Abstract

Aim: Comparing the effectiveness of introducing complementary foods at four months of age compared to six months of age to reduce the incidence of iron-deficiency anemia among healthy full-term infants.Methods: A systematic search was conducted on PubMed, EBSCO, and Cochrane on 28th September 2017. After the selection of title and abstract was done using the predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Twelve original articles were found, but after full-text assessment, only two studies were considered relevant. These two studies were further critically appraised for its validity, importance, and applicability to measure its usability degree in this study.Results: These two included studies showed no significant difference of iron-deficiency anemia incidence between the two complementary feeding groups. This can be shown by the absolute risk reduction which varied from -3.1% to 13.4%, relative risk reduction which varied from -22.8% to 18.4%, and number needed to treat which varied from -33 to 8. Both studies found that the ferritin was significantly different between both groups. However, the hemoglobin concentration was significantly higher in the complementary fed group in only one study.Conclusion: The introduction of complementary feeding at 4 months of age is not effective to reduce the incidence of iron-deficiency anemia.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is often accompanied to schizophrenia patient. This condition probably related to genetic, antipsychotic drugs and the development of schizophrenia that can lead to an unhealthy lifestyle, such as sedentary lifestyle and the increased of dietary intake. Cross-sectional study was held in Psychiatry Department Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital during May to June 2014 to determine the correlation between fasting plasma glucose concentration in schizophrenia patient to their nutritional status indicator and physical activity level. Forty-seven subjects finished the study protocol. The result showed that the fasting plasma glucose concentration in schizophrenia patient has no correlation with nutritional status indicator and physical activity level, in which 91.5% subject had normal fasting plasma glucose. However, there is a need for further investigation because 31.9% subject was overweight, 48.9% subject was obesity and 74.5% subject had central obesity.

Abstract

Introduction: Dysmenorrhea is a common problem in women and can affect the quality of life of personal health and decreased status of quality of life. The risk of dysmenorrhea is age, age of menarche, nutritional status, marital status, family history, physical activity and food intake. Breakfast is an energy supplier that is needed in the first hour of activities. The purpose of this study was to know the relationship of breakfast with the degree of dysmenorrhea in high school students of SMAN 2 Banda Aceh, Indonesia. The SMAN 2 school is located in the coastal area where most of the students come from families with the job of fishermen and traders. People in that area often do the activity early with the habit of having breakfast after completing their activities. Students from SMAN 2 generally have breakfast during rest time after studying, this habit can cause problems such as dizziness, weakness, nausea, bloating, decreased concentration which will affect the health of the students.Methods: The design of the study was analytic observational with cross sectional approach. Sampling from 6th to 13th of January 2018 taken by nonprobability sampling with stratified random sampling method, obtained sample of 132 students. Inclusion criteria are all students of SMAN 2 Class X, XI, XII, have a history of dysmenorrhea since menarche, not suffering from chronic disease (DM, Hypertension, Hyperthyroidism, Ovarian Cyst, myoma) secondary dysmenorrhea, not taking NSAID medicines, unmarried, and not routine doing physical activity. Measurement of dysmenorrhea with Visual Analog scale (VAS) and breakfast using Frequency Food Questionnaire (FFQ) with interview technique.Results: The student with age of menarche most at the age of 10 year that is 43 student (32,6%), normal nutrition status 71 student (53,8%). Student who always eat breakfast is 24 students (18,2%), Student who eat breakfast sometimes is 36 students (27,2%) and student who rarely eat breakfast  is 41 students (31,1%). The degree of dysmenorrhea is more on mild pain, 60 students (45,5%) unbearable pain 5 students (3,8%) and moderate pain 35 students (26,5%). Statistical analysis with spearman correlation rank with 95% confidence interval (CI) (α < 0.05) obtained p value = 0.022, it means there is a relationship between breakfast with degrees of dysmenorrhea with correlation coefficient r = 0.2 with the strength of a strong relationship.

Abstract

Introduction Obesity is a nutritional disease which is still a health burden particularly in Jakarta. The main treatment for obesity is nutritional intervention. Nowadays, several dietary approaches have been developed, including ketogenic diet, which is still controversial. Methods Literature search had been done within 4 databases including PubMed®, Cochrane®, Google® Scholar, and Science Direct®, using keywords: obesity, ketogenic diet, low-fat diet, and weight loss. Then, Medical Sub Heading (MeSH) was used. The search resulted in two articles which were appraised according to aspects of validity, importance, and applicability Results A randomized-controlled trial study showed similar effect of weight loss with ketogenic diet compared to low-fat diet. On the other hand, a meta-analysis study showed ketogenic diet caused more weight loss than low-fat diet. Both studies showed an increased risk of cardiovascular disease from the ketogenic diet group, which were shown by a decrease of flow-mediated dilatation and an increase of LDL-C. Conclusion Ketogenic diet shows a better long-term effect for weight loss in obese patients than low-fat diet. However, ketogenic diet may increase the cardiovascular event risk significantly.

