Multisensory supplementary instructional material in earth and space science
Authors: Bitong Agnes , Chua Elisa
Published: March 2024

This study determined the effect of the developed multisensory supplementary instructional material in enhancing scientific knowledge of grade 9 learners. Moreover, the study assessed significant difference between the pre-and post-assessment scores of the learners who used the instructional material and the significant relationship between the perceived acceptability of the multisensory supplementary instructional material and the students’ level of scientific knowledge. Using descriptive-developmental research, it involved 30 grade 9 students during the school year 2022-2023. A cognitive diagnostic test in terms of remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating was used to identify the least-mastered competency among the topics. Pre-and post-assessment, which measured the scientific knowledge of the students, went through internal and external validation of the panel of examiners and group of teachers. Results revealed a significant difference between the pre-and post-assessment scores of the students as to content and epistemic knowledge whereas there is no significant difference found in the procedural knowledge. It can be inferred that the students enhanced their scientific knowledge after the utilization of the multisensory supplementary instructional material. However, there is no significant relationship obtained between the students’ perception on the acceptability of the material to their level of scientific knowledge.

Published: March 2024

Background and Aim: Distal radius fractures are the most frequent upper extremity fractures in the whole population. The incidence of distal radius fractures is 195.2/100,000, and the rate is increasing. It can occur with low-energy trauma in the elderly associated with osteoporosis. The purpose of this study is to compare the two different treatment groups (1. Sedation analgesia, 2. Supracondylar radial nerve block) in terms of reduction in Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score, the length of hospital stay, complications, side effects, patient-physician satisfaction, and the ease of application.

Materials and Methods: Patients diagnosed with distal radius fracture were enrolled prospectively, to whom the study’s exclusion criteria do not apply. The patients included in the study were randomly separated into two groups. Ketofol was administered to the sedation and analgesia group’s patients at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg (ketamine 0.5 mg/kg, propofol 0.5 mg/kg) intravenously, and supracondylar radial nerve block was performed on the other group’s patients under ultrasound guidance.

Results: There were 20 patients (6 male, 14 female) in the sedation and analgesia group and 21 patients (11 male, 10 female) in the supracondylar radial nerve block group. There was no significant difference between the groups regarding patient-physician satisfaction and complications. The length of hospital stay was significantly shorter in the supracondylar radial nerve block group (49.25 ± 4.05) compared with the sedation and analgesia group (125 ± 5.85) (p < 0.01). The mean reduction VAS score in the block group was observed to be lower than the admission VAS score (p < 0.01).

Conclusion: Consequently, ultrasound-guided supracondylar radial nerve block would be a valuable alternative to procedural sedation analgesia and could become routine clinical practice in treating distal radius fractures.

Published: March 2024

Sixty patients with COVID-19 infection were categorized into mild and severe groups, and their immune response was analyzed using flow cytometry and complete blood count. An observed increase in immune activation parameters, notably a higher percentage of CD4 lymphocytes co-expressing CD69 and CD25 molecules, and enhanced activity of the macrophage-monocyte cell line was noted in the mild group. Although Group 2 (severe COVID) had fewer CD4 cells, significant migration and proliferation were evident, with increased CD4CD69, CD8 HLA-DR+, and CD8CD69 lymphocytes. The CD4 to CD8 ratio in Group 1 suggested potential autoimmune reactions, while Group 2 indicated potential immunosuppression from severe infection and employing immunosuppressive drugs. Additionally, Group 2 exhibited an increased neutrophil count, hinting at possible bacterial co-infection. Group 1 showed differences in CD4RO and CD8RA lymphocyte populations, implying that cellular immunity plays a role in developing efficient postinfectious immunity. This intimation suggests that vaccination might mitigate the severity of the coronavirus infection and prevent complications, including long-term COVID-19.

No relatório do secretário do Interior, Vicente de Carvalho, apresentado em 7 de abril de 1892 ao vice-governador de São Paulo, Cerqueira César, nota-se o interêsse daquele secretário em dar à Capital do Estado, um laboratório de bacteriologia, assim como um de análises químicas. O primeiro se justificava pelo estado sanitário paulista que era dos mais lamentáveis. O próprio Vicente de Carvalho chamava a atenção para o pôrto de Santos, considerando-o uma porta aberta a tôda sorte de moléstias e um dos pontos principais de irradiação da febre amarela. Ponderou o secretário do Interior que o problema agora não se resumia mais em evitar o surto de moléstias, mas também extirpá-Ias, para o que eram precisos meios e êsses meios seriam fornecidos por um laboratório de bacteriologia.

