Influence of Alteration of Dry Period Feeding Management on Body Weight and Body Measurements of Jersey Crossbred Cows at Lower Gangetic Region

Alteration during far off dry period feeding management was done to see its effect on body weight and body measurements of Jersey cross bred cows. This study was conducted on 14 healthy dairy animals which were separated into two comparable groups on the basis of almost similar age groups, parity, body weight, and body condition score. Statistically analyzed data revealed that there was significantly higher (p<0.01) tail head thickness in overall dry period and at calving in control group animals than treatment group animals. Significantly higher (p<0.01) overall abdominal girth after 4 months of lactation was found in control group animals as compared to treatment group animals. Significantly higher (p<0.01) body length during overall dry period and at calving was noticed in control group animals. Non significant (p>0.05) difference was reported in body weight and heart girth among control and treatment group animals. The coefficients of correlation indicated high and significant (P<0.01) correlation among body condition score, tail head thickness, body length, heart girth, abdominal girth in this study. It can be concluded that alteration of feeding management practices during far-off dry period does not significantly change body weight during dry period and post partum period but can lead to significant difference in some body measurements of Jersey crossbred cows at tropical lower Gangetic region. Correlation of parameters suggested that the larger body sized animal of same breed may produce more milk.

Adductor Pollicis Muscle Thickness for nutritional assessment: a systematic review / Espesura del Músculo Aductor del Pulgar para evaluación nutricional: una revisión sistemática / Espessura do Músculo Adutor do Polegar para avaliação nutricional: uma revisão sistemática

ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this study is to systematically review the scientific findings about the efficacy of the measure of the Adductor Pollicis Muscle Thickness for nutritional assessment of individuals in various clinical conditions. Method: Systematic review study performed according to the methodology Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Results: 13 original articles published between 2004 and 2016 were included. The measure was associated/correlated to parameters of nutritional status (such as weight, body mass index and Global Subjective Assessment) and muscle mass markers (such as circumference brachial muscle circumference, brachial muscle area, calf circumference, and muscle mass). All these correlations were weak or moderate. Conclusion: The measurement can be used in different populations, being able to estimate nutritional status and muscle mass. However, it is suggested that it be used in a complementary way to the nutritional evaluation, not constituting a single diagnostic/monitoring parameter.

Crescimento ponderal de bezerras suplementadas com monensina sódica / Weight gain of heifers supplemented with monensin

O estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o efeito da inclusão de monensina sódica no concentrado inicial de bezerras lactantes, sobre o ganho de peso, perímetro torácico, altura de cernelha, altura de garupa e comprimento corporal. Foram utilizadas 12 bezerras divididas em dois grupos experimentais de acordo com a data de nascimento. Foram avaliados os tratamentos controle (sem suplementação com monensina) e suplementação diária com 0,4 mg de monensina/kg de peso corporal, a dosagem de monensina iniciou em 0,2 mg/kg peso vivo, para adaptação dos animais, sendo os animais acompanhados a partir dos 30 dias até os 86 dias de idade. Os parâmetros avaliados semanalmente foram peso corporal, perímetro torácico, altura de cernelha, altura da garupa e comprimento corporal. Tais parâmetros não apresentaram variação em função da suplementação com monensina, o menor rendimento observado para o grupo suplementado pode ter sido decorrente da diminuição do consumo. A suplementação de monensina não apresentou efeito sobre desempenho ponderal de bezerras leiteiras em sistema de desaleitamento precoce.

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effects of the inclusion of sodium monensin on the starter concentrate of lactating heifers on weight gain, chest girth, withers height, hip height and body length. Twelve heifers were divided into two experimental groups according to date of birth: a control group without supplementation and a daily supplemented group with 0.4 mg of sodium monensin per kg of body weight. The animals were observed from thirty days of age until 86 days of age. Production parameters as body weight, chest girth, withers height, hip height and body length were weekly evaluated. These parameters did not show variation depending on supplementation with monensin, the lowest yield observed in the supplemented group may have been due to lower consumption. The supplementation of monensin had no effect on weight gain of dairy calves in early weaning system.

