Authors: Syahrul Syahrul , Rijal Rijal , Hardianto Yudi , Rabia Rabia
Published: December 2024

Introduction

Plyometric exercise is the preferred type of exercise to promote bone health due to its role on providing high-impact loading of bone tissue. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of plyometric training on bone mineralisation and physical fitness between male and female adolescents.

Methods

This study was a parallel 2-arm trial with 1:1 randomisation to the plyometric or control group. This study was conducted at SMA Negeri 21 Makassar, Indonesia, which included 18 second year of high school students actively engaging in physical activity at least once a week. The plyometric training consisted of a warming-up period, plyometric session, and cooling-down period performed by participants in the plyometric group, three days/week for six months. The control group was informed to stay active during the study period. Bone mineralisation and physical fitness were assessed at baseline and after the 6-month intervention.

Results

A significantly higher improvement of VO2 max was presented in the female plyometric group, compared to the control group (% improvement: 81.6 and 13.4 respectively; p < 0.001) over time. The plyometric group also experienced a significant increase (+4.9 cm) in body height over time, while the control group only demonstrated a slight increase (+1.4 cm). Significant increases in total dual femur BMD and trochanter BMC were observed in the male plyometric group.

Conclusions

The increases in BMD and BMC were only observed in male adolescents following plyometric training. Meanwhile, improvement in VO2 max was more pronounced in female adolescents engaging with plyometric training.
Visceral pain and sensitisation in women with dysmenorrhea: a narrative review
Authors: Naia Zeltia , Patiño-Núñez Sergio , Bello Olalla
Published: December 2024

Visceral pain (VP), from internal organs, is one of the main reasons for health consultations and represents a source of chronic pain. It can provoke referred musculoskeletal pain, viscero-somatic pain, hyperalgesia, and allodynia. The objective of this narrative review is to analyse the underlying mechanisms of somatic reflexed VP and viscero-visceral sensitisation processes that can occur in women with dysmenorrhea. The affectation of one viscera can lead to a sensitisation in those where metameric innervation is shared. In women with dysmenorrhea and painful menstrual periods, some studies find a concomitance increase in gastrointestinal pathologies. VP is a source of chronic pain, that favours the perception of referred pain in tissues where metameric innervation is shared. Women with dysmenorrhea have more possibilities to develop gastrointestinal pathologies like irritable bowel syndrome.

Published: December 2024

Objective

The digital age has made children more dependent on digital sources for study and entertainment, which leads to increased physical inactivity that contributes to reduced work breathing and attention. Yoga Sana can be a promising form of physical activity that improves a child’s lung function and attention span if, started at a young age. To find out the effect of yoga exercises on lung volumes, vital capacity, and attention span in school-going children.

Methods

A total of 56 children between the ages of 10–15 years were included using the chit method. The children were randomly divided into 2 groups: group A (yoga group, n = 27) and group B (control group, n = 27). The students of both groups were assessed for chest expansion, lung volumes, and attention span. Group A (yoga group) was trained to perform yoga exercises 3 days a week for 4 weeks. Group B (control group) children were asked to perform daily activities. At the end of the 4 weeks, post-assessment of both the groups was assessed, documented, and statistically analysed using Wilcoxon signed rank and Mann–Whitney U-tests.

Results

Respiratory parameters (FEV1, FVC/FEV1, and PEFR), chest expansion, and the attention span of group A were statistically significant compared to group B with a p-value < 0.05.

Conclusions

Yoga exercises led to improvement in lung volumes, vital capacity, and attention in school-going students.
Comparisons between chest trunk mobilization with sustained maximum inspiration and flow incentive spirometry on chest expansion, respiratory muscle strength, and functional exercise capacity in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery
Authors: Wattanananont Khanistha , Buranapuntalug Sasipa , Laohathai Sira
Published: December 2024

Introduction

Chest trunk mobilization with sustained maximum inspiration (SMI) and flow incentive spirometry (flow IS) are breathing techniques that mostly apply to patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of chest trunk mobilization with SMI and flow IS on chest expansion, respiratory muscle strength, and functional exercise capacity in patients undergoing VATS.

