UNLABELLED After bariatric gastric bypass surgery patients are at risk of developing micronutrient deficiencies. If gastric bypass surgery is followed by a vitamin deficient diet the patients have a risk of developing vitamin-C deficiency. When spontaneous ecchymosis is observed in the skin, in at-risk patients, scurvy must be considered. When treated with large doses of vitamin-C the symptoms ...

The work presented here examines the possible effects of nutritional deficiencies on the characteristics of the plasma transport protein for vitamin D and its metabolites (vitamin D binding protein, DBP) in the growing rat. Deficiencies in both dietary protein intake and dietary energy intake may decrease the concentration of DBP in the circulation, although plasma DBP was not affected by dieta...

Background Vitamin A and D are essential for the proper growth and development of a child. Due to the complex political circumstances in the state of Palestine, research on micronutrient deficiency is scarce. Methods The Palestinian Ministry of Health (MOH) and UNICEF conducted a national cross-sectional survey in 2013 after the implementation of various micronutrient supplementation and fort...

Factor VII (FVII) is found in small amounts in plasma and has a very short half-life in circulation. FVII is vitamin K-dependently synthesized in the liver. As such, hepatopathies, vitamin K deficiency, or use of vitamin K antagonists is the cause of acquired deficiency. Other types of acquired FVII deficiencies are rare.1 Here we describe a case of acquired factor VII deficiency associated to ...

Vitamin and mineral supplements are frequently used by competitive and recreational athletes. Dietary deficiencies of most vitamins are not very common among athletes except in those who restrict their food intake in order to maintain body weight. Vitamins most likely to be deficient in the diet are folate, B6, B12, and E. Biochemical evidence of vitamin deficiencies in some athletes have been ...

Anemia is a common complication of human malaria. Since micronutrient deficiencies are highly prevalent in malaria-endemic areas and appear to contribute to anemia etiology, we conducted a cross-sectional study in Tumaco, Colombia, to examine the associations between plasma vitamin B12 or erythrocyte folate concentrations and hemoglobin (Hb) among 96 adults with predominantly Plasmodium falcipa...

During the past decade, important advances in the study of vitamin D have been made as vitamin D insufficiency is emerging as a clinical problem at a global level. In addition to its important role in skeletal development and maintenance, evidence is mounting that vitamin D produce beneficial effect on extraskeletal tissues. Recent evidence shows that vitamin D deficiencies contribute autoimmun...

• Is there a state of optimal nutrition beyond what is commonly accepted as adequate nutrition? • Does marginal vitamin deficiency have any clinical significance? • Can nutritional status affect behavior and personality? • Can vague symptoms such as irritability, insomnia, and lethargy be caused by vitamin depletion? • Are marginal deficiencies a widespread problem? At what point does such a pr...

For most animals insects are used as part of a diet, but strict insectivores only consume and other invertebrates. them, all nutrients need to be available in suitable proportions prevent nutritional deficiencies. Common deficiencies pertain the vitamins A D, mineral calcium. Moreover, concentrations taurine, thiamine, vitamin E, omega-3 fatty acids seemingly lower cultured than wild insects. M...
