Childhood Weight

In developing an effective Chidhood weight management, it needs to be based on a theory. The Social Cognitive theory (SCT) and Urie Bronfenbrenner model with integrated Kolb's model of Learning Styles and Experiential Learning is used in this study to modify and make changes to the personal factor influences such as knowledge, attitude and expectations, behavior modification and environmental influences among overweight and obese school children. The aim of this study is to provide a new model for the professional development role of the nurses in the School Health Program (SHP) and health education promotion towards obese school children to improve their quality of life. Furthermore, in this study SHP and future health education and promotion are integrated with the role of SHN to facilitate the effective management of childhood obesity.

Background: Stress incontinence is one of the most common but debilitating health issue among women. It has a detrimental effect on overall health and quality of life of women. Trans obturator tape (TOT) has emerged as a promising treatment modality. The aim of present study was to assess the usefulness of TOT in terms of change in quality of life of stress incontinence patients.Methods: The study was performed at Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Acharya Shri Chandler of Medical Sciences (ASCOMS), Jammu. A total of 50 symptomatic women were enrolled in the study and underwent TOT procedure using outside-in technique. The quality of life of women was assessed at enrolment and 12 months after the procedure using King’s Health Questionnaire (KHQ). Change in QOL was assessed using paired ‘t’-test.Results: After 12 months follow-up, a total of 27 (54%) patients were entirely symptom free. As compared to pre-treatment QOL assessment on KHQ for general health/incontinence impact, quality of life and symptom scores a % decline of 73.2%, 79.8% and 78.4% was observed. For all the three parts, the change in scores was significant statistically. No other complications and side effects were reported.Conclusions: TOT is a useful procedure which provided symptomatic relief as well as QOL enhancement.

Проведен анализ современных научных представлений о роли фосфолипидов (ФЛ) в обеспечении функционирования биомембран и их регуляторной функции в важнейших клеточных процессах. Из ФЛ состоит 50% печени, 1/3 мозговых изолирующих и защитных тканей, окружающих головной и спинной мозг. По рекомендациям РАМН, физиологическая потребность взрослого человека в ФЛ составляет 5–7 г/сут. Согласно проведенным исследованиям, в пищевом статусе населения РФ дефицит ФЛ составляет от 50 до 80%. Показано, что современный уровень знаний о физиологической роли ФЛ способствует созданию и внедрению в производство фосфолипидных продуктов на основе ФЛ и фосфолипидных БАД на основе растительных лецитинов, употребление которых может нормализовать пищевой статус. Дано описание фосфолипидных продуктов и БАД серии Тонус (Супер-Тонус, Фито-Тонус, Тонус-Плюс) и серии Витол (Витол, Витол-Холин и Витол-ФЭИ), разработанных учеными Кубанского государственного технологического университета. Показаны возможности применения растительных лецитинов, фосфолипидных продуктов и БАД на их основе в качестве многофункциональных рецептурных компонентов при производстве пищевых продуктов функционального и специализированного назначения. The analysis of modern scientific ideas about the role of phospholipids (FL) in ensuring the functioning of biomembranes and their regulatory function in the most important cellular processes is carried out. So, 50% of a liver, 1/3 brain isolating and protective fabrics surrounding a brain and spinal cord consist of FL. According to the recommendations of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, the physiological need of an adult in FL is 5–7 g/day. According to the conducted studies, in the nutritional status of the Russian population, the deficit of FL is from 50 to 80%. It is shown that the current level of knowledge about the physiological role of FL contributes to the creation and introduction of phospholipid products based on FL and phospholipid supplements on the basis of vegetable lecithins, the use of which can normalize the nutritional status. The description of phospholipid products and dietary supplements developed by scientists of the Kuban State Technological University of the Tonus series (Super Tonus, Phyto Tonus, Tonus Plus) and the Vitol series (Vitol, Vitol Kholin and Vitol FEI) is given. The possibilities of using vegetable lecithins, phospholipid products and dietary supplements on their basis are shown as multifunctional prescription components in the production of functional and specialized food products.
