The Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is the food disorder with higher prevalence in the world’s population when compared with the classical entities Bulimia and Anorexia Nervosa. In this disorder, the person eats an excessive amount of food, losing control over what and how much is eaten, followed by feelings of guilt, shame, and/or disgust, with no use of compensatory methods. As the prognosis of BED is often found in peopleseeking treatment for weight loss, it is important that nutritionists know how to identify and conduct the correct procedures when dealing with this disorder. The objective of this study was to conduct a literature review on the role of nutrition in procedures on the prevention and on the treatmentof BED. Prevention of BED is possible by early identification of behaviors, especially food behaviors, prior to the development of this disorder. The use of screening questionnaires, body image and the research on family history are important ways to identify risk factors for BED. The awareness about diets and encouraging a healthy diet with regular schedules individualized or in groups can help in preventing BED. Binge Eating treatment should be performed by a multidisciplinary team and Nutrition’s professional are responsible for adapting the eating patterns of patients. The use of food diary and guidelines on healthy eating aimed at weight loss or not, showed positive results and should be adopted by nutritionists for the treatment of Binge Eating Disorder.

Objectives: To investigate the obesity intensity and relationship of socio-demographic factors like gender, residential area (Rural/Urban), Hostelite/Non-Hostelite on the nutritional habits and body mass index (BMI) among different public universities students of Pakistan. Methodology: A cross sectional survey was conducted for mentioned objectives from 10 Nov to 10 Dec 2017. Total of 442 students from five different public sector universities participated in the survey from age group 19 to 24 years. Results: Out of total 442 participants, 65.4% of participants were from urban areas and 34.6 % belong to rural areas of country. Regarding BMI; 261 (59.0%) were with Normal BMI, 113 (25.6%) were Underweight, 60 (13.6%) were Overweight and 8 (1.8%) were Obese. Statistical analysis done by using Chi-square test, which revealed positive correlation between nutritional habits and area of residence (P=0.035, Chi Value=8.627), while less convincing evidence in case of BMI and area of residence (P=0.603, Chi Value=1.855).Interdependence was observed in case of BMI and gender (p-value=0.010 ( 0.05). Conclusion: BMI calculation and statistical results revealed that significant proportion of students was in underweight (25.6%) and overweight (13.6%) category. Chi-square test validated that students from rural areas are more vegans as compared to urban areas. Applied statics confirmed the significant relationship between gender and BMI which revealed that more female students were underweight while more male were overweight. Urban areas subjects were under weight as compared to rural areas. There is dire need of nutritional education and awareness campaigns regarding healthy nutrition among students.

Our research aims to identify the factors that go into the dynamic of mealtime for children and how these factors affect health outcomes outside the nutrient composition of the meal itself. Our survey included questions that would help us understand what dynamics are present during the time when children are eating their meals at home, and if these factors directly or indirectly affect the BMI of the child. Our strongest outcome is the R-values which indicate room for further collaborative research in this growing area of nutrition.

Background: In the last decade the view upon surgical treatment of congenital biliary tract malformations has significantly changed. Today the approach tends to be laparoscopic in most cases. Materials and Methods: In the last 5 years we had admitted 5 patients to our clinics with a congenital choledochal cyst (CHC). The median age was 4 years (range 11 months- 12 years). There were three patients having the type I and two having type IV cysts according to Todani’s classification. Three patients had large cysts up to 6-8 cm. Patients were positioned in the “French” position. For all the cases we used a 5 mm camera positioned transumbilicaly, and 4 working trocars 5 mm or 3 mm- depending on the age of the patient. The average time of operation was 160 ± 25 minutes. The Roux-en-Y jejunal loop was carried out extracorporaly through the umbilicus. In three cases we performed a cyst excision with a Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy, and in two cases we performed hepaticoduodenostomy. Results: We made a retrospective analysis of the laparoscopic treatment of children with CHC. There were no conversions in all the MIS cases. While analyzing the time of operation we came to see that performing a hepaticoduadenostomy instead of hepaticojejunostomy shortens the time of operation by 1/3. However the post-op hospital stay did not depend on which type of anastomosis was performed, the average of which was 6 days. The follow- up was up to 3 years after operation with no stenosis, cholangitis, or other complications. Conclusion: Laparoscopic resections of CHC in children are an excellent treatment option. Selecting the type of reconstruction of the bile system weather to perform a Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy or a direct hepaticoduodenostomy depends on the size and localization of the cyst, and also the length of the hepatic duct remnant after resection.

