III infants and children need zinc replacement in total parenteral nutrition solutions, but assessment of these needs and total body zinc status is difficult. Seven infants with severe diarrhea initially given 80 to 100 micrograms/kg/day of elemental zinc developed systemic zinc deficiency as
Activity of alkaline phosphatase (apical membrane) and Na+, K+-ATPase (basal membrane) is determined to decrease in the membrane fractions of intestinal epithelium in the diarrheic new born cattle. It is concluded that Na+, K+-ATPase of basal membranes play a fundamental role in Na+ loss by body
In developed countries, serotypes (or G types) have been identified in > 70% of group A rotavirus using monoclonal enzyme immunoassays (MEIAs); however, these assays have identified < 50% of rotavirus G types from developing countries presumably because the VP7 antigens were damaged by freezing and
The molecular mechanisms underlying how dietary lactoferrin (Lf) impacts gut development and maturation and protects against early weaning diarrhea are not well understood. In this study, we supplemented postnatal piglets with an Lf at a dose level of 155 and 285 mg/kg/day from 3 to 38 days
Diarrhea is a syndrome of digestive disorders in young rabbits and may lead to secondary infections resulting in reduced immunity and higher mortality in baby rabbits, with serious impacts on rabbit farming. In this study, we investigated the effects of diarrhea on the health of baby rabbits in
Brush border membrane-bound digestive enzymes such as disaccharidases (lactase, sucrase, and maltase), leucine aminopeptidase N, and alkaline phosphatase were measured in jejunum from pigs experimentally infected with porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV). Three piglets from the infected and
OBJECTIVE
To determine the efficacy of oral supplementation of the gut enzyme intestinal alkaline phosphatase (IAP) in preventing antibiotic-associated infections from Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) and Clostridium difficile.
BACKGROUND
The intestinal microbiota plays a
Diarrhea and malnutrition are major health problems in developing countries. Inflammation, high oxidative stress, poor nutritional status and fatty liver were encountered during such diseases. Patents for diarrhea and malnutrition management (WO2007/130882A2, WO00/37106A1, OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the potential benefit of dietary supplementation of a rice-lentil (Khitchri) and yogurt diet with 3 mg/kg/d of elemental zinc (as zinc sulfate) in hospitalized malnourished children (age 6-36 months) with persistent diarrhea for 14 days.
METHODS
Randomized, double-blind
BACKGROUND
Hypokalemia of clinical significance, severe enough to cause paralysis and cardiac dysrhythmias, is an uncommon life-threatening medical disorder. Hypokalemic periodic paralysis (HPP), where an abrupt intracellular shift of potassium has occurred, must be distinguished from hypokalemic
The patient is a 42-year-old male with a past medical history of HIV/AIDS (his most recent CD4 count, four months before admission, was 19) and hepatitis C who presented to the Emergency Department complaining of one week of persistent nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. His admit labs were as follows:
A controlled, randomized trial was conducted in 50 infants with acute dehydrating diarrhea to evaluate the effect of oral zinc supplementation in acute diarrhea. After completion of rehydration, 25 infants in Group A received oral zinc sulfate (20 mg elemental zinc twice daily) and an equal number
Rotavirus (RV) in stools of children less than 1 year of age with diarrhea in Bangkok in 1989 were serotyped by monoclonal enzyme immunoassay (MEIA). RNA extracted from these specimens was tested for hybridization with alkaline phosphatase (AP) and 32P-labeled oligonucleotides constructed from the
