“…This is also supported by report of Nargis et al 41 where it was postulated that Sharbat Misali (an Unani preparation of hematinics) enhanced hemoglobin level and its safety supported by data obtained from study of hepatic and renal function. Even when nutrients are present in supplemental form, alleviation of symptoms of diseases can still occur (Putri et al) 42 The fact that SCD can be complicated by many other endemic diseases in Africa brings some urgency to our efforts in treating/managing sickle cell disease especially using nutritional and non-nutritional methods. For example, Prusty et al 43 identified that multiple splenic infarcts may result from sickle cell complication of Dengue fever.…”

Objective: Males and females have been reported to show significant variation with respect to clinical profile of sickle cell disease (SCD) (e.g. cardiovascular, musculoskeletal and chronic end-organ complications). Clinical features of SCD are also influenced by lifestyle and dietary habits. Thus, the study was conducted to examine whether the distributions of other manifestations (e.g. priapism, pain frequency, leg ulcers rates) and habits (lifestyle, dietary) of SCD patients in Osun state, Nigeria are influenced by gender or genotype. Material and methods: Questionnaires were administered to obtain information on age, gender, concoction/herbal preparations, and fruit/vegetable consumption, as well as zinc contents of 24-hour meal recall, physical exercise, lifestyle parameters and clinical profile of SCD. Descriptive (relative frequency) and inferential (Chi-square (χ2) test of independence) statistics were employed. Statistical significant was set at p<0.05. Results and discussion: HbSS rather than HbSC showed higher distributions of pain frequency and more frequent hospitalization rates at p= .001 and p=.001 respectively. There was no significant relationship between hemoglobin genotype and the following variables: leg ulcers, priapism, fruit intake, herb/concoction consumption, 24-hour dietary zinc content. Moreover, all the variables were not influenced by gender not only among HbSS but also HbSC patients. Conclusion: There are indications from data obtained that clinical profile of SCD such as priapism, leg ulcers, high hospitalization rates and pain episodes are present among HbSS and HbSC SCD patients in Osun state Nigeria. Although only pain episodes and hospitalization rates were significantly higher among HbSS than HbSC, for either variable though there was no gender bias in its distribution. Similarly the distributions of other variables (such as exercise, dietary, etc) for each of SCD (HbSS, HbSC) categories were not influenced by gender.

“…The majority of studies showed that zinc supplementation play a significant role in children with acute diarrhoea by accelerating intestinal mucosa regeneration and supporting electrolyte transports. Related to the area of uncertainty, evidences show that zinc is significantly beneficial in children with acute diarrhoea (Crisinel et al, 2015;Patel et al, 2009;Putri et al 2019).…”

Rotavirus is one of the most important causative agents of gastroenteritis in both infants and children worldwide, resulting in a high mortality and burden of disease, mainly in low-income, developing countries. Oral rehydration therapy with zinc supplementation is currently the recommended way to prevent death from diarrheal dehydration. In this study, we aimed to estimate the effectiveness of zinc supplementation in combination therapy of patients with suspected rotavirus infection in Indonesia. The perspective of this pharmacoeconomic study refer to the economic vantage point of cost-of-illness analysis. Achievement of this goal was possible with the construction of a decision tree model and determination of decision rules for inclusion of zinc supplementation into the combination therapy. The input parameters of the model were hospitalization days of patients stratified by the presence or absence of rotavirus infection as well as the additional inclusion of zinc supplementation. The criterion for prediction and decision making was the global rotavirus prevalence. The feature of the simulation was that the costs were expressed as relative to each other, which allowed to unify the proposed methodology. Retrospective analysis of clinical database of Indonesian patients with acute diarrhea has shown that zinc supplementation would be rational in case of rotavirus prevalence among these patients is higher than 81.5%. It was shown that additional zinc supplementation would be costeffective with probability of 0.62 and 0.53-in the positive range of cost ratio variation or if costs for less than 43% of baseline therapy per day costs on an average.

“…Study documented that there is a lack of sanitation, regular water supply, drainage system and proper toilet 20 . These environmental circumstances favour the spread of different diseases 35 . Another study also indicated that poor sanitation is the major cause of typhoid, malaria, dermatitis manifestation, gastroenteritis, intestinal infections and encephalitis 20 .…”

Fisheries sector is considered as fast-growing sector in India. At present fish production has increased over time, but it doesn’t change the economic conditions of the fishing community. Fisheries’ daily income is very low and varied depending upon capture of fish and their income isn’t steady. Fisheries aren’t only engaged in fishing, they also engage in other jobs because fisheries get less amount of profit of margin and this occupation is not continue all over the year. Various study reported that their educational and economical status was not satisfactory. Large family sizes, lack of regularity in alternative occupation, lack of own fishing gear is the main cause of poverty of fishermen. Most of them lived in mud made house or katcha house and addicted to tobacco or alcohol. Few studies revealed the dietary iron deficiency, low iron absorption, protein and micronutrient deficiencies and infections which lead to poor nutritional status of the fisherman. Study also reported that fishermen are a special group with some unfavorable life styles and vulnerable for injuries, skin and respiratory problems, filarial and certain other diseases. Based on the literature, it may be stated that there is need to specifically target and improve the occupational lifestyle of fishermen and various interventions like nutrition and health promotion activities, educational issues to be addressed.
