Immunoglobulins in Protein-Calorie Malnutrition
term 'familial' does not seem to apply to such a situation. While Tandler's faulty recanalization concept may be of lesser importance in explaining atresias beyond the duodenum (where no 'solid stage' has been satisfactorily demonstrated), it may well apply to duodenal atresias. This is supported by the observation that it may be accompanied by other errors of growth, notably Down's syndrome (B...
متن کاملAssessment of protein-calorie malnutrition.
We critically review the various methods for assessing protein--calorie malnutrition. These tests are lacking in sensitivity and specificity, and currently no single one can be used as a reliable indicator of malnutrition. However, a combination of several of them can be used as prognostic indicators and are of help in selecting patients who may benefit from nutritional support. Body-compositio...
متن کاملOntogeny of pancreatic exocrine function.
Exocrine pancreatic proteolytic activity, determined by serial measurement of faecal chymotrypsin concentration, was investigated in 21 preterm infants (23-32 weeks' gestation) during the first 28 days of life. The overall chymotrypsin concentration range was similar to that already described in term infants showing that pancreatic chymotrypsin secretion is equally well developed at birth in th...
متن کاملSecretory IgA in protein-calorie malnutrition.
The secretory IgA system was investigated in children with protein-calorie malnutrition (PCM). The results of the study indicated that in children suffering from kwashiorkor and marasmus the concentration of IgA in duodenal fluid, saliva, nasal secretions, and tears was significantly reduced on admission and returned to normal 4 weeks after treatment. However, the concentration of secretory IgA...
متن کاملPlasma somatomedin activity in protein calorie malnutrition.
Somatomedin activity was assayed in the plasma of children suffering from protein calorie malnutrition by a bioassay using rat cartilage and expressed as sulphate uptake ratio. The sulphate uptake ratio was particularly reduced in kwashiorkor. In marasmus there was a slight reduction and the levels were still in the normal range. Plasma growth hormone (GH) levels were raised in kwashiorkor but ...
