With the increasing awareness of incipient and subclinical malnutrition in children several nutritional indices have been suggested for the early recognition of protein-energy malnutrition (PEM). We evaluated plasma albumin, transferrin, and fibronectin levels in 15 children with PEM and compared
The serum total protein, albumin and serum A/G ratio was studied on 20 healthy children and 30 children suffering from protein energy malnutrition of different grade such as grade-I grade-II and grade-III. Serum total protein and albumin levels in grade-I grade-II and grade-III PEM were
1. Deficits in weight- and length-for-age, and serum albumin and transferrin concentrations were determined for children who were either marginally undernourished (twenty-five children) or suffering from either marasmus (thirty-two children) or kwashiorkor (twenty-six children) defined according to
OBJECTIVE
To determine serum zinc (Zn), total anti-oxidant capacity (TAC), malondialdehyde (MDA), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and albumin in protein energy malnutrition (PEM) and to analyse the appropriateness of using low weight-for-age for detecting childhood under-nutrition.
METHODS
This study
The influence of protein-calorie malnutrition (PCM) on the disposition of theophylline was investigated in male Sprague-Dawley rats fed for four weeks on a 23 per cent (control) or 5 per cent (low) protein diet ad lib. Dietary protein deficiency led to a decrease in body weight gain, plasma
BACKGROUND
Patients with protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) have delayed gastric emptying time (GET) which may affect nutritional rehabilitation. This study was designed to examine the effect of honey on GET during nutritional rehabilitation of PEM patients.
METHODS
Thirty patients were enrolled and
OBJECTIVE
The prevalence and severity of protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) were investigated through the anthropometric (body mass index, triceps and subescapular skinfolds and upper arm circumferences) and blood measures in 117 cirrhotic patients. The sensitivity and specificity of single or
BACKGROUND
Adult protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) often occurs in combination with neurological disorders affecting hand use and walking ability. The independent effects of PEM on motor function are not well characterized and may be obscured by these comorbidities.
OBJECTIVE
Our goal was to
Serum insulin, growth hormone (GH), insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) I and II, cortisol, and albumin concentrations were measured in 15 children with kwashiorkor, 15 with marasmic-kwashiorkor, and 21 with marasmus, before and in the survivors, after nutritional rehabilitation, as well as in 10
OBJECTIVE
To determine the difference in the rate of change of serum albumin levels between protein-energy malnourished patients who receive intensive dietary counseling and patients who receive a special oral liquid nutritional supplement (Nepro; Ross Products, Division Abbott Laboratories,
The authors report on a study correlating the laboratory findings of children with protein energy malnutrition (PEM) with their clinical presentations. Forty-nine cases of marasmus, 17 of kwashiorkor and 28 of marasmic-kwashiorkor, as well as 20 controls, were studied and monitored in hospital.
It was evaluated the nutritional recovery of infants with marasmus using two different formulas: formula "X", soy based formula enriched con L-methionine; formula "Y" modified milk based formula; both, added with corn syrup at 10%. Seventeen infants were fed formula "X" and seventeen infants
