Understanding the relationship between severe malnutrition and thyroid hormone status is crucial for the effective management of these children. Aim and Objective: To investigate the prevalence and patterns of thyroid hormone abnormalities in severely malnourished patients with subgroup analysis in Marasmus, Kwashiorkor, and edematous malnourished patients. Methodology: We conducted a cross-sectional study involving 116 children diagnosed with severe acute malnutrition (SAM). The study protocol was approved by the Institution Ethics Committee. Well-informed written consent in the local language was taken from parents. SAM was diagnosed and managed according to WHO criteria (1). Comprehensive laboratory investigations were conducted to assess serum levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (T4), and triiodothyronine (T3). Statistical analysis was performed to examine the associations between these variables and SAM. Results: Most of the 116 subjects included in the study were male (53.4%) and had a lower socioeconomic status (43.9%). The age distribution of the children aged below 5 years revealed that 46.5% were between 12 and 36 months old. In the present study, Marasmus was 55.2%, Kwashiorkor was 12.1%, and edematous malnutrition was 32.7%. Among 116 participants, 94.8% were discharged, while 5.2% were expired during treatment. The mean levels of fT3, fT4, and TSH were 1.88±1.06 pg/ml, 0.99±0.84 ng/dl, and 3.22±0.87 µIU/ml, respectively. Most SAM patients had low fT3, fT4, and TSH levels relative to the normal range. Conclusion: Monitoring of thyroid hormone status in SAM patients is mandatory for this vulnerable population.","PeriodicalId":43030,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Child Health and Nutrition","volume":"21 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139173305","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}

Evidence about its aetiology is still missing, and preventive strategies can’t be established. The aim of this study was to systematically review the literature on possible correlations between maternal and infant nutrition during the first thousand days of life and the occurrence of MIH. \u0000Methods: Literature searches of free text and MeSH terms were performed using MedLine (PubMed), Scopus and Google Scholar (from 2017 to February 1st, 2023). \u0000Results: The search strategy identified 1815 potential articles: 99 from PubMed, 6 from Scopus, and 1710 from Google Scholar. After removing duplicates, papers not meeting the inclusion criteria or being irrelevant, 6 papers were included. They were published between 2019-2022 and were clinical trials or longitudinal studies conducted in Egypt, New Zealand, Turkey, Denmark, Germany and Norway. The sample size was 2005 subjects (mean: 334). All reporting data on MIH was diagnosed according to the European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry criteria. The nutritional exposure variables were: i) malnutrition; ii) vitamin D serum levels in the mother and the child at different stages; iii) celiac disease; iv) the type of infant feeding, such as exclusive breastfeeding and/or type of weaning; v) supplementation with high-dose vitamin D during pregnancy. \u0000Conclusion: High-dose vitamin D supplementation during pregnancy may be protective against MIH in children.

Edible insects are common and are included in diets such as pastries, cookies, pasta, pies, flours, biscuits, candies, bars, chocolates, beverages, alcoholics, and so on. Methods: The current price of insect-incorporated foods and conventional foods in the grocery stores online were analyzed and compared. The architectural sketch of insect integrated rearing system. Edible insects can be reared to harvest or sourced from the wild, cleaned, steamed, and oven-heated before blending into fine powders for additives. The smooth powder is milled with other food ingredients before they are mixed thoroughly, pounded, baked, and cut into sizes. Results: The nutritional information of insect food and feed was higher than conventional products. Prices of all the conventional commodities were higher except for insect beverages ($14.83≈11,274 nairas) and bars ($22.30≈16,945 naira) (P<0.05). Marketable insect feed products are lacking, probably due to a lack of entrepreneurial intervention in this line of production. Conclusions: Considering the environment, insects have much more advantages. Foods of insects are quite cheap and encouraged in Asia-pacific than in the African region. The environmental, economic, and nutritional values of insects are equally an advantage over other animals. Modeling the price of edible insect foods is paramount to large-scale production. Concerted efforts and legislation are therefore required to promote this innovation in developing and under-developing nations.","PeriodicalId":43030,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Child Health and Nutrition","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135536582","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}

Limb movements during children’s active time are essential for heart, bone, and muscle health, setting the stage for an overall active and healthy life. School recess, defined as child-directed, outdoor play, is optimal for children to accumulate many types and repetitions of limb movements. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to use the Movement Pattern Observation Tool (MPOT) to determine the impact of varying amounts of daily recess on elementary-aged children’s limb movement patterns. It was hypothesized that children who participate in 60 minutes of daily recess would accumulate significantly more limb movements and specifically, contralateral movements as they advance in grades. Methods: This cross-sectional, observational study used the MPOT to observe grades K-2 children from two schools offering one twenty-minute recess daily and two schools offering four 15-minute recesses daily. The researchers observed 3,023 children’s limb movements during recess across the schools. There were 36 total observation scans completed for the four schools observed. Results: Children who received 60 minutes of recess maintained significantly higher activity levels and contralateral movements as they advanced by grade. Additionally, on average 96% of all children utilized unilateral, bilateral, or contralateral limb movements when observed. Conclusion: When given the opportunity, most children will utilize recess in a way that is beneficial for off-setting inactivity trends and is instrumental for a healthy mind-body connection as they age.","PeriodicalId":43030,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Child Health and Nutrition","volume":"183 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135259496","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}
