Abstract

Background Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited genetic disorder with high mortality and morbidity. CF is strongly correlated with malnutrition due to higher energy losses, pancreatic insufficiency, chronic inflammation, higher resting energy expenditure, and feeding problems. Malnutrition in CF patients associated with worse survival. Thus, appropriate and prompt nutritional intervention should be addressed to reduced malnutrition in CF patients. Methods The literature search was performed on 9 August 2021 in four major databases such as MEDLINE, EBSCOhost, Cochrane Reviews, and Web of Sciences to find the role of nutrition and pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy in pediatrics population with cystic fibrosis. Recent findings In recent decades, early nutritional management and pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) have been shown to improve CF patient’s outcomes. Nutrition should be given in higher calories compared to healthy individuals with close and regular nutritional status monitoring. High protein and fat diets are essential for CF patient’s overall survival. Adequate level of micronutrients should be ensured to avoid morbidity caused by micronutrients deficiency. Regular pancreatic insufficiency screening should be done annually in order to start PERT early. Further research focusing on body composition, growth chart, protein intake, and PERT are needed to further improve the management of CF patient. Conclusion Nutritional intervention and PERT play an important role in prolonging CF patient survival. Both treatments should be initiated early with nutritional status close monitoring and tailored to each individual. Collaboration with parents and children is critical to warrant that CF patients followed the dietary advice.

Abstract

Introduction. Achievement of energy target in critically ill Covid-19 patients in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is challenging. This study was aimed to depict the possibility of achieving energy target and its determinants in critically ill Covid-19 patients. Methods. A cross sectional study was conducted in ICU of dr. Kariadi Hospital Semarang, Indonesia. Secondary data were obtained from Covid-19 patients who were in ICU for minimum 3 days, from March to December 2020. Data collected included age, sex, Body Mass Index (BMI), comorbidities, Modified Nutrition Risk in Critically Ill (mNUTRIC) score, energy intake, route of nutrition delivery (enteral or combination of enteral and parenteral nutrition), lactate status, ICU length of stay (LOS), duration of mechanical ventilator and mortality. Risk Prevalence calculations were conducted to measure risks. Variables with significant associations and p< 0.25 were included in multiple logistic regression. Results. A total of 188 subjects were included in the analysis. Most patients were male (62.8%) and obese (61.8%). As much as 56.9% patients were able to achieve energy target of 20 kcal/kgBW on day 3 of ICU stay. Those with low risk mNUTRIC score and nutrition delivery was through enteral and parenteral route were more likely to achieve target energy of 20 kcal/kgBW in the first 3 days in the ICU. Conclusions. Achieving energy target of 20 kcal on day 3 of ICU stay for critically ill Covid-19 patients is feasible. Low mNutric score and nutrition delivery through enteral and parenteral route were two determinants for the achievement.

Abstract

Background The microbiome-gut-brain-axis (GBA) concept has long been appreciated. It is recognized that the microbes resident in the gastrointestinal tract can influence brain physiology and the social-development competencies, and vice versa. Therefore, it is crucial for health care practitioners (HCPs) to understand this concept, especially in children; however, no study has been reported. Methods: This study used qualitative methods to explore HCPs’ perception and awareness about the microbiome-GBA concept. Data were collected through in-depth interviews using online video calls with HCPs, including general practitioners, pediatricians, and midwives. Results: We found that responders are aware of the microbiome-GBA concept, as this issue is often discussed in seminars and other events. They realized that gut health is a significant concern, and it is significantly impacting brain health and leads to social and emotional development (SED). This process starts from the early stages of life. Conclusion: The HCPs in our study have a good perception of the microbiome-GBA concept, e.g., a healthy brain is not possible without a healthy gut. As far as we are concerned, this is the first study to investigate the knowledge of HCPs about bidirectional communication of microbiome-GBA as an essential factor in child management.

