The food composition database (FCDB) is a tool that provides a comprehensive information on the various nutrients present in food. It comprises quantitative values of micro and macronutrients found in food that is compiled in an electronic form. Further, the need to develop a national FCDB for each country has been emphasized by health authorities and is greatly important at various levels. The global status of FCDB has improved significantly over the past few decades. Currently, most of the developed countries have established their own national FCDBs, which are standardized and updated on regular basis. On the other hand, challenges still remain in establishing these databases in developing countries, which either lack or keep incomplete and outdated FCDBs. Thus, they mostly rely on overseas or readily available FCDBs, which will ultimately give a rough estimate of nutrients and produce significant errors in nutritional assessment. However, it is massively important to start establishing their own national databases which will undeniably lead to more accurate dietary assessment and food labels, as well as better-targeted nutrition programs and fortification policies in these countries.","PeriodicalId":14233,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nutrition, Pharmacology, Neurological Diseases","volume":"75 1","pages":"240 - 242"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139326198","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}

In undeveloped nations, it contributes to premature births and an increase in number of infant and child mortality. The survival rates of high-risk groups have gradually increased in recent years. Preterm births are becoming more common: 11% of births globally take place before 37 weeks of pregnancy. As nutritional care advances in both wealthy and developing nations, the survival rate of preterm infants keeps rising. To promote normal growth and prevent postnatal malnutrition, which may have an impact on long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes, it is crucial to give preterm infants enough protein during the postnatal period. Given that the size, structure, connectivity, and function of the brain develop during infancy, postnatal brain maturation in preterm infants is hindered. There is inconclusive evidence that increased parenteral nutrition amino acid (AA) intake has no impact on mortality. There is limited solid proof to suggest that increasing AA use is associated with a decreased risk of postpartum growth spurts. To find out whether birth weight or gestational age affect nutritional intake of preterm newborns, more research is required. Because the choice to perform life-saving measures is frequently made after the procedure, it is crucial to understand the incidence and severity of adverse events in infants who are extremely preterm. Hence, this article discusses the use of AAs in extremely preterm infants.","PeriodicalId":14233,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nutrition, Pharmacology, Neurological Diseases","volume":"109 1","pages":"215 - 218"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139326566","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}

Nurses, being at the frontline of healthcare, play a vital role in promoting patient safety and maintaining safety standards by being active in reducing medical errors. Weak patient safety culture has been identified as one of the major contributing factors to adverse events. Objectives: The present case investigated the different perceptions around patient safety culture and the factors considered of utmost importance to developing and maintaining this culture among nurses residing and working in Qatar. Methods: The present study utilized the English version of the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC) to collect responses from nurses residing and working in Qatar to determine their perceptions of patient safety culture. A convenient sample from the conference delegates of Middle East Forum for Quality and Safety 2018 was used as participants. Participation in the self-reporting survey was completely voluntary and anonymous. Results: The highest rated culture dimensions were organizational learning, continuous improvement, and teamwork within hospital units (89% and 88% positive responses, respectively). The lowest rated dimensions were non-punitive responses to error and staffing issues (28% and 35% positive responses, respectively). Conclusions/Implications for Practice: Similar to the global trends, error reporting should be viewed as a strategy to learn from mistakes and an initial step to create patient safety culture. In Qatar, while patient safety culture is generally well executed, with overall positive responses for the different measured composites, patient safety culture is yet to be fully developed. Initiatives are needed to improve staffing, handoffs, and transitions, as well as non-punitive responses to medical errors.","PeriodicalId":14233,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nutrition, Pharmacology, Neurological Diseases","volume":"07 1","pages":"272 - 275"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139325476","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}

