Distance From Treatment Is Associated With Poorer Admission Status and Worse Outcomes Among Acutely Malnourished Children
Distance from health facilities is an important predictor of treatment seeking and health outcomes. We aimed to describe the relationship between distance from care with admission characteristics and treatment outcomes among children admitted to malnutrition treatment. Data was collected as part of an observational study on the effectiveness of a simplified malnutrition treatment program in the Nara district of Mali. Treatment was provided at 37 …
Applying WHO Prioritization Criteria for Moderate Wasting
The World Health Organization's 2023 recommendations for managing moderate wasting provide criteria for prioritizing children to receive specially formulated foods (SFF) rather than counseling alone. However, the practical programmatic impact of such prioritization is unclear. This secondary analysis aimed to describe the caseload and treatment outcomes among moderately wasted 6- to 59-month-old Malian children, categorized into higher-priority (…
Predictors of change in early child development among children with stunting
Millions of children under 5 years in low- and middle-income countries fail to attain their development potential with accruing short- and long-term consequences. Low length/height for age (stunting) is known to be a key factor, but there is little data on how child characteristics are linked with developmental changes among children with stunting. We assessed the socioeconomic, household, anthropometric, and clinical predictors of change in earl…
Correlates of early child development among children with stunting
Many children in low- and middle-income countries are not attaining their developmental potential. Stunting is associated with poor child development, but it is not known which correlates of stunting are impairing child development. We explored potential socioeconomic, nutritional, clinical, and household correlates of early child development among 12-59-month-old children with stunting in a cross-sectional study in Uganda. Development was assess…
The relationship between energy provided and growth during severe wasting treatment
Treatment of severe acute malnutrition aims at producing quick catch-up growth in children to decrease their short-term mortality risk. The extent to which catch-up growth is influenced by the amount of energy provided is unclear. This study assessed whether energy provided at admission is associated with catch-up ponderal growth among children with mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) < 115 mm at admission. We conducted a secondary data analysis a…
Predicting longitudinal changes in patterns of tobacco and nicotine product use among adolescents
This study demonstrates that sociodemographic, social risk, behavioral, and mental health factors impact the transition from non-use to lifetime e-cigarette and cigarette use. The findings provide valuable insights for developing targeted preventive strategies focusing on these influencing factors
Vitamin D biomarkers for Dietary Reference Intake development in children
Weekly variation in diet and physical activity among 4–75-year-old Danes
Objective: To compare dietary intake and physical activity (PA) between days of the week in a large sample of the Danish population; furthermore, to investigate the influence of gender and age as determinants for weekly variation. Design: Analysis was based on cross-sectional data from the Danish National Survey of Diet and Physical Activity 2011–2013. Dietary intake and PA were assessed by 7 d of pre-coded food diaries and pedometer-determined s…
Early development in children with moderate acute malnutrition
Malnutrition impairs cognitive, communication, and motor development, but it is not known how nutrition and health are associated with development in children with moderate acute malnutrition (MAM). We aimed to describe motor and language development of children with MAM and explore its nutrition and health-related correlates. This cross-sectional study used baseline data from a nutritional trial in children with MAM aged 6-23 months in Burkina F…
Meals based on cod or veal in combination with high or low glycemic index carbohydrates did not affect diet-induced thermogenesis, appetite sensations, or subsequent energy intake differently
Weight loss decreases self-reported appetite and alters food preferences in overweight and obese adults
Enhancing Project-Based Learning Through Student and Industry Engagement in a Video-Augmented 3-D Virtual Trade Fair
Project-based learning is a widely used pedagogical strategy in engineering education shown to be effective in fostering problem-solving, design, and teamwork skills. There are distinct benefits to be gained from giving students autonomy in determining the nature and scope of the projects that they wish to undertake, but a lack of expert guidance and of a clear direction at the outset can result in confusion, frustration, and unfulfilled goals. M…
Feeding behaviors during home‐based treatment of moderate acute malnutrition using corn‐soy blends or lipid‐based nutrient supplements
Feeding behaviors have an important impact on children's nutritional status and are essential to consider when implementing nutrition programs. The objective of this study was to explore and compare feeding behaviors related to supplementary feeding with corn‐soy blends (CSB) and lipid‐based nutrient supplements (LNS) based on best practice feeding behaviors. The study was conducted as part of a randomized controlled trial assessing the effective…
Socio-economic differences in cardiometabolic risk markers are mediated by diet and body fatness in 8- to 11-year-old Danish children
Objective To explore whether socio-economic differences exist in cardiometabolic risk markers in children and whether lifestyle-related factors potentially mediate these differences. Design Cross-sectional study including measurements of fasting blood lipids, glucose, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), blood pressure and heart rate. Potential mediators examined were fat mass index (FMI); intakes of fruit, vegetables, di…
Decoding Student Satisfaction
The laboratory plays an important role in teaching engineering skills. An Electrical Engineering department at an Australian University implemented a reform to monitor and improve student satisfaction with the teaching laboratories. A Laboratory Manager was employed to oversee the quality of 27 courses containing instructional laboratories. Student satisfaction surveys were carried out on all relevant laboratories every year, and the data were us…
Improving the Laboratory Learning Experience
This paper describes in detail a successful training program developed for sessional (part-time or nonpermanent) laboratory demonstrators employed in the Electrical Engineering Department of an Australian university. Such demonstrators play an important role in teaching practical concepts and skills in engineering. The success of the program relies on a centralized approach coordinated by a carefully selected Laboratory Manager responsible for th…