Methods

Sixty VATS patients were randomly allocated into chest trunk mobilization with SMI (n = 30) and flow IS (n = 30) groups. Each group performed a physical therapy program preoperatively and 4 days post-operatively. Chest expansion at upper, middle, and lower levels, inspiratory and expiratory muscle strengths, and functional exercise capacity were determined at pre- and post-VATS.

Results

In both groups, chest expansion at all levels, expiratory muscle strength, and distance of the 6MWT significantly increased (p < 0.05) post-operatively compared to pre-operative assessments, although there was no significant difference between groups. In addition, inspiratory muscle strength significantly improved from baseline in both groups (p < 0.05), but the flow IS group showed a greater increase than the chest trunk mobilization with the SMI group (78.17 ± 24.16 and 65.57 ± 20.39 cmH2O, respectively, p < 0.05).

Conclusions

Chest trunk mobilization with SMI and flow IS can improve chest expansion at all levels, as well as respiratory muscle strength and the distance of the 6MWT. However, flow IS enhances inspiratory muscle strength to a greater extent than chest trunk mobilization with SMI. Ultimately, both techniques can be applied effectively in patients undergoing VATS.

Authors: Salem Mahmoud Salah , Ashem Haidy Nady , Abdelghani Salah Mohamed , Kamel Noha Mohamed
Published: December 2024

Introduction

Skin grafting is an essential reconstructive technique for the healing of deep and extensive burns. Donor site problems are common complications after skin graft surgery. Speeding up the healing process at the donor site using low-level laser therapy helps avoid these problems. Objectives: The purpose of this research was to examine the efficacy of low-level laser therapy in promoting donor site healing in burn patients who underwent skin graft surgery.

Methods

Forty patients of both genders (16 male, 24 female) aged 20–40 years suffered full-thickness burns with a total body surface area varying from 20 to 35% and had undergone split-thickness skin graft surgery were selected randomly and divided into two equal groups. The low-level laser therapy group (study group) attended three sessions per week for three weeks, while the placebo group (control group) received sham laser treatments. All patients received conventional medical treatment and traditional wound care (dressing). Photography and J Image software were used to measure wound surface area before the treatment (day 1 post-operative), day 11 post-operative, and day 21 post-operative in both groups.

Results

The study and control groups demonstrated a substantial reduction in wound surface area at day 11 and day 21 post-operative compared with day 1 (p < 0.001), with the percentage of improvement of 88.69% and 98.73% and 50.18% and 80.22%, respectively. On day 21 compared to day 11 (p < 0.001), the percentage of improvement was 88.81% and 60.30%, respectively. Between-group comparisons revealed a significant decrease in wound surface area at day 11 and day 21 post-operative in the study group compared to the control group (p < 0.001).

Conclusions

Low-level laser therapy is an effective modality for enhancing wound healing of the donor site in burned patients undergoing skin graft surgery.

Authors: Ijaz Nimra , Riaz Saima , Raza Tahreem , Ali Sidra
Published: December 2024

Introduction

The use of smartphone technology and software (apps), in addition to an inclinometer and goniometer, has expanded the clinician’s assessment possibilities. However, the legitimacy and trustworthiness of these cell phones and applications are still questioned. This study aimed to determine the reliability and concurrent validity of the iHandy level mobile application to measure the thoracolumbar range of motion in people with low back pain.

Methods

This descriptive study included 40 participants, of which 20 were symptomatic, and 20 were asymptomatic for non-specific chronic pain in the lower back. Measurements were taken for extension, flexion, and left and right-side bending range of motion (ROM). Two investigators were involved. One measured ROM values with a Samsung iHandy level and inclinometer, and the second investigator registered the data. Two values were taken and the mean was used for further analysis. Measurements were taken at baseline and one-week follow-up.

