Migasena P

TL;DR: The increased presence of basophilic stippling and reticulocytes might indicate a mild stage of this type of anaemia among the vegetarians.

TL;DR: The erythrocyte antioxidant enzyme levels of catalase, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) of rib oflavin-deficient and Trichinella spiralis-infected rats were investigated and showed no biochemical sign of riboflavin deficiency.

TL;DR: Data are presented to support the hypothesis that proteinase inhibitors, which increase rapidly at the onset of infection, interrupt this catabolic effect which is the normal adaptive response to protein-energy malnutrition.

TL;DR: The results are discussed in respect of the possible role of ai-antitrypsin and a2-macroglobulin in the influence of these inhibitors on the balance of catabolism and anabolism of protein in protein-energy malnu- trition complicated by infection, where the proteinase inhibitors might also inhibit the mobilization of body's own protein.

TL;DR: The overall findings indicated that the water resource development by establishing better irrigation, resulted in an improved socio-economic and nutritional status among the villagers, but health conditions and associated parasitic diseases and some nutritional deficiency still existed in the children.