Published: March 2024

Cervical cancer (CaCx) is the most common cancer among women and is also the major cause of death worldwide. It is the most common cancer among black Zimbabwean women accounting for 29.4% of the cases. The purpose of this study was to determine the knowledge of cervical cancer and screening practices among women in Bindura District, Zimbabwe. A descriptive cross–sectional research study was conducted. The study sample consisted of 100 consenting women who were selected from Bindura Hospital, Chipadze and Chiwaridzo Council Clinics using simple random sampling method. Data were collected by face-to-face interviews using a questionnaire as a guide. Data were processed using Statistical Package Social Sciences (SSPS) software version 20 and analyzed descriptively. Data revealed that knowledge of risks factors and preventive measures for cervical cancer was poor as only (31%) had high knowledge levels. Although the majority of the respondents (77%) had heard about cervical cancer screening only (22%) were screened, the major reason cited being lack of knowledge. Perception of risk for cervical cancer was poor as (58%) of the respondents did not perceive to be at risk of cervical cancer. The study revealed that cervical cancer knowledge level was very low and screening practices were very poor. Therefore, health care providers need to intensify awareness on cervical cancer through health education across women of all age groups. The government should also make cervical cancer screening available and accessible at most health care facilities.

Published: March 2024

Exhausted nurses in providing nursing care can impact work stress. Many factors cause work stress. Work stress is the type of psychological stress that reduces the lacrimal gland's activity, affecting dry eye syndrome. The study aims to analyze the correlation between work stress and nurses' dry eye syndrome in Nganjuk General Hospital. The study was a descriptive correlative observational with a cross-sectional design. The sample was 84 nurses, taken by simple random sampling. Data were collected using Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and Ocular Surface Disease (OSDI) questionnaires. The study showed nurses experienced mild stress (96.43%) and moderate dry eye syndrome (36.90%). There was a positive correlation between work stress and dry eye syndrome in nurses in the weak category (r=0.356; p= 0.001< 0.05). There were no significant differences in work stress by age, gender, working period, and marital status (p=0.388; p=0.687 p=0.730; p = 0.839 > α 0.05). There was a significant difference in work stress based on education (p=0.033 < α 0,05). There were no significant differences in dry eye syndrome with age, gender, working period, and marital status (p=0.644; p=0.436; p= 0.865; p=0.072; p=0.719 > α 0,05). The study conclusion is that work stress is related to dry eyes syndrome. Apart from that, work stress is also influenced by the level of education. Therefore, interventions to reduce work stress in nurses should pay attention to education level to reduce the risk of dry eyes syndrome.

Authors: Mustika Sari Yesi , Amelia Amraini
Published: March 2024

Anemia is a condition in which the body experiences a lack of hemoglobin levels in the blood. In Indonesia, those who experience anemia the most are teenagers with a prevalence of 30-55%, meanwhile the proportion of anemia in women is higher than in men with a prevalence of 23.9%. Anemia in teenagers increases pregnant women's risk of chronic energy deficiency, stunting, low birth weight and other health problems. Body mass index (BMI) as an indicator of nutritional status and duration of menstruation is one of the factors causing anemia in adolescent girls, so this research aims to determine the relationship between BMI and duration of menstruation on hemoglobin levels in adolescent girls. Method: The research used a quasi-experimental design using the Nonequivalent Control Group Design model by selecting 60 young women who met the inclusion criteria as a sample. Results: Pearson correlation analysis shows that BMI is not correlated with hemoglobin levels with a p-value of 0.717, while the length of menstruation is correlated with hemoglobin levels in adolescent girls with the strength of the relationship being sufficient with an r-0.331 p-value of 0.010, which means that the longer the adolescent girls menstruate, the longer they menstruate. the lower the hemoglobin level.

