Niedożywienie szpitalne i jego następstwa

2015

Odżywianie jest jedną z podstawowych funkcji organizmu. Brak pokarmu doprowadza do śmierci tak samo jak brak tlenu lub wody, lecz trwa znacznie wolniej. Przedłużające się głodzenie lub nadmierne nasilenie procesów metabolicznych może doprowadzić do stanu niedożywienia. Charakteryzuje się ono obniżeniem odporności oraz zwiększoną podatnością na choroby, powoduje także wzrost umieralności. Niedożywienie jest obecnie problemem zdrowia publicznego w krajach rozwiniętych i rozwijających się. Niedożywienie szpitalne jest zjawiskiem powszechnym, sprzyja występowaniu powikłań, wydłuża hospitalizację i zwiększa koszty leczenia. Następstwa niedożywienia dotyczą wszystkich narządów i układów, także sf…

Wstęp. Stwardnienie rozsiane (SM) jest przewlekłą, postępującą neurologiczną chorobą, która może prowadzić do znacznej niepełnosprawności. Istotnym zasobem w radzeniu sobie z SM i innymi chorobami przewlekłymi jest wsparcie społeczne.Cel. Celem badań było określenie związku pomiędzy zmiennymi klinicznymi i socjodemograficznymi a wsparciem społecznym u osób z SM.Materiał i metody. W badaniu wykorzystano Rozszerzoną Skalę Niewydolności Ruchowej (EDSS), Skalę Niepełnosprawności Neurologicznej Szpitala Guy (GNDS) oraz Berlińskie Skale Wsparcia Społecznego Grupę badaną stanowiło 137 osób ze zdiagnozowanym SM.Wyniki. Spostrzegane wsparcie społeczne nie jest powiązane ze zmiennymi klinicznymi, tak…

Impact of Status and Meme Content on the Spread of Memes in Virtual Communities

2015

We examined the influence of meme consistency (vs. inconsistency) and intragroup status on the spread of memes in virtual communities. Prior research suggests that information consistent with the theme of the group is remembered better and that ideas threatening to the group identity are rejected. In addition, previous research shows that low-status group members mimic high-status members and communicate with them to seek information and approval. We analyzed social interactions among members of four online forums from January 1, 2010, to February 21, 2014. Contrary to our prediction, our results show that memes initiated by low-status members spread faster than memes started by high- or mo…

Children's nutritional status and parental educational styles: an experts appreciation

2013

Antecedentes: la obesidad infantil ha sido estudiada de manera amplia en aspectos de diagnóstico y tratamiento fundamentalmente, pero aquellos referidos a la prevención desde factores familiares, no genéticos, han estado muy ausentes del foco de las investigaciones en salud y nutrición pública. Objetivo: explorar las apreciaciones de los profesionales de la nutrición sobre las posibles relaciones entre el tipo de familia, el estado nutricional infantil y los estilos educativos familiares. Materiales y métodos: estudio, descriptivo y exploratorio. Se aplicó una encuesta on-line, semiestructurada a profesionales de España, Chile, Portugal y Colombia.

Diet composition and seasonal feeding patterns of a freshwater ringed seal (Pusa hispida saimensis)

2015

The Saimaa ringed seal (Pusa hispida saimensis) is one of the few freshwater seal populations worldwide. The major conservation issue of this critically endangered population is bycatch mortality. We used digestive tract content and stable isotopes (d13C and d15N) to estimate the diet and seasonal feeding patterns for gaining better understanding of the seals feeding habits and potential conservation implications. The diet was similar across age groups. Altogether 15 fish species were identified and the most important were smelt (Osmerus eperlanus), ruff (Gymnocephalus cernuus), perch (Perca fluviatilis), vendace (Coregonus albula) and cyprinids. The high d15N values suggested that the seal…

Interrelationship Between Age, Gender, and Weight Status on Motor Coordination in Italian Children and Early Adolescents Aged 6–13 Years Old

2021

Although numerous evidences reported a negative correlation between motor coordination (MC) and overweight/obesity in children and adolescents, the interrelationship between age, gender, and weight status is still debatable. Hence, the aim of this cross-sectional study was to examine the association between MC and weight status according to age and gender across childhood and early adolescence in a large sample of Italian elementary and middle school students. A number of 1961 Italian school students (1,026 boys, 935 girls) was stratified in three consecutive age groups (6–7, 8–10, and 11–13 years) and four weight status categories (underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obese) accordi…

Innovations in Infant Feeding: Future Challenges and Opportunities in Obesity and Cardiometabolic Disease

2020

The field of nutrition in early life, as an effective tool to prevent and treat chronic diseases, has attracted a large amount of interest over recent years. The vital roles of food products and nutrients on the body’s molecular mechanisms have been demonstrated. The knowledge of the mechanisms and the possibility of controlling them via what we eat has opened up the field of precision nutrition, which aims to set dietary strategies in order to improve health with the greatest effectiveness. However, this objective is achieved only if the genetic profile of individuals and their living conditions are also considered. The relevance of this topic is strengthened considering the importance of …

Association of child maltreatment subtypes and long-term physical health in a German representative sample

2018

ABSTRACT Background: Child maltreatment is a major public problem, associated with enormous consequences on the individual and socioeconomic level. Studies show a clear impact of child maltreatment on long-term physical health. However, there is a lack of analyses comprising a wide variety of subtypes of maltreatment and addressing cumulative effects of different maltreatment subtypes experienced during childhood on physical health. Objective: The objective of this analysis was to assess the association of different subtypes and the intensity of child maltreatment with long-term physical health outcomes. Methods: In a cross-sectional observational approach, a representative sample of the Ge…

Family related variables effect on later educational outcome: a further geospatial analysis on TIMSS 2015 Finland

2020

AbstractFamily-related factors, like parent’s educational level, their values and expectations have a significant impact on child’s early skills and later educational outcomes. Further, parents provide their child, alongside with other learning environments, a broad mathematical and early literacy input. This study investigates the relationship between family-related socio-economic and other factors like, parental education, amount of books at home, parental attitudes towards mathematics and science, parental perception of child’s early skills and student’s later academic achievement. This is studied in the light of the Finnish data collected for Trends in International Mathematics and Scie…