Abstract

Introduction. The gut microbiota plays an important role in the normal functioning of the host organism. The microbiota of healthy newborn affected by many factors such as prenatal exposures, maternal nutrition, mode of delivery, type of feeding, introduction to solid food and its type, geography, and antibiotics consumption; and its composition continues to mature until reaching 3 years of age. Normal gut microbiota is essential in gut health, and play an important role in our homeostasis. Therefore, gut microbiota is considered a crucial factor for proper early life development and lifelong health. Prebiotics, along with probiotics, may alter gut microbiota composition thus play a role in the prevention of various diseases associated with dysbiosis condition. Methods. Advanced search for relevant literatures in PubMed, Cochrane, and Willey was conducted. After assessing the relevancy and eligibility, articles were selected and critically appraised. Conclusions. Accumulating evidence from different studies has shown that the occurrence of a disease is often preceded by early alterations of the microbiota. Many studies established correlation between gut microbiota dysbiosis with diseases pathogenesis i.e obesity and other metabolic syndrome, asthma and allergies, also stress-related disorder. Prebiotic supplementation has proven to be effective in obesity, asthma and allergies management, also beneficial for immune system.

Abstract

Introduction. The first 1000 days of life is the most crucial period for physical and neuro-emotional development. Since prenatal, the organ development had started and affected by many factors. Healthy neurodevelopment is dependent on socioeconomic, interpersonal and/or family, and nutritional factors. Macro- and micro-nutrients deficiencies may disrupt neurodevelopmental process. Iron, zinc, and iodium has been proven to affect brain development intrauterine and continues after birth. Prebiotics also play a role in neurodevelopmental through brain-gut-axis, but also beneficial on overall health. Methods. Advanced search for relevant literatures in PubMed, Cochrane, and Willey was conducted. After assessing the relevancy and eligibility, articles were selected and critically appraised. Conclusions. Prebiotics supplementation is beneficial in promoting gut health, thus also play a role in immune pathway and influence brain function. Many studies also shown that prebiotics might be used as additional therapy in diseases that related to gut health i.e functional gastrointestinal disorders, obesity, and allergy.

Abstract

The Physical, metabolic, emotional, cognitive, and social development all begin to develop during early years of childhood.. Social and emotional competencies are increasingly recognized as critical for children's success, in school and in later phases of life into adulthood. According to new research, changes in the gastrointestinal tract's development during the early postnatal period can affect brain development and vice versa., collectively called the gut-brain axis. The gut microbiota has an impact on a variety of mental processes and phenomena, as well as being involved in the pathophysiology of a variety of mental and neurological diseases.. Insights in this area can be targeted through dietary treatments to improve cognitive outcomes in newborns by optimizing the link between the gastrointestinal system and the brain. Further, having a healthy and happy human life could be ensured by acquiring adequate and balance microbiota

Abstract

Background: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is one of the major health problems worldwide. Smoking is the main risk factor of the COPD development. Not only COPD has clinical manifestations in the lungs, it also manifest outside lungs called systemic effects.One of systemic effects found in COPD patients is weight loss leading to declining lung function. This study aims to determine the relation of Brinkman Index and Body Mass Index (BMI) with spirometry result of COPD outpatients in RSUDZA. Methods: The study was held in lung outpatients department in RSUDZA Banda Aceh on December 5th until 28th with cross sectional design The sampling method is nonprobability sampling with accidental sampling technique. Respondents consisted of 30 patients who had agreed to informed consent given. Medical record used to obtain Brinkman index, BMI, and spirometry result of the patients. Results: The results of analysis shows majority of respondents are male (83,3%), dominated by 56-65 years age range (40,0%) and had moderate Brinkman Index (46,7%). The majority of respondents (53,3%) had an abnormal BMI (severe underweight (13,3%), underweight (6,7%), overweight (23,3%), and obese (10,0%)) and severe spirometry result (53,3%). The data was analyzed by the Spearman Correlation. With the Spearman Correlation, there was no association between Brinkman Index and spirometry result with p value 0,412 (p value >0,05). Meanwhile, there was an association between the BMI and spirometry result with p value 0,006 (p < 0,05). The strength of the correlation is moderate (rs =-0,488). Conclusion: The lower the BMI, the more severe the spirometry result.
