Pieka, Magdalena. Nutritional Support teams: the cooperation among physicians and
pharmacists help improve cost-effectiveness of home parenteral nutrition (HPN) Journal P 251
(2014) Parenteral nutrition (PN) requires the intravenous provision of all essential nutrients,
proteins, energy, electrolytes, vitamins, trace elements and water. The main indication for home
parenteral nutrition is the aim of the study was to use the cooperation among physicians and
pharmacists, who were members of Nutritional Support Team. NST analyzed thoroughly all
regimens of patients. The analysis showed also that 16% of patients required additional
supplementation of calcium and 43% magnesium. The calculated amount of those electrolytes
reached up to 10 mmol per day and had to be supplemented by the use of additional intravenous
fluids. It became clear that previously used formulas neither covered patients needs nor
guaranteed pharmaceutical stability. Cooperation and mutual understanding and trust between
physicians and pharmacist allow achieving a successful nutritional therapy.

Factors: A Systematic Review Study Cite this article: Rahmati-Najarkolaei F, Ghaffarpasand E,
Gholami Fesharaki M, Jonaidi-Jafari N. Nutrition and physical activity educational intervention
on chd risk factors: A systematic review study. Arch Iran Med 2015; 18(1):51-57. Any major risk
factors, along or without family history, dietary regimen and lifestyle can induce multi-fold
increase in risk of CAD or facilitate the course of other cardiac diseases. CAD is coronary artery
disease is major risk factors can lead us to chronic problem. Furthermore controlling only one
risk factor is not enough to prevent CAD. Lifestyle, non-healthy dietary habits, and low physical
activity are highly associated with cardiac related mortality. There is 40% of other cardiac
problems are related to lifestyle. The goal for this article to be written is to provide health
education to improve the health knowledge and attitude and change behavior of the individuals
toward a better lifestyle in all aspect of life. Researchers and systematic reviews have suggested
and supported that education programs on healthy diet and physical activity are the most
effective programs and able to improve knowledge. The purposes of the review are to collect all
recent information regarding how education programs affect metabolic syndrome indices from
the literature. This is a fast-growing epidemic of chronic diseases causes many health challenges
over the world. Current study is to review the effect of nutrition and physical education
intervention in decreasing cardiovascular risk factors. 194 articles have been done to show a
positive effect of nutrition and physical activity educational interventions on common risk
factors. Review presents various studies on different age groups all over the world with different
cultures and mostly all of them demonstrated that nutrition and physical activity as well as
educational program can modify health risk factors. Most studies regarding this issue

demonstrate that only program with lifestyle and habitual changes are effective in reducing risk
factors. Therefore paying attention to both diet and physical activity for decreasing risk factor is
essential for each individual health.

Department of Pediatrics University of Alexandria Childrens Hospital, Alexandria, Egypt,

Department Of Primary Health Care, AbuNakhla hospital, Doha, Quatar (2014) Nutrition is
one of the most important factors affecting pubertal development. Nutritional status during
childhood has a significant effect on pubertal development and can explain as much as 25% of

Ramirez 6
the variation in the timing of puberty. Nutrition hormone interaction during critical periods of
growth plays an essential role in the control and prediction of metabolic adaption and pubertal
development later on life. Rapid early weight gain lead to taller childhood and higher insulin like
growth factor. Prepubertal of critical body weight and fat mass has been thought to have
noticeable role in the start of sexual maturation whereas underfeeding and malnutrition in
humans has been related to delayed pubertal onset. During puberty changes in lean body mass
and protein metabolism are regulated by numerous hormonal mechanisms. Under Nutrition is the
most important cause of growth and retardation worldwide. Poverty in the poor countries and
self-induced food restriction in the rich countries are chronic systematic disease are the main
causes. Primary or secondary malnutrition leads to serious consequences. Attention should be
paid both to maternal and early neonatal and childhood nutrition to assure proper timing and
progression of pubertal development and prevent obesity related reproductive complications.
