared to the placebo group were 0.61 (CI = 0.42–0.88, p = 0.008, a 42% reduction) and 0.67 (CI = 0.46–1.0, p = 0.04, a 39% reduction), respectively. Both treatment groups had a significantly higher number of seizure-free days compared to the placebo group (p < 0.05). The fourth study reported intervention group frequency (4.72 ± 1.6, p= 0.014) and placebo frequency (11.64 ± 1.63, p=0.014) with intervention group seizure duration (6.64 ± 1.39, p=0.009) compared to placebo group (14.36 ± 2.18, p=0.009).
Conclusion: Omega-3 supplementation may be considered for management in patients with recurrent epileptic seizures, although its effect on reducing seizure frequency remains inconsistent
