Adequately organized nutritional support allows avoiding the development of protein-energy malnutrition in patients with bronchopulmonary diseases and cystic fibrosis (CF). The satisfying of increased protein and energy needs of CF patients can only be implemented under the administration. The aim of the study is to analyze the tolerance and effectiveness of the use of domestic sterilized liquid specialized high-protein high-calorie mixtures «Nutrien Pulmo» and «Nutrien Energiya with Dietary Fibers» in children over three years of age with acute (pneumonia) and chronic (cystic fibrosis) forms of bronchopulmonary pathology. Patients and methods. Fifty-five children, including 41 patient suffered from CF, 14 cases with pneumonia, aged from 3 to 18years, were under observation. Of these, 23 (42%) children received Nutrien Pulmo, 32 (58%) children received Nutrien Energiya with Dietary Fibers. Nutritional status was assessed using the WHO-Anthro programs (for children from 3 to 5 years old) and WHO-Anthro Plus (for patients over five years) and clinical and biochemical blood test indices. The observation period was accounted for three weeks. Results. All patients highly appreciated the taste of the products, there were no refusals to take specialized mixtures, neither adverse events during the observation period. While taking specialized mixtures, there was a positive trend in anthropometric indices and a significant improvement in biochemical markers of nutritional status: an increase in prealbumin, total protein, transferrin level. Conclusion. The use of specialized domestic products «Nutrien Pulmo» and «Nutrien Energiya with Dietary Fibers» in the diet therapy of children with acute and chronic bronchopulmonary pathology has the safe and positive effect on the nutritional status of patients.

The Ghana Demographic Health Survey indicates that the major nutritional challenges in Ghana among school children are protein-energy malnutrition and micro-nutrient deficiencies. School Feeding Programmes are one of the main interventions addressing malnutrition and its related effects on children’s health and education. The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of Ghana School Feeding Programme on nutritional status of school children in Atwima-Nwabiagya District of Ashanti Region, Ghana. A total of 234 pupils between 9 and 17 years of age, comprising 114 participants and 120 non-participants from three participating and three non-participating schools, respectively, with similar characteristics, took part in the study. It was hypothesized that the nutritional status of participants was better than that of non-participants. Results did not indicate any association between the school lunch and nutritional status. There was no statistically significant difference in the nutritional status of participants and non-participants. The programme did not impact the nutritional status of participants.

The successful provision of optimal nutrition in children with serious diseases depends on the right diet, as well as the addition of specialized mixtures for its correction. The aim of the study was to study the effectiveness of supplemental nutrition in hereditary fermentopathy (cystic fibrosis) in children. The work included a three-year follow-up of 69 children aged 3 to 15 years suffering from cystic fibrosis. Patients were divided into two groups: 37 patients with cystic fibrosis group 1, receiving a modified version of treatment with additional enteral nutrition and 32 patients with cystic fibrosis group 2, receiving traditional treatment. The study conducted a comparative analysis of changes in trophic status in patients using nutritional support mixture produced in the Russian Federation – "Nutrien-standard"in diet therapy. Laboratory, functional and anthropometric parameters were monitored once a month. A significant increase in the physical development of patients was obtained only in the second year of use in the diet of supplementary nutrition, p<0.05. At the 3rd year of treatment, the results of positive dynamics of nutritional status in both groups were confirmed, while the increase in body mass index in the main group was 6.7%, and in the control group-only 1% (p<0.05). It is noted that the use of this mixture allows to achieve positive dynamics of nutritional status in 27% of patients and in 73% of cases to completely eliminate it. The obtained results prove the expediency of additional use of "Nutrient-standard" mixture in the complex therapy of patients with hereditary pancreatic enzyme deficiency, cystic fibrosis

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The protein-energy malnutrition alters the prognosis of patients with cirrhosis. Its prevalence may vary according to the etiology of liver disease, it´s severity and the evaluation of the method applied. The infection by the hepatitis C virus (HCV) and alcoholism are the main etiologies of cirrhosis and result in a significant morbidity and mortality. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the nutritional status of patients with cirrhosis according the liver disease etiology and severity. METHODS: It is a prospective study, in which the sample was for convenience and consisted of patients with cirrhosis, infected by HCV or alcoholic etiology. The nutritional status evaluation was carried out through anthropometry, food consumption, bioelectrical impedance (BIA) and subjective global assessment (SGA). The anthropometric data evaluated were weight, height, body mass index (BMI), triceps skinfold (TSF), circumference of the arm (CA), non-dominant handshake strength (FAM) and the adductor pollicis muscle thickness (APM). Patients were classified according to the severity of liver disease, using the Child-Pugh and Model for End-stage Liver Diseases (MELD) scores. RESULTS: Ninety patients with cirrhosis were evaluated, 47 with HCV and 43 with alcoholic etiology. The prevalence of protein-calorie malnutrition ranged from 10.9% to 54.3% in the HCV group and from 4.7% to 20.9% in the alcoholic group, depending on the method used for evaluation. The group with HCV infection presented a higher malnutrition prevalence in comparison to the alcoholic in the following evaluations: TSF (P<0.001), phase angle (PA) (P=0.016) and SGA (P=0.010). PA values were lower in patients with viral cirrhosis (5.68±1.05) when compared to those with alcoholic etiology (6.61±2.31) (P=0.016). When all patients were analyzed, regardless of etiology, an inversely correlation was observed among Child-Pugh score and PA values (P=0.018). CONCLUSION: HCV cirrhosis showed worse nutritional parameters in comparison to alcoholic etiology; however, the PA was associated with worse liver function in both etiologies.

