Abstract El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el posible efecto probiótico del sustrato de residuos agroindustriales fermentado con BAL y levaduras sobre los indicadores productivos, reproductivos y de salud de cobayas primíparas y su descendencia. Se utilizaron 80 cuyes nulíparas distribuidas en 4 grupos de 20 hembras nulíparas cada uno, de 120 ± 5 días de edad, 1450 ± 25 g de peso vivo, todas sometidas al mismo sistema de manejo y alimentación actual de la granja. Se aplicaron con una dosis de 1 mL del bioaditivo / animal. Los tratamientos suministrados fueron las siguientes variantes: T1. control. T2, Sustrato (residuos agroindustriales) fermentado con L. acidophilus ATCC® 4356 ™. T3, sustrato más Kluyveromyces fragilis L4 (UCLV). T4, sustrato fermentado con microorganismos T2 y T3.En el experimento se utilizó un diseño completamente al azar, donde se evaluaron los indicadores reproductivos, productivos y de salud. Weight gain in pregnancy was greater (P < 0.05) in T4 in this same group, weight loss was less (P < 0.05) in lactation; the age at first conception and at delivery decreased (P < 0.05) in T4; fertility, the number of live-born animals and the weight at birth and at weaning were higher (P < 0.05) in T4 compared to the other groups; Likewise, blood parameters notably improved in the animals of treatment 4. The treaties with bioaditive were the ones whit the best behavior as reflected in table 1. In the experiment, the beneficial effect as a probiotic was confirmed by the treatments (T2, T3 and T4) of these with the best performance was T4. The inclusion of substrates fermented with LAB and yeasts significantly improves the productive, reproductive and health indicators of primiparous guinea pigs and their offspring.

AbstractObjectiveTo investigate weight concerns among adolescent boys and relationships with health indicators and family factors.DesignAnalysis of the 2010 Health Behaviour in School-aged Children survey of 10–17-year-olds.SettingSchools in the Republic of Ireland.ResultsAmong 6187 boys, 25·1 % reported a desire to lose weight (weight ‘loss’ concern) and 7·7 % reported a desire to gain weight (weight ‘gain’ concern). Both types of weight concerns were associated with poor self-rated health, life satisfaction and happiness, and with more frequent emotional and physical symptoms. Family factors were associated with boys’ weight concerns. In adjusted analyses, the risk of weight ‘loss’ concerns decreased with daily family breakfasts (OR=0·80; 95 % CI 0·66, 0·97). The risk of weight ‘gain’ concerns decreased with frequent family evening meals (OR=0·77; 95 % CI 0·60, 0·99). Ease of communication with mother was associated with a decreased risk of weight ‘loss’ and weight ‘gain’ concerns among boys (OR=0·74; 95 % CI 0·60, 0·90 and OR=0·61; 95 % CI 0·44, 0·82, respectively). An open father–son relationship and having a father present in the home decreased the risk of weight ‘loss’ concerns (OR=0·69; 95 % CI 0·57, 0·82 and OR=0·81; 95 % CI 0·67, 0·98, respectively).ConclusionsBody weight concerns were reported by a sizeable minority of boys and were associated with negative health outcomes. The findings support the need to promote frequent family meals and facilitate open communication in families.

Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy (NVP) is a term used to describe a wide spectrum of symptoms. At one end of the spectrum is the common, mild to moderate nausea and vomiting that is usually limited to the first trimester. At the other end of the spectrum are the intractable, severe symptoms of hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) that is associated with weight loss, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance and hospitalisation.

