“…In Vietnam, recent studies have shown that the incidence of AP is increasing with socioeconomic development, particularly HTG-AP [ 14 , 20 ]. The rise in HTG-AP cases is attributed to the changes in lifestyle and dietary habits that have accompanied the country’s rapid economic growth, as well as the increased prevalence of obesity, which is a known risk factor for HTG-AP [ 21 ]. The consumption of alcohol and smoking, which are also risk factors for AP, have also increased among the Vietnamese population [ 22 ], further contributing to the increase in AP cases.…”

Background and Objectives: To describe the clinical and biological characteristics of patients with hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis (HTG-AP) and to evaluate the effectiveness of therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) in the management of HTG-AP. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 81 HTG-AP patients (30 treated with TPE and 51 treated conventionally). The main outcome was a decrease in serum triglyceride levels (<11.3 mmol/L) within 48 h of hospitalization. Results: The mean age of participants was 45.3 ± 8.7 years, and 82.7% were male. Abdominal pain was the most frequent clinical sign (100%), followed by dyspepsia (87.7%), nausea or vomiting (72.8%), and a bloated stomach (61.7%). The HTG-AP patients treated with TPE had significantly lower calcemia and creatinemia levels but higher triglyceride levels than those who received conservative treatment. They also had more severe diseases than those treated conservatively. All patients in the TPE group were admitted to the ICU, whereas the ICU admission rate in the non-TPE group was 5.9%. The TPE patients were more likely to experience a rapid decrease in triglyceride levels within 48 h of treatment than those treated conventionally (73.3% vs. 49.0%, p = 0.03, respectively). The decrease in triglyceride levels did not depend on the age, gender, or comorbidities of the HTG-AP patients or the severity of disease. However, TPE and early treatment in the first 12 h of disease onset were effective in rapidly reducing serum triglyceride levels (adjusted OR = 3.00, p = 0.04 and aOR = 7.98, p = 0.02, respectively). Conclusions: This report demonstrates the effectiveness of early TPE in reducing triglyceride levels among HTG-AP patients. More randomized clinical trials studies with a large sample size and post-discharge follow-up are needed to confirm the effectiveness of TPE methods in managing HTG-AP.

Background Early years of life are crucial for growth and development; any adverse events (such as nutrition deficiencies) during this period significantly influence children’s life-course developmental trajectories to maturity. In 1995, the World Health Organization launched its Global School Health Initiative with the aim of expanding the Health Promoting School (HPS) approach globally. Therefore the primary objective of this study is to assess the preschool preparedness intervention package in adoption of Nutrition Friendly School Initiative. Methodology: An exploratory sequential mixed method study design was carried out in three campuses of Aga Khan School (Mirpur Sakro, Junior Campus Vur, community-based school Sujawal) in the Sindh province of Pakistan. Study participants (children & parents) were selected using purposive sampling. Data collection includes in-depth interviews with the school community, pre & post assessment of knowledge of parents, baseline and end-line nutrition status of preschool children of age 24-59 months and beyond, and baseline & end line assessment of Preschool preparedness using checklist Results/outcomes: The qualitative findings has informed additional measures (setting up nutrition theme corner, including parenting package in manual, aligning school nutrition policy with school handbook, launch of special campaign for engagement and awareness purpose with parents) that were adapted within the intervention package. Preschool preparedness also improved from 10 points to 22 points out of 26 indicators (with some indicators labeled at not applicable). The knowledge of parents on nutrition and health promoting manual has been enhanced with mean improvement of 7.17 points (out of 25 points). Also the mean increase in MUAC, height and weight of preschool children are 0.27cm, 0.6cm and 0.26kg respectively. Discussion and conclusion: This initiative has improved preschools preparedness in creating an enabling environment in addressing health and nutritional problems within and beyond the classroom. Program implementers should not ignore this nexus of health, nutrition, and early child development by utilizing school platforms to improve the nutrition status and prevent all forms of malnutrition. Policy takeaway include initiating a school accreditation program to certify schools as Nutrition friendly and utilized the developed school nutrition policy developed to feed the development of National Nutrition Friendly school policy
