Today's health conscious consumer is avoiding egg and dairy products. Traditionally, though, these foods were believed to be particularly wholesome and nutritious. Fifty years ago, Britain actively encouraged milk consumption, particularly by school children, with a National Milk Scheme (1940). At much the same time (1949), Romanoff and Romanoff's classic, ‘The Avian Egg’, enthusiastically supported eggs: ‘Compared with hens’ egg, no other single food of animal origin is eaten and relished by so many people the world over; none is served in such a variety of ways. Its popularity is justified not only because it is so easily procured and has so many uses in cookery, but also because it is almost unsurpassed in nutritive excellence’. But recently, cholesterol has emerged as a topic of polite conversation at dinner parties and most of us are aware, even if only vaguely and often inaccurately, of the connections between cholesterol and heart disease and eggs and dairy products. Fifty years ago the average Australian consumed 250 eggs per annum; today this consumption has declined to less than 135 eggs per annum (Castle, 1989). Similar declines in egg consumption have occurred in other developed countries over the same period of time. Hence there is interest worldwide in developing technologies to extract the cholesterol from foods, particularly eggs and dairy products, and a flurry of research activity has resulted.

Kawasaki disease (KD) is recognized as a leading cause of acquired heart disease in children in developed countries. Although global in distribution, Japan records the highest incidence of KD in the world. Epidemiological reports from the two most populous countries in the world, namely China and India, indicate that KD is now being increasingly recognized. Whether this increased reporting is due to increased ascertainment, or is due to a true increase in incidence, remains a matter of conjecture. The diagnosis and management of KD in developing countries is a challenging proposition. In this review we highlight some of the difficulties faced by physicians in managing children with KD in resource-constrained settings.

Cyclopropane fatty acids (CPFAs) are unusual fatty acids of microbial origin, recently detected in milk and dairy products. CPFAs have been demonstrated to be interesting molecular markers for authentication of dairy products obtained without ensiled feeds. Moreover, they can also be recognized as a new secondary component of human diet. Information is lacking on the presence of cyclic fatty acids in other food sources. Cyclopropane fatty acids have been detected by GC-MS analysis in cheese and other animal fats in concentration ranging from 200 to 1000 mg/kg fat, but in some cases, the complex fatty acid profile and the possible presence of interfering peaks make the separation not straightforward and the quantification uneasy. Therefore, a new reliable 1H NMR method was developed to detect and measure CPFA content in different foods of animal origin, based on the detection of the characteristic signals of cyclopropane ring. The 1H NMR (600 MHz) method showed detection limits comparable with those of full scan GC-MS, and it allowed the identification and quantitation of the cyclopropane fatty acids in different foods.

<p>Acute rheumatic fever is a major cause of heart disease in many parts of the world. Though it is generally considered rare in developed countries, is remains a large issue in New Zealand. Of particular concern is the prevalence of acute rheumatic fever among Maori and Paci c Island peoples. In this thesis we develop a model to simulate acute rheumatic fever in a population. We discuss the use of both deterministic methods and stochastic processes. Demographics and statistics speci c to New Zealand are then used to develop the model in a way that ts speci cally to the situation in New Zealand. We also consider the introduction of treatment strategies for acute rheumatic fever and discuss how risk factors can be used to focus such strategies.</p>

A carne suína é uma das mais antigas formas de alimentação humana, tendo em vista que a espécie foi domesticada há 5000 a.c., na China e em outras regiões da Ásia. A sua natureza de caráter adaptável, porte e rusticidade permitiram a fácil domesticação, que foi anterior a de outros animais, como por exemplo, os bovinos. O atual estudo tem como base a análise do consumo de carne suína no Brasil, que está abaixo da média mundial e de outros países no ranking de grandes produtores desse alimento. Tendo isso em vista, é possível que haja restrições por parte dos consumidores relacionadas a esse tipo de carne, alguns fatores serão avaliados nesse trabalho, abordando essa problemática. O presente artigo tem como objetivo principal analisar o comportamento dos consumidores e os possíveis fatores que restringem o consumo de carne suína no município de Dom Pedrito, RS. Para o levantamento dos dados, foi utilizado um questionário elaborado no site Survey Monkey, software desenvolvido para coleta de dados em pesquisas. Após aplicação dos questionários, foi possível, através dos dados, elucidar algumas questões sobre o consumo de carne suína em Dom Pedrito, RS, sendo que foi respondido um total de 101 questionários. Após análise e discussão dos dados obtidos, foi possível avaliar que o consumo de carne suína em Dom Pedrito, RS, no grupo de consumidores não é influenciado por possíveis restrições de consumo, tais como, ser um alimento com alto teor de gordura, de difícil digestão entre outros. Mas sim, é consequência do hábito de consumo e forte influência da cultura local, onde a preferência é dada a outras proteínas, como carne bovina e ovina.Palavras-Chave: Alimento de origem animal, fonte de proteína, suínos.Analysis of pork consumption in the city of Dom Pedrito, BrazilABSTRACTPork is one of the oldest forms of human food, since the species was domesticated 5000 BC in China and other parts of Asia. Its adaptive nature, size and rusticity allowed for easy domestication, which was earlier than other animals, such as cattle. The current study is based on the analysis of pork consumption in Brazil, which is below the world average and other countries in the ranking of large producers of this food. Considering this, it is possible that there are restrictions on the part of the consumers related to this type of meat, some factors will be evaluated in this work, addressing this problem. The main objective of this article is to analyze the behavior of consumers and the possible factors that restrict pork consumption in the municipality of Dom Pedrito, RS. In order to collect the data, a questionnaire was used in the Survey Monkey site, software developed for data collection in surveys. After applying the questionnaires, it was possible, through the data, to elucidate some questions about pork consumption in Dom Pedrito, RS, and a total of 101 questionnaires were answered. After analyzing and discussing the data obtained, it was possible to evaluate that the pork consumption in Dom Pedrito, RS, in the consumer group is not influenced by possible consumption restrictions, such as being a high fat food, difficult digestion among others. But it is a consequence of the habit of consumption and strong influence of the local culture, where preference is given to other proteins such as beef and sheep.Keywords: Food of animal origin, protein source, pigs.

