{"title":"The impact of the Devaluation of the Surinamese Dollar (2015 –2016) on Food Intake in Suriname","authors":"Cheuk-A-Lam Gerani, D'Haese Marijke, VanLeeuwen John","doi":"10.31546/ijfsnr.1006","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.31546/ijfsnr.1006","url":null,"abstract":"Objective: A currency devaluation influences food prices and populations’ diet, especially in developing countries and within poorer households, resulting in the consumption of cheaper, and therefore often lower quality diets. Reduced consumption of high-quality foods restrains the protective health benefits of these foods towards the incidence of NCDs, and increases the risk of microand macronutrient deficiencies among populations that are already subject to food and nutrition insecurity. Despite global evidence of higher food prices directly affecting populations’ health status, and as such possibly jeopardizing economic performance and rural development, there has been no research conducted on the effect of rising food prices on food intake in Suriname yet. As such, the objective of this study was to assemble primary food consumption data, with respect to pre-and post-devaluation food intake patterns of Surinamese households. This with the goal to report changes in post-devaluation dietary intake, in order to better comprehend the future implications for health, facilitating evidence-based policy development and nutrition intervention planning. Results: Higher food prices resulted in low, middle and high-income groups increasing the expenditures on food (p <0.01). Reductions in the proportion of households’ significantly lowering the post-devaluation intake of high-quality foods, such as fruits, vegetables, lean meat and fatty fish were observed (p<0.01). Furthermore, changes in the intake of low-quality foods were witnessed as well, with proportions of households significantly reducing the intake of discretionary foods and terminating eating out-of-home (p <0.01). Conclusion: The fall of the Surinamese currency, in combination with country’s dependency on imported foods, increased local food prices and with salaries remaining the same, resulted in both lowerand higherincome households increasing their food expenditures. Post-devaluation changes in regular dietary pattern and food intake enrolled, with a significant reduction in the consumption of high-quality foods being noticed, especially within lower-economic households. On the one hand, significant proportions of Surinamese households possess a decreased probability of consuming healthy diets. On the other hand, households with also a significant reduction in the intake of low-quality foods might encounter a beneficial health impact if already coping with overweight and related non-communicable diseases.","PeriodicalId":370764,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition Research","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127104902","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":"A Monocentric Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial on the Effectiveness of Bioarginina® in Oral Administration for the Treatment of Asthenia in Patients without Associated Comorbidities","authors":"Cuomo O, Simeone G, M. M., Grieco F, Amella C, Alvisi V","doi":"10.31546/ijfsnr.1007","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.31546/ijfsnr.1007","url":null,"abstract":"In the last 6 decades a great debate about an idiopathic origin of moderate to severe asthenia was addressed by physicians. Asthenia is defined as a symptom of weakness related to different conditions. It can be associated to disabling symptoms such as sore throat, cervical and axillary lymphadenopathy, myalgia, arthralgia, migraine, concentration, memory and sleep disorders and malaise after physical efforts. Arginine is a conditionally essential amino acid that is involved in protein synthesis, the detoxification of ammonia, and its conversion to glucose as well as being catabolized to produce energy; in addition to these physiological functions, arginine has shown to have ergogenic potential. Arginine-based supplement may be used on an acute basis for delaying the onset of neuromuscular fatigue (i.e., PWCFT) and improving the ventilatory threshold. The present research was conducted according to an experimental double-blind controlled design (vs. placebo), with the aim to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of the Bioarginina® (1.66g/20ml vials of L-arginine) in oral administration. The changes in the parameters relevant to physical and/or mental fatigue, monitored for the evaluation of the efficacy of the experimental treatment, showed a clear difference in patients treated with Bioarginina® compared to those treated with placebo, with a statistically better trend in the Bioarginina® group than in the placebo group. The general conditions, especially at the end of the observation period, improved significantly in the Bioarginina® group compared to the placebo group. Overall, asthenia symptoms had a marked improvement in patients in the Bioarginina® group, with a reduction of almost 25% of their intensity after 30 days of therapy and over 70% at the end of the treatment; by contrast, in the placebo group, the symptomatology underwent to an impairment, assessable in the order of 14% after one month and 25% at the end of the therapy. Overall the results of the present study strongly support the effectiveness of oral Bioarginina® for the treatment of symptoms associated to asthenia and highlight the possibility of a clinical application of Bioarginina® in the treatment of asthenia.","PeriodicalId":370764,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition Research","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131581477","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}

Prospective observational studies and clinical trials have shown that individual nutrients, foods and dietary patterns are of importance in the prevention and management of type 2 diabetes [2]. Seaweed is one of the largest producers of biomass in marine environment and is a rich arsenal of functional ingredients which may possess the potential to prevent type 2 diabetes [3]. As reviewed by Holdt and Kraan [4], seaweeds contain, e.g., sulphated polysaccharides, carotenoid pigments and phlorotannins, a large group of polyphenols, displaying in vitro antioxidant activity, anti-diabeticand antiinflammatory properties. Several studies have shown, e.g., that seaweed extract inhibits α-amylase and α-glucosidase which are major carbohydrate hydrolysing enzymes in the small intestine [5,6,7]. This is of importance, because one of the therapeutic approaches in treating or preventing type 2 diabetes is to reduce postprandial hyperglycaemia by inhibiting major carbohydrate hydrolysing enzymes [8]. Antidiabetic effects were further confirmed in animal models of diabetes, where seaweed as part of animal food or extracts were successfully given per os or intraperitoneally to improve glucose metabolism in mice, rats and rabbits [9,10,11,12]. In agreement with this experimental evidence, a cross-sectional study found a negative relationship between dietary algae (seaweed) consumption and the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus in the Korean population [13].","PeriodicalId":370764,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition Research","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117277826","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}

There are risk factors of many chronic diseases relatively easy to modify such as obesity, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes or osteoporosis. Deficit and excess of component taken with food can affect nutritional status. The symptoms can often concern whole organism or particular organ or structure. The proper diet has huge importance for right formation of haematopoietic cells of bone marrow. Because of intensive divisions and maturation of cells, bone marrow is a structure which is very vulnerable to damaging agents activity. The damaging activity on bone marrow can manifest in extreme case as aplasia – entire decline of haematopoietic tissue which yield inhibition of morphotic blood elements, or hypoplasia – partial damage of haematopoietic tissue. It has been long since known that the lack of good quality proteins, ferrum and energy value in diet impact on erythrogenesis [1,5,10]. There are also other agents which impair bone marrow such as gamma rays, cobalt, benzene and arsenic (III) compounds. However, the influence of particular diet stillstays the open issue which is worth devoting attention of researchers. This kind of researches have also high innovative potential with ability to make of the results in prevention of some diseases.","PeriodicalId":370764,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition Research","volume":"207 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134091854","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}
