Hospital for Children/Indiana University, 702 Barnhill Drive, ROC 4210,
Indianapolis, IN 46202, USA. MRCorkin@pol.net Constipation is a common complaint in childhood, and the etiology of many healthcare referrals. Despite literature documenting the high frequency of this problem, there is little research directly relating the food consumed and the eventual stool consistency. There is literature suggesting the importance of adequate fiber intake in children to maintain soft stools. Other dietary modifications actually have not been shown to be helpful or are not based on actual clinical studies. The presence of dietary allergies may also contribute to etiology of constipation. More studies to provide further linkages between diet and constipation are clearly needed. |

M, Greenberg BL. The potential role of dentists in identifying patients'
risk of experiencing coronary heart disease events. J Am Dent Assoc. 2005
Nov;136(11):1541-6. Department
of Diagnostic Sciences, University of Dentistry and Medicine of New
Jersey, School of Dentistry, Newark, NJ 07103, USA. glickmi@umdnj.edu BACKGROUND: A substantial proportion of people with risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) are not identified before they develop clinical signs and symptoms. A multidisciplinary approach that includes a cardiovascular screening by oral health care providers can affect the identification of people at risk of experiencing cardiovascular events. METHODS: The authors extracted data from the 1999-2000 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) and the 2001-2002 NHANES for people aged 40 to 85 years with no reported specific risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD) and who had not seen a physician in the previous 12 months but had seen a dentist. They used these data to estimate the 10-year Framingham-based risk calculation scores for each subject to determine their global risk of experiencing acute CHD events. RESULTS: Eighteen percent of the male subjects had an increased 10-year global risk of experiencing a CHD event (> 10 percent risk score), 14.3 percent had a moderate, above-average risk score (> 10-< 20 percent), and an additional 4.3 percent had a high risk score (> or = 20 percent). Only one female subject had a risk score greater than 10 percent. When the authors extrapolated these results to the 2000 U.S. census data, they found that among men aged 40 to 85 years without reported risk factors who had not seen a physician but had seen a dentist in the previous 12 months, 332,262 had a greater than 10 to less than 20 percent risk of experiencing a CHD event, and 72,625 had a 20 percent or greater 10-year risk of experiencing a CHD event. CONCLUSION: Dentists can play an important role in identifying people in need of primary prevention strategies for CVD. |

Reilly JJ, Wells JC. Duration of exclusive breast-feeding:
introduction of complementary feeding may be necessary before 6 months of
age. Br J Nutr. 2005 Dec;94(6):869-72. Review. Division
of Developmental Medicine, University of Glasgow, Yorkhill Hospitals,
Glasgow, G3 8SJ, UK. jjr2y@clinmed.gla.ac.uk The
WHO recommends exclusive breast-feeding for the first 6 months of life. At
present, <2 % of mothers who breast-feed in the UK do so exclusively
for 6 months. We propose the testable hypothesis that this is because many
mothers do not provide sufficient breast milk to feed a 6-month-old baby
adequately. We review recent evidence on energy requirements during
infancy, and energy transfer from mother to baby, and consider the
adequacy of exclusive breast-feeding to age 6 months for mothers and
babies in the developed world. Evidence from our recent systematic review
suggests that mean metabolisable energy intake in exclusively breast-fed
infants at 6 months is 2.2-2.4 MJ/d (525-574 kcal/d), and mean energy
requirement approximately 2.6-2.7 MJ/d (632-649 kcal/d), leading to a gap
between the energy provided by milk and energy needs by 6 months for many
babies. Our hypothesis is consistent with other evidence, and with
evolutionary considerations, and we briefly review this other evidence.
The hypothesis would be testable in a longitudinal study of infant energy
balance using stable-isotope techniques, which are both practical and
valid. |

A. Transcutaneous absorption of topically massaged oil in neonates. Indian
Pediatr. 2005 Oct;42(10):998-1005. Department
of Pediatrics, KEM Hospital, Pune 411 011, India. OBJECTIVE: To study the transcutaneous absorption of traditionally massaged oil in newborns and to specifically compare the effects of (i) essential fatty acid (EFA) rich - safflower oil and (ii) saturated fat rich coconut oil, on fatty acid profiles of massaged babies. DESIGN: A short term randomised controlled study. SETTING: Tertiary care NICU of a large teaching hospital and a research laboratory of a University complex. METHODS: 120 study babies were randomly assigned to three oil groups (i) safflower oil (n = 40) (ii) coconut oil (n = 40) and (iii) no oil controls (n = 40). In each group, babies were selected in three subsets as per their gestational ages viz (a) less than 34 weeks, (b) 34-37 weeks, (c) greater than 37 weeks. 5 mL of the designated oil was massaged four times a day for five days under controlled conditions of temperature and feeding. Pre and post oil massage samples of blood were analysed for triglycerides and fatty acid profiles using gas chromatography. RESULTS: Post oil triglyceride values were significantly raised in both the oil groups and also in controls. However, the quantum of rise was significantly higher in oil groups as compared to controls. Fatty acid profiles (gas chromatography) showed significant rise in EFAs (linolenic acid and arachidonic acid) in safflower oil group and saturated fats in coconut oil group. Changes were more evident in term babies. There were no side effects associated with the massage. CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that topically applied oil can be absorbed in neonates and is probably available for nutritional purposes. The fatty acid constituents of the oil can influence the changes in the fatty acid profiles of the massaged babies. |
