Nutritional histories of severely and moderately malnourished and adequately nourished Indian preschool children.

Within a homogeneous community, severely and moderately malnourished and adequately nourished Indian preschool children were identified using weight-for-height criteria. These subjects were also equal on several health and developmental variables. The mothers of the subjects were interviewed in an attempt to isolate possible nutritional factors affecting their nutritional status. Maternal perceptions and ratings of regularity of food intake, types of weaning foods, and the types of food eaten at breakfast, lunch and supper formed significant variables. It is suggested that any campaign against malnutrition must be implemented within the framework of existing food patterns.

Developmental and health histories of severely and moderately malnourished and adequately nourished Indian preschool children.

Severely and moderately malnourished and adequately nourished Indian preschool children living in a homogeneous community were identified using weight for height as the criterion index. With the aid of a biographical inventory, developmental and health-related data were elicited from their mothers. The children in the three nutritional status groups did not differ as regards any of the variables studied, except for the type of officer in charge of delivering them. It is suggested that analyses of other variables may yield areas of difference between the nutritional status groups.

Protein-energy malnutrition and associated variables among Indian pre-school children in a selected area of Natal.

The nutritional status patterns of a sample of 62 male and 64 female Indian pre-school children in an urban area are reported. High figures for malnutrition were obtained on weight-for-age measures, and low figures on height-for-age measures. Intermediate figures for malnutrition were reported on weight-for-height measures. Birth order, family size, sex differences, maternal educational levels and family income were not significant variables. The importance of classification criteria is stressed and proposals of other relevant variables in community malnutrition are presented.

[Patient-oriented information processing in internal medicine].

The internistic accessory documentation as a partial region of the information processing referred to the patient in a hospital fulfils the demands of diagnostic and therapeutic kind from the point of view of the hospital physician to rationalise and optimize the demands of administrative work, such as identification and duration of stay, and demands of the physician performing the follow-up treatment to get a quick and sufficient information with the threefold aim of treatment (including prevention, diagnostics and after-treatment), documentation (including statistics, archivation, information) and research (any connection of data for cross-section and longitudinal section examinations you like).

Clinical and immunologic effects of lipid-based parenteral nutrition in AIDS.

The effect of lipid-based parenteral nutrition was assessed in eight patients with AIDS and weight loss of 10% or greater. All patients received home parenteral nutrition consisting of a lipid-based system with 50% of nonprotein calories given as fat. Measurements were made of body weight, serum albumin, and immune function as assessed by mitogen responses, P24 antigen levels and T-cell counts. Over a period of 2 months, weight gain and improved well-being were noted in all patients. An improved in vitro lymphocyte mitogenic response to phytohemagglutinin and to concanavalin A was also noted. No change in T-cell subsets was observed. Viral cultures and P24 serum levels also remained unchanged. Lipid-based parenteral nutrition is safe and probably efficacious in AIDS.
