This paper presents a prospective view of how much calories is consumed by a person before and after a meal. From the calorie intake project, the management gets to know whether the person consumed the necessary amount of calorie. Although the hospital diet can provide adequate energy and nutrients, many patients may not consume sufficient food to meet their needs. The estimated energy intake of about one-third of patients was very low, and vitamin C, calcium and zinc intakes were also of concern. At least one-third of patients arriving at the hospital are malnourished. This can mean a patient’s diet does not provide the right amount or appropriate ratio of calories, macronutrients, or micronutrients to promote adequate healing. If this continuous then it may be a risk to the patient’s health and may not be a good sign. In this project, we proposed a deep learning system to monitor the nutrient intake for hospitalized patients. A Camera will scan the amount of food given to the patient, when the patient finishes the meal again the camera will again scan the amount of food the patient has taken. It will also note down the number of calories the patient has intake and the amount of calories the patient has left. This will help hospitalized patient to be healthy and will also help hospital staffs to monitor with ease.

IntroductionNew dietary recommendations focus on a plant-based diet. As dietary habits are formed during adolescence, knowledge on determinants of this food choice in this age-group can help prevention campaigns. Since an unbalanced choice in plant-based food might lead to nutrient deficiencies, it is also crucial to detect its association with nutrient intake and nutrient status.MethodsIn 2330 adolescents from the European HELENA study in 2006, a healthy plant-based diet index (hPDI) was calculated based on two 24 h recalls. In Belgium, 69 of them were remeasured in 2016 as young adults. The psychosocial determinants nutritional knowledge, advantages, awareness, social support, social norm, self-efficacy, barriers, availability and intention were tested by multiple linear regression. Nutrient status was determined by 16 markers in fasting blood. Linear regressions with hPDI as predictor and nutrient intake/status as outcome were adjusted for age, sex, socio-economic status, BMI, waist circumference, energy-intake, physical activity and smoking.ResultsThere was a strong correlation in hPDI after 10 years (Spearman = 0.56, p < 0.001). Determinants for adolescents’ plant-based diet were in descending order being a girl(β = 0.245;p < 0.001), a higher BMI(β = 0.140;p < 0.001), knowing the advantages(β = 0.104;p < 0.001), having availability over healthy food(β = 0.100;p < 0.001), high self-efficacy(β = 0.087;p < 0.001), health awareness(β = 0.072,p = 0.004), younger age(β = -0.048;p = 0.015) and better nutritional knowledge(β = 0.046;p = 0.020). In adolescents, hPDI was associated with lower energy intake, especially less overall fat, cholesterol, saturated fatty acids, mono-unsaturated fatty acids, proteins and mono/di-saccharides but more fibre. In micronutrients, higher intake of calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, zinc, copper, vitamin A, C, E, K but less vitamin B12 and D were detected. Concerning nutrient status, hPDI was related to higher low-density cholesterol, vitamin D, vitamin C and beta-carotene levels. In adults, hPDI was associated with lower energy intake, especially less overall fat, cholesterol, saturated fatty acids and mono-unsaturated fatty acids but more carbohydrates and fibre, magnesium and vitamin C; while not with nutrient status. Longitudinally, we confirmed the link with intake of more fiber, potassium and less cholesterol. Additionally, a longitudinal positive association with poly-unsaturated fat intake was seen.ConclusionTracking of hPDI over 10 years proved the importance of targeting these determinants in adolescents. The hPDI was indeed generally linked to a healthier dietary intake, especially more fiber, a healthier fat choice and higher vitamin intake except for lower vitamin B12 and D. Nevertheless, the latter two were not reflected in more deficiencies and nutrient status differences were limited.

The most of collected data samples from E-learning systems consist of correlated information caused by overlapping input instances, which decrease the classifier credibility and reliability. This paper presents an improved classification model based on Deep Learning and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method as its use in reducing the dimensionality of data. By this task, we introduce the best learning process to extract just the useful parameters that describe students’ per-formances in an E-learning system. One of the primary goals of this technique is to help earlier in detecting the dropouts and discovering of students who need special attention, so that the teachers could provide the appropriate counseling at the right time. This study presents the proposal approach and its algorithms. In addition, it shows how deep neural network was modeled in the training phase, and how PCA helps in the elimination of correlated information in our dataset to increase the classifier performance. Finally, we introduce an example of an appli-cation of the method in a data mining scenario, find out more references for fur-ther information.

