Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract This thesis examines the assessment and treatment of severe adult starvation during famine. The author collected data from 573, 98 and 1059 severely malnourished adults, admitted to therapeutic feeding centres in Baidoa (Somalia) during 1992-3, Ayod (Sudan) during 1993 and Melanje (Angola) during 1993-4. The data collected are unique, recording recovery from extremes of adult starvation hitherto undocumented in the medical literature. All the centres were very rudimentary in nature, with no beds, running water, electricity or equipment for special investigations. Mortality rates in the Somalia centre were 21%; war disrupted the collection of outcome data in die centres in Sudan and Angola.

Student groups will play the part of aid organizations competing for funds to assist a fictitious village that has experienced a natural disaster and is now in a food crisis. They will research various aspects of micronutrient deficiencies and the logistics involved in delivering emergency rations to a village in crisis. They will then work in groups to develop and present an intervention plan. To complete these activities, students should have prior knowledge of macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats) and how they help the body to function. Learning Outcomes • The student will be able to explain the roles vitamin A, iron, and iodine play in a healthy body. • The student will be able to describe the symptoms of vitamin A, iron, and iodine deficiencies.

    Nutrition and Chronic Kidney Disease (Stages 1–4) Are You Getting What You Need? www.kidney.org National Kidney Foundation’s Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative Did you know that the National Kidney Foundation’s Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (NKF- KDOQI™) develops guidelines that help your doctor and health care team make important decisions about your medical treatment? The information in this booklet is based on the NKF-KDOQI recommended guidelines for anemia. Stages of Chronic Kidney Disease There are five stages of chronic kidney disease. They are shown in the table below. Your doctor deter- mines your stage of kidney disease based on the presence of kidney damage and your glomerular filtra- tion rate (GFR), which is a measure of your level of kidney function. Your treatment is based on your stage of kidney disease. Speak to your doctor if you have any questions about your stage of kidney disease or your treatment. Stages of Kidney Disease Stage Description Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR)* 1 Kidney damage (e.g., protein in the urine) with normal GFR 90 or above 2 Kidney damage with mild decrease in GFR 60 to 89 3 Moderate decrease in GFR 30 to 59 4 Severe reduction in GFR 15 to 29 5 Kidney failure Less than 15 * Your GFR number tells your doctor how much kidney func- tion you have. As chronic kidney disease progresses, your GFR number decreases. 2 NATIONAL KIDNEY FOUNDATION Why is good nutrition important for people with kidney disease? Making healthy food choices is important to us all, but it is even more important if you have chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Methods Forty obese patients with T2DM (22 M, mean age 52 years, body mass index (BMI) 40 kg/m2, duration of T2DM 6.1 years) and symptomatic hyper- glycaemia despite combination oral therapy (n = 26) or insulin + metformin (n = 14) received 8 weeks of VLCD therapy (750 kcal/day) followed by standard diet and exercise advice at 2–3-month intervals up to 1 year.

Results Immediate improvements in symptoms and early weight loss reinforced good compliance and patient satisfaction. After 8 weeks of VLCD, body weight and BMI had fallen significantly: 119 ± 19–107 ± 18 kg and 40.6–36.6 kg/m2, respectively, with favourable reductions in serum total cholesterol (5.9–4.9 mM), blood pressure (10/6 mmHg) and fructosamine (386 ± 73–346 ± 49 µM) (equates to an HbA1c reduction of approximately 1%).

Andersen, Stine Jacobsen, Christian Mølgaard, Henrik Friis, Per T. Sangild, and Kim F. Michaelsen* Department of Human Nutrition, Faculty of Life Sciences, University of Copenhagen, DK-1958 Frederiksberg, Denmark Abstract Fortified blended foods (FBF), especially corn soy blend, are used as food aid for millions of people worldwide, especially malnourished individuals and vulnerable groups. There are only a few studies evaluating the effect of FBF on health outcomes, and the potential negative effect of antinutrients has not been examined. Different lines of evidence suggest that dairy proteins have beneficial effects on vulnerable groups. Here we review the evidence on the effects of adding Downloaded from whey or skimmed milk powder to FBF used for malnourished infants and young children or people living with HIV or AIDS. Adding whey or skimmed milk powder to FBF improves the protein quality, allowing a reduction in total amount of protein, which could have potential metabolic advantages. It also allows for a reduced content of soy and cereal and thereby a reduction of potential antinutrients. It is possible that adding milk could improve weight gain, linear growth, and recovery from malnutrition, but this needs to be confirmed. Bioactive factors in whey might have beneficial effects on the immune jn.nutrition.org system and muscle synthesis, but evidence from vulnerable groups is lacking.

  • Guidance for Approaches for Management of Acute Malnutrition
    Guidance for Approaches for Management of Acute Malnutrition (Taskforce for Management of Acute Malnutrition– Somalia Nutrition Cluster) November 2009 (Version 10) A. Introduction Somalia has experienced persistent critical levels of malnutrition over years and the challenges of widespread insecurity and the associated limited in-country capacities have compounded an already dire humanitarian situation. In an effort to enhance the humanitarian response, the Nutrition Cluster’s task force for Management of Acute Malnutrition aims to provide guidance for programming for the treatment of severe and moderate malnutrition management as well as its prevention in Somalia. Currently, there are inconsistencies in programmes implementation in terms of nutrition products used, implementation modalities and the characteristics and environmental conditions of the target population. Further with the challenge of limited funding, guidance is needed on how to prioritize the available resources to those most in need in the most effective manner. Ongoing efforts by UNICEF and WFP and others, to expand their nutrition programmes through use of blanket fortified blended food distribution and use of ready to use food (RUF) or Lipid Based Nutrient Supplements (LNS) either as complements or by changing intervention strategies, creating further demand for guidance. This paper aims to provide guidance on the use of various products, target populations and new strategies vis-à-vis the existing programmes to appropriately guide decision makers, sponsoring agencies and donor. The guidance is also intended to ensure a greater coverage of these programmes and to reduce gaps and overlaps of approaches. The paper is structured to provide background on a) Available products, b) Approaches to manage acute malnutrition, c) Nutritionally vulnerable groups, and d) Scenario’s for decision making.
