Abstract

Background Iron and zinc administration for children withmalaria in endemic area were known to decrease parasitemia butdata on their effectiveness when given together to increasereticulocytes as erythropoiesis parameter and hemoglobin isinsufficient.Objective To determine the effect of zinc to increase ironabsorption in the treatment of Plasmodium falciparum malaria inchildren.Methods Children with positive Plasmodium falciparum on theirblood smear (n=86) examination were randomly assigned to dailysupplementation of iron 6 mg per kg body weight per day plusplacebo or iron plus zinc 10 mg per day for 30 days. Venous bloodspecimens were collected at the start and at the end of the study.Results Sixty-nine children completed the supplementations andhad both baseline and follow-up blood specimen study. After 30-day supplementation, the iron plus placebo and iron plus zincgroups showed significant difference on hemoglobin concentration(0.58 and 0.09 g/dl; P<0.05). There was no significant differencein reticulocyte production index and reticulocyte count beforeand after intervention in both groups. There was only significantdifference in red blood cells concentration after supplementationof iron plus placebo and iron plus zinc (4.7 in 4.5 million/μl;P<0.05).Conclusions Iron supplementation with or without zinc showssignificant increase of hemoglobin concentration. It is slightlyhigher in iron plus placebo group.

Abstract

Background The compliance of iron deficiency anemia treatmentthat is administered three times daily in children is low. Thecompliance will be better if therapy is administered once daily.Objective To compare the iron therapy response of once per dayvs. three times a day administration in 9-12 year old children withiron deficiency anemia.Methods Children with iron deficiency anemia were randomlyallocated into a ferrous sulfate once-daily group or a ferrous sulfatethree times-daily group with the same dose of 5 mg/kg /day ofelemental iron for 30 days. Iron deficiency anemia was definedas Hb < 12 g/dL (World Health Organization criteria), MCV< 70 fl, RDW > 16 %, Mentzer index > 13 and RDW index >220. Iron treatment response was characterized by the increase inHb level 30 days after treatment. Peripheral blood samples werecollected at the start and end of the study.Results Ninety seven children were enrolled. There weresignificant increases in Hb levels in both groups after 30 days ofiron therapy, but there was no significant difference in Hb levelbetween the two groups (P=0.55).Conclusion The administration of a once daily dose of ferroussulfate did not show a significant difference in the increase ofHblevels compared to a three times daily dose.

Abstract

Background Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) remains a commonnutritional problem, especially in school-age children. Due tothe many examinations that are needed to be performed and the invasive gold standard procedure, an easy and simple alternative examination to diagnose IDA is needed.Objective To determine the impact of iron therapy on Mentzerand red cell distribution width (RDW) indexes of children withIDA.Methods A randomized open clinical trial was conducted inprimary school aged children in North Aek Nabara, betweenNovember 2006 and November 2007. IDA was determined basedon WHO criteria. Subjects with severe anemia were excluded.Subjects were randomly assigned to groups that received eitheriron therapy or a placebo.Results Three-hundred subjects from aged 9 to 12 years oldwere recruited and 104 subjects completed the study. The meanRDW index of the iron and placebo groups after three monthsobservation were 239.96 (SD 39.25) and 235.17 (SD 31.77),respectively. The mean Mentzer index mean for the iron therapyand placebo groups after three months observation were 16.08(SD 1.98) and 16.20 (SD 2.27), respectively.Conclusion After therapy, there are no significant differences ineither the Mentzer or RDW indexes between the therapy andplacebo groups.