Chronic energy deficiency is one of the nutritional problems of pregnant women where the body's condition experiences a severe lack of energy or is often showed by upper arm circumference <23.5. chronic energy deficiency of pregnant woman caused by many factors. one of the factors is low intake of nutrients such as energy, protein, vitamin c and iron. This study aims to determine the effect of nutritional counseling on energy, protein, vitamin c and iron intake. This type of research is a quasi experiment analytic research using cross sectional research design. sample was 30 pregnant women. extension data based on extension program unit then narrated nutrient intake obtained through 4X24 hour recall. the results of the study showed that before the extension of the sample energy intake was 96.7% less and 3.3% more. Sample protein intake as much as 100% less. Intake of vitamin C sample as much as 100% less. Sample iron intake is as much as 100% less. after counseling of sample energy intake as much as 3,3% good and 96,7% less. Sample protein intake as much as 100% less. Vitamin C intake was 3.3% good and 9.3% less and 6.7% more. Sample iron intake is as much as 100% less. Average intake before and after counseling of nutrients classified as less. It is recommended to increase nutrient intake. should be done further research on other factors that affect.

AbstractObjectivePotential error sources in nutrient estimation with the FFQ include inaccurate or biased recall and overestimation or underestimation of intake due to too many or too few items on the FFQ, respectively. Here we report the refinement of an FFQ that overestimated nutrient intake and its validation against multiple 24 h recalls.Study designData on 2527 participants in south India (Trivandrum) were available for the original FFQ (OFFQ) that overestimated nutrient intake (132 food items). After excluding participants with implausible energy intake estimates (<2·72 MJ/d (<650 kcal/d), >15·69 MJ/d (>3750 kcal/d)) we ran stepwise regression analyses with selected nutrients as the outcomes and food intake (servings/d) as predictor variables (n1867). From these results and expert consultation we refined the FFQ (RFFQ), and validated it by comparing intakes obtained with it and the mean of two 24 h recalls among 100 participants.ResultsThe OFFQ overestimated usual daily nutrient intake before and after exclusions [for energy: 13·39 (sd5·46) MJ (3201 (sd1305) kcal) and 10·96 (sd2·65) MJ (2619 (sd634) kcal), respectively]. In stepwise analyses, fifty-seven food items explained 90 % of the variance in nutrients; we retained thirteen food items because participants consumed them at least twice monthly and twelve food items that local nutritionists recommended. Mean energy intake estimated from the RFFQ (eighty-two food items) was 7·94 (sd2·05) MJ (1897 (sd489) kcal). The de-attenuated correlations between mean 24 h recall and RFFQ intakes ranged from 0·25 (vitamin A) to 0·82 (fat).ConclusionWe refined an FFQ that overestimated nutrient intake by shortening and redesigning, and validated it by comparisons with 24 h dietary recall data.

Vit C

Prolonged mastication may induce an asymmetric modification of the local perfusion of the trigeminal principal nucleus. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the possible influence of vitamin C (vit. C) on such effect. Four groups of healthy volunteers underwent arterial spin labeling magnetic resonance imaging (ASL-MRI) to evaluate the local perfusion of the trigeminal nuclei after a vit. C-enriched lunch or a control lunch. Two ASL-MRI scans were acquired, respectively, before and after a 1 h-long masticating exercise or a 1 h long resting period. The results showed (i) an increased global perfusion of the brain in the vit. C-enriched lunch groups, (ii) an increased local perfusion of the right principal trigeminal nucleus (Vp) due to mastication, and (iii) a reduction of the rightward asymmetry of the Vp perfusion, due to mastication, after the vit C-enriched meal compared to the control meal. These results confirmed a long-lasting effect of prolonged mastication on Vp perfusion and also suggest a possible effect of vit. C on cerebral vascular tone regulation. Moreover, the data strongly draw attention on the side-to-side relation in Vp perfusion as a possible physiological parameter to be considered to understand the origin of pathological conditions like migraine.