Objetivou-se com este trabalho descrever as medidas biométricas de cordeiros lactantes da raça Santa Inês criados em condições amazônicas; estabelecer relação entre a idade e as medidas corporais; bem como correlacionar essas medidas biométricas com o peso corporal. Utilizaram-se 75 animais criados em sistema semi-intensivo, submetidos a mensurações do peso corporal (PC), comprimento corporal (CC), altura do anterior (AA) e do posterior (AP), perímetro torácico (PT), largura da garupa (LG) e do peito (LP), comprimento da perna (CP), perímetro da perna (PP) e compacidade corporal (COMPC), ao nascer e aos 15, 30, 45 e 60 dias de idade. Somente as medidas LG e PP demonstraram regressões com R2 abaixo de 0,70 em relação à idade dos cordeiros. Todas as medidas corporais utilizadas nesta pesquisa, individualmente, demonstraram r positivo com o peso corporal. As variáveis biométricas que melhor compuseram a equação de predição do peso dos cordeiros utilizados neste estudo foram CC, AP, PT, LG e PP. Concluiu-se que a idade de cordeiros pode ser utilizada como preditora do peso e de algumas medidas biométricas corporais e que o peso pode ser estimado por meio de algumas medidas biométricas...

This study aimed to 1) describe the biometric measurements of Santa Inês lambs until weaning, when raised in the Amazonia conditions; 2) establish the relationship between age and body measurements; and 3) correlate these biometric measurements to body weight. 75 animals submitted to semi-intensive breeding were used, and underwent measurements of body weight (BW), body length (BL), height of the forelimb (HF) and hindlimb (HH), thoracic perimeter (TP), width of rump (WR) and chest (WC), length of leg (LL), perimeter of leg (PL) and more body compacity (COMP), at birth and at 15, 30, 45 and 60 days of age. As a result, the WR and PL measurements demonstrated regressions with R2 below 0.70 in relation to age of lambs. All biometrical measurements used in this study individually demonstrated positive r with body weight. Biometric variables that compose the equation for predicting weight of lambs used in this study were BL, HH, TP, WR and PL. It was concluded that the age of lambs can be used as a predictor of weight and some body biometric measurements. The weight can also be estimated by some biometric measurements...

Effects of gamma oryzanol supplementation on anthropometric measurements & muscular strength in healthy males following chronic resistance training.

Background & objectives: Enhanced muscle strength is seen when resistance exercise is combined with the consumption of nutritional supplements. Although there is a limited number of studies available about the efficacy of gamma oryzanol supplementation with resistance exercise in humans, but its usage as a nutritional supplement for strength is common in athletes. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of gamma oryzanol supplementation during 9-week resistance training on muscular strength and anthropometric measurements of young healthy males. Methods: In this double-blind clinical trial, changes of anthropometric measurements and muscular strength were studied after chronic resistance exercise and gamma oryzanol supplementation in 30 healthy volunteers (16 in supplement and 14 in placebo). Each day, gamma oryzanol supplement (600 mg) and placebo (the same amount of lactose) were consumed after training. The participants exercised with 80 per cent 1-Repetition Maximum (1-RM), for one hour and four days/week. Anthropometric measurements and subjects’ 1-RM for muscular strength were determined at the commencement and end of the 9-week study. Results: There was no significant difference between the baseline characteristics and target variables at baseline between the two groups. After gamma oryzanol supplementation, there was no significant difference in the means of anthropometric and skin fold measurements between the supplement and placebo groups. However, there were significant differences between the supplement and placebo groups for 1-RM of bench press and leg curl, which showed that gamma oryzanol improved muscle strength following resistance training. Interpretation & conclusions: Our findings indicated that 600 mg/day gamma oryzanol supplementation during the 9-week resistance training did not change anthropometric and body measurements, but it increased muscular strength in young healthy males. Further, studies need to be done in trained athletes, women, and in patients who suffer from muscular fatigue.

Suplementación parenteral con cobre y zinc en bovinos Brahman en crecimiento en la región sur occidental de Venezuela / Copper and Zinc Parenteral Supplementation in Growing Brahman Cattle in the West-Southern region of Venezuela