Abstract

Background Iron supplementation in children with iron deficiencyanemia could decrease the incidence of stunting.Objective To study the effect of iron therapy on growth velocityin children with iron deficiency anemia.Methods A randomized clinical trial study was conducted atLabuhan Batu on November 2006 to May 2007. Iron deficiencyanemia was diagnosed if there were anemia, with mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration <31 %, red cell distribution width index > 220, and Mentzer index> 13. Elementary school children (6-12 year old) with iron deficiency anemia were randomly assigned either to iron therapy group (children were given 6 mg iron/kg/day) or to placebo group for 3 months.Results Among 300 children recruited, there were 125 children,who suffered from iron deficiency anemia. After one month ofiron therapy, means of hemoglobin concentration were 12.4 g/dl in iron group and 11.7 g/dl in placebo group. There was a significant increase of height in iron group (129.9 (SD 7.58) em vs. 132.2 (SD 7.23) em) and in placebo (130.8 (SD 8.78) em vs. 128.7 (SD 8. 79) em), However, no significant difference was found in the mean of growth velocity between placebo and iron groups (2.1 (SD 0.01) em vs. 2.0 (SD 0.9) em.Conclusion There is a significant increase in height, but nosignificant difference between both groups in growth velocity.

Abstract

Introduction Little is known about the potential interaction of ironand zinc given to increase hemoglobin and serum ferritin in chil-dren with malaria.Objective To study the effect of iron compared with a combination ofiron and zinc supplementation on children with falciparum malaria.Method Children with positive Plasmodium falciparum (n=86) wererandomly assigned to a daily supplementation of 6 mg iron/kg perday plus placebo or plus 10 mg zinc per day for 30 days. All childrenwere treated with the same regimen for the treatment of P. falciparum.Venous blood samples were collected at the start and end of thestudy. After 30 days of supplementation, the baseline and follow-upblood samples were analyzed.Results The increase of hemoglobin concentration in the ironplus placebo group was 0.58 g/dl, while in the iron plus zinc groupwas 0.09 g/dl (P<0.05). Serum ferritin concentration was high inboth groups before trial, yet there was no significant differenceafter iron supplementation.Conclusions Iron supplementation showed significant increasein hemoglobin concentration in children with positive P. falciparumtreated with the same regimen of treatment. Supplementation ofiron alone as well as iron plus zinc had been proven ineffective toiincrease serum ferritin in children with malaria.

Abstract

Background The prevalence of hypertension in children and adolescents has increased with the rising obesity epidemic. Recent studies have found that prevalence of hypertension was higher in obese children or adolescents than in the normal weight ones. Anthropometric measurements such as body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and skinfold thickness have been used as criteria to determine obesity in children and adolescents. Increased waist circumference has been most closely related to increased blood pressure. Objective To compare waist circumference, BMI, and skinfold thickness as potential risk factors for hypertension in adolescents. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted in May 2014 in three senior high schools in Medan, North Sumatera, and included 253 students with normal urinalysis test. All subjects underwent blood pressure, waist circumference, tricep- and subscapular-skinfold thickness (TST and SST), body weight, and body height measurements. The study population was categorized into underweight, normoweight, overweight, and obese, according to four different criteria: waist circumference, BMI, TST, and SST; all variables were analyzed for possible correlations with systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Results There were significant positive correlations between systolic blood pressure and waist circumference (OR 7.933; 95%CI 2.20 to 28.65; P=0.011) as well as BMI (OR 4.137; 95%CI 1.16 to 14.75; P=0.041). There were also significant correlations between diastolic blood pressure and waist circumference (OR 3.17; 95%CI 1.83 to 5.51; P=0.002), BMI (P=0.0001; OR=3.69), TST (OR 4.73; 95%CI 2.31 to 9.69; P=0.0001), and SST (OR 3.74; 95%CI 2.35 to 5.94; P=0.0001). Multivariate analysis showed that waist circumference was a predictive factor for systolic blood pressure (OR 9.667), but not for diastolic blood pressure. Conclusion Waist circumference is the strongest, significant, predictive factor for elevated systolic blood pressure; meanwhile BMI, SST, and TST could be predictive factors for elevated diastolic blood pressure.

Abstract

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a raretumor which originates from thenasopharyngeal epithelium. It accountsfor <1% of childhood malignancy cases,whereas almost all adult nasopharyngeal cancers arecarcinomas. In children, nasopharyngealmalignancies are mostly rhabdomyosarcomas andonly 20-30% are carcinomas or lymphomas.Approximately one third of the undifferentiated typeNPC is diagnosed in adolescents or young adults.