Children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are considered at high risk for protein-energy malnutrition. Clinical practice guidelines generally recommend an evaluation of numerous nutritional parameters to give a complete and accurate picture of nutritional status. This review summarizes the potential limitations of commonly used methods of nutritional assessment in the setting of CKD. Unrecognized fluid overload and inappropriate normalization of body composition measures are the most important factors leading to misinterpretation of the nutritional assessment in CKD. The importance of expressing body composition measures relative to height or height-age in a population in whom short stature and pubertal delay are highly prevalent is emphasized. The limitations of growth as a marker for nutritional status are also addressed. In addition, the prevailing belief that children with CKD are at high risk for malnutrition is challenged.

Ten variables were assessed as they influence the under five (U5) nutritional status of children at Oranfe, a semi-rural community in Ife East Local Government Area of Osun state, Nigeria. The two types of protein energy malnutrition (PEM) that are prevalent in the community are stunting and wasting. Of the 230 children assessed using Waterlow's technique, 23% and 22.6% were stunted and wasted respectively. The results confirmed that mothers' educational level, age, parity, types of family and children's immunization status and age are some of the key determinants of nutritional status of U5 children. The intensification of exclusive breast feeding, female education, a compulsory food demonstration unit in all health centres, use of complementary feeds from 7 months upwards, growth monitoring and promotion are some of the strategies to reduce the high prevalence of PEM in both rural and urban areas of developing countries.

Abstrak Tuberkulosis (TBC) mengakibatkan penurunan asupan dan malabsorbsi nutrien serta metabolisme tubuh berubah sehingga terjadi massa otot dan lemak menurun akibat mekanisme malnutrisi dari energi protein. Malnutrisi pada TBC berpengaruh terhadap prognosis dan tingkat kematian. Peningkatan produksi IFNl- γ dan IL-6, TNF α menghambat dari aktivitas Lipo Protein Lipase (LPL) dijaringan lemak. Enzim LPL berperan dalam proses bersihan trigliserida. Peningkatan ini meningkatkan trigliserida sehingga proses sintesis lemak menurun dan proses lipolisis lemak meningkat di jaringan. Tujuan penelitian ini menganalisis hubungan trigliserida dan status gizi pada klien TBC. Metode penelitian ini korelasi analitik dengan pendekatan cross-sectional, sampel 25 orang, dengan uji korelasi Pearson-Product Moment. Hasil penelitian status gizi dibawah normal 56%, normal 40% dan kelebihan berat badan 4%. Kadar Trigliserida normal 84%, trigliserida tinggi 16%. Kesimpulan ada hubungan antara kadar trigliserida dan status gizi yakni r hitung sebesar 0,5: r tabel = 0,396 sehingga r hitung > r tabel dengan korelasi positif.Kata Kunci : Trigliserida, Status Gizi, Tuberkulosis.AbstractTuberculosis(TB) resulting the decreasing of nutrient intake and malabsorbsi as well as changing the metabolism of the body. The wasthing are decreased protein energy. Malnutrition on TB affects the prognosis of the treatment and death rates. The increase TNF α will inhibit the enzyme activity of Lipoprotein Lipase (LPL) in the fat tissue. LPL enzyme plays a role in cleavage process of triglycerides. This research was to analyze the relationship of triglycerides and nutrition status on the client with tuberculosis. The design was cross-sectional approach. The respondents were gathered from 25 newly TB patients. The analyzed using Pearson Product-Moment correlation. The results showed 56% respondents undernutrition, and normal 40% and over nutrition 4%. Most triglyceride level of the respondent were normal (84). The concluded was a relationship between triglycerides and the nutritional status with a positive correlation ( P value 0,396).Keywords : Triglycerides, Nutritional Status, Tuberculosis

