RECAP his new research wanted to determine the effect of barley and flax seeds germinated with beetroot powder in equal amounts added to the standard diet on cardiovascular disease risk factors. Thirty-six adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were separated into two main groups; the first group, consisting of 6 rats, served as the negative dominance set and was fed a standard diet. To induce cardiovascular disease (CVD) second group of 30 rats received a diet and were injected with Adriamycin (ADM) twice weekly via intraperitoneal (IP) injection. The second group was divided into five groups as a following: 6 rats in the first grouping followed a diet as a representative of a positive control group. Flaxseed and barley germinate individually mixed with beetroot (in similar amounts) were added to the diet at different levels (5 and 10%), respectively, for 28 days in the 2ed, 3ed 4th, and 5th groups, respectively. The findings showed that previously fortified diet feeding of rats improved sera antioxidants and liver enzymes, and lowered lipid profile levels by a significant (P <0.05) degree. In conclusion, the present study indicated that barley and flaxseed germinated with beetroot ameliorate blood vessel health and lower the risk of CVD. The histological examination supported the improved impact of this mixture on both liver and cardiac status.

oodborne microorganisms can trigger severe outbreaks. Rapid detection is essential for preventing the spread of disease before it causes an outbreak. This study investigates various laboratory techniques, including conventional detection, immunoassay using VIDAS, and automated identification systems using BD Phoenix M50. It targets the four most prevalent foodborne pathogens: Staphylococcus aureus, Shigella spp., and Salmonella spp., along with Campylobacter spp., by analyzing 174 samples of poultry. The SPSS statistical analysis system was used for every study. Staphylococcus aureus was found in 20.7% of samples using conventional detection and automated system, whereas it was presented in 25.3% of samples using the immunoassay technique. For Shigella spp. Shigella flexneri was identified by Phoenix M50 in 4% of samples similarly it was detected using conventional methods. In contrast, 33.3% of Salmonella spp. were detected using VIDAS, 28.7% were detected using the conventional method, 70% were confirmed to be Salmonella enterica, and 30% were confirmed to be other Salmonella spp. For Campylobacter spp. Campylobacter jejuni was identified in 9.8% of samples by conventional detection and 29.3% by immunoassay. The turnaround time for Shigella and Salmonella spp. was decreased by BD Phoenix M50 in comparison to conventional methods, whereas it was shorter for Staphylococcus aureus detection using a conventional method.

he prevalence of zinc deficiency is 28 % of stunted Egyptian children. Therefore, this study was done to determine whether zinc supplementation strategy is feasible and effective for reducing growth retardation at national level. We conducted literature searches of electronic databases of the international standard randomized control trial number register that reported on the effect of zinc supplementation in infants or children below 5 years old. The findings were pooled using random effects meta-analysis; we followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) Guidelines during all stages of implementation, analysis, and reporting of these meta-analyses after testing of homogeneity. The final fifty four randomized controlled trials included in the meta-analysis showed the zinc supplementation had a greater effect on height and Height for age z-score in children compared with infants (P-interaction = 0.002 and 0.06, respectively). Among children aged ≥2 years, zinc increased height (N = 7 trials; WMD = 1.37 cm, 95%CI: 0.50–2.25) and, height for age z-score (N = 6 trials; WMD = 0.12, 95%CI: 0.05–0.19). Zinc supplementation significantly increased height (N = 40 trials, WMD = 0.23 cm, 95%CI: 0.09–0.38; I2 = 66.9%) showed 28 of 40 studies (70%) had a positive effect of zinc supplementation among children aged < 5 years old on height in randomized controlled trials and, ten of them were statistically significant. Oral zinc supplementation among children aged from 2-5 years is recommended. However, further studies are needed.

