Fourty infants were used for the four-week intervention study. The haemoglobin (Hb), serum ferritin (SF) and serum retinol (SR) levels of the infants were determined at baseline and at the end of the study. The infants were randomly assigned to test group (TG) and control group (CG) (n = 20). Infants in the TG received MTCF with Moringa oleifera leaf while the CG had only MTCF. For the TG, the mean Hb increased from 10.65 to 12.98 g dl−1. The proportion of the infants with SF levels below 12 μg l−1 fell from 90% to 5% and those with SR levels below 20 μg dl−1 fell from 85% to 15%. There were no significant changes in the mean Hb, SF and SR levels of infants in the CG.","PeriodicalId":14113,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Food Safety, Nutrition and Public Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91282292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 144 households were arrived at using multistage sampling, structured questionnaires with food frequency tables and 24-hour recalls were administered and anthropometric measurements taken. Linear regression tested statistical associations between variables. Epi Info was used to compute nutrition indices later assessed relative to National Centre for Health Statistics and World Health Organization. Only 3% of pre-school children had consumed highly diversified diets and consumption. Stunting was the most prevalent form of malnutrition and malaria was the most prevalent childhood infection. About 7%, 3.6% and 8.1% of changes in underweight, stunting and wasting, respectively, could be attributed to changes in dietary diversity. An r 2 of 0.284 was obtained between nutrition status and morbidity. To enhance children's nutrition and health status, efforts should be on strategies that increase dietary diversity.","PeriodicalId":14113,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Food Safety, Nutrition and Public Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79812254","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We aimed to assess the serum magnesium level in asthmatic children and evaluate the effect of corticosteroid treatment on it. The study included 89 chronic asthmatic children aged 5-15 years receiving inhaled fluticasone propionate and short courses of oral methyl prednisolone during exacerbation. About 12 of them stopped steroid treatment three months before inclusion in the study. About 27 healthy children served as controls. Serum magnesium was significantly lower in asthmatics receiving steroid compared to controls and to those not receiving steroid. No significant difference was found between asthmatics not receiving steroid and controls. A significant negative correlation was found between serum magnesium and frequency of oral corticosteroid. Thus, use of corticosteroid in asthmatics reduces magnesium level with recovery to normal after steroid cessation. Magnesium supplementation is recommended to those receiving steroid.","PeriodicalId":14113,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Food Safety, Nutrition and Public Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78840995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rats were classified in groups as control, sham, diabetic, diabetic received flaxseed oil in the diet, ovx, ovx-diabetic and ovx-diabetic received flaxseed oil in the diet. After two months, urine and blood samples were collected. Serum IGF-1 and osteocalcin were increased in ovx and diabetic ovx groups; their lowest levels were detected in the diabetic group. Upon adding flaxseed oil, their mean values were normalised. Urinary deoxypyridinoline was increased in diabetic group; the level was decreased as rats received flaxseed oil. Bone mineral density and content in diabetic group were reduced and normalised after receiving flaxseed oil. So, diabetes has more pronounced effect on bone health than ovariectomy, and flaxseed oil has beneficial effect on the prevention of osteoporosis.","PeriodicalId":14113,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Food Safety, Nutrition and Public Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87975494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Detection and measurement of irradiation dose in food are an essential element of food safety and quality. This study aimed to estimate shelf-life of chicken samples which have been stored frozen for up to 12 months (at −18 ± 1° C) after being irradiated at 7 kGy (food and drug administration recommended dose) using gamma rays. Simple detection methods were employed in this experiment; the determination of 2-dodecylcyclobutanone and evaluation of the total plate count. The combined use of these two methods (chemical and microbial) enabled successful identification of the dose applied and accurate estimation of storage period (shelf-life) of frozen chicken samples. The reported results are promising and can possibly advocate; quality, safety and traceability of irradiated foods particularly at the retailer's shelves.","PeriodicalId":14113,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Food Safety, Nutrition and Public Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89853100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