India is the leader in white revolution since 1998, India surpassed the United States and became the largest milk producer in the world by executing Operation ood and also the largest consumer of dairy products. Milk production in the country has increased from 146.3 million tonnes in 2014-15 to 198.4 million tonnes in 2019-20 (Economic Times, 2021). In comparison with 2018-19, the production has increased by 5.70 percent according to the government data. More than 75 percent of the households in the country are consuming milk. The per capita milk consumption is found to be much higher for the home-grown households than those which purchased in most of the state.

Newborn screening for critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) is recommended for implementation in many developed countries as the standard of care. Efforts to implement this point of care screen in developing regions face unique barriers, and present important opportunities. The First Pan-African Newborn Screening Conference, held in Rabat in June 2019, incorporated a workshop dedicated specifically to identifying and discussing CCHD screening issues in the Middle East Northern Africa (MENA) region. The issues explored may be beneficial as part of the greater discussion of CCHD screening’s growing importance in developing regions around the world. Screening experts presented education and lessons learned from previous CCHD implementations, including a hands-on technical demonstration of CCHD screening. Children’s HeartLink, The Newborn Foundation, and Children’s National Hospital each presented on their experiences working with teams and pilot projects from around the world. Experience in implementation from Children’s Hospital Marrakesh was presented and highlighted some of the unique findings, challenges, and experiences of screening in Morocco. As developing regions investigate the implementation of CCHD screening using pulse oximetry either as part of research studies, pilots, regional studies, or as part of a nationally supported program, data to inform policymakers on the benefits of screening and specific needs for infrastructure development and resources are essential. This special issue contains initial lessons learned on newborn CCHD screening from a select number of developing countries, including Saudi Arabia and Morocco and regions such as Latin America.

Diet has gained attention as a risk factor for the development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), especially with regards to food of animal origin, such as meat and dairy products. By using data from national patient registers and dietary data from a large prospective population cohort, the Swedish Mammography Cohort, we aimed to investigate whether the consumption of meat and dairy products had any impact on the risk of subsequent development of RA. During 12 years of follow-up (January 2003–December 2014; 381, 456 person-years), 368 patients with a new diagnosis of RA were identified. No associations between the development of RA and the consumption of meat and meat products (hazard ratio [HR] for the fully adjusted model: 1.08 [95% CI: 0.77–1.53]) or the total consumption of milk and dairy products (HR for the fully adjusted model: 1.09 [95% CI: 0.76–1.55]) were observed. In conclusion, in this large prospective cohort of women, no associations were observed between dietary intake of meat and dairy products and the risk of RA development.

In the World, food isn’t equally distributed. While the health problems of developed countries are obesity, other counties are facing hunger and related diseases. The expectation that the wold population will increase by 1/3 until 2050 will make it necessary to increase animal protein production. It was noted that, in Turkey, per person, red meat consumption is 35 kg, poultry meat is more than 22 kg, while egg consumption number is 200, milk is 230 litres. Our daily protein expenditure is about 35 kg and it is recommended that it should be between 45-50 kgs to suit up the communication age. The highest development rate belongs to white meat industry and breeding chicken industry follows. While this development rate is over the World average in our country, the rate of red meat is lower than the World average. The Information pollution, which is produced by social media and media, is causing consumers to be affected negatively. All population especially the young population should consumption egg, milk, meat and their productions which are very rich for their biological values as their natural need levels. Consumers demanding products obtained from organic and free-range systems should be able to Access easily. However, whichever system is produced, it must be ensured that the products is obtained from a healthy environment, trustable and the products must have date of expiry on their packings. In this review, efficiency of chicken breeding is told to feed the raising population by the animal protein sources sufficiently which is really important for growing intellect and powerful generations.

The pattern of cardiac disease differs from one region of the world to that of another. Rheumatic heart disease is still widely prevalent in Nepal. The patterns and natural history is considerably different from what is seen in developed countries. Few studies had been done in Nepal to address pattern of heart diseases. Need of a large study to fill the gap and to show the profile of heart disease is there. This paper aims at providing the profile of heart disease as seen in Bir Hospital.
