http://www.wbsaunders.com/gastro/policy/v111n6p1724.html

Extractions: This document presents the official recommendations of the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) on the management of malnutrition and cachexia, chronic diarrhea, and hepatobiliary disease in patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection. It was approved by the Patient Care Committee on July 15, 1996, and by the AGA Governing Board on July 27, 1996. H uman immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is a devastating illness with major public health implications throughout the world. Gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary complications are common in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and affect most patients at some point during the course of the disease. Gastrointestinal complications are important not only because of their frequency but because they result in significant morbidity, mortality, and use of health care resources. Management of these patients provides a challenge to the practicing physician for several reasons, including the atypical presentations, the broad spectrum of potential causes, and the multisystem nature of these complications. In addition, because these complications often occur in patients with advanced disease, ethical considerations must be taken into account. The following guidelines provide recommendations for the management of HIV-infected patients with malnutrition and cachexia, diarrhea, and hepatobiliary diseases. These guidelines are based on a systematic, comprehensive review of the medical literature, which is provided in an accompanying report.

Extractions: Malnutrition and starvation are very different. Malnutrition is the inadequate intake of any of the required nutrients. This can even occur if one is receiving large amounts of food, but is not able to ingest, digest, absorb, or utilize this food. Malnutrition also occur if the food is inadequate in one or more of the required nutrients. Malnutrition can also mean over nutrition, an intake in excess of needs, resulting in overweight and obesity. Very high intakes of minerals, fats and vitamins can be toxic. Malnutrition can be caused by poor teeth, parasites, disease, foreign bodies in the digestive tract, tumors, or an injury of the digestive tract which reduces absorption of some nutrients from food. Insufficient nutrition can also be caused by disorders like anorexia, bulimia, or other physiological problems. Some medications may affect appetite or the absorption of nutrients from foods. Vegetarian and fad diets contribute to the list of causes of malnutrition. Some general symptoms include fatigue, confusion, dizziness, diarrhea, dehydration, weight loss, obesity and decreased immune response. If not corrected malnutrition can lead to changes in biochemical functions and structure. Blood and bleeding disorders develop. In advanced stages the skin becomes dry and scaly. The teeth become lose and gums swell and bleed. Hair becomes dry, brittle and falls out easily. Nails are caved in or spooned. Muscles become weak and tender, eyesight fails. Bones become distorted and joints painful.

Medical Encyclopedia Food Guide Pyramid Malnutrition can occur because of the lack of a single vitamin in the diet, or it can be because the person isn't getting enough food. Starvation is a form of malnutrition. Malnutrition can also occur when nutrients ARE adequately consumed in the diet, but one or more nutrients are not digested or absorbed properly. Malnutrition may be mild enough to show no symptoms or so severe that the damage it has done is irreversible even though the individual may be kept alive.

The disturbing report, Losing ground: Israel, poverty and the Palestinians , examines in detail how Israel's occupation of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip has been the primary cause of the destruction of the Palestinian economy. It calls for full Israeli withdrawal from the Occupied Palestinian Territories, and for international monitors to oversee the process. International Development Secretary Ms Short told a packed meeting in the House of Lords that if there was no speedy action the possibility of a viable Palestinian state would be 'eroded'. 'Most people in the world have agreed that the answer is two states side by side, two states that both people can feel safe in and gain security. 'There would need to be lots of international intervention to make people feel safe. But if we don't move quickly, the possibility of a Palestinian state is being eroded by growing settlements and then we have no solution.

Extractions: UN Official Urges Attention to Malnutrition in Africa as a Way to Fight HIV/AIDS By Robert James Parsons GENEVA (Reuters Health) - A United Nations official has charged that a major factor in the HIV/AIDS pandemic in Africa is malnutrition. Speaking here at the annual gathering of the UN's Economic and Social Council, A. N. Ngongi, Deputy Executive Director of the World Food Programme, emphasized that the pandemic has been seriously aggravated by a lack of access to nourishing food that plagues a large percentage of Africa's people. According to the UN Food and Agricultural Organization, Ngongi told Reuters Health, food production in the nine countries most affected by HIV/AIDS has dropped by 15% in the past 10 years. Support for populations affected by the pandemic has tended to be focused on urban areas, he continued, with the result that rural areas have been especially hard hit, to the point where many rural communities have been thoroughly destabilized, with a concomitant drop in food output. Ngongi said that in hospitals he visited recently in Uganda and Kenya, some 60% of the beds were occupied by people infected with HIV who were suffering not from opportunistic infections but from severe malnutrition. Experts estimate, he noted, that 35% to 40% of Africa's people suffer from chronic malnutrition, and the problem is increasing rapidly.
Cautions And Hazards! (continued) - Calorie Restriction
Just eating less food smaller portions of the food you typically eat will likely lead to malnutrition, rather than enhanced health.

