Abstract

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common congenital anomaly in newborn babies. Malnutrition is common in children with congenital heart disease and may contribute to adverse outcomes. Malnutrition in children with CHD has been link to increased morbidity and mortality. Nutritional assessment and intervention before and after surgery is recommended to improve poor outcomes. This review aims to provide information about common CHD in children and nutrition pre- and post-operative cardiac surgery.

Abstract

Introduction: The mortality rate of COVID-19 is still high. Many prognostic factors have been studied to decrease the mortality rate. One of the many factors is vitamin D status, known for years as an immunomodulator and anti-inflammatory agent. Vitamin D deficiency could worsen the symptoms of COVID-19 and ultimately lead to mortality. However, some literature shows controversial results. Methods: Literature research was conducted by advanced searching in Pubmed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and ProQuest, using a combination of both MeSH Terms and Title/Abstract. After removing duplicates, these literature were screened according to the eligibility criteria. Appraisal and level of evidence of the final literature were determined based on Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine. Results: Two selected literature were relevant to answer our clinical question. The former is a retrospective cohort study by Radujkovic et al. (2020), while the latter is a prospective cohort study by Bennouar et al. (2020). Both show similar results that low vitamin D serum levels in severe COVID-19 patients can increase the in-hospital mortality risk. Conclusion: Vitamin D is one of the prognostic factors that can predict the mortality rate of severe COVID-19 patients. We suggest that vitamin D serum level can be measured regularly in COVID-19 patients and administered to patients with such deficiencies. Adequate vitamin D deficiency management is expected to lower the COVID-19 mortality rate.

Abstract

Background : Food insecurity is still prevalent in Indonesia and COVID-19 impacts led to severe and widespread increases in food insecurity, affecting vulnerable households with impacts expected to continue into 2022 and possibly beyond. Objective : This study aimed to determine the association between dietary diversity, social assistance, and coping strategies with food security during COVID-19 in Tulungagung, East Java. Methods : This cross-sectional study was conducted in Tulungagung District, East Java with interviewed using telephone from May to July 2021. Multistage random sampling was conducted to 187 parents (mother or father). The study used structured questionnaire for socio demographic background, Household Food Insecure Assess Scale (HFIAS), dietary diversity scale, coping strategy index instruments to collect the data. Results : This study found the prevalence of food insecurity in Tulungagung were 56.1%. There was association between income (p=0.021, OR= 2.388(1.123-5.079)), dietary diversity (p=0.007, OR=3.400(1.440-8.200)), number of coping strategies (p=<0.001, OR=10.020(5.055-9.861)), and coping strategies food compromisation (p=<0.00, OR=13.337(5.835-3.485)) with food security. Conclusions : Most households have faced food insecurity because of lower income during the pandemic, have low dietary diversity, and tend to use coping strategy to survive. By this finding, it is important for government to give priority and focus on vulnerable household in social assistance for the long term and more focused to build up human capital among households through skill and training to ensure the resilience of food security.

Abstract

Chronic pancreatitis is a complex disease associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Patients with chronic pancreatitis are at risk for malnutrition and nutrient deficiency caused primarily by malabsorption, inadequate intake, and inflammation. Poor nutritional status may negatively affect disease’s outcome. Medical nutritional therapy which include screening and assessment of malnutrition followed by optimal nutritional intervention for patient at risk should be the cornerstone of chronic pancreatitis multidisciplinary treatment.

Abstract

Stunting is a multifactorial condition where a toddler has less body length compared to their age. One of the factors is the immunization status of children, which can lead to susceptibility to infection and caused growth disturbance. This study was conducted to determine whether immunization plays a role as one of the interventions to prevent stunting in children age 1-5 years by using cross-sectional observational study with a total of 110 children aged 1-5 years who visited the Public Health Center of Jatinegara District, East Jakarta between September-November 2019. Questionnaires, anthropometric assessment using body length board and microtoice, and Z-score assessment were obtained during the study. The Chi-square test was performed for data analysis. The result of this study showed that 47,3% of respondents had incomplete immunization status, and 84.6% of child were stunted. Immunization plays a role as one of the factors preventing stunting in children age 1-5 years (p<0,001). It can be concluded that immunization is one of the factors contributing to lowered incidence of stunting in children age 1-5 years.

Abstract

Background: Considerable evidence suggests that physical inactivity contributes to the magnitude of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and is responsible for premature deaths globally. Objective: This study aimed to examine physical inactivity and associated factors among community dwelling adults in Abia State, Nigeria. Methods: A total of 868 community-dwelling adults (20 to 59 years) were sampled in a cross- sectional survey using multistage sampling technique. A validated questionnaire was used to collect information on sociodemographic and lifestyle characteristics. Weight and height were measured and used to calculate the body mass index (BMI). The Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) was used to collect data on physical activity status. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to assess the relationship between physical inactivity and associated factors at p<0.05. Results: The prevalence of physical inactivity was 49.8% (48.5% in males and 51.0% in females), while combined overweight and obesity was 39.4%. In the adjusted model, physical inactivity was associated with older age (OR=0.49, 95% CI: 0.34- 0.71), increasing BMI (OR=0.67, 95% CI: 0.49- 0.91), increasing income (OR=0.65, 95% CI: 0.48- 0.89), and alcohol consumption (OR=0.67, 95% CI: 0.47- 0.97). Conclusion: The high prevalence of physical inactivity among adults underscores the need for community-based physical activity interventions to reduce the burden of NCDs among adults.

Abstract

Vitamin D has been attracting a lot of attention from researchers, pharmaceutical industries and public mainly because of its potential extra-skeletal effects in health and in various diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cancer and autoimmune diseases. Historically, vitamin D was associated with diseases such as rickets in children and osteoporosis is adults. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, vitamin D gained a special focus related to its immune modulating ability

Abstract

Obesity is an epidemic that is about to overwhelm the economic and health care structures of society. Obesity is a complex medical condition that has roots in genetic, environmental and social exposures that should not be attributed lack of willpower any more than other diseases. A supportive clinical setting for patients with obesity optimally includes comfortable, accessible waiting and examination areas with weight-sensitive reading materials; specialized medical equipment, specially designed tables and surgical equipment; and sensitive weighing procedures, including a private weighing area. Patients with obesity should be treated similarly to other patient populations that require additional care or have increased risks of adverse medical outcomes.

Abstract

The “developmental origins of health and disease” (DOHaD) is a concept that has proven the link between the state of maternal health and risk from disease in later childhood and adult life with the environmental conditions of the early life. Hence, the first 1000 days is reported as a critical period of opportunity for interventions to prevent stunting and other associated pathologies at later life.
