Comparison of Body Composition Bio Electrical Impedance Analysis of Type-1 Diabetes vs. Non-Diabetes in Children and Adolescent
No full textBackground: The greater frequency of overweight and obese children with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) may be caused in part by intensive insulin therapy.
Objective: To compare body composition by bio electrical impedance analysis among TIDM versus healthy children and adolescents in Pakistan.
Methods: This comparative cross-sectional study was performed during Jan-March, 2023. Type 1 diabetic children and adolescents were enrolled from pediatric endocrinology out-patient clinic of National Institute of Child Health whereas healthy children and adolescents were enrolled from a nearby school to the hospital location. Evaluation of anthropometry indices and bioelectrical impedance analysis was performed after taking consent of parents.
Results: Total 100 subjects were enrolled into the study, 50 each in diabetic and healthy group. Mean age of participants was 10.4 ± 2.4 years. Majority of study subjects were females (61%). Mean duration of TIDM was 4.7 ± 0.8 years. Height (127.4 ± 11.7 versus 139.5 ± 15, p<0.001), Waist-hip ratio (0.8 ± 0.1 versus 0.7± 0.3, p=0.037) and resistance (686.2 ± 90.7 versus 651.1 ± 96.6, p=0.002) were significantly higher among T1DM group than healthy group. Percentage of muscle mass (45.1 ± 8.2 versus 50.3 ± 7.6, p=0.008), body cell mass (47.1 ± 3.8 versus 50.6 ± 4.5, p=0.045), reactance (56.3 ± 9.8 versus 62.4 ± 4.2, p=0.017) and phase angle (4.3 ± 0.9 versus 5.7 ± 0.6, p=0.012) were significantly lower in T1DM patients than healthy individuals.
Conclusion: BIA analysis showed undesirable body composition and body functional status among T1DM children and adolescents than healthy group in terms of resistance, reactance and phase angle
Comparison of Body Composition Bio Electrical Impedance Analysis of Type-1 Diabetes vs. Non-Diabetes in Children and Adolescent
No full textBackground: Analyzing the body composition of children and adolescents with diabetes is becoming more and more popular. For
managing weight changes that may emerge from treatment and evaluating treatment response, it is essential to comprehend the
body composition of diabetic children.
Objective: To compare body composition by Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) among T1DM versus healthy children and
adolescents in Pakistan.
Methods: This comparative cross-sectional study was performed during Jan-March, 2023. Type 1 diabetic children and adolescents
were enrolled from the pediatric endocrinology outpatient clinic of the National Institute of Child Health whereas healthy children
and adolescents were enrolled from a nearby school to the hospital location. Evaluation of anthropometry indices and bioelectrical
impedance analysis was performed after obtaining the consent of parents.
Results: A total of 100 subjects were enrolled in the study, 50 each in the diabetic and healthy group. The mean age of participants
was 10.4 ± 2.4 years. The majority of study subjects were females (61%). The mean duration of T1DM was 4.7 ± 0.8 years. Height
(127.4 ± 11.7 versus 139.5 ± 15, p<0.001), Waist-hip ratio (0.8 ± 0.1 versus 0.7± 0.3, p=0.037) and resistance (686.2 ± 90.7 versus
651.1 ± 96.6, p=0.002) were significantly higher among T1DM group than healthy group. Percentage of muscle mass (45.1 ± 8.2
versus 50.3 ± 7.6, p=0.008), body cell mass (47.1 ± 3.8 versus 50.6 ± 4.5, p=0.045), reactance (56.3 ± 9.8 versus 62.4 ± 4.2,
p=0.017) and phase angle (4.3 ± 0.9 versus 5.7 ± 0.6, p=0.012) were significantly lower in T1DM patients than healthy individuals.
Conclusion: BIA analysis showed that body composition parameters and body functional status were lower among T1DM children
and adolescents than in the healthy group in terms of resistance, reactance, and phase angle
Las revisiones de literatura: el caso del color animal
No full textScientific articles constantly evolve and grow exponentially because they consist of the inspection of the literature on a specific topic, in such a way that the most relevant information is gathered, synthesized, commented, contextualized and integrated, and even, in some cases, new meta-knowledge is generated using computer tools. An investigation was carried out on literature reviews on color biology in animals, the research consisted of three stages: recovery, healing, and analysis and visualization of the data set made up of 206 reviews on color emission, color vision, the interaction between the two and the associated human applications. References are available in an open, reusable, interoperable and labeled in online collection, available on the Web to everyone. In addition, the analysis of the reviews is presented with respect to nine variables: year, type of review, access, references, citations, approaches, color origin, title terms and taxa. 11 different types of reviews were also identified and six criteria were used to recognize literature reviews: 1) the title, 2) the abstract, 3) the section, 4) the keywords, 5) the category in a database, and 6) the reference quantity. Reviews constitute the most read and cited type of article in research because they process relevant literature both qualitatively and quantitatively to create new relationships and interpretations, and in many cases innovative approaches are even used that are worth taking advantage of in animal science research.La información de los artículos científicos evoluciona constantemente y así el conocimiento crece exponencialmente porque consisten en la inspección de la literatura sobre un tópico específico, de tal manera que se reúne, sintetiza, comenta, contextualiza e integra la información e incluso, se genera nuevo meta-conocimiento. Se realizó una investigación sobre las revisiones de literatura en biología del color en los animales, la investigación constó de tres etapas: recuperación, curación, y análisis y visualización del conjunto de datos conformado por 206 revisiones sobre la emisión del color, la visión del color, la interacción entre ambas y las aplicaciones humanas asociadas alrededor de esto. Las referencias están disponibles en una colección en línea, abierta, reusable, interoperable y etiquetada, disponible en la Web para todos. Además, se presenta el análisis de las revisiones respecto a nueve variables: año, tipo de revisión, acceso, referencias, citas, enfoques, origen del color, términos del título y taxones. También se identificaron 11 tipos de revisiones diferentes y se utilizaron seis criterios para reconocer las revisiones de literatura: 1) el título, 2) el resumen, 3) la sección, 4) las palabras clave, 5) la categoría en una base de datos, y 6) la cantidad de referencia. Las revisiones constituyen el tipo de artículo más leído y citado en la investigación porque procesan información en la literatura relevante, tanto cualitativa como cuantitativamente, para crear nuevas relaciones e interpretaciones en biociencias, e incluso, en muchos casos se utilizan enfoques innovadores que vale la pena aprovechar en la investigación en zoología