Extractions: Cautions and Hazards! (continued) hunger (both psychological and physical effects), cravings, or food obsession thoughts about food sometimes increase while practicing CR. For some, this may interfere with other aspects of their life. concerns about infections although not supported by much evidence, there is enough uncertaintly on the issue to justify the following cautions: CR may reduce the ability to combat long term illness. Before starting CR, make sure you are not suffering from intestinal parasites. CR may cause you to die more quickly if you contract a wasting disease. CR and AIDS may not mix well. libido reduction or reduced interest in sex menstrual irregularity dramatic weight loss can sometimes interfere with reproductive function in women. Women planning to get pregnant soon, should not begin CR until after having (and weaning) thier baby. pregnancy low BMI is widely regarded as a risk factor in pregnancy. It can result in ovulatory dysfunction and thus infertility. Underweight mothers have higher levels of preterm delivery - and more low birth-weight infants. Women planning to get pregnant soon, should not begin CR until

Extractions: Printer Friendly Version E-Mail This Article Published on Friday, November 22, 2002 by CommonDreams.org Malnutrition in Iraq - What the New UNICEF Study Shows by Ramzi Kysia UNICEF just released statistics showing a significant improvement in the nutritional status of children in Iraq. According to the figures, over the last two years chronic malnutrition has declined by 23%, and acute malnutrition has declined by almost 50%. The improvement is visible. At the hospitals Ive visited, particularly in Central and Northern Iraq, wasting diseases such as kwashiorkor and marasmus are no longer pandemic. And while doctors throughout Iraq continue to report shortages in essential medicines and equipment, pediatric cancers have replaced malnutrition as their chief complaint. Despite these improvements - UNICEF figures show that over 1 in 5 Iraqi children remain malnourished. Our work isnt over yet. There are several reasons why malnutrition has declined - almost all due to busting sanctions. One reason is, fairly obviously, because more food is available. In December 1999, the UN lifted the limit it had placed on Iraqi oil sales through the Oil-for-Food program, and in early 2000 exempted food from the security review process. This allowed Iraq to import more food, more quickly, and distribute it to families in need. Of the $24.2 billion in supplies Iraq has been allowed to import under the Oil-for-Food program to date, almost $10 billion has arrived in just the last year - allowing the Iraqi government to increase the food ration they provide to everyone in Iraq.

Extractions: To return to the MOST home page, click here Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) leads to increased childhood death from infections and is the most common cause of preventable blindness in children. Approximately 2.8 million preschoolers are at risk of xerophthalmia (the clinical eye lesions in VAD leading to rupture of the cornea and blindness) each year, and it is estimated that between 250,000 and 500,000 preschool children go blind from vitamin A deficiency annually. Approximately 250 million people are at risk of deficiency of vitamin A worldwide, the prevention of which would reduce childhood mortality rates by up to 30 percent. Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) increases the risk of prematurity and low birth weight, and is a major contributor to maternal mortality. Severe anemia may account for one in five maternal deaths. IDA affects an estimated 42 percent of all women, 58 percent of pregnant women, and a third of all young children globally. IDA is a primary cause of cognitive deficit in infants and young children. In adults, physical work capacity is reduced with even moderate anemia. Iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) impair growth, development, and intellectual capacity, and contribute to reproductive problems in women. IDD affects an estimated 655 million people worldwide, and 915 million more people live in areas that put them at risk for IDD. Iodine deficiency is the greatest single preventable cause of intellectual impairment in the world today. It is a significant health problem in 118 countries.
