Food Intake Patterns

PURPOSE: to identify changes in the food intake patterns among overweight children and teenagers, treated at a reference medical centre. METHOD: the method used is that of a cohort study, between April 2010 and April 2011. A total of 109 children and teenagers, either obese or overweight, took part in the study. The population was divided into two subgroups depending on the permanence period (more than 6 months, and less than 6 months off the treatment). The chi-square test and logistic regression were carried out. RESULTS: the group which had been longer off the treatment tended to consume more soft drinks, pasta and fried foods, and less fruit and vegetables. The group with less time showed an improvement, with a reduction of consumption of soft drinks and other goodies. There was confirmation of an increased risk for consumption of soft drinks, pasta and goodies in general, as also detachment from the treatment in adolescence. CONCLUSIONS: The group with a longer period of monitoring has had a positive change in food intake frequency. The main contribution made by this study is that of showing that multiprofissional treatment, including some nursing care, is efficient in progressively changing the food intake of children and adolescents who are overweight.

Background: The child feed in the first two years of life is of fundamental importance for a healthy growth and development. Aims: To verify the association between food consumption indicators and overweight in children under the age of two, followed up by primary care health professionals. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 232 children assisted by primary care. A structured questionnaire was used with questions on sociodemographic data of mothers or guardians and food intake and anthropometric data of children. The analysis of the association between excess weight and food intake indicators was performed using the Pearson’s chi-square test (χ2) and Fisher’s exact test (f ˂ 5). Results: Regarding food intake in children under 6 months of age, 35.1% of the children were exclusively breastfed. Among children at the age of 6 to 23 months: 66.3% were on continued breastfeeding; 16.7% consumed adequate foods at the age of 6 to 8 months; 90.4% consumed foods that belonged to the six food groups; 76.3% consumed food at the minimum frequency and with adequate consistency; 88.9% consumed iron-rich and vitamin A-rich foods, and 59.3% consumed ultra-processed foods. Regarding nutritional status, 24.5% of the children were overweight. Conclusion: There was no statistically significant association between overweight and food consumption indicators among the surveyed children. However, exclusive breastfeeding was below the recommended level, a low percentage of the introduction of complementary foods at the appropriate age and high consumption of ultra-processed foods reveal the need to improve the assistance provided by primary care to this group.

Background: The SSRIs being used as 1st line therapy in treatment of depression have delayed therapeutic effect which makes the patient vulnerable to an increased risk of suicide and decreased adherence to the treatment and will prematurely discontinue the therapy. The present study was conducted to evaluate if low dose mirtazapine-escitalopram combination therapy has any add on benefit over monotherapy with escitalopram.Methods: In a single-centered, comparative study involving patients with depression attending the out-patient after screening and exclusion, 60 eligible patients were randomly assigned to receive tablet mirtazapine 7.5 mg plus tablet escitalopram 10 mg intervention or tablet escitalopram 10 mg plus placebo intervention in a double-blind 6-week treatment phase. The primary outcome measure was the change in the 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) and Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) score from baseline. Participants were evaluated at baseline, 1st, 2nd,4th and 6th week. Results were analyzed using Chi-Square test for adverse effects and independent t-test analysis for efficacy parameter.Results: In the analysis of results at 6th week the numbers of patients achieved remission in mirtazapine group are more with a p-value of 0.018 which is significant and the numbers of responders in mirtazapine group are also more which is statistically significant on chi-square test. There is no significant difference was observed between the two groups with reference to occurrence of adverse effect.Conclusions: Adding low dose mirtazapine has an added benefit in terms of efficacy and getting remission early with more number of responders in the treatment of major depression.

Background. There are shortcomings in nurses’ adherence to ethical principles in practice. The present study aims to investigate the effectiveness of teaching nursing ethics via scenario-based learning and group discussion in nurses’ adherence to codes of ethics and patients’ satisfaction with nurses’ performance. Methods. Using a quasiexperimental design, the present study employed questionnaires which measure nurses’ compliance with nursing codes of ethics and patients’ satisfaction with nursing care before, immediately after, and one month after intervention. The collected data were analyzed using the independent t-test, ANOVA, and chi-square test in SPSS v.22. The level of significance was set at p<0.05. The nurses (n = 80) and patients (n = 160) from various units of two university hospitals in the south-west of Iran participated in the present study. Results. The pretest mean scores of the intervention and control groups in patient rights and patients’ satisfaction with nursing care were not significantly different (p=0.07, p=0.21). Yet, there were statistically significant differences between the groups’ mean scores as calculated immediately after (p<0.001, p<0.001) and one month after intervention (p<0.001, p<0.001). Conclusion. Employment of new approaches to teach nursing ethical principles improves compliance with nursing ethical codes and patients’ satisfaction with nurses’ performance.

