Abstract

Immune cells in the central nervous system (CNS) of the fetus are essential for normal neurodevelopment. Innate immunity-related molecules, including cytokines, toll-like receptors and complement family, are known to be expressed in the brain. Microglia, macrophage-like immune cells that reside in the brain and spinal cord, constitute 80% of all immune cells in the brain, making them the most abundant immune cell type. Acquired immunity-related molecules, such as major histocompatibility complex and antibody receptor, are also known to be expressed in the brain. In addition to this, research has demonstrated that they play important functions in the development of the brain. Neurodevelopmental diseases, including schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorders, autism-like obsessive-compulsive behaviours and social impairment, are characterized by a disruption of a wide variety of processes in the developing brain that depend on the normal function of microglia. Enteric infections and malnutrition in the first two years of life are linked to later cognitive impairment. Multiple studies have shown that bacterial and viral illnesses have direct or indirect impacts on cognitive performance in children. The immune system is in constant communication with the central nervous system and participates in the control of behaviour and a range of other essential neurological activities throughout the lifespan.

Abstract

The concept of the gut (microbiota)-brain axis, which influences the development and function of the gastrointestinal, immune, neuroendocrine, and metabolic systems, is gaining popularity. Recent animal studies have demonstrated that the gut (microbiota)-brain axis also plays a role in establishing cognitive function. It is known that a disruption in the environment's microbiota balance can increase disease susceptibility in children. Historically, it has been hypothesized that neurodevelopmental disorders are the results of a disruption in children’s health. However, it is becoming clear that the gut microbiota and the central nervous system communicate in both directions, which could explain how microbiota affects cognitive function. Dietary factors also play important role in the central nervous system via the gut (microbiota)-brain axis, demonstrating the importance of nutrition in optimizing cognitive function. This narrative review of recently published studies and current knowledge aims to elucidate the relationship between the gut (microbiota)-brain axis and cognitive function, as well as the variables that may influence it.

Abstract

The identification of child development milestones, specifically cognitive abilities, requires parental/caregiver awareness and knowledge. With the existence of multiple cognitive abilities such as attention and focus, memory, language, psychomotor skills, logic, reasoning, decision-making, problem-solving, social/emotional, there are multiple indicators to measure children's cognitive abilities. Pediatricians are the most knowledgeable and trusted authority to routinely screen and monitor the development of healthy children. Therefore, it is crucial that parents understand their children's developmental milestones so if they encounter anomalies, they can immediately consult with the professionals. This review compiles recently published research and current knowledge to examine potential key indicators of cognitive development in infants and children that can be utilized by parents and communities in an easily understood manner.

Abstract

High output stoma is a complication that may follow ileostomy formation, with an incidence of 23%. There is no general consensus on the limit of ileostomy production to be defined as high output. However, output of more than 2000 mL/day, can cause fluid and electrolyte imbalance, also malnutrition due to reduced nutrient absorption. Delay in recognition and treatment, especially in cancer patient with high risk of malnutrition, can further deteriorate patient’s nutritional status. A 43-year-old malnourished female with ascending colon cancer underwent tumor resection and ileocolostomy surgery. Starting from the third postoperative day, ileostomy effluent drastically increased to 2700 mL/day, causing severe hyponatremia, hypokalemia, and hypomagnesemia. Risk factors of high output stoma identified were routine prokinetic medication use and unresolved malignancy-related retroperitoneal abscess. Moreover, increment of food intake in the first days after surgery, specifically food high in insoluble fiber, was one of the contributing factors. High output stoma was then resolved by abscess drainage, discontinuation of prokinetic agent, and administration of antimotility agent. Hyponatremia and hypomagnesemia improved with correction, whereas hypokalemia needed longer time to resolve. Enteral nutrition was maintained and increased gradually to prevent further malnutrition. Oral hypotonic fluid intake was limited to 1000 mL/day and isotonic solution consumption was advised. High stoma production due to hypersecretory phase after ileostomy was expected, but thorough management would prevent patient’s deterioration that was caused by the fluid, electrolyte, and nutritional imbalances.

Abstract

Introduction: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Heart failure (HF) accounts for 13.4% of deaths and reduces the quality of life of patients. Iron- deficiency is a common condition found in heart failure patients, often occurs due to decrease in iron intake, absorption, and chronic inflammation. Oral iron supplementation is a low-cost and easy alternative for iron-deficiency management in heart failure patients. Method: Literature search was conducted using advanced searching in three large databases: PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar. MeSH terms, advanced search and eligibility criteria were used for title and abstract screening after removing duplicates. Critical assessment tools and levels of evidence of the final articles are based on the Oxford Center for Evidence-Based Medicine. Results: Two systematic reviews and meta-analyses and two RCTs met the PICO and eligibility criteria that had been set. Two systematic reviews and meta-analyses found that oral iron supplementation did not improve the functional capacity of heart failure patients, while the two RCTs found an improvement in functional capacity in heart failure patients who received oral iron supplementation. Conclusion: Based on critical reviews that have been carried out, currently we do not recommend oral iron supplementation in heart failure patients. Further research may potentially provide different recommendations as oral iron therapy evolves.