This study aims to determine the leadership orientations of clinical chief nurses. In the descriptive study, the G-Power 3.1.9.4 program was used to calculate the sample size and the number of people planned to be included in the study was calculated as 50 with 5% error and 95% power. In this direction, all (50) clinical nurses working in a university hospital between 10.05.2023 and 30.05.2023 will form the study sample group. The data of the study will be collected from individuals with a socio-demographic "Leadership Orientation Questionnaire" prepared by the researchers. 84.6% of the participants were female and 15.4% were male. While 89.7% of the participants are married, 10.3% are single. While 56.4% of them are graduates, 43.6% of them are undergraduates. 46.2% of the participants have been in management for 0-5 years, 28.2% for 10 years and above, and 25.6% for 5-10 years. While the participants' human-oriented leadership behavior score average was 7.79, the minimum score was 3 and the maximum score was 12. While the task-oriented behavior average score was 12.62, the minimum score was 4 and the maximum score was 19. While the leadership orientation total score average was 20.41, the minimum score was 7, and the maximum score was 27. As a result of this study, there is no significant difference between the sub-dimensions of the leadership orientation scale and age, gender, marital status, educational status, duration of work in the profession, and management process. Therefore, extra pieces of training should be planned for responsible nurses, taking into account clinical leadership. There are few studies on this subject in the literature. It is recommended to increase the studies.

Farmers often experience psychosocial problems caused by stress due to crop failures and a low economy. Psychosocial issues can also occur due to constraints experienced by farmers, such as weather changes, large imports of materials, and decreased prices for food grown due to abundant crop yields. This study aims to discover the psychosocial problems in farmers caused by stress due to crop failure and a low economy. This study uses the literature review method. The search was carried out based on three databases: Science Direct, PubMed, and Google Scholar. Some of the psychosocial problems that can occur in farmers include anxiety, fatigue, loss of interest in usual activities, difficulty sleeping, and changes in body weight. Farmers can also feel lonely and isolated because they tend to do their work on the farm. In addition, farmers can also experience stress due to social pressure from the surrounding community, which requires them to be successful in farming. This can affect the mental health of farmers and exacerbate pre-existing psychosocial conditions. Farmers who work in agriculture have many economic and psychosocial risks. Among other things, farmers can be at risk of experiencing crop failure, which can cause various things. Therefore, farmers need to know how to deal with crop failure, how to prevent it, and how to cope with stress during crop failure as a first step to dealing with the risk of psychosocial disturbances in farmers due to crop failure.

AFood is a basic need for living beings whose function is as a source of energy used for activities and growth and development. Food safety is needed to prevent food from possible biological, chemical, and other contaminants that can interfere with, harm, and endanger human health and do not conflict with the religion, beliefs, and culture of the community so that it is safe for consumption. Escherichia coli is considered an indicator of water and food pollution and also shows a sign of poor sanitation. The quality of jalangkote sauce is required to meet the requirements set out in the Regulation of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia Number 1096/Menkes/Per/VI/2011 with the number of Escherichia coli in food showing zero (negative), which means there should not be a single colony of Escherichia coli in the food. This study aims to identify Escherichia coli in jalangkote sauce samples sold in Makassar city. The type of research used is laboratory observation with a total of 7 jalangkote sauce samples. Based on identification on Eosin Methylen Blue Agar (EMBA) media, there are no metallic green colonies. It can be concluded that there is no contamination of Escherichia coli bacteria.

Published: March 2024

Parabens are preservatives that can inhibit the growth of microorganisms and are used to extend the shelf life of various foods, cosmetics and pharmaceutical products. This preservative is most popularly used throughout the world where more than one type of paraben is generally added in each product or in combination with other preservatives. Parabens function to stop the growth of fungi and bacteria that can damage the product so that it can extend its shelf life. Parabens have been studied for their effects on test animals which show that they have estrogenic effects and affect reproductive function in male animals. In addition, the toxicity of parabens has been confirmed for systemic absorption in humans. Overall, the types of parabens that are widely used as preservatives are methylparaben and n-propyl paraben. In Indonesia, the use of parabens in baby products is still used to inhibit the growth of microorganisms and extend the shelf life of products because they are cheap and very effective. Preliminary research was conducted to determine the type and concentration of parabens used in several baby products so that they could be used as a reference for further research into the toxicity level of parabens on duration of exposure in the human body. Determination of the types and levels of parabens was carried out by Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) and UV-Vis Spectrophotometry. The results showed that of the 10 samples of baby care products used, 50% of the samples used parabens as preservatives. 5 samples that tested positive for parabens, the highest propyl paraben content was obtained in the 5th sample of 0.0014% and the lowest in sample 8 with 0.0007%. The highest use of methyl paraben was in the 7th sample of 0.0010% and the lowest in the 2nd sample of 0.0001% and the highest level of total parabens was 0.0023%.

