Abstract

Calorie together with protein intake has been proven to be important factors that play a role in critically ill patients. Hypermetabolism in the early acute phase increases energy expenditure and calorie requirement. Insufficient calorie intake will increase protein degradation for gluconeogenesis, which can be assessed by the level of 24-hour urinary urea nitrogen (UUN). Adequate daily calorie intake is expected to improve the UUN level in patients. This study aims to investigates the correlation of calorie intake with UUN level changes in critically ill patients.

Abstract

Introduction Adults in Vhembe district participate in fitness exercise programs for optimal health. However, the nutritional profiles of these participants remain unknown. Aim: To assess the socio-demography, calculate BMI and measure WC of adults participating in fitness exercise programs around Vhembe district, Limpopo Province. Method: A cross–sectional study design was conducted to assess socio-demographic and anthropometric profiles of 112 adults participating in fitness exercise programs around Vhembe district, Limpopo Province. Ethical clearance was obtained from TREC and written consent by the participants. Socio-demographic profile included, for example, age, education status, duration and frequency of training. Anthropometry included weight and height to calculate BMI, and waist circumference. Data were analyzed using SPSS (v29). The Chi-square test, with a p-value of <0.05, was used to determine the association among variables. Results: Males were aged 36.3±9.3 and females 32.1±8.7 years; training three times per week for two hours in aerobics and bodybuilding programs. Most participants had bachelor’s degrees (males, 35.5%; females, 29.8%) and diplomas (males, 32.3%; females, 27.7%). Unemployment was higher (57.4%) among females compared to males (38.5%). Aerobic participants were overweight (males, 27.8±4.7; females 28.8±4.8 kg/m²) whereas those in bodybuilding were obese (31.0±16.9, males and 37.5±0.0 kg/m², females). Participants in both programs had optimal waist circumferences (<102 cm, males and <88 cm, females). Anthropometry was associated (p<0.05) to demography among the aerobic exercise participants. Conclusion: Participants trained once per day, three times a week for two hours. The majority had higher education qualifications, however, unemployed. Participants were overweight with acceptable waist circumference values

Abstract

Background: Durian is a tropical fruit with a unique flavour and intense aroma. All parts of durian are reported to have many health benefits, especially the seeds. The seeds are known to have higher antioxidant activity and phytochemical compound than the pulp. Durian seeds are food waste that has the potential to be reused in the food and health industry. Objective: This article provides information on the presence of bioactive compounds, antioxidant activity, and the potential use of durian seeds as therapeutic agents. Methods: The study used a scoping review with four databases: Google Scholar, PubMed, DOAJ, and ScienceDirect. Scoping is needed to complete the article, summarize scientific data, and as a future reference regarding the nutraceutical potential of durian seeds. Results: A total of 6 articles were reviewed based on the screening results. The bioactive compounds found in these articles are phenolics, flavonoids, α-tocopherol, terpenoids, saponins, anthraquinones, and several flavonoid classes such as catechin, rutin, isoquercitrin, quercitrin. Total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant activity were highest in the Chanee durian seed cultivar compared to the Monthong type and various other cultivars from several countries. Conclusion: Durian seeds as food waste seem to have potential as a nutraceutical. Known as food waste that is rarely utilized, based on several studies, durian seeds have several benefits, one of which is to overcome various diseases. Further research needs to be done to prove that durian seeds can be helpful in the food industry as well as in pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications.

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) infection triggers a decrease in appetite and disrupts protein metabolism. Protein provides the main source of amino acids for immune system formation and tissue repair, both of which are impaired in tuberculosis patients. Intensive phase anti-tuberculosis therapy aims to boost immunity, reduce bacterial load, and improve nutritional status. Pulmonary TB is the leading cause of death in Timor Leste (94% mortality rate by 2021), yet few studies have explored the relationship between nutrition and treatment response. This study investigated the relationship between protein intake, nutritional status, and treatment response in pulmonary TB patients undergoing intensive therapy in Dili and Oecusse. Method: Using a cross-sectional study design, 104 participants were recruited using consecutive sampling. Data collection included both primary and secondary data. Analyses were conducted using the independent samples t-test, Mann-Whitney, and Fisher's Exact Test. Results: There are 66.3% at risk of malnutrition based on upper arm circumference, a mean body mass index of 17.86 kg/m². The median daily protein intake was 1.07 g/kgBW/day, with lower intake of animal protein compared to plant protein (0.44 g/kgBW/day vs. 0.59 g/kgBW/day). The study found no significant relationship between protein intake and nutritional status in response to the intensive phase therapy (p>0.05). Conclusion: There is no significant relationship between protein intake and nutritional status in response to the intensive phase therapy. Further research with a case-control study design is needed to confirm findings and evaluate factors affecting unbalanced therapy response.