: oor dietary habits established during childhood might persist into adulthood, increasing the risk of developing malnutrition-related complications such as Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, underweight, and obesity. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of beliefs and habits of the family on child feeding for 138 children whose ages were 6-24-month-old, their mothers attending the National Institute of Nutrition in the educational kitchen. Data for the research was collected through a questionnaire. The infant was fed on complimentary meals for 6 months the weight, height, and hemoglobin levels were determined before and after feeding. It was found that 63% gave birth by cesarean section, and 43% of the sample had knowledge about breastfeeding from their relatives. About half of the sample (42%) started breastfeeding immediately after birth, while (72. 6%) of mothers used flued breastfeeding and supplied another source of fluid by grandmother encouragement. The results showed that 65.2% did not know the benefits of colostrum milk. The impact of the daily meals (NNI diet) after 6 months showed that it could be noticed that the macronutrients were increased after eating complimentary meals than they were before except carbohydrates level was decreased with complimentary meals.

ron deficiency anemia (IDA) affects the vast majority of individuals worldwide. It appears that teenage girls are also more likely to have IDA. This study sought to determine the impact of dietary habits and patterns on teenage girls' iron deficiency anemia. 100 teenage females between the ages of 12 and 18 were the subjects of case-control research. Outpatient clinics were used to identify the 50 anemic cases and the 50 non-anemic controls. 68 percent of anemic people and 80 percent of non-anemic people, respectively, had a Z score between +1 and -2. For their age and sex, more than half of anemic and non-anemic girls had normal BMIs (50.8 percent & 52.5 percent respectively). Comparatively to non-anemic patients, anemic subjects have lower socioeconomic status. Females who were not anemic performed better academically than anemic girls, with significant differences. Girls who were anemic had poorer nutritional habits than non-anemic girls. Females with anemia had more parasites than girls who weren't anemic (64 percent & 34 percent respectively). When compared to non-anemic controls, anemic individuals typically have reduced intakes of calories, and macronutrients, particularly protein and fat, iron, and vitamin C. About 62 and 40 percent, respectively, of anemic girls, drank tea and coffee every day. Last but not least, poor eating habits contributed to the development of IDA. The majority of teenage females consumed inadequate calcium. Adolescent females, especially anemic ones, were strongly advised to receive nutritional instruction.

his study aimed to examine the effect of dry pomegranate (Punica Granatum) (DPG) intervention on biochemical parameters in mild cardiovascular disease (CVD) patients. Sixty adult males > 45 years suffering from mild CVD were selected from the outpatient clinic of the cardiopulmonary department in El-Fayoum General Hospital in El-Fayoum city. The patients were divided randomly into two equal groups (A&B 30 patients/ group): Group A (Control group); who had received a placebo for 8 weeks. Group B (Study group); supplemented with 50g of dry pomegranates daily for the same period. Mean daily nutrient intake using 24 Hours recall, anthropometric measurements [body mass index (BMI), waist-hip ratio (WHR), arm circumference (AC)], blood pressure, and heart rate were assessed. Blood analysis for lipid profiles and malondialdehyde (MDA) and some antioxidants “Superoxide dismutase (SOD), Glutathione (GSH), Catalase enzyme (CAT), and ascorbic acid (VIT C)” were determined for both groups before and after treatment. Results showed that in the control group, there were no significant differences in all parameters measurements before and after supplementation. In-group B, there were significant differences in the mean values of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, cholesterol, MDA, SOD, CAT, and VIT C compared to pre-post supplementation values. There were no significant differences in the mean values of AC, WHR, triglyceride, lowdensity lipoprotein cholesterol LDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol HDL-C, and GSH post-intervention. The study concluded that dry pomegranate could be used for the prevention of lipid peroxidation and to enhance antioxidant status in patients.

RECAP itamin D (calciferol) insufficiency has been linked to the progress of renal disease. Some variables, such as dietary status and sunshine exposure, contribute to vitamin D deficiency. The target of the research was to set the nutritional and vitamin D status of chronic kidney disease CKD patients before and after three months of dietary awareness, sun exposure, and calciferol supplementation. From January 2019 to July 2020, 60 males (45-55 years old) were randomly recruited from the National Institute of Urology and Nephrology's outpatient clinic in Cairo, Egypt. Stages 3–5 of CKD are used to categorize patients. All of the participants were divided into two groups: control and CKD. For all individuals, the assessment covered nutritional consumption, including the 24-hours recall questionnaire, anthropometric measurements, and will specific biochemical assays. According to the findings, CKD patients consumed more calories and were obese, as measured by their body mass index (BMI). The average daily protein consumption was higher than the recommended daily intake (RDI). Except for sodium being the highest, the average mineral consumption was within RDI, whereas vitamin D intake was less than 10% of RDI. CKD group's energy levels dropped from 95.4 % to 82.8 % of RDI, protein vitamin C, and fiber intake increased after three months of treatments. While sodium levels remained within the RDI, biochemical examination revealed significant improvements in vitamin D, PTH, creatinine, and urea levels. Eventually, both nutritional intervention and vitamin D supplementation improved CKD stages from stage 3 or 5 to stage 2.