Published: March 2024

La presente investigación aborda el fenómeno de la educación sexual y la incorporación de la perspectiva de género a partir del estudio de las creencias del profesorado de 4º, 5º y 6º grados de primaria. La metodología de este estudio es cualitativa con un enfoque hermenéutico dialéctico y se ubica en el paradigma constructivista. Se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas para conocer la visión del profesorado y obtener descripciones sobre sus creencias y experiencias en el abordaje de la educación sexual y la perspectiva de género. Las entrevistas se aplicaron en cinco escuelas primarias del municipio de Veracruz, México: dos federales, dos estatales y una particular, durante octubre a diciembre de 2019. Participaron 18 mujeres y seis hombres, con edades entre los 23 y 65 años. Se encontró que el personal docente considera que los libros de texto deberían profundizar más en los temas de educación sexual; sin embargo, al no sentirse competentes, prefieren invitar a un especialista en medicina o psicología para que le explique el tema al alumnado. Finalmente, falta capacitarse en educación sexual con perspectiva de género e implementar los tópicos de forma transversal en todos los niveles de educación básica.

La investigación de las emociones se hizo a partir de las perspectivas del construccionismo social, las cuales dan vital importancia al contexto espacial-temporal que interviene en el origen, desarrollo y expresión de éstas. Lo anterior permite enfatizar los elementos socioculturales que dan identidad étnica a los habitantes de esta microrregión. La estrategia metodológica utilizada fue de tipo cualitativa que, a través del trabajo etnográfico y la aplicación de una serie de entrevistas semiestructuradas a varones ñöhño, logró identificar la importancia del sistema de parentesco en los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje del oficio de la albañilería, que funciona como red para la integración de los jóvenes al mundo del trabajo. El artículo también da cuenta de cómo las emociones de los hombres tienen una profunda relación con los mandatos de la masculinidad que deben cumplir y para los cuales son formados. Se destaca el desempeño laboral como eje articulador de las emociones, por lo que el trabajo estructura las pautas para el control y la expresión emocional en los varones indígenas.

Authors: Olvera Muñoz Omar Alejandro
Published: March 2024

La investigación científica sobre la salud emocional de personas bisexuales en México es escasa. El presente estudio busca analizar, desde la perspectiva de género y la intersección de las emociones, la salud emocional y las experiencias de rechazo social de hombres y mujeres bisexuales de México reportadas en la Encuesta Nacional sobre Diversidad Sexual y de Género Web (ENDISEG-WEB 2022). El análisis que se presenta en este documento utiliza exclusivamente la información de salud emocional de hombres y mujeres La principal problemática reportada fue el estrés, y el tipo de rechazo social más experimentado por las personas bisexuales fue la humillación, avergonzarles o recibir groserías. El perfil de salud emocional de las personas bisexuales se enmarca con problemáticas vinculadas, principalmente, al estrés o los sentimientos de angustia, miedo o ansiedad. No obstante, a pesar de que dichas adversidades se encuentran presentes en mujeres y hombres, ambos grupos las presentan en distintas proporciones. Se requiere ampliar este tipo de estudios, que no sólo enfaticen en las problemáticas de salud emocional, sino también en las formas de resistencia que configuran estos colectivos humanos.

Potencial de captação de água de chuvas para as localidades mais secas da Paraíba: alternativa das cisternas calçadão
Authors: Moura Maria do Socorro Barbosa de , Marques Maysa Porto Farias , Almeida Hermes Alves de
Published: March 2024

