    Evaluation of Food Intake, Malnutrition, Growth and Development in Children With Esophageal Atresia: A Pilot Study From Turkey
    (BMC, 2025) Konyaligil, Dilara Bersan; Koc, Nevra; Caliskan, Dogus; Kara Uzun, Aysun; Senel, Emrah
    Background This study aimed to evaluate the relationships among nutritional intake, malnutrition, and growth and development in children under 2 years of age with esophageal atresia. Methods A survey was administered to the parents of healthy children and children with esophageal atresia who were followed up at Ankara City Hospital Pediatric Surgery Polyclinic. Nutrition education was provided, a follow-up visit was scheduled three months later, and the assessments were repeated. Results The study included 20 children with esophageal atresia and 40 controls under 2 years of age. Height-for-age, weight-for-age and head circumference measurements were significantly lower in children with esophageal atresia than in the control group (p < 0.05). At the second interview, triceps skinfold thickness for age and mid-upper arm circumference for age were also significantly lower in children with esophageal atresia compared to control group (p < 0.05). Statistically significant differences were observed in dietary and food consistency preferences, eating status, and swallowing function (p < 0.05). In addition, according to the Pediatric Eating Assessment Tool-10 and Screening Tool for Risk of Impaired Nutritional Status and Growth, a high prevalence of swallowing disorders and a moderate risk of malnutrition were identified in children with esophageal atresia (p < 0.05). At the end of follow-up, significant increases in weight-for-age and height-for-age z scores were observed over time in children with esophageal atresia (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the percentages meeting daily requirements for protein, carbohydrates and dietary fiber increased over time (p < 0.05). Swallowing symptoms improved over time in children with esophageal atresia, and their current dietary patterns remained significantly different from those of the control group (p < 0.05). Conclusions Appropriate nutritional support delivered with a multidisciplinary approach and long-term follow-up can help children to achieve a growth rate appropriate for their peers.

    Food Science Application

    One of the main issues in the food industry is to determine quality and authenticity, and to detect adulteration, which causes a great deal of concern among consumers and risk in brand reputation for manufacturers. Food quality control is a wide playing field that includes different participants such as consumers, manufacturers, legislative bodies, researchers, etc. with an individual perspective for each participant, including economic and environmental contexts. But the ultimate goal is to produce safe and healthy food products. The preferential choice of food items depends on individuals’ lifestyles, diets, health, religious beliefs, current trends, etc. This brings about the issues of accurate labeling, fair trade, and consumer's health. The analysis of food and capabilities and limitations of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) on foods have been reported. This chapter provides an overview of applications on food quality and the monitoring of several foods, sampling techniques, and limitations of LIBS. © 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    Türk Silahlı Kuvvetlerinde Mevcut Beslenme Sistemi ve Yeni Bir Model Önerisi
    (2005) Köylü, Murat; Korkmaz, Sezer
    Bu araştırma ile; muharebe sahasında birliklerin başarısını önemli oranda etkileyecek lojistik ve yiyecek ikmal faaliyetlerinin sistematik bir biçimde işleyişini sağlayabilecek, yiyecek ikmal işlerinde sürat ve elastikiyet kazandırabilecek bir yapıda olması gereken yeni yiyecek ikmal sistemi ile 1900'liü yılların ihtiyaçlarına göre şekillendirilmiş eski yiyecek ikmal sisteminin karşılaştırılmasının yapılması ve yapılan değerlendirmeler ışığında yeni yiyecek ikmal sistemiyle ilgili iyileştirme tedbirlerinin önerilmesi hedeflenmiştir.Araştırmanın birinci bölümünde; mevcut sistemin başlangıç ve devamının tanımlaması yapılmıştır. Bunlara dayalı olarak ta araştırmanın problemi, amacı, önemi, gerekçesi, sınırlılıkları ve faraziyeleri ortaya konmuştur.İkinci bölümde beslenme sisteminin tarihi evrimi ve gelişimi anlatılmıştır. Ayrıca kullandığımız besin maddeleri ve toplumda meydana gelen beslenme sorunları hakkında bilgi verilmiştir.Üçüncü bölümde; mevcut beslenme sistemi tanımlanmış, avantajları ve dezavantajları ortaya konmuştur. Ayrıca toplumda benzer uygulamalar da bulunan sivil sektör uygulamalarıyla, gelişmiş ülke ordulanndaki sistemler ortaya konmuştur.Dördüncü bölümde; önerilen yeni beslenme sistemi tanımlanmış ve bu sistemin nasıl uygulanacağı hakkında bilgi verilerek hedeflenen sonuç ortaya konmuştur.Bu araştırma ile yeni beslenme sisteminin, personelin tüm ihtiyaçlarını karşılayabileceği, eski sisteme göre avantajlarının oldukça yüksek olduğu, tespit edilen eksikliklerin giderilmesi halinde daha etkin çalışan bir beslenme sistemine olabileceği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