Con el objetivo de evaluar el efecto de la suplementación parenteral con cobre y zinc sobre la ganancia de peso (GDP), incremento en medidas corporales y variables hematológicas, se utilizaron hembras (n=33) y machos (n=34) Brahman con un peso de 165 y 186 kg, respectivamente, los cuales fueron reagrupados y asignados a cuatro tipos de suplementación de ambos sexos cada uno: 1) suplementación mineral oral (SMO); 2) SMO más cobre inyectado (SMO-Cu); 3) SMO más zinc inyectado (SMOZn); y 4) SMO más cobre y zinc inyectados (SMO-Cu-Zn). El suplemento mineral oral (50 g/animal/día) contenía 500 ppm de Cu y 2.200 ppm de Zn. El Cu y Zn se suministraron por vía parenteral subcutánea al inicio del experimento, en una dosis única de 50 y 57,35 mg/100 kg de PV, respectivamente. Cada 28 días se registró el peso y se tomaron muestras de sangre, para hematocrito (Hct) y hemoglobina (Hb). Se midió la altura a la cruz (AC), altura a la grupa (AG) y perímetro torácico (PT), al inicio y al final del experimento. Este tuvo una duración de 120 días entre diciembre y abril. Los animales se manejaron bajo pastoreo rotacional en potreros de Brachiaria decumbens y B. humidicola, con una carga animal promedio de 1,22 UA/ha. La GDP no fue afectada por los tratamientos con un valor promedio global de 101,1 g/animal/día. Los grupos no inyectados con zinc tuvieron mayor incremento de AC (5,1 cm) que los restantes grupos (P<0,05). Los incrementos en AG y PT no fueron afectados por los tratamientos, con medias de 4,83 y 6,53 cm, respectivamente. Se concluye que la suplementación mineral parenteral no mejoró la GDP y los incrementos en medidas corporales, bajo las condiciones experimentales descritas, cuando los animales consumían forrajes bajos en proteína y ligeramente elevados en Fe y Mn.

In order to evaluate the effect of Copper and Zinc parenteral supplementation on average daily gain (ADG), increases in body measurements and hematological values, growing Brahman females (n = 33) and males (n = 34) were used, with body weight of 165 and 186 kg respectively, which were grouped into four sets of both sexes and assigned to four types of supplementation: 1) oral mineral supplementation (OMS), 2) OMS and copper injected (OMS-Cu), 3) OMS and zinc injected (OMS-Zn), and 4) OMS, copper and zinc injected (OMS-Cu-Zn). The oral mineral supplement (50 g/animal/day) contained 500 ppm Cu and 2,200 ppm Zn. Copper and Zn were applied by subcutaneous injection at the beginning of the experiment in a single dose of 50 and 57.35 mg/100 kg of BW, respectively. Every 28 days, body weight was recorded and blood samples were taken for hematocrit (Hct) and hemoglobin (Hb) analysis. Wither height (WH), hip height (HH) and girth chest (GC) were measured at the beginning and end of the experiment. The experiment lasted 120 days between December and April. The animals were managed under rotational grazing in pastures of Brachiaria decumbens and B. humidicola, with a stocking rate of 1.22 AU/ha. Average daily gain was not affected by treatments with an overall average value of 101.1 g/animal/day. The groups with no Zn injected had a greater increase in WH (5.1 cm) than the other groups (P<0.05). The increases in HH and GC were not affected by treatments, with averages of 4.83 and 6.53 cm, respectively. It is concluded that parenteral mineral supplementation did not improve ADG and increases in body measurements, under the experimental conditions described, when animals consume forages low in protein and slightly higher in Fe and Mn.

Comparação de métodos de avaliação nutricional empregados no acompanhamento de pacientes submetidos a transplante de células-tronco hematopoéticas alogênico / Comparison of nutritional assessment methods employed to monitor patients undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplantation

Pacientes submetidos a transplante de células-tronco hematopoéticas alogênico (TCTH alo) exigem atenção diferenciada devido à agressividade do tratamento. O objetivo desse trabalho foi comparar os métodos disponíveis e a frequência de avaliações nutricionais nesses pacientes. Dezessete pacientes foram avaliados semanalmente entre o dia D-7 e D+28, divididos em cinco intervalos. Foram avaliados altura, peso, índice de massa corporal (IMC), circunferência do braço (CB), dobra cutânea tricipital (DCT), circunferência muscular do braço (CMB), percentual de perda de peso ( por centoPP), dosagem de albumina sérica, balanço hídrico total (BHT), controle de ingestão e percentual de massa magra (MM), massa gorda (MG) e água (H2O) através de bioimpedância elétrica. A média de consumo energético foi de 1.377 (DP±582Kcal). 76,47 por cento (n=13) deles tiveram diminuição de peso e, desses, 57 por cento (n=8) foram classificados como significativo; a média de por centoPP foi de 6,27 Kg (DP±4,25). A CB mostrou diferença significativa (p<0,05) entre cinco intervalos, mostrando-se a mais sensível das medidas antropométricas. Os por cento MM e por cento MG mostraram diferença significativa (p<0,05) entre quatro intervalos. Pela correlação de Pearson mostrou-se significativa (p<0,01) para as variáveis: peso X CB; CB X DCT; CB X CMB; CB X IMC; MM X MG; MM X H2O; BHT X H2O. O percentual de perda de peso se mostrou o mais sensível dos métodos avaliados, e, associado às avaliações de DCT e CB quinzenais, é adequado para o acompanhamento da evolução do estado nutricional.

Patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation require special attention due to the aggressiveness of treatment. The aim of this study was to compare methods used to monitor nutritional status (including anthropometric methods of bioelectrical impedance analysis, dietary intake and biochemical control) and the frequency of nutritional evaluations in these patients. Weekly assessments were performed for six female and eleven male patients between day (D)-7 and D+28, divided into 5 time intervals. The height, weight, triceps skinfold (TS), arm circumference (AC), arm muscle circumference (AMC), percentage of weight loss ( percentWL), concentration of serum albumin, body mass index (BMI), total water balance (TWB) and control of intake were evaluated. Additionally, the percentages of lean mass (LM), fat mass (FM) and water (H2O) were assessed by electric bioimpedance. The average daily food intake was 1377 ± 582Kcal. Of the total, 76.47 percent (n = 13) of patients suffered weight loss with 57 percent (n = 8) of weight loss being classified as significant. Among the different anthropometric measurements, arm circumference was the most sensitive with significant differences between the 5 time intervals. Additionally, there were significant differences for the percentages of lean mass (p <0.05) and for fat mass (p <0.05). Using the Pearson correlation, significant differences (p <0.01) were calculated for the following variables: weight vs. AC, AC vs. TS, AC vs. AMC, AC vs. BMI, LM vs. FM, LM vs. H2O and H2O vs. TWB. According to the results, the percentage of weight loss in association with fortnightly DCT and CB assessments are the best way to monitor the nutritional status.

Morphometric differentiation and asessment of function of the fulani and yoruba ecotype indigenous chickens of Nigeria

Data on bodyweight and 11 body measurements were taken on 51 Fulani and 101 Yoruba ecotype chicken from two central poultry markets: Ilorin in the middle belt and Ibadan in the southwest region of Nigeria, respectively. The aim was to provide baseline information on size characteristics of Fulani and Yoruba ecotype chickens, differentiate between the types and use the morphometrical variables for a preliminary assessment of type and function. Results showed that least square means of live weight, wing and shank length, body, thigh and toe length, beak length and breast breadth of the Fulani ecotype were generally higher (P < 0.01) than those of the Yoruba ecotype. The males were also superior (P < 0.01) to the females for comb, wing, shank length and breast breadth while live weight, toe and thigh length also differ (P< 0.05) within each ecotype. The comb of males was more prominent than those of the females. Coefficients of variation were very small signifying a monotypic condition and an almost equal opportunity of selection for type based on body parameters of the two ecotype chickens. The Fulani ecotype was bigger than the Yoruba ecotype chicken. The significantly longer (p<0.05) bodies of the Fulani suggests a departure in function between the genotypes. The Fulani chickens appear more closely suited for egg production than the Yoruba type. Their potential for developing a more adapted commercial stock and genetic improvement of the chickens for the region and other implications of type on function are discussed.

Los datos sobre peso corporal y 11 mediciones corporales se hicieron en 51 pollos ecotipo Fulani y 101 pollos ecotipo Yoruba de dos mercados centrales de aves de corral: de Llorin en el Centro y de Ibadan en la región Sudoeste de Nigeria, respectivamente. El objetivo fue proporcionar información básica sobre las características de tamaño de los pollos ecotipos Fulani y Yoruba, diferenciar entre los tipos y el uso de variables morfométricas para una evaluación preliminar del tipo y función. Los resultados mostraron que las medias de peso vivo, longitud de ala y patas, cuerpo, muslos y pies, largo del pico y ancho del pecho del ecotipo Fulani fueron en general mayores (P <0,01) que las del ecotipo Yoruba. Los machos también fueron mayores (P <0,01) a las hembras en la longitud de la cresta y ala, largo de la pata y ancho de pecho, mientras que el peso vivo, longitud del dedo del pie y el muslo también fueron diferentes (P <0,05) dentro de cada ecotipo. La cresta de los machos fue más prominente que las de hembras. Los coeficientes de variación fueron muy pequeños, lo que significa una condición monotípica y una similitud de oportunidades de selección para el tipo, basada en parámetros corporales. El ecotipo Fulani fue más grande que Yoruba. El significativo mayor cuerpo (P <0,05) del Fulani sugiere una salida en función entre los genotipos. El pollo Fulani parece más adecuado para la producción de huevos que el tipo Yoruba. Su potencial para el desarrollo de un stock comercial más adaptado y la mejora genética de los pollos de la región y otras implicancias del tipo función se discuten.

