Introduction: Nigella Sativa is widely used traditional medicinal plant throughout the world as seeds and oil. It has been used to treat a wide range of disorders including Diabetes Mellitus (DM). Objective: Effect of oral Nigella Sativa on fasting blood glucose in non-diabetic individuals. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted on 10 healthy non diabetic volunteers aged 20-35 years with normal fasting blood glucose (FBG). Subjects were given Nigella Sativa seeds orally (4gm) twice per day for 2 days. FBG was measured before and after Nigella Sativa supplementation by glucose oxidase methods using bio system A25. Results: The level of the fasting blood glucose was 99.4±3.1 mg/dl in the first day and deceased to 93.1±4.6 mg/dl after Nigella Sativa administration, which was statistically significant (p. value= 0.031). Conclusion: Nigella Sativa significantly reduced the level of blood glucose among non-diabetics adults. The mechanism of action of Nigella sativa needs to be investigated.

Abstract Background: Both diabetes mellitus (DM) and tuberculosis (TB) are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in Eritrea. TB-DM comorbidity is known to complicate TB care, control and prevention. However, systematically studied epidemiological data on TB-DM comorbidity and its associated risk factors is lacking in this country. Objective: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of DM and its associated factors among TB patients in Maekel region, Eritrea.Methods: Analytical cross-sectional study was conducted in eleven TB diagnostic and treatment sites. Pretested data extraction tool was used to collect data from medical records. Prevalence data was analysed using frequencies, proportions and median. To determine DM risk factors, univariable and multivariable logistic regression analysis was done with 95%CI and p value < 0.05 considered significant. Results: Out of total eligible (1,134) TB cases, DM prevalence was 9.88%. Age and BMI were identified as independent risk factors for DM among TB patients. Higher odds of DM was found among TB patients aged 45-54 (aOR: 4.85[1.39-16.94], p= 0.013) and those ≥ 55 (aOR: 6.99[2.12-23.04], p= 0.001). TB cases with normal BMI were two times more likely to have DM (aOR: 2.00[1.23-3.26], p= 0.005) compared to those underweight. Conclusion: The prevalence of DM among TB cases observed in this study is high, a clarion call to scale up current efforts to integrate TB-DM services within routine care. Furthermore, age and BMI were identified as independent risk factors for DM in TB cases, pointing to the need to pay attention to age and BMI status when managing this co-morbidityKey words: TB-DM prevalence, transient hyperglycaemia, fasting blood glucose, pre-diabetes, Eritrea.

Abstract Background Appropriate diet is an important determinant of kidney health. However, the association between vegetarian diets and renal function is unclear. Object We aimed to study the association between vegetarian diets and renal function in healthy adults. Design A total of 269 vegetarians (aged 34.5±8.7 years) and 269 sex- and age-matched nonvegetarian omnivores were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Basic characteristics as well as daily dietary intakes were assessed by face-to-face interviews. Blood samples were collected, and renal function was assessed by measuring blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cr), uric acid (UA) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Blood pressure, fasting blood glucose and blood lipid profiles were also assessed. Results The average age of the vegetarians was 35.4±8.6 years, 82.2% of whom were female. We evaluated the association between vegetarian diets and renal function by using multivariate analysis. Compared with omnivores, vegetarians had lower BUN (β= -0.63, 95% CI: -0.88 to -0.38), SCr (β= -2.07, 95% CI: -4.21 to -0.061), UA (β= -15.17, 95% CI: -27.81 to -2.53) and higher eGFR levels (β= 4.09, 95% CI: 0.23 to 7.96) after adjusting for sex, age, BMI, physical activity, alcohol consumption, smoking status, LDL, HDL, systolic pressure and fasting blood glucose. Further analysis of food composition and renal function showed that dietary fiber intake was significantly negatively associated with BUN [β= -0.02, 95% CI:(-0.03, 0.00)], SCr [β= -0.14, 95% CI:(-0.25, 0.04)], and UA [β= -0.72, 95% CI:(-1.36, 0.07)] and positively associated with eGFR [β= 0.20, 95% CI:(0.00, 0.40)]. Conclusions Healthy adult vegetarians have better renal function than omnivores, and the higher dietary fiber intake associated with vegetarian diets may contribute to the protective effect on renal function.

Abstract Indonesia is country with the fourth highest prevalence of stunting among under 5-years old children in the world and the second highest of that in Southern Asia. Maternal factors is so important because they become the main determinants  and source of stunting prevention. This research aimed to analyze the sociodemography, parenting and food intake of mother as determinant of stunting. The research was cross sectional study with 97 under 5-years old children in chosen Posyandu. Measurement of body height of mother and under 5-years old children who had stood by microtoise. Meanwhile measurement of under 5-years old children who had not stood by length board. There were three variables related to stunting among under 5-years old children. They are parity (p-value=0,017), the height of mother (p-value=0,009) and the level of income (p-value=0,036). The most dominant variable related to stunting among under 5-years old children was the height of mother (OR=3,1). Determinants of stunting among under 5-years old children were parity, height of mother and the level of income.   Keywords: stunting, under 5-years old children, height of mother     Abstrak Indonesia adalah negara dengan prevalensi balita stunting terbesar keempat di dunia dan tertinggi kedua di wilayah Asia Tenggara. Faktor ibu layak menjadi perhatian karena menjadi determinan dan sumber utama pencegahan stunting. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis faktor sosiodemografi ibu, pola asuh dan asupan makanan sebagai determinan stunting. Desain penelitian ini adalah cross sectional dengan jumlah sampel 97 balita yang terdaftar di Posyandu. Pengukuran tinggi badan ibu dan balita yang sudah bisa berdiri menggunakan microtoise. Sementara pengukuran panjang badan balita yang belum bisa berdiri menggunakan length board. Terdapat tiga variabel yang berhubungan dengan kejadian stunting pada balita. Ketiga variabel tersebut adalah paritas (p-value=0,017), tinggi badan ibu (p-value=0,009) dan tingkat pendapatan            (p-value=0,036). Variabel yang paling dominan berhubungan dengan kejadian stunting pada balita adalah tinggi badan ibu (OR=3,1). Determinan stunting balita antara lain faktor paritas, tinggi badan ibu dan tingkat pendapatanAbstrak dalam Bahasa Indonesia.   Kata Kunci: stunting, balita, tinggi badan ibu
