Abstract:

The five-year survival rates of paediatric cancer patients have improved considerably in the last 40 years with the implementation of more intensive and progressive treatments. Consequently attention is shifting to the reduction of treatment-related sequelae during and after the completion of therapy. Malnutrition and vitamin D inadequacy are a major concern as they are thought to increase the risk of short- and long-term complications in this population. Furthermore, emerging evidence has found a protective role of antioxidants and docosahexanoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) aga

Abstract:

Background: Red Cross Children's Hospital treats an average of 2 000 children per annum with thermal injuries. Five hundred of these are new injuries and 60 patients have a total body surface area burn (TBSAB) that exceeds 20%. There is substantial evidence in adult burn literature that suggests that early enteral feeding (EEF) compared to initial starvation has a profound impact on the hormonal response, metabolic rate and gastrointestinal maintenance post thermal injury. However, research addressing these issues in the burned child (birth to 13 years old), are limited. Aim: To compare EEF, t

Aims: To study induction of remission and reduction in relapse rate of childhood Crohn’s disease with quality of life (QOL) assessment in subjects on long term continuous oral supplementation with ACD004. Methods: This study was performed in two phases. In Phase A, ACD004 was used to assess effectiveness based on proportion of full remission at 8 weeks. Children then reintroduced food over a 4 week phase reducing their ACD004 intake to 30% RDA, subsequently enrolling into randomised controlled part of the trial (Phase B), to assess reduction in relapse rate whilst receiving continuous oral ACD

Abstract:

A high prevalence of malnutrition has been reported in paediatric inpatients both in developed and developing countries, using various methodology and criteria. According to national and international guidelines, all inpatients should be screened for risk of malnutrition on admission using a validated screening tool. However, because of the lack of universally accepted definition for malnutrition, there is no consensus on the measures and methods to use for nutritional screening. There is controversy concerning the validity, reliability and practicality of existing paediatric nutrition screeni

Abstract:

Human infants are highly dependent on their parents for a prolonged period of time. The resources required to raise a child cannot be provided by biological parents alone and requires the assistance of others, usually relatives. Grandparents among them, have played the most significant role. With increased life expectancy in Western, educated, industrialised, rich and democratic (WEIRD) societies, grandparents have come to the forefront as informal childcare providers. Although the influence of a child’s social environment on health has been well-studied, the influence of grandparents, specifi

Abstract:

Background There is limited evidence to support the common public health guideline that children over 2 years should consume mostly reduced-fat dairy. Recruitment can be an issue in paediatric research, potentially due to confronting child assessments, and there is a growing international momentum to develop respectful research and healthcare protocols for children. Aims The primary aim of this thesis was to investigate the effects of whole-fat compared with reduced-fat dairy intake on measures of adiposity and cardiometabolic risk factors in healthy 4 to 6-year-old children.

Abstract:

Investigation of the relationship between iron deficiency, iron supplementation and susceptibility to infection, was suggested by the author's initial observations of an association of anaemia with serious bacterial infections in infancy in Papua New Guinea. The bulk of previous longitudinal clinical intervention studies in infancy showed beneficial effects of iron supplementation. However, defects of control and design and recording in these studies and contradictory anecdotal reports left the question unresolved.

Abstract:

Nutrition education is recognised as being of value in the prevention of malnutrition. However, in order for it to be effective, an in-depth study of the community prior to the implementation of any nutrition education programme is essential. A study of the nutritional status of pre-school children in Malukazi (an informal, unplanned Black township in the greater Durban area) together with background information on the household and the childminder was therefore undertaken, so that recommendations for a nutrition education programme in the area could be made.

Abstract:

The developmental origins of health and disease hypothesis suggests that exposure to adverse prenatal environmental influences can determine an individual’s susceptibility to obesity in adult life. However, the specific causal mechanisms which underlie this hypothesis have yet to be identified. Focusing on the potential mechanistic role of the leptin endocrine axis, the main objective of this thesis was to investigate the long term effects of prenatal undernutrition and different levels of postnatal nutrition on leptin sensitivity and the development of diet-induced obesity (DIO) in the Wistar