Introduction: Chronic hemodialysis is often malnourished which can impair the effectiveness of dialysis and increases morbidity and mortality. Evaluation of the nutritional status of these patients is difficult and requires the simultaneous use of several parameters. Patients and methods: This cross-sectional study involved 30 patients under the age of 65, followed by the nephrology department of Rabta Hospital in Tunis. These patients were recruited during a month from January to February 2017. The assessment of nutritional status was based on: a food survey, anthropometric measurements (dry weight, height, Body Mass Index, percentage of weight loss within six months, brachial circumference), biological assays (hemogram, C-reactive protein, albuminemia, blood cholesterol) and the Nutritional Risk Index. Results: More than half of our patients had an average daily energy intake <25 kcal/kg/d. Only 6.7% of our patients had satisfactory average daily protein rations. Dietary micronutrient evaluation revealed that our population had insufficient intakes of calcium, iron, vitamins B1 and B9. The frequency of malnutrition varied according to the anthropometric parameter used: 13.3% had a weight loss of more than 10% in the last 6 months, 46.7% had a Body Mass Index <23 kg/m² and 40% had a brachial circumference <22 cm. The albuminemia was <35 g/l in 36.6% of cases. Conclusion: The management of chronic hemodialysis patients must be multidisciplinary: nephrologist, nutritionist and dietician.

Assessment of Diet and Physical Activity Correlation with BMI Objectives: • To evaluate the impact of long working hours on diet and physical activity • To find out the relationship between diets, physical activity and BMI of officials having long work hours. Methodology: It’s a Cross sectional study carried out over the period of 2 months in different private sector offices. The targeted population was officials of 20-45 years of age having more than 48 hr of work a week for last 5 year. Sample size of 100 officials was selected. Officials were selected through randomized sampling Officials more than 45 yrs of age with documented diagnosis of chronic diseases were excluded to avoid disparity in results. Data was collected from Allied Bank of Pakistan (Lahore), Faysal Bank Ltd. (Lahore), Nawa-i-Waqt Newspaper Office (Lahore) with the help of structured questionnaire and anthropometric indices were calculated using standard tools for measuring height, weight and body mass index. Informed consent was taken prior to asking questions from respondent. Anonymity of the respondents was also guaranteed. Data was analyzed by using SPSS version 17 and Microsoft Excel 2010. Result: Following results were obtained: Our sample comprises of 100 subjects 80 out of which are male and 20 females.80%of the population have a post-graduation degree, 15% are graduates and 5% are undergraduates.51%of the population has homemade meal for lunch while 49% eat bakery item and visit restaurants out of which 37% of the population go to restaurants more the twice a week.83% of the officials have no physical activity. While 9% have light physical activity. 32% of the population has a BMI greater than normal limits(18.50-24.99).60% of population who don’t have lunch has a BMI within normal limits(18.50-24.99).subject having homemade lunch 52% of them has BMI in normal limits (18.50- 24.99) while people having lunch at cafeteria and restaurants 41% of them has BMI above the normal limit. Population having junk food more than twice a week 32% of them has BMI above normal limits. Conclusion: Majority of the officials don’t indulged in any kind of physical activity and if done it is not up to the standard criteria leading to increased BMI. The BMI & dietary habits on other hand depict healthy life styles adopted by most of them.

