Associations of postoperative outcomes with geriatric nutritional risk index after conventional and robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty: a randomized controlled trial.

The association between postoperative outcomes of robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA) and nutrition status among elderly adults remained unclear. The authors aimed to evaluate these associations and provide a nutrition status reference for the surgical technique selection of TKA. In the present study, the authors used data from a multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled project, which recruited patients underwent TKA therapy. A total of 88 elderly adults (age ≥65 years old) were included in this study. Their preoperative and postoperative demographic data and radiographic parameters were collected. Clinical outcomes, including postoperative hip-knee-ankle (HKA) angle deviation, knee society score (KSS), 10cm visual analog scale, and so on, were observed and compared between the RA-TKA group and the conventional TKA group. Logistic regression was performed to adjust several covariates. In addition, according to the results of restricted cubic splines analyses, all participants were categorized into two groups with GNRI≤100 and GNRI >100 for further subgroup analyses. Our results showed despite having a lower postoperative HKA angle deviation, the RA-TKA group had a similar postoperative KSS score compared with the conventional TKA group in elderly adults. Among elderly patients with GNRI>100, RA-TKA group achieved significantly more accurate alignment (HKA deviation, P =0.039), but did not obtain more advanced postoperative KSS scores because of the compensatory effect of good nutrition status. However, among elderly patients with GNRI≤100, RA-TKA group had significantly higher postoperative KSS scores compared to the conventional TKA group ( P =0.025) and this association were not altered after adjustment for other covariates. Considering the clinical outcomes of conventional TKA may be more susceptible to the impact of nutrition status, elderly patients with GNRI≤100 seem to be an applicable population for RA-TKA, which is more stable and would gain significantly more clinical benefits compared with conventional TKA.

IJCM_46A: Attendance in Anganwadi centres through Anganwadi workers’ lens: A Force Field Analysis in Urban slum

Background: The NFHS-5 found that 35.5% (Urban areas-30%) of children under five years were stunted and 32.1% were overweight (1). ICDS being a centrally sponsored scheme, is functioning nationwide in tribal, rural and urban slums; with a potential to improve nutritional outcome as well as overall development of the child. Children dwelling in urban slums are at a higher risk of being undernourished. As per the NFHS 2015-16 survey, only 40.2% of children from urban areas are receiving ICDS services. The anganwadi workers(AWW) identify and encourage the beneficiaries to attend anganwadi regularly and avail the services. Objective: The aim of this study was to understand the reasons for a lower enrolment of children in anganwadi. Methodology: The study was conducted in an urban slum in Mumbai with a population of 1.2lakh. We conducted force field analysis among the AWWs in 3 groups of 6-7 each. The factors mentioned in individual sheets and those represented in diagram were analysed manually. Results: The force field analysis revealed that the motivating factors for attending anganwadi regularly were closer distance from home, attractive toys/activities, special food on certain days, interactive teachers, meeting friends, siblings going to school. On the contrary, reasons for poor/nil attendance were infrastructural challenges like restricted space, no water and electricity, rented anganwadis; availability of private/municipality preschools nearby; working parents; ration made available at doorsteps during COVID and disinterest in the variety of food provided. Conclusion: Need-based revamping of Anganwadis in urban slums is needed to improve the attendance of children and in turn ensure good nutrition and development of children in slums.

Harnessing Enzymes for Optimal Poultry Feed Formulations (Mini Review)

This paper focuses on the use of enzymes in effective and efficient poultry feed formulations. The introduction highlights the importance of good nutrition for poultry and the increasing need for innovative feed formulations due to limited availability and rising prices of feed ingredients. Enzymes are introduced as protein compounds that enhance nutrient digestion and absorption in poultry, potentially reducing feed production costs. However, their widespread use in Indonesia is still limited due to a lack of knowledge. The paper discusses the role of enzymes in poultry nutrition, including their involvement in digestion and nutrient absorption. It also emphasizes the essential nutrients required for poultry growth and development and the factors influencing their nutritional needs. The types of enzymes commonly used in poultry feed formulations, such as phytase, amylase, protease, and lipase, are explored along with their mechanisms of action. Research findings demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of using enzymes in improving nutrient availability and feed efficiency, ultimately enhancing poultry production productivity and sustainability. The paper concludes with recommendations for the development and application of enzymes in poultry feed formulations, highlighting the need for careful enzyme selection, dosage adjustment, and consideration of environmental conditions. Furthermore, the importance of integrating enzymes with other feed ingredients and adopting a comprehensive nutrition strategy is emphasized. Overall, the use of enzymes in poultry feed formulations offers significant advantages for modern poultry farming, but careful implementation and further research are necessary to optimize their effectiveness and efficiency.

