Purpose: Malnutrition in children with cerebral palsy (CP) is a significant factor affecting their adequate growth and development. This study aimed at conducting surveys and evaluating the dietary intake of children with CP according to their BMI classification and to thereby highlight the dietary factors affecting the nutritional status of these children. Methods: A total of 16 children were enrolled between the age of four and twelve. These subjects were further classified into three groups, namely underweight, normal and obese, with 6, 8, and 2 children in each group, respectively. The general characteristics, motor disturbances, body composition, feeding problems, eating habits, nutritional intake, dietary variety, and food frequency for children with CP were evaluated. Results: It was observed that motor disturbances tended to increase in underweight children with CP. A significant decrease (p < 0.05) in disturbances related to oral feeding was observed with an increase in obesity. The pattern of eating habits revealed that subjects in the underweight group consumed unbalanced meals, while those in the obese group tended to consume larger meals at a faster pace. The feeding disturbance data revealed that those in the underweight group could not prepare their meals while the obese group had the problem of overeating and consuming an unbalanced diet (p < 0.05). Conclusion: It is necessary for both children with CP, who have a high degree of disability, and their caregivers to take lessons on adequate nutrient intake to prevent malnutrition. Moreover, it is necessary for the caregivers and children with CP having a low degree of disability to take lessons on providing and consuming a balanced diet and to focus on the intake of sufficient calcium in order to prevent obesity.
Beneficial Effects of Taurine on Metabolic Parameters in Animals and Humans
배민경,Kainat Ahmed,임정은 대한비만학회 2022 Journal of obesity & metabolic syndrome Vol.31 No.2
Taurine (2-aminoethanesulfonic acid) is a non-essential amino acid mainly obtained through diet in humans. Despite the lack of research on the health effects of taurine in animals and humans, it is widely used as a dietary supplement. Evidence from human and animal studies indicates that taurine is involved in conjugation of bile acids and regulation of blood pressure and has anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, and anti-obesogenic properties. Taurine can benefit both human and non-human animal health in multiple ways. However, few interventional and epidemiological studies regarding the beneficial impacts of taurine in humans and other animals have been conducted. Here, we review the evidence from animal and human studies showing that taurine protects against dyslipidemia, obesity, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus.
The Impact of Taurine on Obesity-Induced Diabetes Mellitus: Mechanisms Underlying Its Effect

This review explores the potential benefits of taurine in ameliorating the metabolic disorders of obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D), highlighting the factors that bridge these associations. Relevant articles and studies were reviewed to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between obesity and the development of T2D and the effect of taurine on those conditions. The loss of normal β-cell function and development of T2D are associated with obesity-derived insulin resistance. The occurrence of diabetes has been linked to the low bioavailability of taurine, which plays critical roles in normal β-cell function, anti-oxidation, and anti-inflammation. The relationships among obesity, insulin resistance, β-cell dysfunction, and T2D are complex and intertwined. Taurine may play a role in ameliorating these metabolic disorders through different pathways, but further research is needed to fully understand its effects and potential as a therapeutic intervention.

This paper investigates the electrical resistivity of piezoresistive CNT/PVAc-based nanocomposites. Different CNTs wt. % containing multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) dispersed in polyvinyl acetate and deposited on a flexible polymer substrate of ethylene glycol methacrylate (PVAc) matrix using conventional methods. The morphological changes were observed using SEM analysis. The resulting composites were subjected to compression by applying different values of pressure (9.3-2348.8 kPa). The results show that for lower wt. % of CNTs, the value of resistance decreased (~0.01526MΩ) with increasing applied pressure, which could be attributed to increasing the conducting paths with compression. However, increasing the concentration of CNTs to a higher value > 1.0 wt. %, results show the opposite behavior, an increase in resistance with an increase in pressure, which could be ascribed to the reorientation, bending, and entanglement of CNTs blocking the conducting paths. The percolation threshold for CNT/PVAc nanocomposite is 0.1 wt. %. This study provides valuable insights into the structural and sensing properties of CNT-based pressure Nanosensors and highlights their potential for use in various applications.