Caracterización morfométrica del híbrido Yaque pintado (Pseudoplatystoma Fasciatum x Leiarius Marmoratus) y sus progenitores (Siluriformes: Pimelodidae)

Para conocer las divergencias y/o convergencias en la forma del cuerpo entre el híbrido yaque pintado y sus progenitores, se evaluó por medio de un análisis exploratorio, el contorno corporal total y distintas regiones del cuerpo. Para ello se utilizó un análisis de componentes principales (ACP) con las matrices de covarianza y correlación, valiéndose del método jackknife, con el propósito de verificar cuándo un coeficiente dentro del componente es estadísticamente diferente de cero. Los análisis demuestran que el híbrido exhibe la forma corporal general de la especie progenitora P. fasciatum. Se confirma además, que el ACP con la matriz de correlación, si bien logró extraer en la mayoría de los casos un mejor vector de tamaño isométrico, no permitió verificar las relaciones dentro de los grupos de estudio, ya que sus gráficas por lo general ubicaron a los híbridos en posición intermedia en relación a sus progenitores, dando la impresión de que éstos heredan los caracteres de uno y otro padre prácticamente en la misma proporción. Mientras que al aplicar el ACP con matriz de covarianza, las gráficas sí permitieron visualizar las relaciones entre los grupos.

Morphometric Characterization of the Yaque Pintado Hybrid (Pseudoplatystoma fasciatum x Leiarius marmoratus) and its Parents (Siluriformes: Pimelodidae) Abstract In order to elucidate both the divergences and the convergences in body shape between the yaque pintado hybrid and its parents, an exploratory analysis of total body shape and of different body regions was carried out. To test if a coefficient within the component was statistically different from zero, a principal component analysis (PCA) with covariance matrixes and correlation was done, with the aid of the jackknife method. Results of the analyses show that the hybrid exhibits the general body shape of the parental species P. fasciatum. Furthermore, it was also corroborated that the PCA with the correlation matrix allowed to extract a better isometric size vector in most of the cases, but it did not allow to verify the relationships within the groups studied, due to the fact that their graphs in general, placed hybrids in an intermediate position relative to their parents, giving the impression that hybrids practically inherit the characters from each parent in equal proportions. On the other hand, when the PCA, along with the application of the covariance matrix was applied, the resulting graphs did allow the visualization of the relationship between groups.

Application of Morphological Indices in the Assessment of Type and Function in Sheep / Aplicación de Índices Morfológicos en la Evaluación de Tipo y Función en Oveja

Live weight and eight body measurements records taken on 284 sheep comprising 226 West African Dwarf and 58 Yankasa sheep were analysed. The sheep were extensively managed within the south west Nigeria. The aim was to achieve a preliminary assessment of type and function from zoometrical indices produced from combinations of different morphometric scores. The indices used were weight, height slope, length index, width slope, depth index, foreleg length balance and cumulative index. The body measurements used were wither height, body length, hip length, hip width, rump height, foreleg length, chest width and heart girth. The body measurements showed that the Yankasa is bigger than the WAD sheep. The measured parts are highly correlated. Tested indices showed that both sheep are typical meat animals. This was shown by the cumulative index, length and balance indices which were 2.80, 1.01 and 0.59 in WAD and 1.18, 0.93 and 0.75 for Yankasa respectively. The distribution of the indices among the different age groups revealed that weight index is highest at the 8-tooth age for both breeds , this trend is the same for length index, foreleg length index and cumulative indices. The respective coefficient of variation between breeds indicates the amount of opportunity available for improving the breeds through selection. Further, height slope index/length index and weight index and height slope/cumulative index were significantly (p<0.05) correlated. The implications for the respective varieties are discussed.