Mother’s Knowledge and Child Nutritional Status Relationship

Background: Children are a group that has a high risk of their nutrition. Improper breastfeeding and lack of knowledge about nutrition or ability to apply information in daily life, especially mother’s knowledge, can increase mortality much higher. Eating patterns, birth weight and economic status are not related to the incidence of malnutrition. This proves that the mother's role is very important in her child's growth and development which can affect nutritional status. Purpose: To determine the relationship between mother’s knowledge and child nutritional status in Makasar Community Health Center, East Jakarta, Indonesia. Method: This study used cross sectional design. The research sample consisted of 30 respondents. The sampling techniqueuses purposive sampling. The research instrument is mother’s knowledge about child nutrition. Data analysis used the chi-square test to determine the relationship between variables. Results: It was found that 3.3% of child experienced malnutrition with a low level of mother’s knowledge and 50% child experience good nutrition with a good level of mother’s knowledge. The results of the study obtained a p value of 0.001 <0.05 which indicates that there is a relationship. Conclusion: There is a relationship between mother’s knowledge and child nutritional status in Makasar Community Health Care.

Barriers to implementing good nutrition in pregnancy and early childhood: Creating equitable national solutions.

Exposure to deleterious stressors in early life, such as poor nutrition, underlies most adult-onset chronic diseases. As rates of chronic disease continue to climb in the United States, a focus on good nutrition before and during pregnancy, lactation, and early childhood provides a potential opportunity to reverse this trend. This report provides an overview of nutrition investigations in pregnancy and early childhood and addresses racial disparities and health outcomes, current national guidelines, and barriers to achieving adequate nutrition in pregnant individuals and children. Current national policies and community interventions to improve nutrition, as well as the current state of nutrition education among healthcare professionals and students, are discussed. Major gaps in knowledge and implementation of nutrition practices during pregnancy and early childhood were identified and action goals were constructed. The action goals are intended to guide the development and implementation of critical nutritional strategies that bridge these gaps. Such goals create a national blueprint for improving the health of mothers and children by promoting long-term developmental outcomes that improve the overall health of the US population.

Nutritional knowledge, nutritional status and associated factors among pregnant adolescents in the West Arsi Zone, central Ethiopia

When pregnancy occur among teenagers; there is a competition for nutrients between the still-growing adolescent mother and her fetus. Pregnant adolescents’ nutrition issues are not addressed well and changes are too slow in Ethiopia. This study aimed to study, nutrition knowledge, nutritional status and associated factors among pregnant adolescents in West Arsi , central Ethiopia. We conducted a cross-sectional study of 426 pregnant adolescents between January 1 and January 25, 2023. Data were collected using kobo collect and analyzed using SPSS version 25. We performed linear regression to identify independent predictors of nutritional status and multivariable logistic regression analyses to identify nutritional knowledge. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals were estimated to show the strength of the association. Magnitude of good nutrition knowledge was 23.7%, 95% CI (21.4–25.3%), and the odds of having good nutrition knowledge was 7.5 times higher among participants whose education level was above college compared with illiterate participants [(AOR = 7.5, 95% CI = (5.27–9.38)],the odds of having good nutrition knowledge was 8 times higher among adolescent who had ANC visits, [(AOR = 8, 95% CI = (3.63–13.85)], and the odds of having good nutrition knowledge was 5 times higher among adolescents who received nutrition education [(AOR = 5, 95% CI = (3.67- 13.53)]. Receiving nutrition education (β = 0.25, P = 0.002) and good nutrition knowledge (β = 0.08, P < 0.001) were positively associated with nutritional status; however, food insecurity (β = − 0.93, P < 0.001) was negatively associated with nutritional status. The nutrition knowledge of pregnant adolescents was suboptimal; educational status, ANC visits and nutrition education were associated with good nutrition knowledge, whereas food insecurity, low nutrition knowledge, and not receiving nutrition education were predictors of poor nutritional status. Nutritional education interventions, increasing utilization of ANC, and interventions for improving food security are strongly recommended.