Methods: Phytochemical screening of the ethanol extract of C. indica was performed by GC–MS analysis. The cell viability of SH-SY5Y cells was assessed by a neutral red uptake assay, and neuroprotective effects were evaluated against the Aβ25–35 toxicity in SH-SY5Y cells experienced pretreatment with plant extracts. In acute and sub-chronic toxicity studies were conducted according to the OECD guidelines to ascertain the toxicity profile in Swiss Albino mice. The ameliorative effect of the extract was measured by behavioral test on drug-induced learning and memory impairment in mice. Results: Fifteen phytochemical compounds were revealed in GC–MS. Inhibitory concentration (IC50) was found to be >100 μg/mL on SH-SY5Ycells. Protection of SH-SY5Y cells from Aβ25-35-induced toxicity at the concentration of 25 μg/mL was observed. No clinical toxicity signs were observed in the plant treated group when compared to the control group in both acute and sub-chronic toxicity studies at the maximum of 2000 mg/kg dose. The oral lethal median dose (LD50) was estimated to be >2000 mg/kg. There was a reduction of the scopolamine-induced amnesia observed in the passive avoidance test at 100 mg/kg. Conclusion: The results conclude that C. indica extracts might contain potent secondary metabolites that might primarily enhance the neuroprotective effects and improve in cognitive impairments induced by cholinergic dysfunction.","PeriodicalId":14233,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nutrition, Pharmacology, Neurological Diseases","volume":"40 1","pages":"259 - 271"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139329061","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}

Research states that these nutrients of plantain flowers have many therapeutic benefits. The flavonoids known as phytoestrogens have a beneficial role against estrogen deficiency in the body and are considered good for women’s health. Though there is a surplus availability of plantain flower in India, it is not well utilized by many people, especially in South India. Aim: To develop and evaluate the flavonoid-rich plantain flower laddu. Method: The plantain flower procured from the local farm was processed and powdered. Laddu was prepared using plantain flower powder at different concentrations (10%, 20%, and 30%) and standardized by mixing it with roasted Bengal gram, sesame seeds, powdered sugar, and ghee. The sensory evaluation was done using 17 semitrained panel members on a 5-point hedonic rating scale and the accepted product was nutritionally analyzed. Results: The plantain flower laddu with a 20% variation showed better overall acceptability (21.8 + 2.79) when compared to laddu with 10% and 30% variations. There was a significant difference at a 1% level among 10%, 20%, and 30% variations. The 20% level incorporation had a high product acceptability index of 88% compared to the 10% and 30% levels. The product nutrient analysis indicated the following values per 100 gm; potassium: 1747 mg, calcium: 205 mg, magnesium: 153 mg, iron: 2.95 mg, sodium: 41.1 mg, flavonoids: 4.69 mg, total phenol content: 2.74 mg, energy: 397 kcal, protein: 10.9 gm, fat: 14.9 gm, and fiber: 8.2 gm.

Brown rice (Oryza sativa) is a healthy grain that has several advantages for infant health compared to white rice. It is one of the healthiest and most researched forms of rice that contains complex carbohydrate giving the feel of satiety and fullness. Due to its high natural nutrition content and fiber content, BR cereal makes the ideal first solid food for infants. Aim: In the current study, the impact of freeze and vacuum drying on the retention of macro and micronutrients was examined. Methods: Freeze drying was carried out at a temperature − 45° ± 5 °C under a vacuum of 10 Pa absolute pressure and vaccum drying was carried out at 40 °C with a vacuum pressure of 76 cm Hg. The proximate composition and micronutrient were analysed as per standard Association of official analytical collaboration (AOAC) methods. Atomic absorption spectroscopy and high-performance liquid chromatography were used to determine the minerals and vitamins in the products and samples. Results: The micronutrient content of the freeze-dried sample was found to contain 42.87 ± 0.13 mg/100 g of potassium, 6.6 ± 0.10 mg/100 g of sodium, 1.39 ± 0.02 mg/100 g of iron, 1.25 ± 0.01 of zinc, and 0.45 ± 0.02 mg/100 g of vitamin B6, whereas the micronutrient content of vacuum-dried powder contains 40.21 ± 0.09 mg/100 g of potassium, 6.4 ± 0.11 mg/100 g of sodium, 1.25 ± 0.01 mg/100 g of iron, 1.08 ± 0.02 of zinc, and 0.42 ± 0.02 mg/100 g of vitamin B6.