The Relationship

This study investigated the relationship between the intake of antioxidant nutrients and the suffering of cataracts in 177 institutionalized elderly people (61 men and 116 women) aged ≥ 65 years. Dietary intake was monitored for 7 consecutive days using a "precise individual weighing" method. Subjects, who during their earlier years were exposed by their work to sunlight, had a greater risk of suffering cataracts (OR = 3.2; Cl: 1.1–9.3, P < 0.05) than those who worked indoors. A relationship was found between increased vitamin C intake and a reduced prevalence of cataracts (i.e., when comparing those above P95 for vitamin C intake with those below P5; (OR = 0.08; Cl: 0.01–0.75, P 0.05). Among subjects with cataracts, 12.1% had vitamin C intakes of < 61 mg/day (P10) and only 2.2% had intakes of > 183 mg/day (P95) (p < 0.01). Subjects who consumed > 3290 μg/day (P95) of lutein were less likely to have cataracts (OR = 0.086; Cl: 0.007–1.084; p < 0.05) than those whose consumption was < 256 μg/day (P5). In men, high intakes of zeaxanthin seemed to provide a protective effect against the problem (OR = 0.96; Cl: 0.91–0.99; p < 0.05). The results suggest an association exists between exposure to sunlight and the development of cataracts, and that vitamin C, lutein, and zeaxanthin offer some protection against this disorder.

SummaryWe investigated the comparative antithrombotic properties of clopidogrel, an analogue of ticlopidine, and aspirin, using the Folts' model on femoral arteries in 22 pigs. On each animal, clopidogrel or aspirin were used to treat the thrombotic process on the left femoral artery and to prevent this process on the right femoral artery. Sequentially: an injury and stenosis were carried out on the left femoral artery; the thrombotic process was monitored with a Doppler during a 30-min observation period for cyclic flow reductions or permanent cessation of flow; after the first cyclic flow reduction occurred, clopidogrel (5 mg kg-1) or aspirin (2.5, 5, 100 mg kg-1) were injected intravenously; if cyclic flow reductions were abolished, epinephrine (0.4 µg kg-1 min-1) was injected to try to restore cyclic flow reductions and/or permanent cessation of flow; then injury and stenosis were applied on the right femoral artery. Before and after injection of clopidogrel or aspirin, ear immersion bleeding times and ex-vivo platelet aggregation were performed. Clopidogrel (n = 7) abolished cyclic flow reductions in all animals and epinephrine did not restore any cyclic flow reduction. On the right femoral artery, cyclic flow reductions were efficiently prevented, even for two injuries. Basal bleeding time (5 min 28) was lengthened (>15 min, 30 min after clopidogrel and remained prolonged even after 24 h). ADP-induced platelet aggregation was inhibited (more than 78%). Comparatively, aspirin had a moderate and no dose-dependent effect. Aspirin 2.5 mg kg-1 (n = 6) abolished cyclic flow reductions in 2 animals, CFR reoccurred spontaneously in one animal and epinephrine restored it in a second animal. Aspirin 5 mg kg-1 (n = 6) abolished cyclic flow reductions in only 3 animals and epinephrine always restored it. Aspirin 100 mg kg-1 (n = 3) was unable to abolish cyclic flow reductions. On the right femoral artery, aspirin did not significantly prevent cyclic flow reductions which occurred in all animals after one (n = 14) or two injuries (n = 1), except for one animal. Basal bleeding time was lengthened but it shortened rapidly, reaching its basal value after 24 h. ADP-induced aggregation was not significantly inhibited, whereas arachidonic acid induced aggregation was always inhibited. Clopidogrel appears as a more potent antithrombotic drug than aspirin in this model, in treating and preventing spontaneous or epinephrine-induced cyclic flow reductions and lengthening bleeding time.

Abstract Implementation of demonstration method in the teaching of chemistry is assigned as the right strategy to improve students’ achievement as it is proved that the method can bring an abstract concept to reality in the class. The study is conducted to vocational high school students in SMKN1 Pargetteng getteng Sengkut Pakfak Barat at accademic year 2013. The teaching has been carried out three cycles on the teaching of chemistry topic of colloid system. In the study, the class is divided into two class, experiment class and control class. The demontration method is used to teach students in experimental class while the teaching in control class is conducted with lecture method. Both are evaluated by using multiple choise tests before and after the teaching procedures, and the ability of students to answer the problems are assigned as students’ achievements. The results showed that demonstration method improved students’ achievement in chemistry. The students in experimental class who are taughed with demonstration method (M=19.08±0.74) have higher achievements compare with control class (M=12.91±2.52), and both are significantly different (tcalculation 22.85 > ttable 1.66). The effectivity of demostration method in experimental class (97%) is found higer compare to conventional method in control class (91%).
