Abstract

South East Asia (SEA) is an ethnically diverse region but still share some similarities with regards to food intake1. Each country within SEA can be considered as food heaven with its diversity of dietary choices and creativity in food preparations. Within SEA, each individual country is also unique due to its culture, tradition and food choice. Additionally, cross country immigration for economic purpose also demand healthcare providers of host country some additional tasks for evidence-based dietary advice as their training were mostly focused at local foods. For researchers on regional dietary intake huge challenge appears when comparison between countries are made with regards to dietary intake. It raises two pertinent questions. Is it correct to compare food date collected using unstandardized dietary intake tool? Is it possible to harmonise the dietary data and produce a FFQ as a standard tool?

Abstract

Background: The prevalence of diabetes mellitus as a non-communicable diseases increase annually. The global prevalence doubled from 4.7% to 8.5% in 1980 until 2016. Insulin resistance is the primary cause of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Polyunsaturated fatty acid has a contribution to membrane fluidity as well as the cell signaling system. The result of studies about the correlation between Omega-3 supplementation and blood glucose control in patients with type 2 diabetes is still inconsistent. Meanwhile, we considered to give a 86 year old woman with an uncontrolled type 2 diabetes omega-3 fatty acid supplementation for controlling her blood glucose. Thus, we performed an evidence-based case report to respond this problem.Objectives: To observe the effect of omega-3 supplementation on glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) serum of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Methods: Electronic literature searching was performed with Cochrane®, Scopus®, and Pubmed®. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied by MeSH term and title/abstract with clinical trial as the study design. Critical appraisal was performed for eligible article.Results: There were three articles relevant with the eligibility criteria and clinical question. One study  found that omega-3 supplementation did not give a significant effect on HbA1c. The other two studies. found that there were improvement on HbA1c and lipid profile in patients that consumed omega 3.Conclusions: Omega-3 supplementation has inconsistent results for the improvement of HbA1c. The omega-3 lowering effect of HbA1c depends on the source, dosage, and duration of supplementation.

Abstract

Background: Chronic heart failure (CHF) patients can fall into cardiac cachexia (CC), which is marked by the decrease of muscle mass and strength. Cardiac cachexia decreases the functional capacity and quality of life also increases the length of stay, medical fees, complications, and mortality rate. Branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) accounted for 35% of amino acids that build the muscle. We hope that BCAA supplementation can increase muscle strength of CHF patients, especially the elderly who is more prone to fall into CC. Thus, we performed an evidence-based case report to seek an opportunity of BCAA supplementation to an elderly with CHF.Objectives: To determine the efficacy of BCAA supplementation on increasing muscle strength in CHF patients.Methods: Literature searching of the evidence-based case report was performed on Pubmed, Cochrane, and Scopus according to the clinical query. Screening on title, abstract, and full text was done based on eligibility criteria (meta-analysis or clinical trials, suitability to clinical questions, English language, full-text availability, and human studies), followed by duplication filter and critical appraisal.Results: A randomized-controlled trial was found, but it didn’t find a significant difference between the experimental and control groups.Conclusions: BCAA supplementation doesn’t give a significant improvement in muscle strength in CHF patients.

Abstract

Background: isoflavones possess both anti-estrogenic and estrogenic-like properties. Tempeh is a traditional dish from Indonesia which rich in isoflavone content. It remains controversial whether women diagnosed with breast cancer should be advised to avoid or increase the intake of food products that contain isoflavone to improve survival.Objective: to identify the association between post-diagnosis isoflavone food consumption with the recurrence and survival rate among women with breast cancer. Methods: the search was conducted with advanced searching on PubMed, Cochrane, Scopus, and ProQuest according to the clinical question. The screening of title and abstract using inclusion and exclusion criteria, filtering double, and reading full text led to six useful articles. The selected studies were critically appraised for validity, importance, and applicability.Results: five prospective cohort studies and one meta-analysis were found with comparable validity. Women at the high level of isoflavone intake (>10 mg/day) had a significant reduction in the risk of recurrence and mortality of breast cancer.Conclusion: isoflavone food intake is associated with better survival, low recurrence, and low mortality among breast cancer patients.

Abstract

The first report of soy being administered to an infant is over 100 years old (1).  Since the 1960s the composition of soy formula has been better adapted to the nutritional needs of infants and since 2000 infant formula based on soy fulfills European Directives and legislation for infant feeding.Soy infant formula contains a soy protein isolate (95% protein), and methionine, carnitine, taurine, iron, calcium phosphor and zinc are added. Heating destroys the anti-protease activity of soy for over 90 %. In 2016, soy infant formula was still 12% of the USA market and 25 % of infants were fed soy infant formula during their first years of life (2).

Abstract

Indonesia is one of the highest countries for soy-based product consumption, which the usage also started from early age as breastmilk substitute product, although local regulation and guideline stated that soy-based formula recommended for cow’s milk protein allergy. However, evidences showed that soy-based formula supplemented with fiber in non-cow’s milk drinker could also have health effect to gastrointestinal system. This online survey aimed to explore the perspective of health care practitioners (HCPs) in recommending soy-based formula for non-cow’s milk drinker pediatric patients, as well as identify the required additional ingredient or supplementation, specifically on fiber, in soy-based formula. Majority of respondents (97% of paediatricians (P < 0.001)), (96% of nurses  (P = 0.003)), (99% of midwives (P < 0.001)) recommended soy-based formula as nutritional product toward non-cow’s milk drinker patients. On the added ingredients required, 43% of respondents mentioned that AA and DHA and 31% mentioned that fibre is the ingredient that need to be added to complete the benefits of soy formula. This study concluded that the overall perspective of HCPs showed that soy-based formula is a nutritional product recommended for non-cow’s milk pediatric patients. However, fiber is required to be added to achieve the potential benefits of soy-based formula.