170 Background: According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were half a million documented cases with 83,000 re-infections and 29,000 deaths due to Clostridium Difficile Infection(CDI) in the year 2011. The influence of CDI on outcomes in gastrointestinal(GI) malignancies is not well described, although the incidence is known to be higher in this subgroup of patients. Methods: National Inpatient Sample 1999-2014 was analyzed to identify adult admissions (>18 years of age) using ICD-9-CM codes with a primary diagnosis of esophageal(EC), Gastric(GC), Colorectal(CRC), Small intestinal(SIC), Hepatobiliary(HCC) and Pancreatic(PC) cancers. ICD-9 code 00845 was used to stratify these for the presence of CDI. We performed Chi-Square test to determine the in-hospital mortality percentage, and Cox Proportional Hazard model to control for confounders and determine the Hazard Ratio(HR) of death within 30 days of admission during hospitalization in patients with and without CDI. Results: See table. Conclusions: Despite controlling for potential confounders, patients with GI cancers and CDI are at an increased risk of death compared to those without CDI. Taking the more detrimental effects of CDI in this subgroup of patients into consideration, healthcare professionals should strive to avoid the inordinate use of antibiotics and strictly maintain current guidelines designed to prevent spread. It may be prudent to treat these patients as severe CDI, even if current criteria are not met. More scientific research is warranted in analyzing the specific outcomes of CDI in GI cancer patients and if more aggressive therapy for CDI is warranted, considering the limitations of this study.

Major depressive disorder (MDD) compromises the individual’s capacity for self-care and productivity. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of a number of genes have been associated with MDD. The zinc transporter-3 protein, encoded by the ZnT3 (SLC30A3) gene, maintains zinc-glutamate homeostasis at the glutamatergic synapse, a disruption of which increases risk of MDD. We hypothesise that variation in SLC30A3 (rs11126936) SNP increases risk of MDD. We recruited 300 MDD cases and 300 controls, matched in the ratio of 1:1 by age, gender and ethnicity. PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis was used in DNA genotyping, validated by sequencing 10% of samples. Deviation from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was tested using the chi-square test. Conditional logistic regression was used to estimate adjusted odds ratios, controlling for age, gender, ethnicity, occupation and family monthly income. Genotypes G/G and G/T showed two times greater odds of developing MDD compared to variant genotype T/T (OR=1.983, 95% CI=1.031-3.815; p=0.040 and OR=2.232, 95% CI=1.100-4.533; p=0.026 respectively). Carriers of genotypes G/G and G/T of the SNP rs11126936 in SLC30A3 are associated with increased risk of MDD.

Asthma and allergic disorders can affect the outcome of pregnancy. Asthma and allergies are common comorbidities during pregnancy and exacerbations are the major clinical problem. Results are not consistent between studies .Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the frequency of asthma and allergic disease during pregnancy. This prospective cohort study was carried out at the antenatal clinic of Mobini Hospital in Iran. Overall, 1,603 women were enrolled prior to the 24th week of pregnancy. All participants were interviewed for allergy disease, allergic trigger factors and severity of asthma. Also, asthma control was categorized as per GINA guidelines. The diagnosis of asthma was based on symptoms, pulmonologist diagnosis, and spirometry assessment. The results were analyzed using SPSS version 20 and T-tests and Chi-square test. The prevalence of asthma during pregnancy was 2.1% among the participants. The most common allergens in asthmatic group were pollen, stress, and climate. There was a significant relationship between age, education and place of living in asthmatic and non-asthmatic group, p = 0.003, p=0.05, p=0.008, respectively. There was a significant relationship between asthma symptoms among the two groups (p=0.001). In addition, a significant relationship was found between asthma and other allergic diseases including eczema, allergy, rhinitis, and wheeze in asthmatic women, with a significant relationship between wheeze and coughing and allergy. Exposure of the pregnant women to high levels of allergens, like pollen, and allergic diseases resulted in an increased risk of pregnancy outcomes. Careful management of these diseases should prevent most of the serious complications
