Nutrient surplus and deficiency are possibilities when supplemental feeding is unbalanced. However, little is known about what kids should eat once they are discharged from the hospital. Since many bodily processes depend on micronutrients, it's critical to plan supplemental nutrition with an optimum consumption in mind. This written summary describes the requirements for long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA), iron, zinc, vitamin D, calcium, and phosphate for premature newborns receiving supplemental feeding. The scientific community is beginning to acknowledge the advantages of giving premature babies iron and vitamin D supplements. But as of right now, there isn't enough information available to make firm recommendations about the addition of calcium, phosphorus, zinc, and LCPUFAs. Nonetheless, the health of premature infants depends on the following micronutrients: Large chain polyunsaturated fats (LCPUFAs) support the development of the retina and brain, while calcium and phosphorus dosages are necessary to prevent metabolic bone disease (MBD) in preterm infants. It is obvious how understanding the variability of the premature population may help adapt nutritional planning in connection to the development rate, comorbidities, and thorough clinical history of the preterm newborn, even while we wait for consensus on these micronutrients.","PeriodicalId":342483,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Preventive Medicine","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140694262","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}

{"title":"The Role of Low Lactose Feeding for Preventing Childhood Malnutrition and Long-Term Gut Damage Caused by Recurrent Diarrhoeal Disease","authors":"Nurul Islam, Biplob Raha, Samia Chharra, Shamsuzzaman Prodhan, Ariful Haque, Nazmul Hassan","doi":"10.11648/j.ejpm.20241202.11","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.11648/j.ejpm.20241202.11","url":null,"abstract":"Even though it has decreased over the past three decades, diarrheal sickness continues to be a major global cause of death for children. There is a strong correlation between childhood rotavirus, diarrhea, climate factors, and malnutrition. On the other hand, a significant nutritional shift (lower levels of undernutrition) among children mal five has been documented in the last ten years, especially in developing nations like Bangladesh, where rotavirus infection has also been on the rise. Given the pathophysiology of rotavirus, there may be a link between the changing diet, the environment, and other artificial factors in urban areas such as Dhaka, Bangladesh, and the rise in rotavirus infections. Under-five malnutrition is still a major problem in Bangladesh, despite significant socioeconomic progress and ten years of initiatives to reduce it. Many research have been conducted in an attempt to identify the primary risk factors for malnutrition; however, none of these have looked into the importance of low birth weight (LBW) 36%. Bangladesh has seen a notable decline in the incidence of pediatric diarrhea deaths in recent decades. Over the past few decades, Bangladesh, a heavily populated country with limited resources, has managed to achieve a notable reduction in the death rate of pediatric diarrhea. Some of the obstacles that still need to be overcome in order to further lower the burden of disease and mortality brought on by diarrhea are enhancing hand hygiene practices, expanding zinc coverage for diarrhea treatment, and maintaining nutritional improvement. To increase intervention coverage and hasten the end of diarrheal mortality among children in Bangladesh, ongoing collaboration with non-governmental organizations and the private sector is necessary, as is the adoption of pluralistic health system platforms for the delivery of preventative and curative services.","PeriodicalId":342483,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Preventive Medicine","volume":"15 23‐24","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140715419","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}

Small-sized VS are associated with communicating or non-communicating hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus in VS patients can persist or worsen post-tumor removal. Gamma knife radiosurgery is effective, especially in younger patients with functional hearing. Although the causal relationship between gamma knife radiosurgery and hydrocephalus isn't firmly established, this case reports a possible association between developing hydrocephalus and Vestibular schwannoma. Elevated CSF protein suggests communicating hydrocephalus due to tumor necrosis. The rarity of hydrocephalus post-gamma knife surgery likely relates to tumor variations rather than procedural nuances. Gamma Knife radiosurgery for vestibular schwannomas can lead to communicative hydrocephalus. MR imaging, including pre- and post-treatment scans, along with MR CSF cine-flow studies, highlights the link between gamma knife involvement and hydrocephalus development. Despite the rarity, this negative outcome underscores the need for careful consideration and investigation of risk factors associated with hydrocephalus post-radiosurgery. A middle aged man with vestibular schwannoma was investigated in this case. Patient was procedure through gamma knife radiosurgery for vestibular schwannoma. Patient was passed through MR scans before the radio surgical procedure and 9 months past surgical procedure. Nine months later, severe ventriculomegaly was observed, revealing central necrosis in the tumor. Lumbar puncture indicated abnormal CSF characteristics without evidence of infection. Despite a failed endoscopic third ventriculostomy, MR imaging cine-flow studies confirmed free CSF flow, emphasizing the complexity of managing hydrocephalus post-gamma knife radiosurgery for vestibular schwannomas. VS typically occurs in older individuals, this case's younger age and optimal tumor size for gamma knife treatment add complexity. Faster-growing and larger tumors are more prone to post-treatment necrosis and hydrocephalus, necessitating careful management. MR cine-flow aids in hydrocephalus differentiation.","PeriodicalId":342483,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Preventive Medicine","volume":"36 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140411721","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}

This study aimed to evaluate the determinants of hypertension knowledge in rural Guinea, a less-explored demographic. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from March 01 to April 2023 within the Maferinyah sub-district and employed multivariate logistic regression to analyze the relationship between hypertension knowledge and various demographic characteristics. Results: The study included 701 individuals aged 16–65 years (mean age 38 years), with a predominance of women (68.3%) and those without formal education (62.8%). Key findings revealed that high economic status (aOR= 2.97; 95% CI: 1.91 - 4.64), age brackets of 41-50 years (aOR= 6.30; 95% CI: 3.51 - 11.5), 30-40 years (aOR= 4.74; 95% CI: 2.89 - 7.90), over 50 years (aOR= 4.13; 95% CI: 2.51 - 6.87), and unemployment (aOR= 2.60; 95% CI: 1.75 - 3.89) were significantly associated with higher hypertension awareness. Conclusion: Analysis of the collected data highlights a notable deficit in awareness of hypertension and its associated risk factors among the rural population of Guinea, underscoring the urgent need for targeted educational and awareness initiatives, especially among younger populations, to improve the understanding and management of Hypertension and other non-communicable diseases.","PeriodicalId":342483,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Preventive Medicine","volume":"2 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140409954","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}
