Journal ArticleDOI
Diarrhea, Stimulation and Growth Predict Neurodevelopment in Young North Indian Children
TL;DR: The results support the importance of early child stimulation and general nutrition for child development and suggest that diarrhea is an additional risk factor for adverse neurodevelopment in vulnerable children.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vitamin-D status and neurodevelopment and growth in young north Indian children: a secondary data analysis
Ranadip Chowdhury,Sunita Taneja,Nita Bhandari,Ingrid Kvestad,Tor A. Strand,Tor A. Strand,Maharaj K. Bhan +6 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that vitamin-D deficiency is associated with poor growth and neurodevelopment in young children is not supported, as the data do not support the hypothesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tor A. Strand,Tor A. Strand,Manjeswori Ulak,Manjeswori Ulak,Mari Hysing,Suman Ranjitkar,Ingrid Kvestad,Merina Shrestha,Per Magne Ueland,Adrian McCann,Prakash S. Shrestha,Laxman S. Shrestha,Ram Krishna Chandyo +12 more
TL;DR: The results do not support widespread vitamin B12 supplementation in marginalized infants from low-income countries, and an improved metabolic response but did not affect neurodevelopment, growth, or hemoglobin concentration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
Reliable determination of training-induced alterations in muscle fiber composition in human skeletal muscle using quantitative polymerase chain reaction.

TL;DR: It is shown that GeneFam and immunohistochemistry result in similar disclosures of alterations in muscle fiber composition in biopsies from musculus vastus lateralis and musculus biceps brachii of previously untrained young women after 12 weeks of progressive strength training.
