Uniform liquid porridge poses a risk of aspiration for people with impaired swallowing function. In this study, we report the result of making the white rice porridge with salmon into a uniform liquid porridge with a mixer and adding four different types of Thickener to increase the viscosity. By adding salmon as an ingredient, the amount of protein was higher than that of white rice porridge. By adding two types of Thickener containing dextrin and calcium lactate, the viscosity remained stable over time. The type of thickening agent that stabilizes the viscosity varies depending on the nutrients contained in the porridge, we would like to study more combinations of porridge and thickening agents in the future.","PeriodicalId":93101,"journal":{"name":"Global journal of medical research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48840292","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 concerns about living indoors rather than going out, lack of exercise, increased alcohol consumption, irregular eating habits, and lack of sleep or excess sleep. In June 2022, we were finally able to hold a small number of health classes, and we conducted a questionnaire survey on the current living situation so that we will report the results. Participants were 20 elderly females who had been informed about the study and agreed to a consent form. Participants measured their height, weight, blood pressure, and completed a self-reported questionnaire. The content of the self-reported questionnaire survey was the smoking habit, drinking habit, exercise habit, sleeping time, and supplement intake. Participants were also asked about co-habitation.","PeriodicalId":93101,"journal":{"name":"Global journal of medical research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41786691","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}

As a result, water, gas, and electricity cannot be used, making it impossible to prepare meals. If you always have ready-to-eat porridge, you do not need to cook it, and can eat it whenever you want. The porridge with a lot of water causes aspiration in older people. In welfare facilities and hospitals, a thickener is used to adjust the viscosity of porridge so that the elderly can safely swallow it. In this study, we measured the thickness of commercially available porridge using the line spread test (LST). First, the viscosity of commercially available white rice porridge was assumed. Next, the white rice porridge was homogenized with a mixer, and the thickness was measured. Two g of each of the four commercially available thickeners was added to white rice porridge, homogenized with a mixer, and the viscosity was measured after stirring for five minutes. Viscosity measurements were taken 30 seconds, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, and 30 minutes after each porridge placed on the measuring plate.

Apium graveolens (celery) has potential benefits in many disorders. Aim of the study: To investigate the possible protective role of celery seeds extract (CSE) against the damaging effects of CP on the liver. Materials and Methods: The study has included five groups of rats divided into, Group 1 as normal control, group 2 received a single dose (7mg/kg, i.p.) of CP, groups 3, and 4 pretreated daily with CSE in two different doses; group 3 (250mg/kg) and group 4 (500 mg/kg), and group 5 pretreated daily with the hepato-protective agent silymarin (100mg/kg) for 17 days followed by CP injection. Results: CP markedly affected the liver function. The glutathione peroxidase, and interleukin-6 levels were significantly decreased while the levels of heme oxygenase-1, interleukin-1 alpha were markedly elevated in the tissue homogenates of CP injected rats. The administration of CSE has ameliorated all the altered biochemical and histopathological changes of the liver; the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase, IL-6 level, and prostaglandin E2 were markedly increased while IL-1 alpha was reduced. Conclusion: CSE has a protective effect against acute hepatotoxicity induced by CP administration in rats that could be through inhibiting inflammation and increasing antioxidant activities.","PeriodicalId":93101,"journal":{"name":"Global journal of medical research","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134882646","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}

The study employed an unordered multinomial logit regression model and bivariate analyses. Through conometric models, results show that complementary foods are introduced early to children. The choice of complementary foods is dependent on average family income, mother's occupation, food taboos, number of economically active persons in the household, residence environment, family food consumption score, survival strategy adopted by the family and reduced coping strategy index. Policy sensitization targeting heads of family on food restriction, family income and women's education improvement, and nutritional education for women are key actions for complementary food choice for children.","PeriodicalId":93101,"journal":{"name":"Global journal of medical research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43668244","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}