AbstractThe cover comb has been developed in New Zealand as a means of increasing residual fleece depth after shearing and so increasing the resistance of shorn sheep to cold stress.The effects of shearing by cover comb and standard comb were studied over 2 days pre-shearing and 10 days post-shearing in eight pairs of non-pregnant, non-lactating 2-year-old ewes. Animals were housed and given a maintenance level of chaffed lucerne hay. One member of each pair was shorn with a cover comb, the other with a standard comb. Each pair was exposed to ‘cold plus wind’ (7°C ambient temperature, 7 km/h air movement) followed by ‘cold plus wind plus rain’ (10°C ambient temperature, 7km/h air movement, wetting at a rate equivalent to 25 mm/h rain from overhead sprinklers) in a calorimetry chamber on days S –3, S –2, SO (day of shearing), S2, S6 and S10. Heat production immediately after shearing (SO) was proportionately 0·22 greater in ewes shorn by the standard comb under conditions of ‘cold plus wind’ and 0·38 greater under conditions of ‘cold plus wind plus rain’ than in their cover comb-shorn cohorts. Circulating concentrations of non-esterifiedfatty acids were substantially elevated on the day of shearing and 2 days thereafter in ewes shorn by the standard comb, indicating increased rates of body fat mobilization to support heat production in these ewes compared with those shorn by the cover comb. This was reflected in a 1·4 kg weight loss in the standard comb-shorn ewes compared with a 0·4 kg live-weight gain in the cover comb-shorn group over the 10 days of the experiment. It was concluded that use of a cover comb will significantly reduce the risk of death from hypothermia in sheep shorn during winter and spring, and should facilitate an increase in the productivity of animals by allowing a greater proportion of food energy to be used for productive purposes.

Two guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus) with clinical signs of anorexia, weight loss, depression and abdominal enlargement were examined. During ultrasound examination, a fluid-filled anechogenic structure 3–4 cm in diameter, with echogenic spots and a highly echogenic thick wall, was found in the pelvic region in one case and connected to the liver in the other case. An abscess or a cyst was suspected and surgical treatment including laparotomy was performed. By histopathological examination performed after surgery, a liver abscess was diagnosed in one guinea pig and an abscess in the pelvic region in the other animal.

Weight gain after childbirth is a significant risk factor for type 2 diabetes (T2DM) development after gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The level of weight loss achieved in diabetes prevention programs for women after GDM is often low but its effects on the cardiometabolic risk are not known. In a secondary analysis of a diabetes prevention program in postpartum women with history of gestational diabetes, we evaluated the effect of weight change on the cardiometabolic outcomes at 1-year follow-up. Of the 284 women randomized to the intervention arm, 206 with the final outcome measurements were included in the analyses. Participants were categorized into weight loss (>2 kg, n = 74), weight stable (±2 kg, n = 74) or weight gain (>2 kg, n = 58) groups. The weight loss group had significantly greater decrease in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) than the weight gain group (−0.1 + 0.4% vs. 0 + 0.4%, p = 0.049). The weight loss group had significantly greater decrease in total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol cholesterol than the other two groups (p < 0.05). The weight gain group had significantly greater increase in triglyceride and triglyceride:high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio compare with the other groups (p < 0.01). Overall, a small amount of weight loss and prevention of further weight gain was beneficial to the cardiometabolic outcomes of postpartum women after GDM.

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, billions of people have gone into lockdown, facing pandemic related challenges that engender weight gain, especially in the obese. We report the results of an online survey, conducted during Israel’s first quarantine, of 279 adults treated in hospital-based obesity clinics with counseling, medications, surgery, endoscopic procedures, or any combination of these for weight loss. In this study, we assessed the association between changes in dietary and lifestyle habits and body weight, and the benefits of receiving weight management care remotely through telemedicine during lockdown. Compared to patients not receiving obesity care via telemedicine, patients receiving this care were more likely to lose weight (OR, 2.79; p = 0.042) and also to increase participation in exercise (OR, 2.4; p = 0.022). While 40% of respondents reported consuming more sweet or salty processed snacks and 33% reported less vegetables and fruits, 65% reported more homemade foods. At the same time, 40% of respondents reported a reduction in exercise and 52% reported a decline in mood. Alterations in these eating patterns, as well as in exercise habits and mood, were significantly associated with weight changes. This study highlights that lockdown affects health behaviors associated with weight change, and advocates for the use of telemedicine to provide ongoing obesity care during future quarantines in order to promote weight loss and prevent weight gain.
