BACKGROUND Wasting and micronutrient malnutrition have not been well characterized in adults with pulmonary tuberculosis. We hypothesized that micronutrient malnutrition is associated with wasting and higher plasma human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) load in adults with pulmonary tuberculosis. METHODS In a cross-sectional study involving 579 HIV-positive and 222 HIV-negative adults with pulmon...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Significant progress has been made in the field of defining and describing the pathophysiology of wasting conditions such as cachexia. The number of new promising drugs, nutritional therapy alternatives, and exercise/rehabilitation programs is increasing. The purpose of this review is to give an overview of recent clinical findings from intervention studies investigating multi...
BACKGROUND Insulin resistance (IR) is prevalent in uraemia. Recent experimental studies suggested IR to be a central mechanism for uraemic malnutrition. However, it is not known whether IR is related to muscle wasting in non-diabetic end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. METHODS We cross-sectionally assessed IR and muscle wasting in 21 non-diabetic ESRD patients who admitted for the initia...
Antimicrobials are used primarily to treat infectious disease, but they have other effects. Here, we assess anthropometry measurements in children 6-60 months in 24 communities randomized to one or two mass azithromycin distributions over a 1-year period in Niger. We compared the prevalence of wasting, low mid-upper arm circumference, stunting, and underweight in communities in the two treatmen...
The purpose of mass wasting susceptibility assessment using a Geographic Information System is to assign, in a regional scale, places were these events are more probable to take place. Fernandes & Amaral (1996) consider that the main purpose of mass wasting susceptibility maps is to provide information about the probability of mass wasting occurrence, dividing the whole area in certain landscap...
BACKGROUND Wasting is a strong independent predictor of mortality in HIV-infected persons. Vitamin supplements delay the disease progression, but their effect on wasting is not known. Data are lacking on the risk factors for wasting in African HIV-infected persons. OBJECTIVES The objectives were to examine the effect of vitamin supplements on wasting in HIV-infected women and to assess the ef...