Abstract

Background: Obesity is a global health problem with a continuing trend of increasing population. A positive energy balance, where energy intake is more remarkable than energy expenditure, will cause fat accumulation. Obesity due to the expansion of fat, especially visceral fat, is a risk factor for noncommunicable diseases. Office employees can become obese with a high-calorie diet and a sedentary lifestyle. This study aims to determine the correlation between energy intake and physical activity with visceral fat in obese office workers. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on obese office staff at RSCM. Energy intake was assessed with 3 x 24-h food recalls. Physical activity was assessed with the GPAQ questionnaire, and visceral fat was considered with multifrequency BIA. Results: A total of 66 study subjects with an average age of 41 years were women and included in the category of obesity degree I. Almost all subjects had abnormal visceral fat volume with a median of 2.95 L (1.3 – 8.5 L). Most have more energy intake, with an average intake of 2196 ± 467 kcal. Most had moderate physical activity with a median value of 1850 MET (120 – 4680 MET). There was a moderate correlation between energy intake and visceral fat (r=0.554, p<0.001) and a weak correlation between physical activity and visceral fat (r=-324, P=0.008). Conclusion: There was a moderate correlation between energy intake and visceral fat and a weak correlation between physical activity and visceral fat.

Abstract

Dysphagia due to involvement of the oral, pharyngolaryngeal, and esophageal mucosa and increased catabolism due to epidermal shedding can contribute to a decline in nutritional status in pemphigus vulgaris (PV) patients. On the other hand, decreased lean body mass is associated with immune system impairment, increased risk of infection, and delayed wound healing in PV patients, therefore, nutritional screening and assessment are necessary. Medical nutritional therapy in PV patients aims to overcome the metabolic response to the insults, prevent further malnutrition, modulate the immune system, and accelerate wound healing process. An aggressive nutritional support to minimize protein loss during the phase of mucocutaneous lesion healing is needed in patients with PV. Aside from macronutrient adequacy, micronutrients including vitamin A supplementation can be considered to accelerate wound healing process. Medical nutritional therapy including provision of adequate macronutrients, micronutrients, addressing dehydration and electrolyte imbalances should be the cornerstone of multidisciplinary treatment in PV patients.

Abstract

Background: Women's market traders are jobs that are often exposed to free radicals, including air pollution, cigarette smoke, sun exposure and have a high workload that causes stress. Antioxidants can protect the skin from free radicals and can inhibit the process of premature aging of facial skin which are found in vegetables and fruits such as vitamins A, C, E. Objective: To determine the relationship between intake of vitamins A, C, and E with premature aging of market traders in the form of wrinkles around the face. Methods: Observational research with cross sectional method. The sampling technique is multi-stage cluster sampling. This research was conducted at Beringharjo Market with a total sample of 172 respondents with inclusion criteria namely female traders, aged 26–45 years, workers in the market area. The exclusion criteria are tourists/market visitors, women who are pregnant and breastfeeding. The research variables for intake of vitamins A, C, and E used the SQ-FFQ (Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire) questionnaire with the interview method. In measuring the number of wrinkles on facial skin using photoaging through facial shooting using a Sony A7R3 camera with a 24-70 lens that is analyzed by a dermatologist (skin expert). Data analysis technique using multiple logistic regression analysis. This analysis uses SPSS software version 22.0. Results: In the multiple logistic regression test, p = 0.037 (p <0.05) means that there is a relationship between vitamin A intake and premature aging of facial skin. On vitamin C intake, p = 0.436 (p> 0.05), meaning that there is no relationship between vitamin C intake and premature aging of facial skin. And on vitamin E intake, p = 0.171 (p> 0.05) there is no relationship between vitamin E intake and premature aging of facial skin. Conclusion: Intake of vitamin A has a significant relationship with the occurrence of premature aging of the face, but vitamins C and E do not have a significant relationship with the occurrence of premature aging of the facial skin

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease and still major public health threat globally, also one of the leading causes of death worldwide. One of the characteristics found in pulmonary TB patient is lung cavity on their chest radiograph. This is related to many aspects, including slower conversion of sputum cultures, treatment failure and relapse, drug resistance, higher bacillary load, even higher infection transmission rates. Some studies before had found that the lung cavity is affected by many factors, such as elder age, sex, diabetes mellitus, and malnutrition. Meanwhile, malnutrition itself in pulmonary TB patients is found to be related to each other, this article review how malnutrition affects the formation of lung cavity in pulmonary TB patients. Objective: To observe the relationship between malnutrition and lung cavity formation in pulmonary tuberculosis patients. Method: In this paper, we provide a literature review. The method to achieve the objective consists of using literature exploration, which was conducted from October 2022-February 2023 by searching the relevant studies from several databases. Results: Cavity formation in pulmonary TB patients is a complex mechanism from many factors contributing, including the immune system of the host. Studies show that malnutrition in pulmonary TB patients plays important role linked to lung cavity formation since malnutrition affects both innate and cellular immune response in host. Conclusion: Malnutrition is more predominating in pulmonary TB patients and is related to incidence of lung cavity in pulmonary TB patients, therefore plays role in the severity of the disease in pulmonary TB.