A baixa quantidade e a irregularidade no regime de chuvas, inviabilizam, na maioria dos locais, a convivência na zona rural no Semiárido nordestino, em virtude da falta de água até, para o consumo humano. Neste contexto, captar água da chuva é a única tecnologia capaz de aumentar a oferta de água. Diante disto, escolheram-se três localidades mais secas da Paraíba (Barra de Santana, Boqueirão e Cabaceiras), as quais foram estabelecidos os regimes pluviais e estimados os respectivos volumes potenciais de captação, sendo essas determinações os objetivos principais. Utilizando-se dados mensais e anuais de precipitação pluvial, do período: janeiro de 1960 a dezembro de 2020, cedidos pela Agência Executiva de Gestão das Águas, AESA, Campina Grande, PB, foram determinadas as medidas de tendência central e de dispersão, os regimes pluviais locais e os volumes de captação, para cinco cenários com os totais anuais, referentes aos anos mais seco e o mais chuvoso e aos níveis de 25, 50 e 75 % de probabilidade, e três áreas de captações (200, 300 e 400 m2), equivalentes as das cisternas calçadão, do programa Uma Terra e Duas Águas (P1+2). Os principais resultados indicaram regimes de chuvas irregulares e assimétricos e, por isto, recomendam-se o uso da mediana e não da média. As três localidades têm elevados potenciais de captação pluvial, o que permite aumentar a oferta de água, com o mesmo regime de chuvas. As tecnologias hídricas sociais (P1MC e P1+2) são alternativas promissoras, para o abastecimento de água e a produção familiar na zona rural da Paraíba, embora para se estimar o volume potencial de captação requer, primeiramente, estabelecer o regime pluvial local, a fim de dimensionar o tamanho da cisterna, em função da área de captação e do volume de água necessário. Independe do tipo de tecnologia, não se estima o potencial de captação da água da chuva, sem estabelecer o regime pluvial local, e nem adotar volumes fixos, de 16 mil litros (P1MC) e de 52 mil litros (P1+2).
Um olhar acerca das estratégias utilizadas por docentes da Educação Infantil para desenvolver o lúdico no processo de ensino e aprendizagem
Authors: Torres Andresso Marques , Felismino Antônia Adriana da Silva Carvalho , Farias Anyerlly Darly Leandro
Published: March 2024

O presente artigo tem como objetivo apresentar, por meio das percepções de docentes da educação infantil, o lúdico como metodologia de ensino e aprendizagem, enquanto recurso que pode possibilitar o desenvolvimento e a aprendizagem da criança, proporcionando um aprendizado interativo e prazeroso. Destaca-se que as atividades lúdicas não são apenas momentos de diversão, mas sim oportunidades valiosas para o desenvolvimento integral das crianças. O lúdico é uma linguagem natural para as crianças, sendo uma forma significativa de interação com o mundo e de construção de conhecimento. A metodologia consistiu na aplicação de um questionário com 6 professoras que atuam na referida etapa da educação básica, tanto da rede pública quanto privada de ensino de Maceió. Observou-se que todas as docentes consideraram a ludicidade como meio propício para a construção de experiências com crianças. Isso porque, o/a professor/a atua como mediador/a nas trajetórias de compreensões acerca do mundo no espaço escolar, ressaltando a promoção que esta propicia na EI, levando a criança a expressar e a formular suas concepções, além de ser um intermédio de experiências com um meio social e cultural alargando o que a criança entende por compreensão de mundo. Além disso, é importante que as estratégias lúdicas sejam integradas ao currículo de forma transversal, ou seja, não apenas como momentos isolados, mas como parte integrante de todas as áreas de conhecimento. Dessa forma, o lúdico não é visto como algo separado do processo de ensino e aprendizagem, mas sim como uma ferramenta pedagógica essencial para a formação das crianças.

Authors: Suksantilerd Supawut , Thawatchai Rotchanart , Rungrojjananon Nattapol
Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND

Vitamin D deficiency is a common problem in exclusively breastfed infants, with supplementation recommended by various international medical organizations. However, in Thailand, no advice for routine vitamin D supplementation is available. Thus, this study investigated the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and its associated factors in exclusively breastfed infants in Bangkok, Thailand.

AIM

To investigated the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and its associated factors in exclusively breastfed infants in Bangkok, Thailand.

METHODS

This descriptive observational cross-sectional study assessed 109 4-month-old infants at Charoenkrung Pracharak Hospital from May 2020 to April 2021. The 25-OH vitamin D level of the infants was measured using an electrochemiluminescence binding assay. Vitamin D deficiency was defined as 25-OH level < 20 ng/mL, with vitamin D insufficiency 20-30 ng/mL. The sun index and maternal vitamin D supplementation data were collected and analyzed using the independent t -test, univariate logistic regression, and multivariate logistic regression to identify the associated factors.