Results

In asymptomatic participants, the mobile application had ICC values of 0.81, 0.70, 0.79, and 0.85, while in symptomatic, regarding intra-rater reliability, these were 0.80, 0.78, 0.81Regarding the concurrent validity of mobile apps in asymptomatic patients, ICC values were 0.94, 0.93, 0.84, and 0.89, while in symptomatic patients, the ICC values were found to be 0.92, 0.89, 0.83, and 0.85 for flexion, extension, RLF, and LLF, respectively. These showed an excellent correlation between the inclinometer and mobile app regarding intra-rater reliability and concurrent validity.

Conclusions

iHandy level smartphone applications might be considered reliable and valid for assessing thoracolumbar motion ranges in individuals with chronic pain in the lower back.

Authors: Botla Afaf M. , Ebrahim Reham S. , Elkosery Soheir M. , Darwesh Ahmed M. , Mohamed Dina M.A.
Published: December 2024

Introduction

Pre-hypertensive women are significantly more likely to develop hypertension or serious cardiovascular disease (CV). Autonomic nervous system abnormalities, such as sympathetic overactivity and parasympathetic withdrawal, are most likely the earliest functional changes in hypertension. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of breathing exercises with biofeedback on blood pressure (BP), heart rate variability (HRV), respiratory rate (RR), and skin galvanic response (SGR).

Methods

Thirty middle-aged women with pre-hypertension (120/80–139/89 mm Hg) were recruited from Ain Shams University. They were divided randomly into two equal groups, with ages ranging from 30 to 40: study group (group A) who performed slow abdominal breathing (six cycles/minute) combined with frontal electromyography (EMG) biofeedback training (3 days per week for 10 sessions) and a control group (group B) who performed slow abdominal breathing (six cycles/minute, 3 days per week for 10 sessions). All subjects were assessed by measuring systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), HRV, RR, and SGR levels before and after the intervention.

Results

SBP, DBP, RR, and SGR mean values showed a statistically significant decline; however, Group A’s HRV post-treatment increased significantly compared to pre-treatment (p = 0.001). In Group B, there was no significant difference in DBP or SGR; however, there was a substantial drop in SBP and HRV (p = 0.001) and a significant rise in RR (p = 0.001). Following therapy, there was a significant difference between the two groups in terms of DBP, HRV, RR, and SGR (p = 0.001), favouring group A.

Conclusions

As a result, it is possible to infer that breathing exercises combined with biofeedback were beneficial in lowering BP in middle-aged pre-hypertensive women.

A Health Monitoring and Water Consumption Tracking System based on Smart Cup using Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things
Authors: Yu Haowen , Mirzaee Soroush
Published: December 2024

Dehydration poses a significant global health risk, impacting a diverse population across various age groups [1]. Despite numerous efforts to promote hydration, traditional methods often rely on manual logging in mobile applications, a process prone to user neglect and inaccuracy. SmartFlask, an innovative hydration-monitoring device, seeks to address these limitations by offering a fully automated solution that seamlessly integrates into users' daily routines [2]. Equipped with a time-of-flight (ToF) sensor, SmartFlask tracks water consumption without requiring user input, while an AI algorithm recommends personalized daily water intake based on individual factors such as height and weight [3]. By eliminating the need for manual tracking and providing tailored hydration goals, SmartFlask offers a comprehensive approach to improving hydration habits. This paper details the development, functionality, and potential health benefits of SmartFlask, demonstrating its promise as an effective tool for addressing dehydration on a global scale.