Abstract

Background: Stunting is a chronic malnutrition problem primarily occurring during the first 1000 days of life. Iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy can threaten fetal growth and may affect the baby's birth weight and length. According to the Timor-Leste Food and Nutrition Survey 2020, stunting in Timor-Leste is 47.1%. Objectives: To determine the relationship between a history of anemia during the third trimester of pregnancy and low birth weight with the incidence of stunting in children aged 12-23 months in Dili city. Methods: This study was a case-control design conducted in five health centers in Dili City, Timor-Leste. The sample consists of 180 children aged 12-23 months, with 90 stunted cases and 90 controls selected consecutively. Data collected encompasses both child-related and maternal information. Results: Anemia during the third trimester of pregnancy OR 95%CI 7.18 (3.38-15.23) and low birth weight OR 95%CI 5.39 (2.09 – 13.90) are significantly associated with the incidence of stunting (p < 0.01). Based on logistic regression analysis, anemia during pregnancy and low birth weight are not significantly associated with an increased risk of stunting. However, there are characteristics of the mother and child that are significantly associated with the risk of stunting. Conclusion: Children with a history of low birth weight are 5.3 times more likely to experience stunting, and children whose mothers had anemia during pregnancy are 7.2 times more likely to experience stunting. The results show that low birth weight and maternal anemia are related to the incidence of stunting in Timor-Leste.

Abstract

Background: Vitamin D is a vitamin that has a positive effect on maternal and infant health. The mother's nutritional status affects vitamin D levels, where one of nutritional status is expressed in body mass index (BMI). It has been assumed that BMI has the potential to influence the mother's vitamin D levels. Objective: This study analyzes the correlation between BMI and 25(OH)D levels in pregnant women. Methods: This observational analytical study examines data from the medical records of pregnant women who underwent antenatal examinations at the AMS Clinic Kemang from January 2022 to December 2023. The data analyzed were maternal age, gestational age at the time of vitamin D examination, gestational age at delivery, 25(OH)D levels, and maternal BMI. The Pearson correlation or Spearman Rank test was used in bivariate analysis, with a significance level of p<0.05. Results: The mean maternal age was 33.45±6.24 years, with the median gestational age at the time of vitamin D examination being 6.5 mg. The median gestational age at birth was 39 weeks, with vitamin D levels of 20.8 ± 7.8, and a median BMI of 24.22 kg/m2. Based on the results of the Spearman statistical test analysis, there is a strong negative significant correlation between body mass index and levels of 25(OH)D in pregnant women (r -0.747; p=0.008). Conclusion: Pregnant women's body mass index correlates negatively with levels 25 (OH)D. Therefore, it is recommended that pregnant women maintain a BMI within the normal range.

Abstract

Background: The hypercatabolic process due to metabolic stress in critically ill patients, especially in the acute phase, is very high, causing protein degradation. Inadequate intake and high protein losses will result in a negative nitrogen balance. Objective: To analyze the correlation of energy and protein intake in the late acute phase with nitrogen balance changes. Methods: This study’s method was cross−sectional with consecutive sampling, conducted in the ICU of the university of Indonesia hospital. Energy and protein intake were assessed for 7 days. On days 3 and 7 of treatment, 24−hour urine urea nitrogen levels and nitrogen balance (NB) were assessed. Twenty three subjects participants in this study. Results: There was a positive correlation between energy and protein intake with NB on day 3 (r=0.5, p=0.01 ;r=0.6, p=0.003). The mean nitrogen balance changes was positive, namely 3.8 g. There was a significant correlation between energy and protein intake with NB changes (p>0.01) Conclusion: Energy and protein intake were positively correlated with nitrogen balance in the early acute phase. The results show that the administration of energy and protein starting at low intake in the early acute phase and gradually reaching the target intake during the late acute phase leads to an improvement in nitrogen balance.

Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus is one of the most serious and common chronic diseases, leading to life-threatening, disabling and costly complications, and reducing life expectancy. Poor intracellular magnesium concentration may contribute to insulin resistance, whereas higher magnesium levels are associated with increased insulin sensitivity. This study aimed to investigate the effect of magnesium supplementation on glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of magnesium supplementation on glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: A literature search was conducted using three major databases: PubMed, Cochrane Library, and EBSCOhost. 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: A meta-analysis and two RCTs met the PICO and eligibility criteria. One meta-analysis found that magnesium supplementation significantly reduced fasting blood glucose and HbA1c. One RCT reported that magnesium supplementation significantly improved HbA1c, insulin levels, and HOMA-IR. Another RCT found that there were no differences in HbA1C and continuous glucose monitoring. Conclusion: Magnesium supplementation may have a beneficial effect on glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. However, further research is needed to establish optimal dosage and the most effective form of magnesium supplementation.