Factors Associated with the Incidence of Overweight in Junior High School Students

Background: According to the 2018 Riskesdas data, 1 out of 7 Indonesian adolescents is overweight which leads to obesity. The obesity rate in children aged 5-12 years is also high, namely 9.2%, 13-15 years 4.8% and 16-18 years 4%. Obesity can be caused by several factors, including external factors (socioeconomic level, nutritional knowledge, culture) internal factors (consumption patterns, physical activity, psychological factors). Method: This study is an analytical observational type with a quantitative-qualitative research approach. The study sample consisted of 66 students selected using simple random sampling. Respondent data were collected through interviews using a semi-FFQ form for dietary habits and anthropometric measurements for nutritional status. Results: In this study, it was found that 31 (47%) had a fairly good diet and 35 (53%) students had a diet &gt; 3 times a day. As many 44 (66.7%) students often do light physical activity, while 22 students (33.3%) with moderate activity 51 students (77.3%) have parents with more income and 15 (22.7%) students have sufficient pocket money A total of 36 and 30 (54.5% vs 45.5%) students respectively had good and bad nutrition knowledge. Conclusion: The occurrence of overweight among junior high school students is closely related to dietary patterns, nutritional knowledge, and weight status.

A Proposal for a Multidisciplinary Integrated Oral Health Network for Patients Undergoing Major Orthopaedic Surgery (IOHN-OS).

The passing of the years of life physiologically leads to the accumulation of changes in tissues in the oral cavity, influencing dentition, chewing and swallowing mechanisms, and the oral microbiota. Some diseases and medications can aggravate oral symptoms and negatively influence eating behaviours, increasing the likelihood of becoming malnourished. This could make older individuals more vulnerable to complications when undergoing major orthopaedic surgery. Hidden infection foci in the oral cavity are a recognised cause of post-operative periprosthetic joint infections. Dysfunctional oral problems might also compromise feeding after surgery when good nutrition represents a fundamental aspect of a proper recovery. To manage these shortcomings, in this article, the authors hypothesise a multidisciplinary path of care named the Integrated Oral Health Network applied to major Orthopaedic Surgery (IOHN-OS). This peri-operative initiative would include pre-operative oral health screening and risk management by a dental team, patient education programmes before and after surgery, and bedside gerodontology actions like oral care and meal and eating support for fragile individuals. The IOHN-OS has the potential to reshape the concept of suitability for major orthopaedic surgery and generate momentum for designing community-based surveillance programmes that can keep the mouths of older subjects healthy for a long time.

A Comprehensive Systematic Review of Health Claims, Food Marketing and Food Advertising via Television for Children: Using the Nutrient Profile Model

Background: Good nutrition is essential to prevent Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) like diabetes and heart disease. NCDs account for a large Global Burden of Disease (GBD). There are different guidelines for a healthy diet to avoid obesity and NCDs and reduce GBD. World Health Organization has published recommendations named Nutrient Profile Model (NPM) to categorize foods as healthy and unhealthy. Methods: First, the keywords Nutrient Profile Model and Child were searched in Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar, and PubMed databases, then articles in the English language until October 6, 2023 were selected and entered into the Endnote X8 resource management software. Duplicated and unrelated articles with the main purpose of this project were excluded from the study. Finally, 23 studies out of 542 entered the full evaluation stage according inclusion criteria. Results: Various studies investigated NP models’ application to food advertisements. The results revealed that most foods and beverages advertised on TV are not healthy, according to NPM. Also, the unhealthiness of foods like sweet beverages was illustrated, and studies recommended not be marketed to children. NPM is recommended as a tool to help governments to regulate marketing rules for food and legislate food advertisement. Conclusion: NPM can be a guideline for labeling health claims and warning labels on food packages and adverting. More strict regulations are recommended for labeling health claims. Articles recommended using the Nutrient Profile Model as a tool for checking the criteria of foods before allowing producers to label them with health claims and advertise on TV.