iscuits are a favorite snack among the younger generation. Biscuits fortified with zinc (Zn) or selenium (Se) may help to avoid several diseases that are common in developing countries. The goals of this research were to determine the chemical makeup of reinforced biscuits and to see how different fortified biscuit samples affected feed intake, body weight, feed efficiency ratio, serum lipids profile, liver, kidney functions, immunity, and liver histopathology. Forty male albino rats have been separated into eight groups: group (1) was a negative control; group (2) was fed a diet containing control biscuits without fortified; and the other groups have been fed biscuits fortified with 10, 15, and 20 mg of zinc or selenium for 28 days. The results showed that rats fed on selenium or zinc biscuits had a higher feed efficiency ratio (FER) (P ≤0.05) than the control groups. Adding zinc or selenium led to significantly improved serum liver, kidney functions, and lipid profile especially at the levels of 10 and 15% when compared with a control group. Biochemical indicators were affected more by selenium levels than zinc levels. As a result, zinc and selenium are essential minerals that must be added to food or taken as dietary supplements to fulfill their crucial functions. B

lavonoids, carotenoids, antioxidants, and vitamins C and E are abundant in turnips. To evaluate their functional properties, turnip juice was sub-jected to chemical, physicochemical, sensory, and microbiological tests with the addition of probiotic bacteria, and with/without adding the banana juice with 5, 10, and 15% during storage periods (1, 7, and 14 days) at the refrigerator temperature (4°C). The turnip juice control is with probiotic bacteria without banana juice. The results showed that the total sugar level increased following adding banana juice but dropped with longer storage times. The protein level in turnip juice with or without banana and probiotics increased over a long time. 100 ml samples of the control and all types contained ranging between 17–21 mg of vitamin C. With more additional banana juice and longer storage periods, the folate in all types of juices decreased with11% more than in control juice. With a longer storage time and more acidity, the probiotic juice with 15% banana juice has a standard color. Sensory assessments in all products were acceptable. Flavonoids and phenolic compounds are rich in turnip juice probiotics. A microbiological examination revealed that the bacteria total count increased when added 10% or 15% of banana juice after 14 days. In conclusion, combining turnip juice and banana juice can accelerate the development of probiotics and increase their nutritional value and health benefits. Thus, the creation of commercial juices should promote the use of probiotics in products.

he effect of using food products fortified with stevia leaves and other materials such as pomegranate molasses, ginger, sesame seeds, and pumpkin seeds on the general acceptability of the sweetness and its ameliorative impacts on diabetes caused by STZ in rats. The sweets were prepared as (control and supplemented with stevia leaves individually and in combination with the other materials). The proximate chemical composition of raw materials, products, and sensory properties were evaluated. The results revealed that STZ induced diabetes in rats caused a significant decrease in FBW, BWG%, G%, FI and FER compared to the negative control group. While, found a increase in ALT and AST, TC, TG, VLDLC, and LDL-C, however, serum HDL-C level, testosterone, LH and FSH, SOD, activity and GPA and NO were decreased significantly compared to the healthy rats. Administration of stevia with other materials such as pomegranate molasses, ginger, sesame seeds, and pumpkin seeds alleviates the impact of diabetic disease. The conclusion was that sweetness products supplemented with stevia received acceptable sensory scores and exhibited protection in diabetes. This effect can be attributed to their high nutritional quality and their rich content of the antioxidant activity, and minerals especially phosphorus, calcium, sodium, zinc, copper, iron, and magnesium.
