A prospective study on children under six months old living in an urban area on the periphery of Rio de Janeiro was carried out to examine the possible effect of diarrhea in differentiating the monthly growth rate in weight and height, according to type of nursing. The results seem to indicate that infants show a delay in growth of weight and height as a result of greater incidence and prevalen...

Rotavirus is a leading cause of dehydrating diarrhea and death among infants and children globally, particularly in communities of the developing world. While numerous studies have described the complex relationships among infectious diarrhea, growth faltering, and poverty, the impact of nutritional status on susceptibility to rotavirus diarrhea is not well understood. In a longitudinal study c...

In the 1950s textbooks of nutrition made little or no mention of a relation to infection. The same was true for treatises on infectious disease. Relevant studies in experimental animals and a number of classical clinical observations were available pointing out the role of infection in precipitating nutritional disorders. However, clinicians and nutritionists did not recognize the importance of...

Based on RISKESDAS 2018, diarrhea prevalence in Banten was 7.5%. While national 6.8%. Diarrhea is the number one causal of inpatients at Indonesian hospitals. Incorrect breastfeeding and complementary feeding practices were some nutritional problems. Complementary need a proper delivery time, frequency, type, foods amount, how to made.

Chemotherapy-induced mucositis represents a significant burden to quality of life and healthcare costs, and may be improved through enhanced nutritional status. We first determined the safety of two nutritional drinks (plus placebo), and then potential gut protection in tumor-bearing rats in a model of methotrexate-induced mucositis. In study 1, animals were fed one of two test diets (or placeb...

To determine potential, long-term deficits associated with early childhood diarrhea and parasitic infections, we studied the physical fitness (by the Harvard Step Test) and cognitive function (by standardized tests noted below) of 26 children who had complete surveillance for diarrhea in their first 2 years of life and who had continued surveillance until 6-9 years of age in a poor urban commun...

Background: Despite dramatic declines in deaths due to diarrheal disease among infants and children in developing countries, diarrhea remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Even though Rota vaccine is not available to decrease morbidity and mortality due to diarrheal disease, Ethiopian government endorsed health extension program at 2004 and through it, the country was increasi...
