Abstract

Background: Epileptogenesis is also associated with increased production of excessive pro-inflammatory cytokines” which shows connection between pro-inflammatory cytokines as triggering factor with omega-3 which has anti-inflammatory effect. Omega-3, known for its neuroprotective and anticonvulsant properties, exhibits promising effects on epileptic seizure attacks. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of omega-3 supplementation on the incidence of seizures in epilepsy patients. Methods: This study used a literature search using advanced queries in the databases PubMed, Scopus, ProQuest, and Cochrane Library, and combined MeSH terms with Title/Abstract. The collected literature is discarded if there are duplicates, then literature is filtered that meets the eligibility criteria. We used the Oxford Center for Evidence-Based Medicine as a means of critical appraisal and determining the level of evidence of the selected literature. Results: Four chosen literatures were critically assessed. Two articles indicating no significant difference between omega-3 and placebo and two articles showed had a significantly higher number of seizure-free days than placebo. The first article, involving 78 adults, reported a 50% reduction in seizure risk with a frequency RR of 0.57, 95% CI 0.19 to 1.75 (IS = 0%) indicating no significant difference between omega-3 and placebo groups after 12 weeks of treatment. The second study, comprising mostly non-significant findings, demonstrated no significant correlation between omega-3 and epilepsy attacks in epilepsy patients. The third literature revealed seizure occurrences per month in the EPA group (9.7±1.2), DHA group (11.7±1.5), and placebo group (16.6±1.5). Incidence rate ratio (IRR) adjusted for seizure type in EPA and DHA groups compared to the placebo group were 0.61 (CI = 0.42–0.88, p = 0.008, a 42% reduction) and 0.67 (CI = 0.46–1.0, p = 0.04, a 39% reduction), respectively. Both treatment groups had a significantly higher number of seizure-free days compared to the placebo group (p < 0.05). The fourth study reported intervention group frequency (4.72 ± 1.6, p= 0.014) and placebo frequency (11.64 ± 1.63, p=0.014) with intervention group seizure duration (6.64 ± 1.39, p=0.009) compared to placebo group (14.36 ± 2.18, p=0.009). Conclusion: Omega-3 supplementation may be considered for management in patients with recurrent epileptic seizures, although its effect on reducing seizure frequency remains inconsistent.

Abstract

Background: Many low- and middle-income countries are now facing the “double burden” of malnutrition, one of them is overweight/obesity. Over 340 million children and adolescents were overweight and obesity in 2016. Obesity among adolescents may increase, in part due to changes in the food system, which now offers a wide range of ultra-processed foods (UPF) that minimize preparation time. Indonesia has also a large and rapidly growing market for unhealthy drinks, which are sold in various places including schools and hospitals. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the association of UPF and beverages consumption and other related factors with nutritional status of senior high school students in Pontianak, West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Methods: This cross-sectional study conducted in Pontianak investigated the association between UPF consumption and nutritional status of SHS students. Data collection was conducted at Imanuel and Petrus SHS Pontianak in June 2023, involving 273 students from grades 10th and 11th. Weight and height measurement was obtained for calculating the BMI for age Z-scores, while UPF and beverages consumption was obtained by FFQ. Structured questionnaire, 24-hours recall, and IPAQ-S were used for assessing sociodemographic status, Total Energy Intake and Physical Activity Level. Data analysis used SPSS version 26. Results: The result found 40.3% of students were overweight-obesity; 51.6% consumed excessive UPF and beverages. It showed an inverse association between UPF consumption and nutritional status. The study identifies UPF and beverages consumption, gender, mother's education level, and family income as factors associated with nutritional status among adolescents. Conclusion: The consumption of ultra-processed Foods was high, with the highest UPF intake came from snacks and sweets (22.4%). There was inverse association between UPF and beverages consumption with nutritional status. There was also significant association between UPF and beverages, gender, mother education level and family income with nutritional status.

