High proportion of pregnant women affected with poor nutrition which leads them to unhealthy and distress condition. Nutritional problem alongside difficulty of ecological exacerbates public health problem. Determining the extent of problems and predicting marked health indicator require extensive studies to improve pregnant women health to reduce maternal in lowland distracts.Objective: This study aimed to determine the magnitude of malnutrition among pregnant women and associated factors in the central rift valley of Ethiopia, 2016.Methods: Community based cross-sectional study design was conducted using quantitative data collection method. Study area was selected using Handy® GPS system. Systematic sampling was used to select 616 pregnant women. Nutritional status of study participants were identified using MUAC tape, Height and Weight measured using stand standard height and weight digital scale. Blood sample was taken using Hb 301 Microcuvettes and determined hemoglobin level with HemoCue Hb 301® Analyzer. Hb level was adjusted for Altitude and trimesters. The collected data was entered and analyzed by SPPS version 20.Result: The prevalence of malnutrition among pregnant women was 31.8%. MUAC <21 cm had significant association with Hemoglobin <11 g/dl accounted for 42%. MUAC (AOR, 2.39; 95%CI (1.7, 3.5), Height (AOR, 3.55; 95%CI (2.14, 5.87), ANC services dissatisfaction (AOR, 1.66; 95%CI (1.18, 2.34) and utilized family planning method (AOR, 0.55, 95%CI (0.38, 0.81) were factors associated with maternal malnutrition. Moreover, hypertension 3.9%, severe anemia 0.8%, observed edema 1.9%, and reported infections 4.4 were prevalence in the study population.Conclusion: Maternal malnutrition is highly prevalent in the study area. Anemia, short stature, MUAC<21 cm, ANC service dissatisfaction, not utilizing family planning, teen age pregnancy were the most occurring maternal malnutrition. Integrated programs works are needed to feel the gap for women focused intervention specifically for ecological affected districts.","PeriodicalId":90227,"journal":{"name":"Journal of nutritional disorders & therapy","volume":"8 1","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4172/2161-0509.1000222","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70449528","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}

Chicken eggshell can be an excellent source of calcium. Sun-dried mushrooms are a richer source of vitamin D as they contain ergosterol which gets converted to active form of vitamin D by action of UV rays of sun. The chicken eggshell and sun-dried white button mushroom powder was prepared. The calcium, vitamin D, B1, B6, C and B12 content was estimated in the developed supplement by laboratory analysis. The supplement prepared was subjected to sensory analysis to check its acceptability by incorporating it to six commonly consumed Indian food preparations items (dal curry, chapatti, parantha, curd, nankhatai and milk) as per the dosage in one serving i.e. 1 g eggshell powder: 1 g sun-dried mushrooms, keeping in mind the upper limits of intake. Results infer that the prepared supplement can be best accepted in baked food products like nankhatai etc. The shelf life of the developed supplement was found out to be for 6 months. The calcium and vitamin D supplement prepared can be promoted in the community to utilize the maximum benefits of low cost natural sources of calcium and vitamin D in comparison with traditional richer sources available in the market. Developed value added product also be used during emergencies and disasters to meet nutritional requirements of the deficit population.","PeriodicalId":90227,"journal":{"name":"Journal of nutritional disorders & therapy","volume":"8 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70449532","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}

Much has been recommended by governments and health agencies who mention that, to reduce the weight of a society or a country as a whole, we all need to eat less calories and move more, but unfortunately, this recommendation has not contributed to reduce even a gram in the weight of the population of the obese countries, instead, it has allowed a daily progress of this pandemia, increasing the expenses in health services and medicines, that in the present day are hard to sustain. Reducing the weight of an obese society is not easy task due to the many interests that compose the problem, but in fact it is very possible.

