We report on use of supplementary suckling technique in 62 infants [mean (SD) age 2.5 (1.3) mo] with severe acute malnutrition admitted at our Nutritional rehabilitation Center. It was successful in 34 (55.7%) infants.

1. It has been observed previously that gastrocnemius muscles from rats rehabilitated after early nutritional stress have low endurance and oxidative capacity (Raju, 1974). 2. Exercise during rehabilitation reversed the effects of early malnutrition on muscle function and metabolism. The swimming performance of rehabilitated rats was poor and exercise during rehabilitation improved it. 3. The s...

Protein energy malnutrition is associated with cerebral atrophy which may be detrimental to intellectual development. The aim of this study was to document the anatomical abnormalities which lead to the appearance of cerebral atrophy using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the acute stage of kwashiorkor and to monitor changes during nutritional rehabilitation.
