In regard to the question posed in the title of this review, the answer is mixed. IPN is possible today but only on a limited basis and at high cost with uncertain benefit. A 1.1% amino acid dialysis solution for IPAA therapy is available in several European countries but has not yet been approved for use in the United States. When it becomes more widely available, IP AA should become an important tool, along with other types of therapy, for use in the maintenance of good nutritional status in PDpatients.

Report on "anthropometric failure" among rural 2-6 years old Indian Bauri caste children of West BengalThis study was undertaken to determine the overall prevalence of undernutrition using the composite index of anthropometric failure (CIAF) among the Bauri caste rural preschool children of the Purulia District, West Bengal, India. A total of 347 children (185 boys and 162 girls) aged 2-6 years were measured. Stunting, underweight and wasting were used to evaluate the nutritional status of the subjects (compared with children of the United States NCHS reference sample) and CIAF for the total children. Among the studied Bauri children, 39.2% were stunted, 51.2% - underweight and 26.6% - wasted. The CIAF showed a higher prevalence of undernutrition, with a total of 66.3% of Bauri caste preschool children suffering from at least one type of "anthropometric failure". Among the studied children only 33.7% showed no failure. Valuable health and nutrition promotional programs can be formulated based on the CIAF findings with the ultimate objective of reducing childhood undernutrition in a population of India.

Mental Health Interventions

The United States spent 201 billion dollars on mental health related concerns in 2013, ranking mental illness as the leading cause of disability and the single largest source of economic burden worldwide. With mental health-related treatment costs and economic burden only projected to rise, there is an increasing need for cost-inclusive evaluations of mental health interventions specific to the United States as economic evaluations across countries are not easily comparable. Thus, this systematic, descriptive review characterized the types of interventions, target populations, and the quality of 9 economic evaluation studies (e.g., cost-effectiveness, cost-benefit) of youth mental health services conducted in the United States from 2003 to 2019. Existing evaluations suggest that certain mental health interventions for youth, among the few that have been formally evaluated, may be cost-effective and cost-beneficial. However, the small number and mixed quality of eligible studies highlights a dearth of rigorously conductedeconomic evaluations on this topic, variability in cost and outcome assessment approaches, as well as the homogenous characteristics of interventions evaluated. Greater standardization is needed to increase confidence in these conclusions and generate a body of meaningful, quality research that has the potential to shape evidence-based mental health policy.

Dietary Study

Abstract A team of applied anthropologists (EH, RDB, DM, RO) and refugee service providers (FA and others) worked in collaboration to research dietary change and nutritional status among recently resettled Congolese refugees and to apply the preliminary findings of that research. The Congolese also requested help from the anthropologists with issues of sexual harassment among the adults, school bullying, and issues related to changing gender roles in the United States. We discuss the relationships between the refugees, the applied anthropologists, and the refugee service providers, and how we worked together to address the issues, which were revealed by the dietary study.

Childhood Hypertension

Hypertension has been cited as a major risk factor of morbidity and mortality related to cardiovascular diseases and it is considered a public health problem worldwide. There is a lack of information regarding the real prevalence of hypertension among children and adolescents because blood pressure assessment is not considered part of the routine clinical assessment in this population.The aim of this study was analyze the reported prevalence of hypertension in children and adolescents according gender and nutritional status during the period 2000-2014.Methods: A systematic review focused on the assessment of high blood pressure was conducted. Only original articles were selected on the basis of strict inclusion and details and reviewed by pairs. 98 studies met the inclusion criteria. Computerized searches were completed using multiple databases.Results: Nutritional status strongly influences whether children are more likely to have hypertension. However this condition is not the same for overweight children in the United States that have less hypertension than obese children or the adolescents in Asia that the same effect occur. In the case of sex, it was observed that boys in most of the regions are more likely to have hypertension, however this change in the United States and in Africa where girls suffer more of hypertension. According with the age, there are more cases of hypertension among adolescents  than in children, where Latin America reported the highest level of hypertension.Conclusion: The data indicated that despite differences between regions, childhood hypertension has increased in the course of 14 years and it is higher among boys (36.69%) than girls (35.87%), and is also affect by the nutritional status of individuals (37.29% normal weight, 49.49% obese and 68.55% overweight). The reporting of prevalence among children and adolescents around the world need to be improved considerably in order to diminish the inconsistences.