Abstract

The landmark Vienna Declaration (VD), initiated by the international human rights working group (IHRWG) and endorsed by more than 75 professional societies acknowledged that nutritional care is a human right alongside the right to food and the right to health. In a series of position papers the IHRWG have elaborated on the commitments required for translating human rights and ethical principles into clinical practice.1-3 The ultimate objective of the VD is to ensure all patients have a right to be screened and diagnosed for disease related malnutrition (DRM) then to receive evidence based artificially administered nutrition and hydration (AANH) administered by an interdisciplinary team of experts to positively impact clinical outcomes and survival. Unfortunately, nutritional care in hospitals and post discharge is frequently below standard and is not part of the patient's holistic care.2 Reasons include; inadequate education of healthcare professionals (HCPs), lack of malnutrition awareness, no reimbursement for nutrition treatments, or absence of public health policy.2,4

Abstract

Background: Obesity is a severe global public health problem linked to chronic noncommunicable disease and increased mortality. It has harmful effects on metabolic disorders via the insulin resistance pathway. Available guidelines recommend caloric reduction via intermittent fasting for obesity management. However, the available literature is less focused on the benefits of intermittent fasting on improved insulin resistance in healthy obese adults, especially related to an accumulation of free fatty acids. Therefore, a scoping review is necessary. Objective: This review aims to collect evidence on the benefits of intermittent fasting on improved insulin resistance in healthy obese adults. Methods: This scoping review followed the 5-step Arksey and O'Malley framework and was submitted following PRISMA ScR. Five electronic databases were thoroughly searched. Papers are included if they are eligible. The result was a synthesis of descriptive and narrative elements. Results: 1117 papers were collected in total. Nine randomized controlled trial studies met the review's inclusion criteria. The papers included are sourced from reputable, relevant sources. As a whole, intermittent fasting appears to benefit improved insulin resistance in healthy obese adults. Intermittent fasting has been shown to reduce insulin levels while increasing insulin sensitivity, therefore improving insulin resistance. Conclusion: Evidence suggests that intermittent fasting can help improve insulin resistance in healthy obese adults.

Abstract

Background: More than 17 million deaths worldwide are caused by cardiovascular disease due to high blood pressure. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 1.3 billion adults will have high blood pressure in 2021. Obesity is a significant factor influencing blood pressure. Waist circumference measurements and body mass index (BMI) can be used to identify obesity issues. Objective: The aim was to analyze the correlation between BMI, waist circumference, and blood pressure among adults at Primary Health Care in Kudus, Central Java, Indonesia. Methods: This cross-sectional study evaluated BMI, waist circumference, blood pressure, and questionnaire. Men and women aged 18-59 (healthcare staff, patient caregivers, and patients) who agreed to become study subjects were included. Participants with a history of diseases, current conditions, medication intake that affects blood pressure, and pregnancy were excluded. Samples were taken using purposive sampling and the Pearson test as a statistical analysis. Results: The analysis showed a significant correlation between the BMI of patients with systolic blood pressure (p=0.000) and diastolic blood pressure (p=0.000). A moderate relationship was found between BMI and systolic blood pressure(r=0.473) and diastolic blood pressure (r=0.439). Moreover, waist circumference was significantly correlated with systolic blood pressure (p=0.000) and diastolic blood pressure (p=0.000). Conclusion: A significant correlation exists between BMI and waist circumference with blood pressure among adults at the Primary Health Care in Kudus, Central Java, Indonesia.

Abstract

Background: Franchised fast foods are known for their unique tastes as it contains a number of spices that makes it delicious. Daily busy schedules have made consumption of franchised fast foods (FFFs) an easy option and control of our food choices even at home. Objective: This research investigated the lipid profile and anthropometric indices of consumers of franchised fast foods (FFFs) in South-Western States in Nigeria. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study in South-West Nigeria and comprised three states: Lagos, Oyo, and Ogun. 300 respondents were recruited from ten (10) purposively selected fast-food outlets in Ikeja, Abeokuta and Ibadan cities, Nigeria. Standardized method for assessing plasma lipid profile was used. A well-structured and pretested questionnaire was used for the survey. The statistical analysis was done using 95% confidence interval and an error percentage of 5%. Results: The major consumers of FFFs are single, younger adults, educated, and relatively high-income earners. Majority of male (39% and 23%) and females (33% and 41%) have excellent and good health status respectively. Significant association was observed between BMI and HDL-C (p=0.009) of male, and Significant differences existed among the BMI and all lipid profiles of female respondents (p<0.050). Conclusion: The study conclude that both genders are at risk of age-related NCDs in the future due to inadequate physical activity and dependence on FFFs. The consumption of FFFs is common among young people, high-income earners and educated people.