Background Although aggressive multimodal treatment programsin childhood cancer have significantly increased survival rates, themorbidity caused by protein energy malnutrition related to therapyis still high.Objective To describe nutritional status changes in children withmalignant solid tumors after 21 days of chemotherapy.Methods A descriptive prospective study with pre- and post-testdesign in children with malignant solid tumors was conducted inthe Department of Child Health, Medical School University of In-donesia/Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta between Janu-ary and July 2004. Anthropometrics (body weight, BW and mid-upper-arm circumference, MUAC) and serum albumin measure-ments were performed before and after 21 days of chemotherapy.Results Twenty-two children were enrolled in this study. After 21days of chemotherapy, 8 children had decreased BW and 6 chil-dren had decreased MUAC, but 3 children gained weight and hadincreased MUAC. Based on MUAC-for-age, 7 children had de-creased nutritional status. Fifteen children had reduced serum al-bumin levels based on a 10% cut-off point. The number of childrenwho had reduced serum albumin was larger than those who hadreduced BW and MUAC. In the evaluation of average oral foodconsumption during 21 days, 7 out of 16 children could acceptmore than 2/3 portion of served food. All of the children who re-ceived enteral feeding could accept more than 2/3 portion of servedfood.Conclusion There was a decrease of nutritional status, BW,MUAC, and serum albumin in most of the subjects after chemo-therapy. Serum albumin level measurement was the more sensi-tive parameter in determining nutritional status changes. Enteralfeeding seems more appropriate to fulfill nutritional needs than oralfeeding

Objetivo: Avaliar o estado nutricional de crianças internadas no setor de pediatria do Hospital Escola de Itajubá, no período de fevereiro a maio de 2014 e correlacionar o mesmo com o tempo de internação. Materiais e Métodos: A amostra foi composta por 148 crianças, com idade de 0 a 14 anos, de ambos os gêneros, internadas na clínica pediátrica do Hospital Escola, no período de fevereiro a maio de 2014. Os pacientes foram submetidos a um questionário socioeconômico, avaliações nutricionais objetiva (antropométrica) e subjetivas (escore de risco nutricional e Avaliação Nutricional Subjetiva Global - ANSG). O estado nutricional foi avaliado a partir dos índices antropométricos: peso/estatura (P/E), estatura/idade (E/I), peso/idade (P/I) e índice de massa corporal/idade (IMC/I). Resultados: Das crianças avaliadas 58,8% eram do gênero masculino e 41,2% do gênero feminino. Houve maior número de internações de crianças com faixa etária de 3 a 10 anos. Verificou-se que 79,7% (n=118) não estavam desnutridos e 20,3% (n=30) sofriam de desnutrição. Das variáveis analisadas, apenas o período de internação teve relação direta com o estado nutricional, com p=0,001. Dos métodos subjetivos, observou-se que 37,2% dos pacientes encontravam-se desnutridos segundo a ANSG, enquanto pelo escore, 57,4% dos pacientes estavam com desnutrição. Conclusão: Os resultados indicam que a avaliação antropométrica é um bom parâmetro para indicar pacientes que já se encontram com desnutrição. Por outro lado é importante associar a avaliação subjetiva à objetiva, para melhor identificação de fatores de risco associados à desnutrição. Palavras-chave: hospitalização, desnutrição energético-proteica, estado nutricional infantil. ABSTRACTObjective: To assess the nutritional status of children admitted to the pediatric department of the Hospital School Itajubá, from February to May 2014 and correlate it with the duration of hospitalization. Materials and Methods: The sample consisted of 148 children aged 0-14 years of both sexes, admitted to the pediatric clinic of the Hospital School of Itajubá, from February to May 2014. Patients underwent a socioeconomic questionnaire, objective assessment (anthropometric measurements) and subjective assessment (score of nutritional risk and Subjective Global Assessment - SGA). Nutritional status was assessed using anthropometric indices: weight / height (W / H), height / age (H / A), weight / age (W / A) and BMI / age mass (BMI / A). Results: Of the children evaluated 58.8% were male and 41.2% female. There were more hospitalizations of children aged 3-10 years. It was found that 79.7% (n = 118) were not malnourished and 20.3% (n = 30) suffering from malnutrition. From the variables analyzed, only the hospitalization period was directly related to nutritional status, with p = 0.001. With the subjective methods, it was observed that 37.2% of patients were malnourished according to the SGA, while  from  the score method,  57.4% of patients were suffering from malnutrition. Conclusion: The results indicate that the anthropometric assessment is a good parameter to indicate patients who are already malnourished. On the other hand it is important to associate the subjective to the objective evaluation, to better identify risk factors associated with malnutrition. Keywords: hospitalization, protein-energy malnutrition, child nutritional status.
