Diabetes patients are vulnerable to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. Therefore, challenges arise concerning how to manage nutrition support to strengthen the immune system in diabetes patients. The purpose of this paper is to review the roles of macronutrients and specific micronutrients such as vitamin D, B12, folate, selenium, and zinc in supporting the immune system and examine the nutritional management method of diabetes patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Evidence indicates that adequate amounts of protein, high omega-3 fatty acids, low refined sugars, high fiber content such as whole grains, and micronutrients including vitamin D, Bsub>12, folate, selenium, and zinc impact immune system function in diabetes patients. Consumption of a balanced diet with these nutrients is best to support the immune system in diabetes patients during the COVID-19 pandemic.

ABSTRACT Background: This hospital-based study aimed to evaluate the nutritional status and dietary habits for COVID-19 patients, the amount of nutrients provided to the patients in the hospital and to detect the predictors of severity among COVID-19 patients in Jordan. Methods: A hospital-based study (N = 367, mean age 42.3, SD 15.4, 66.0% men) was conducted between March 17th and July 25th, 2020 in Prince Hamza Hospital. Data about socio-demographic, anthropometric, dietary habits, and macro-and micronutrient were collected from the patients’ medical files and some missing data were collected by phone directly from the patients. Results: The results of the linear regression only age was significantly and positively (ß=0.454, p-value=0.001) associated with severity of the disease among the study patients. Around 57% of the COVID-19 patients consumed three meals daily, while around 31-34% consumed one to two snacks daily. The majority (64%) of the patients drank more than five cups of water daily. About 24% of the patients complained of eating problems such as taste and/or smell loss, low appetite, and swallowing difficulty. The intakes of the vitamins B1, B2, B3, and B6 and vitamin C, as well as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, selenium and sodium, were within the recommended dietary allowances (RDA). Conclusion: The servings of the five food groups as well as most of the macro-and micronutrient requirements were within the recommended intakes and RDA.

Often in extremely preterm newborns in the early postnatal daysproblems in fluid and electrolyte balance occur Due to excessive insensible water loss and renal immaturity. The dietary care of newborn newborns is challenged by the demands of growth and organ development. The stress of a serious disease makes it much more difficult to get enough nourishment. Newborns andespecially premature newborns must be assessed thoroughly for fluid and electrolytes balance. Calculating the fluid and electrolyte demand for sustaining metabolic activities, replacing losses (evaporative, third space, external), and considering pre-existing fluid imbalance are all part of effective fluid and electrolyte management. When a neonate's size or condition prevents them from receiving enteral nutrition, parenteral nutrition can help them grow and thrive. Although eating through the gastrointestinal tract is the recommended method of nutritional management, some situations necessitate the use of PN as an adjuvant or sole treatment. In this article we discuss fluid electrolytes and Nutritional management using parenteral nutrition.

Background The use of enteral nutrients plays a highly important role in accurate nutrition management, but limited information is currently available on the cautionary points of semi-solid enteral nutrients. Aim In this study, we examined whether the pharmacokinetic profiles of sodium valproate (SVA), levetiracetam (LEV), and carbamazepine (CBZ) are affected by altering the dosing time of RACOL®-NF Semi Solid for Enteral Use (RASS), a prescribed semi-solid formula. We also investigated whether the pharmacokinetic interaction observed in this study can be avoided by staggered dosing of the chemical drug and semi-solid enteral nutrient. Methods The plasma concentration of SVA, LEV and CBZ after oral administration was measured by LC-MS/MS method. Results There was no difference in pharmacokinetic characteristics of SVA and LEV when the dosing time of RASS was altered. On the other hand, the plasma concentration of CBZ after oral administration at all sampling points decreased with the extension of the dosing time of RASS, which was consistent with the Cmax and AUC. However, no significant difference was observed in the pharmacokinetic profiles or parameters of CBZ between the short-term and long-term RASS dosing groups by prolonging the administered interval of CBZ and RASS for 2 hr. Conclusion We concluded that the pharmacokinetic profiles of CBZ, but not SVA and LEV, after its oral administration are affected by the dosing time of RASS, but staggered administration of CBZ and RASS prevented their interaction.

Abstract From 2017 to 2020, research was conducted in the Volgograd region in order to improve the efficiency of water and mineral nutrition management of onions by justifying the calculated layer of soil moisture and agrotechnical methods of cultivation on light chestnut soils to obtain 110 t/ha of marketable products. The main objectives of the research include the rationale for the formation of the water regime of the soil and drip irrigation regimes depending on the wetted soil, the study of patterns of growth, development and yield formation of onion depending on the studied factors, economic and environmental assessment of drip irrigation technology, the quality of the bulbs, depending on the studied factors. The field experience included the following options: water regime of the soil (factor A), mineral nutrition regime (factor B), promising onion hybrids (factor C).The studies were carried out on onion crops C1 – Migros F1; C2 – Dragon F1 ; C3 - Dammica F1. Against the background of the introduction of N180P80K70, the Migros F1 hybrid provides an average of 94.3 t/ha of onions in 3 years of research, which is 16.6 t/ha more in comparison with the Dragon F1 onion; and 2.2 t/ha more in the Dammica F1 hybrid.

Abstract Good nutrition and water conditions are significant in a hydroponic system. Nutrients in hydroponic systems are periodically re-mixed to target the right amount of TDS. The TDS amount needs to be regularly measured after the weather changes, namely temperature, humidity, light intensity, and rainfall. The research proposes developing a solar-powered Internet of Things (IoT) based Smart Hydroponic Nutrition Management System using Fuzzy Association Rule Mining (FARM). The system consists of an IoT connected to a TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) sensor, a relay module connected to two 5v mini pumps that supply AB Mix nutrients, and a solenoid valve to supply water. The IoT system is also connected to sensors for temperature and humidity, light intensity, and rainfall to record the causes of weather changes that cause changes in TDS in hydroponic water. FARM is used to extract fuzzy association rules (FAR) from IoT sensors. The system targets a TDS of 1200 for leafy plants such as lettuce. The system prototype was developed in a small 5×7cm single layer PCB using the wire-wrapping technique. The test results produce a standard deviation of 2.345 for the TDS average of 1196.17 and threshold 50. In one week of evaluation, three times of rain and four times of hot weather were considered to change the TDS, and seven actions of the relay module were carried out. FARM has extracted fuzzy rules with average support of 0.401 and confidence of 0.826.