Abstract

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by progressive and persistent airflow obstruction together with an increased chronic inflammatory response, primarily caused by environmental exposure and smoking habit. Vitamin D deficiency is associated with increased rates of exacerbation and hospitalization in COPD patients. Recent studies have indicated a direct correlation between vitamin D deficiency and the severity of COPD, suggesting that acute exacerbation could be prevented with vitamin D supplementation. Some studies propose that correcting the serum vitamin D level may improve the prognosis for COPD patients experiencing respiratory tract infections. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of vitamin D supplementation for lung function in COPD patient. Methods: Literature search was carried out by advanced searching on Pubmed, Cochrane Library, and Scopus using a combination of MeSH Terms and Title/Abstract. Following screening for duplications, the literature obtained then screened according to predetermined eligibility criteria. The appropriate literatures were critically reviewed and the level of evidence in accordance with the Oxford Center for Evidence Based Medicine. Results: One meta-analysis and three randomized controlled trial (RCT) met the PICO and eligibility criteria that had been set. Three studies concluded that vitamin D supplementation enhanced lung function in COPD patient. Vitamin D deficiency is common in COPD patients, so it is recommended to check vitamin D levels before vitamin D supplementation. Conclusion: Vitamin D administration can improve lung function and prevent acute exacerbation in COPD patients.

Abstract

Background: Muscles are crucial in creating movement, stabilising body posture, and regulating body temperature. Muscle strength can be assessed using handgrip strength. Handgrip strength can predict muscle function, nutritional status, diabetes risk, and the risk of metabolic syndrome. Handgrip strength can be influenced by muscle mass, nutritional intake, fat mass, physical activity level, and metabolic syndrome. Objective: This research is to find relationship between handgrip strength and nutritional intake, muscle mass, and central obesity. Methods: The research was conducted as a cross-sectional study using observational analytical methods. The sample consisted of 53 individuals selected through purposive sampling. Handgrip strength can be measured using a hand dynamometer, nutritional intake using a 2x24 hour food recall, muscle mass using a body composition analyzer, central obesity using waist to hip ratio, and fasting blood sugar using a glucometer. Statistical data analysis employed the chi-square test and independent T-test. Results: The results indicated a relationship between central obesity and handgrip strength (p = 0.006). Researchers are interested in studying muscle strength and its predictors concerning central obesity, prediabetes, and nutritional status in medical students. The results indicated a relationship between handgrip strength and central obesity (p = 0.006), but no relationship was found between handgrip strength and energy intake (p = 0.235), protein intake (p = 0.524), and prediabetes (p = 0.272). Conclusion: There is a relationship between central obesity and handgrip strength. Future researchers are encouraged to consider additional factors, including physical activity, muscle mass index, and comorbidities.

Abstract

Introduction: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic skin disease characterized by abnormal skin barrier function and heightened immunologic sensitization. Its incidence has surged recently, with approximately 60% of cases diagnosed within the first year of life. AD can persist or recur, significantly deteriorating the quality of life due to persistent itching and sleep disturbances. Individuals with AD are at increased risk of developing other atopic disorders like asthma and allergic rhinitis. Various dietary approaches, including low carbohydrate, calorie, and fat diets, have been associated with enhanced quality of life by regulating immune responses. Probiotics have been used as adjuvant therapy in allergic conditions, though their effectiveness varies due to the complex nature of allergies. Method: A literature search was conducted using PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar. MeSH terms, advanced search strategies, and predefined eligibility criteria were employed to identify relevant studies. Duplicate studies were excluded, and critical assessment tools and levels of evidence were defined per Oxford Center for Evidence-based Medicine standards. Results: One systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) met the PICO and eligibility criteria. The meta-analysis demonstrated that probiotics significantly decreased AD severity in adults, enhancing their overall quality of life. Other meta-analyses and systematic reviews supported that probiotics reduce clinical severity and improve life quality in adult AD patients. Conclusion: Probiotic supplementation is a viable option to improve the quality of life for adult AD patients, offering potential therapeutic benefits in managing this condition.

Abstract

Introduction: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome is increasing, its progression involves an inflammatory response that has an important impact on the initiation, progressivity, and complications of several diseases such as heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and cancer. C-reactive protein (CRP) is one of the inflammation markers increased in patients with metabolic syndrome. Folic acid has a role in metabolizing homocysteine and improving endothelial function. There have been many studies conducted, but the results are still inconsistent. Method: Literature searching was conducted using PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase databases. MeSH terms, advanced search and eligibility criteria were used for title/abstract screening before journal review. Results: One systematic review and meta-analysis (SR-MA) and one RCT met the PICO and eligibility criteria. The SR-MA found that folic acid administration can reduce CRP level (WMD -0.94 (95% CI -1.56 – 0.32; p=0.00) at a dose of 0.15 mg/day for 12 weeks to 10 mg/day for 2 weeks, while the RCT found an insignificant result. Conclusion: Folic acid supplementation has a potential benefit to decrease CRP levels in metabolic syndrome.
