    Thirty years ago, we reported a high frequency of nutritional anemia among pregnant women of low socioeconomic class, from Zulia State, Venezuela. Today, preliminary results, show an increase of anemia from 20% in the year of 1972 to 44% at the end of the first trimester of gestation, and from 53% to 63% at the end of the third trimester. These results could be the reflection of the impairment of the economic conditions in the country and the failure of the prenatal care services in preventing or treating anemia in pregnancy.

    Inflammatory Bowel Disease III: Diagnostic Studies and Management I-Nutritional Therapy

    Various diagnostic tests are employed in the diagnostic process for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), particularly to differentiate between Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
    Diagnostic studies
    A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the colonic...

    Parentral Nutrition: Centeral and Peripheral Parental Nutrition

    Parenteral Nutrition (PN) delivers essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. It is commonly used for individuals with severe digestive disorders or conditions that prevent normal nutrient absorption.
    PN can be administered through two primary routes:
    1. Central Parenteral Nutrition (CPN):
    CPN involves delivering a high concentration of nutrients through a large vein. This is typically achieved using a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) or,...

    Diabetes Mellitus: Type 2 and Gestational

    Type 2 diabetes, characterized by insulin resistance, arises when the insulin receptors on cells lose responsiveness to insulin, diminishing the cell's capacity to take up glucose, resulting in elevated blood glucose levels. To receive a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes, a series of blood glucose tests are necessary to assess whether the blood glucose falls within normal parameters. If the result is out of the normal range, a patient may be diagnosed as prediabetic or diabetic, depending on the...