Abstract

Introduction Increased body fat deposition during early life predisposes to higher obesity and metabolic disorder risks in later life. This is particularly relevant in the Asia Pacific region where historically prevalent under-nutrition is now been paralleled or even overruled by over-nutrition over the last few decades. This overview aims to evaluate the potential of early detection of obesity (risk) among experts through addition of specific growth monitoring assessments in children during the first two years of life. Methods A discussion among experts from Malaysia, Singapore, Sri Lanka and Australia on infant growth and a qualitative evaluation of current practice highlighted the need to measure body composition to assess the quality of growth. Current tools are mainly directed towards simple anthropometric measures such as body weight, length and head circumference which do not adequately reflect concurrent changes in body composition to detect early life adiposity development. Recent findings have shown benefits of measurement such as the sum of four skinfold thickness (S4SFT) during the first two years of life for risk assessment of later overweight/obesity. We recommend this assessment for routine practice as a proxy for fat deposition in young children. Further studies to understand implementation hurdles and cost-effectiveness of S4SFT and health outcomes in young children in the Asia Pacific region are necessary. Conclusion Inclusion of four skinfold thickness measurements as part of routine growth monitoring assessment, in addition to weight and height, could be recommended to assess adiposity development in early life allowing identification of infants at risk for obesity.

Abstract

The gastrointestinal microbiome is crucial for the development of a balanced immune system. Antibiotics are frequently administered to infants and cause intestinal dysbiosis. This narrative review highlights the long term health consequences of antibiotic administration to infants and young children. The necessity of administration of antibiotics should be well considered, since an association with short term consequences such as antibiotic associated diarrhoea and long term adverse effects such as overweight, inflammatory bowel syndrome, allergic disease  have been reported.  Conclusion:  The pros and cons of antibiotic administration to infants and young children should be considered.

Abstract

Everyone, including physicians/doctors knows how to communicate. Communication skill involves how we apply a systematic cycle of sending message, receiving and interpreting it before we give a feedback. However, people only perceived communication as practicing sending the message. And, when receiving a message the feedback-step is the most often neglected. Actually, the feedback-step is the most critical part in which it closes the communication cycle and confirms the understanding of the message.Furthermore, there is a deeper development of communication in which we need to stress into three approaches, i.e. being present, active listening and active empathy. By being present then we can clear the clutter of mental distraction and focus on the immediate communication task at hand. Active listening is needed to apply specific listening-for-understanding techniques that confirm awareness, while active empathy is important to process information for a true awareness of other’s needs. All this approaches take times, of course, however we can anticipate it by practicing effective communication.

Abstract

Introduction : The aim of this study was to determine serum lactate dehydrogenase activity and its correlation with carbohydrate intake in advanced lung cancer patients at Dharmais National Cancer Hospital Jakarta. Cancer Cells are characterized by increase anaerobic glycolysis termed the Warburg effect with lactate as an end product, catalyzed by LDH enzyme. Activities of lactate in cancer influences on tumor growth initiation, survival, proliferation, angiogenesis and metastasis. Serum LDH activity can be used as a diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive marker for tumor sensitivity and resistancy to therapy.Methods :56 subjects of advanced lung cancer from Dharmais National Cancer Hospital Jakarta were included in this cross sectional study. Subjects were recruited by consecutive sampling. Food intake of total carbohydrate was obtained by utilizing 24 hours food recall method. The activity of  serum LDH (IU/L) was measured by using enzymatic spectrophotometry method on automated analyzer.Results :The mean of age subjects was 56,98 ± 10,36 years old and 55,4% were male. Carbohydrate intake based on 24 hours food recall was 57,64 ± 10,85%. The median of LDH activity was 541,5 (164–6539) IU/L, 60,7% was increase.Conclusion :This study showed medium negative significant correlation (p = 0,017, r = - 0,317) between total carbohydrate intake per day in grams with LDH serum activity. If carbohydrate source is reduced, the LDH enzyme will increase to keep the glycolysis process going. The results of this study indicate that an adequate carbohydrate needed in patients with cancer.

Abstract

The inflammatory process of head and neck cancer leads to an increase the proinflammatory cytokines and the synthesis of c-reactive protein (CRP), which then causes metabolic alteration and anorexia in the patients. Zinc is one of  nutrient that has an important role in suppressing inflammation, but it is reported that about 65% of head and neck cancer patients have zinc deficiency. The aim of this cross sectional study is to determine the correlation between zinc intake and serum zinc levels with CRP level as an effort in reducing inflammation process in head and neck cancer patients. Subjects were collected by consecutive sampling in the Oncology Polyclinic Rumah Sakit Kanker Dharmais, from 49 subjects 67,3% were men, most subjects were in the age range between 46–65 years. The highest frequency (65,3%) is nasopharyngeal cancer and 69,4% are already in stage IV. All subjects (100%) in this study have a zinc intake below the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) in Indonesia. The mean serum zinc level of the subjects was 9.83±2.62 μmol/L. Most subjects have elevated CRP levels. There was a weak negative correlation between zinc concentration and CRP levels of subjects (r =-0.292, p =0.042), but there was no correlation between zinc intake and CRP levels of subjects (r =-0.25).