Effectiveness of washing with atung (Parinarium glaberimum Hassk) solution on quantity and quality of dark meat yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) surimi

Yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) is the world's second-largest commodity with good nutrition. After processing, some wastes / residues / by-products can be used to produce surimi which still retains the tuna meat properties. The manufacturing of surimi requires safe preservatives, such as the natural preservative, atung (Parinarium glaberimum Hassk), which contains antibacterial substances. Therefore, the present work aimed to determine the effectiveness of 4% (w/v) atung solution on the quantity and quality of yellowfin tuna surimi produced from tuna by-products. The fish meat was treated with a washing agent of ice water and 4% atung solution with several washing frequencies. The parameters assessed were the yield and quality of surimi by analysing the protein content, myofibrillar protein content (salt soluble), water-holding capacity, Salmonella spp., and E. coli. In addition, the parameters included teeth-cutting, ashi strength, and folding. The 4% (w/v) atung solution effectively produced tuna fish surimi with 68.50% yield, 20.62% protein, 8.87% myofibrillar protein, and free from Salmonella spp. and E. coli. The water-holding capacity of the surimi was recorded at 68.9% and increased to 73.3% after three washes. The use of 4% (b/v) atung solution effectively produced surimi with a teeth-cutting value of 7.80 - 7.92, and an ashi strength of 7.97 - 8.08, whereas the folding test was B to A (3.80) after four washes.

Determination of bioactive components in different tomato lines: Physicochemical properties and antioxidant activity

Tomato, one of the most produced vegetables in the world, is experiencing continuous global increase in both production and consumption. Fruit quality traits are important for fresh market tomatoes as well as for the processing industry. Despite the growing demand for both fresh and processed tomatoes, consumers are not satisfied with the quality of available fruits. The main objectives of the present work were to determine the physicochemical characteristics [pH, total soluble solids (TSS), total titratable acids (TTA), TSS/TTA ratio, DMC, lycopene, β-carotene, vitamin C, and total phenolic content], as well as the antioxidant activity of 13 different tomato lines, and to identify the most promising ones in terms of fruit taste and quality. Antioxidant activity was determined using the ABTS and DPPH methods with Trolox used as the standard compound. PCA analysis was conducted to identify group patterns. The results of PCA analysis indicated a specific genotypic response in all investigated physicochemical traits. Genotypes 2, 10, and 13 were identified as the best for fresh consumption, as they exhibited the highest levels of compounds crucial for good taste, nutrition, and human health benefits. The most promising genotype related to fruit quality attributes was genotype 10 with the best TSS and TAA content and TSS/TAA ratio, which is important for overall taste perception. On the other hand, genotype 9 showed promise for industrial purposes due to its ideal pH value in the juice and good soluble solid content. High antioxidant activity was characteristic of genotypes 1 and 2, and their consumption as fresh tomatoes can be beneficial to human health. They also should be considered for further evaluation as potentially interesting genotypes for abiotic stress research and selection programs which can lead to the development of both superior fruit quality and stress tolerant genotypes.

A Cross-Sectional Study of General Nutrition Knowledge among Nursing Students in the UAE.

Adolescence is a crucial time for establishing long-lasting healthy habits, but many university students often engage in unhealthy eating behaviors. Increased independence, social influences, and mental stress all play a role in leading to poor dietary choices that can impact overall health and well-being. It is important to have a good grasp of nutrition to make informed food choices and avoid the development of chronic illnesses. To assess the nutrition knowledge of nursing students and examine the interconnections between participants' beliefs about diet, disease, and weight management. : A total of 100 nursing students participated in this descriptive cross-sectional study. Data gathering was conducted from March 2023 to May 2023 at a nursing college in the UAE. Participating students completed a self-reported validated revised general nutrition knowledge questionnaire (GNKQ-R). Descriptive statistics and Pearson's correlation were used for analysis, along with univariate and multivariate analyses as a statistical methodology to examine individual variables within the dataset independently. Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the scale in this study is 0.880. A cut-off point of 50 percent correctness was employed to signify a high level of knowledge. All participating students were female, with the majority (94%) being single. Most students (68%) had a normal mass index of 23.6, whereas 32% were overweight. The analysis showed that more than half of the students (57%) rated their overall health condition as good. The analysis also found that the only variable detected to predict the good nutrition knowledge level among studied students was having children less than 18 in the same family. The results of the current study indicate that future wellness actions should prioritize increasing students' general nutrition knowledge while also considering individual and academic factors impacting NK in college.