Vitamin D Status in Elderly Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Introduction: Vitamin D deficiency is a problem with several health consequences worldwide. About 1 billion people are affected from Vitamin D deficiency. However, its prevalence is particularly high in the aged persons. The consequences of hypovitaminosis D are very serious such as osteomalacia, osteoporosis with risk of osteoporotic fractures, sarcopenia, increased cardiovascular accidents, increased blood pressure and alteration of the glycemic balance. Our study was conducted to evaluate the Vitamin D status and detect dietary deficiency on Vitamin D in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes. Patients and methods: This prospective observational study was performed between October 2016 and December 2016 involving 38 type 2 diabetic patients hospitalized in the department A of Nutrition, Diabetology and Metabolic Diseases at the National Institute of Nutrition in Tunis. An interrogation, a complete physical examination, a food survey and biological samples were done for all the patients. Results: The mean age of the study population was 70.1 ± 4.5 years. The majority of the diabetic subjects studied (95%) had hypovitaminosis D with a proven deficiency of the 29% of the cases. None of the subjects recruited had a satisfactory dietary intake of vitamin D. The parameters for which the difference was statistically significant between subjects with hypovitaminosis D and subjects with recommended rates were: high blood pressure, osteo-articular manisfestations, fasting blood glucose and HbA1c. Correlation was observed only with serum calcium corrected with p=0.02 and r=+ 0.20. Conclusion: Although we live in a very sunny country in the whole year, Tunisia is among the countries that have a fairly high prevalence of hypovitamin D, especially in elderly people. Hence we need preventive measures and systematic supplementation for groups at risk such as elderly.

An interrogation, a complete physical examination, a food survey and biological samples were done for all the patients. Results: The mean age of the study population was 70.1 ± 4.5 years. The majority of the diabetic subjects studied (95%) had hypovitaminosis D with a proven deficiency of the 29% of the cases. None of the subjects recruited had a satisfactory dietary intake of vitamin D. The parameters for which the difference was statistically significant between subjects with hypovitaminosis D and subjects with recommended rates were: high blood pressure, osteo-articular manisfestations, fasting blood glucose and HbA1c. Correlation was observed only with serum calcium corrected with p=0.02 and r=+ 0.20. Conclusion: Although we live in a very sunny country in the whole year, Tunisia is among the countries that have a fairly high prevalence of hypovitamin D, especially in elderly people. Hence we need preventive measures and systematic supplementation for groups at risk such as elderly.","PeriodicalId":417095,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food and Nutritional Disorders","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121372826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

12- year- old patient suffering from anorexia nervosa feeding implementation after a period of prolonged fasting cause a refeeding syndrome, which manifests itself as acute electrolytes deficiency resulting in dysfunction of the entire organism, including bowel transit time disorders. Gastric antral electrical dysarhythmias which develop in this mechanism promote dilatation of the stomach. Concomitant compression and obstruction of the third portion of the duodenum due to superior mesenteric artery syndrome (Superior Mesenteric Artery syndrome) results in stomach dilatation, which can lead to gastric emphysema and pneumoperitoneum. The pathomechanisms described above create a vicious circle mechanism general symptom in the young patient.Gastric emphysema with gas in the portal vein and Superior mesenteric artery syndrome are potentially threatening complications of chronic malnutrition and anorexia. Intensive conservative treatment with a control CT scan after 24 to 48 hours may be useful when making the decision to withdraw from surgical procedure. Releasing the duodenum from the compression gives the opportunity to eliminate one element of the vicous circle mechanism as far as the treatment of eating disorders is concerned.

Lemuru fish oil is source of unsaturated fatty acids omega-3 which is good for health. Many studies have been carried out to enriche omega-3 fatty acids as food additives. In order to maximize production of omega-3, optimization of the effect factors in producing omega-3 need to be done. Response surface method (RSM) is a preferred method for developing and analyzing the response influenced by those factors so that it can optimize the response. The research was conducted with the aim of optimizing the enzymatic hydrolysis of fish oil using lipase from Aspergillus niger by varying the reaction factors such as: temperature, pH, addition of water, and stirring speed by RSM as the research design. Optimal results were found when the temperature was 44.7oC, pH was 5.01, water added was as much as 5.04% v/v, and stirring speed was 210.48 rpm. Design expert 7 was used in calculating the optimum responses. It was predicted that the value of hydrolysis rate was 51.74%, but the verification result showed 50.93%. The difference beetwen the predicted result and the verification result was less than 5%, indicating that the model is feasibly predictable to calculate the precentage of hydrolysis of lemuru fish oil.
