OBJECTIVE To examine the immunologic, metabolic, and clinical effects of broad spectrum micronutrient supplementation in HIV-infected patients taking highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). DESIGN A prospective, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial. METHODS Forty HIV-infected patients taking a stavudine and/or didanosine-based HAART regimen were prospectively randomize...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW To examine current evidence for dietary supplementation with zinc and other micronutrients for primary prevention of multiple micronutrient deficiencies that are known to result from therapies used in the treatment of gastrointestinal inflammatory disorders. RECENT FINDINGS Epidemiological observations and clinical findings have strengthened the concept that both nutritional...

Interventions to address micronutrient deficiencies have large potential to reduce the related disease and economic burden. However, the potential risks of excessive micronutrient intakes are often not well determined. During the Global Summit on Food Fortification, 9-11 September 2015, in Arusha, a symposium was organized on micronutrient risk-benefit assessments. Using case studies on folic a...

The results of studies on assessing the influence various types fertilizers and growth regulators yield quality indicators grain varieties winter barley ordinary chernozem in south Russia are presented. According to experiments, it was found out that ecological test barley, standard variety Erema averaged 6.90 t / ha experiment. Among studied varieties, only Krasnodar Toma significantly reliabl...

Data set has 120 SHC adopters and 60 non-adopters from Chandragiri, Chittecherla blocks Chittoor Allur, Nellore district Pradesh. evaluated factors affecting adoption AP. Among them, number trainings attended, ...

Numerous preclinical studies have suggested that micronutrient status is associated with the progression of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease, but results from observational studies are still controversial. The objective was to systematically review the efficacy of multiple micronutrient supplementation on mortality and morbidity in HIV-infected adults. A comprehensive search of the Pu...

This research evaluated the effect of nitrogen fertilization (0, 161, 321.8, or 483 kg ha-1) on accumulation Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn, and B in banana plants cv. Williams two production cycles Uraba, Colombia. The micronutrient models for were obtained with a multivariate approach differences between cycles, using randomized complete block design repeated measurements over time. N doses greater Zn fruits...

The aim of the study was to investigate effect foliar fertilization on morphological and mechanical properties pea seeds (Pisum sativum L.) determine dependences between features chemical composition their susceptibility damage. Field experimentation carried out in 2015–2017 (south-eastern Poland, 49°59′ N, 21°57′ E). Micronutrient conventional (N1) organic fertilizer (N2) were tested eight cul...

A variable rate fertilizer system was developed for control of fertilizer amount by optical sensor measured NDVI of crop. The paper analyzes the input and output conditions of control system, and designed hardware, algorithm and control of fertilizer, mainly software flow and a feedback control way. In the paper, the variable-rate control system consisted of 6 optical sensors mounted on a boom ...
