OBJECTIVES To study calorie and nutrients intake in a group of patients diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) under treatment with extended-release methylphenidate (MPH-ER), and to analyse the need to design nutrition intervention strategies. DESIGN Observational (case-control). SETTING Navarra Hospital Complex, Pamplona, Spain. PARTICIPANTS A total of 100 patient...

Sleep symptoms are associated with weight gain and cardiometabolic disease. The potential role of diet has been largely unexplored. Data from the 2007-2008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were used (n = 4552) to determine which nutrients were associated with sleep symptoms in a nationally representative sample. Survey items assessed difficulty falling asleep, sleep mai...

Bacterial vaginosis (BV), a condition of altered vaginal flora, is associated with various adverse reproductive health outcomes. We evaluated the association between diet and the presence of BV in a subset of 1521 women (86% African-American) from a larger study of vaginal flora. Participants completed the Block Food Questionnaire and clinical assessments and self-report measures of sexual and ...

AIM The aim of our study was to evaluate the inadequacy of voluntary energy and nutrient intake on the first day of hospital admission. PATIENTS AND METHODS A cross-sectional study was carried out in two terciary care hospitals, with a probabilistic sample of 50% of in-patients. Dietary intake was evaluated by a 24-hour dietary recall, and undernutrition was screened through the Nutritional R...

The aim of this study was to examine the function of the lateral parabrachial area (LPB) in relation to the intragastric administration of nutrients. The consumption of flavors associated with intragastric nutrient administration and the subsequent food and water intake were measured in rats with lesions in the LPB. The results showed that bilateral LPB lesions prevented development of aversion...

The absorption of nutrients depends to a large extent on the reaction of the substrate. At maximal growth the intake of salt is at minimum. Different ions are very differently affected. The intake of water is independent of the absorption of salts.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES The prevalence of atopic dermatitis in infants is increasing worldwide. However, the nutrient intake status of infants with atopic dermatitis has not been studied properly. This study was conducted to compare the nutrient intake status of infants in the weaning period with atopic dermatitis by feeding type. MATERIALS/METHODS Feeding types, nutrient intake status and grow...

4. Humans have adaptive mechanisms for managing fluctuations in nutrient intake. Healthy humans are equipped with a number of adaptive mechanisms that partially protect the body from poor health due to fluctuation in dietary intake. In the context of nutrition, adaptive mechanism act to conserve nutrients when dietary supply is low and to eliminate them when they are present in excessively high...