For the purpose to assess the effect of bigger size silver nano particles on body nutritional status, a serial oral application of silver nanoparticle colloidal stirring cool solution has been made upon pregnant Swiss Albino mice. On serial application (Daily once in morning 9 am continuously from 6 to 19 gestational ages) by repeated gavages during pregnancy pass through portal venous circulation towards liver after gastro intestinal tract absorption hampers mother nutrition by blocking intra hepatic billiary radical and also drastically affect fetal nutrition following same mechanism after crossing blood placental barrier due to gradual accumulation. The present research investigates whether orally induce colloidal silver nanoparticles (AgNps) reach after crossing mother mouse blood placental barrier and induce adverse effects in fetuses from treated group. \u0000Pregnant Swiss Albino female mouse from treated group are exposed during the first 13 days of gestation by serial oral bolotic application of bigger size silvernano colloid stirring cool solution at volume of 6, 12, 18, 24 mg/kg b.w. corresponds to individual group when compared with double distilled water vehicle control. Black ash colored bigger silver nanoparticles are identified scattered in maternal and fetal liver, upper GI tissues, placental and umbilical cord tissues of pregnant mother and fetuses after cesarean section and organ removal in gross , histological and TEM view. Particles are found in chronic depositative manner severely blocking portal triad of liver, IHBR and portovenous route. Transmission electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive spectroscopy confirmed the size range of particle silvernano from 71 to 1900 nm range. \u0000Serial oral ingestion of bigger size AgNps results in increased number of resorbed and malnutriated fetuses associated with reduced mother body and liver (sink & weak) weight and diet. Increased expression of particle accumulation is also detected in the placental cut section of treated groups. The acquired results indicates bigger size nanosilver are able to reach fetus after crossing the pregnant mouse blood placental barrier and portovenous circulation causing hamper of mother and fetus nutrition by obstruction of micro and macro channels. Henceforth as a conclusion, it is wise to take precaution with respect to oral exposure of bigger size silvernanoparticles during pregnancy.","PeriodicalId":90227,"journal":{"name":"Journal of nutritional disorders & therapy","volume":" ","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4172/2161-0509.1000221","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48022769","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}

NC/Nga mice were induced to exhibit AD lesions by treating them with Dermatophagoides farina extract for 2 weeks and PC was orally administered for a further 4 weeks. The dermatitis score and histopathologic parameters were observed from 1 week after AD induction (the acute phase of AD) to 4 weeks after AD induction (the chronic phase of AD). At 4 weeks, the dermatitis score was significantly lower in the PC-treated group than in the untreated group. However, in the histopathological analysis conducted 1 week after AD induction, the PC-treated mice did not show fewer inflammatory cells in the dermis, but showed more fibroblasts in comparison with the untreated mice. At 4 weeks after AD induction, the PCtreated mice showed fewer inflammatory cells and fibroblasts than the untreated mice. PC may accelerate wound healing by increasing the number of fibroblasts in the dermis from the acute phase of atopic dermatitis.","PeriodicalId":90227,"journal":{"name":"Journal of nutritional disorders & therapy","volume":" ","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4172/2161-0509.1000220","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45978747","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 investigated differences in plasma adipocytokine levels between diabetes mellitus patients and non-diabetes mellitus patients during 120 hours of fasting after endoscopic treatment. We also compared changes in plasma adipocytokine levels from minimally invasive endoscopically-treated patients to those of patients treated with pancreatoduodenectomy. \u0000Materials and Methods: Seven diabetes mellitus patients, nine non-diabetes mellitus patients, and six patients who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy were analyzed for their WBC counts, plasma levels of CRP, glucose, adiponectin, adipsin, resistin and IL-6 levels at four points. Blood samples were drawn at pre-treatment, 24 hours of fasting, 72 hours of fasting, and 120 hours of fasting after treatment. Adipocytokines were examined using an ELISA method. \u0000Results: Plasma adiponectin levels slightly decreased during the fast, and resistin levels transiently increased at the 24-hour time point in both diabetes mellitus patients and non-diabetes mellitus patients. Plasma adipsin levels were stable. In patients who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy, both a decrease and increase of adipocytokine plasma levels occurred. There was a significant percentage decrease of plasma adiponectin and adipsin levels during the fast in patients who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy compared to those of endoscopically treated patients. In pancreatoduodenectomy patients, plasma resistin, IL-6 levels were significantly increased compared to those of endoscopically treated patients after treatment. \u0000Conclusions: Prolonged fasting after endoscopic treatment did not influence plasma adiponectin, adipsin, and resistin levels both for diabetes mellitus patients and non-diabetes mellitus patients. The decrease of plasma adiponectin and adipsin levels, and the increase of plasma resistin and IL-6 levels were significant in patients who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy.