RESULTS

The prevalences of vitamin D deficiency and vitamin D insufficiency were 35.78% and 33.03%, respectively with mean serum 25-OH vitamin D levels in these two groups 14.37 ± 3.36 and 24.44 ± 3.29 ng/mL. Multivariate logistic regression showed that the main factors associated with vitamin D status were maternal vitamin D supplementation and birth weight, with crude odds ratios 0.26 (0.08–0.82) and 0.08 (0.01–0.45), respectively. The sun index showed no correlation with the 25-OH vitamin D level in exclusively breastfed infants (r = −0.002, P = 0.984).

CONCLUSION

Two-thirds of healthy exclusively breastfed infants had hypovitaminosis D. Vitamin D supplementation prevented this condition and was recommended for both lactating women and their babies.

Authors: Metwali‎ Wafaa Ahmed , Elmashad Abdelrahman Mohamed , Hazzaa Sahar Mohey Eldin , Al-Beltagi Mohammed , Hamza‎ Mohamed Basiony
Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND

Neonatal sepsis, a formidable threat to newborns, is a leading cause of neonatal mortality, with late-onset sepsis manifesting after 72 hours post-birth being particularly concerning. Pneumonia, a prevalent sepsis presentation, poses a significant risk, especially during the neonatal phase when lung defenses are compromised. Accurate diagnosis of pneumonia is imperative for timely and effective interventions. Saliva, a minimally invasive diagnostic medium, holds great promise for evaluating infections, especially in infants.

AIM

To investigate the potential of serum C-reactive protein (CRP), salivary CRP (sCRP), and mean platelet volume (MPV) as diagnostic markers for late-onset neonatal pneumonia (LONP).

METHODS

Eighty full-term neonates were systematically examined, considering anthropometric measurements, clinical manifestations, radiology findings, and essential biomarkers, including serum CRP, sCRP, and MPV.

RESULTS

The study reveals noteworthy distinctions in serum CRP levels, MPV, and the serum CRP/MPV ratio between neonates with LONP and healthy controls. MPV exhibited a robust discriminatory ability [area under the curve (AUC) = 0.87] with high sensitivity and specificity at a cutoff value of > 8.8. Correlations between serum CRP, sCRP, and MPV were also identified. Notably, sCRP demonstrated excellent predictive value for serum CRP levels (AUC = 0.89), underscoring its potential as a diagnostic tool.

CONCLUSION

This study underscores the diagnostic promise of salivary and serum biomarkers, specifically MPV and CRP, in identifying and predicting LONP among neonates. These findings advocate for further research to validate their clinical utility in larger neonatal cohorts.

Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND

Infants' nutrition significantly influences their growth, development, and overall well-being. With the increasing demand for organic infant formula driven by the perception of health benefits and growing awareness of natural feeding options, it is crucial to conduct a comparative analysis of the gastrointestinal tolerability between organic and traditional infant formulas.

AIM

To provide a concise and precise analysis of the gastrointestinal tolerability of organic infant formula compared to traditional infant formula. Due to limited direct comparisons, the review synthesizes available literature on each formula type, presenting insights into their potential effects on infants' digestive health.

METHODS

An extensive literature search was conducted, compiling studies on organic and traditional infant formulas, their compositions, and reported effects on gastrointestinal tolerability. We searched academic databases such as PubMed and Google Scholar and specialized ‎nutrition, paediatrics, and infant health journals using relevant keywords till October 1, 2023. ‎

RESULTS

Although specific comparative studies are scarce and formula heterogeneity is a significant limitation, this systematic review provides an in-depth understanding of organic infant formulas' composition and potential benefits. While scientific evidence directly comparing gastrointestinal tolerability is limited, organic formulas strive to use carefully selected organic ingredients to imitate breast milk composition. Potential benefits include improved lipid profiles, higher methionine content, and decreased antibiotic-resistant bacteria levels. Understanding the gastrointestinal tolerability of organic and traditional infant formulas is crucial for parents and healthcare providers to make informed decisions.

CONCLUSION

Despite limitations in direct comparisons, this systematic review provides insights into the composition and potential benefits of organic infant formulas. It emphasizes the need for further research to elucidate their gastrointestinal effects comprehensively.