Fueron medidos el peso en vivo y 8 parámetros del cuerpo, en 284 ovejas, siendo 226 enanas del Oeste Africano y 58 ovejas Yankasa. Las ovejas fueron obtenidas dentro del Sur Oeste de Nigeria. El objetivo fue lograr una valoración preliminar del tipo y función de índices zoométricos producto de combinaciones de diferentes valores morfométricos. Los índices usados fueron: Peso, altura inclinada, índice de longitud, anchura inclinada, índice de profundidad, longitud equilibrio pata delantera y balance e índice acumulado. Las medidas del cuerpo usadas fueron: altura, longitud del cuerpo, altura de la cadera, ancho de la cadera, altura de las ancas, longitud pata delantera, ancho del pecho y contorno del corazón. Las medidas del cuerpo mostaron que que la oveja Yankasa es más grande la oveja WAD. Las partes medidas están altamente correlacionadas. Índices testeados mostraron que ambas ovejas son animales típicos de carne. Esto fue demostrado por el índice acumulado, longitud y equilibrio de los índices que fueron 2.80, 1.01 y 0.59 en WAD y 1.18, 0.93 y 0.75 en Yankasa, respectivamente. La distribución de los índices entre los diferentes grupos etarios reveló que el índice peso es más alto a la edad de 8 dientes, para ambas ovejas. Esta tendencia es la misma para índice de longitud, largo de pata delantera e índices acumulados. El coeficiente de variación respectivo entre ovejas indica la cantidad de evaluar oportunidades para seleccionar las ovejas a través de instructivos. Además, el índice de altura inclinada/índice de longitud y el índice de peso y altura inclinada/índice acumulado se correlacionaron significativamente (p<0.05). Fueron discutidas las implicancias para las variedades respectivas.

Peso corpóreo relaciona-se à evolução clínica em cardiopatia congênita tratada cirurgicamente / Body weight is related to clinical outcome in surgically treated congenital heart disease / El peso corporal se relaciona con el resultado clínico en tratados quirúrgicamente la enfermedad cardíaca congénita

Desnutrição e perda de peso podem modificar desfavoravelmente a evolução pós-operatória (PO) de crianças portadoras de cardiopatias congênitas submetidas a cirurgia cardiovascular (CCV). Nosso objetivo foi estudar a influência da modificação ponderal e o tempo de internação em 19 crianças de zero a dois meses, portadoras de cardiopatias congênitas, submetidas a CCV, na mortalidade PO. Elas receberam terapia nutricional enteral modular (150Kcal/Kg/dia) no PO até a alta da unidade de terapia intensiva e foram divididas em dois grupos: óbito (O) e sobrevida (S). Ocorreu desnutrição pré-operatória em 50%. O grupo O permaneceu mais tempo que o grupo S no hospital. O grupo S teve ganho ou manutenção do peso, enquanto o grupo O perdeu peso. Observou-se correlação positiva entre o tempo de internação e a perda de peso no grupo O (0,7291) e negativa para o grupo S (- 0,7405). A perda de peso correlacionou-se com o maior tempo de internação no grupo O e a manutenção ou ganho de peso correlacionada com a sobrevida no período PO de CCV por cardiopatias congênitas.

Malnutrition and weight loss may adversely modify the postoperative (PO) of children with congenital heart disease undergoing cardiac surgery (CCV). We studied the influence of changes in body weight and length of hospitalization in 19 children aged zero to two months, with congenital heart disease who underwent SVC, PO mortality. They received enteral feeding modular (150Kcal/Kg/dia) in the PO until discharge from the intensive care unit and were divided into two groups: death (O) and survival (S). Preoperative malnutrition occurred in 50%. The group stayed longer than the S group at the hospital. The S group had gain or weight maintenance, while the group lost weight. We observed a positive correlation between length of stay and the weight loss in group O (0.7291) and negative for the group S (- 0.7405). Weight loss correlated with longer hospital stay in group O and the maintenance or weight gain correlated with survival in the PO to LCC for congenital heart disease.

La malnutrición y la pérdida de peso puede modificar negativamente el postoperatorio (PO) de los niños con cardiopatías congénitas sometidos a cirugía cardiaca (CCV). Se estudió la influencia de los cambios en el peso corporal y la duración de la hospitalización en 19 niños de cero a dos meses, con una cardiopatía congénita que se sometieron a SVC, la mortalidad PO. Ellos recibieron alimentación enteral modular (150Kcal/Kg/dia) en el pedido hasta el alta de la unidad de cuidados intensivos y se dividieron en dos grupos: la muerte (O) y supervivencia (S). Malnutrición preoperatoria en 50%. El grupo se quedó más tiempo que el grupo S en el hospital. El grupo S presentó ganancia o el mantenimiento del peso, mientras que el grupo pierde peso. Se observó una correlación positiva entre la longitud de la estancia y la pérdida de peso en el grupo O (0.7291) y negativo para el grupo S (- 0.7405). La pérdida de peso se correlacionó con una mayor estancia hospitalaria en el grupo O y la ganancia o mantenimiento de peso se correlacionó con la supervivencia en el pedido a LCC para la enfermedad cardíaca congénita.