Exploring Soft Skills Indicators in Multiple Mini Interviews (MMI) Scenario Responses
Authors: Huynh Ryan , Gillam Lee , Callwood Alison
Published: December 2024

Multiple mini-interviews (MMIs) are a widely used and validated interview method for eliciting soft skills. By using multiple, separate, and timed interviews in which each has a distinct scenario, MMIs purportedly reduce possibilities such as a biased individual dictating results, although potentially inconsistent scoring by interviewers may still impact on fairness. However, MMIs overall can be seen as challenging to run due to the number of interviewers and assessments required. In this paper, we discuss the progress in automatically, and consistently, extracting soft skills from transcriptions of MMI responses to support such assessment. While previous research has focused on extracting soft skills from job postings and written responses, to the best of our knowledge there is no other published research on soft skill extraction from MMI responses. We begin by annotating collected MMI responses to assure presence of soft skills, then evaluate the effectiveness of combining word embeddings with classifiers to identify soft skill indicators. The most promising result, F1-Score = 0.79, compares favourably to previous literature on extracting soft skills from other datasets and is encouraging of further exploration.
Deep Learning Approach for Predicting the Replicator Equation in Evolutionary Game Theory
Authors: Chandorkar Advait
Published: December 2024

This paper presents a physics-informed deep learning approach for predicting the replicator equation, allowing accurate forecasting of population dynamics. This methodological innovation allows us to derive governing differential or difference equations for systems that lack explicit mathematical models. We used the SINDy model first introduced by Fasel, Kaiser, Kutz, Brunton, and Brunt 2016a to get the replicator equation, which will significantly advance our understanding of evolutionary biology, economic systems, and social dynamics. By refining predictive models across multiple disciplines, including ecology, social structures, and moral behaviours, our work offers new insights into the complex interplay of variables shaping evolutionary outcomes in dynamic systems.
Effects of Training and Development and Compensation on Employee Engagement among Flight Attendants in a Commercial Airline in the Philippines
Authors: Abrias Mr. Mark Ian C.
Published: December 2024

It has been established that training and development as well as compensation could greatly influence job satisfaction. However, only a few studies have explored its influence on employee engagement most especially in growing airline industries. The goal of this study is to uncover the level and interplay between training and development, compensation, and employee engagement through correlational design. A valid and reliable researcher-made instrument was utilized, covering the entire population in a Commercial Airline. This approach allows for the generalizability of the findings to the broader context of the organization. Weighted mean, standard deviation, and regression analysis were used to interpret the results. The significant findings are respondents have high positive perception towards training and development mainly, followed by employee engagement then compensation. The strengths of the company involve having trainings relevant to the respondents’ jobs as it is also highly rated that they seek for learning, growth, and development in their current role. The areas for enrichment includes training sessions that are convenient in terms of time, and location, having competitive salaries, feeling proud to be part of the organization, and the need to offer flexible working arrangements. Both training and development and compensation can predict employee engagement but training and development have a large significant impact leading to the recommendation that it has to be prioritized. Other recommendations include targeting identified areas for enrichment, and addressing the limitations of the study such as being cross-sectional, based on single data, and confiding in just one industry hence, confirmatory studies should be implemented before adhering to recommendations.

Authors: Sun LiLi , Balinas Dr. Elvira
Published: December 2024

This paper explores the integration of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) into hybrid teaching methods in higher vocational English education. With the advancement of educational concepts and technologies, the importance of English language instruction in vocational settings has also grown, necessitating innovative teaching approaches. This study identifies several challenges teachers face, including resistance to adopting traditional methods, insufficient mastery of hybrid teaching strategies, and underutilization of online resources. The OBE framework supports a student-centered, achievement-oriented learning environment that aligns educational outcomes with both curricular goals and students’ needs. Through the implementation of course design activities, fostering of active student engagement, and emphasis on continuous improvement, this paper explored hybrid English instruction and students’ academic and personal development. The findings highlight the need for educators to engage in reflective practices and embrace iterative improvements, ensuring that hybrid teaching models effectively prepare students for future professional challenges. The paper concludes that the successful adoption of hybrid teaching in higher vocational education depends on educators’ willingness to innovate and adapt, ultimately contributing to the sustainable development of English language instruction in the modern educational landscape.

A new theory proposed the existence of a new kind of unseen staff named “Zaman”, responsible for the flow of time by its spin. Zaman solves the Dark Matter enigma. Moreover, for an isolated Zaman spherical halo U with differential rotation, if the relation between the radius of each shell R and the length T of its day is Keplerian; that is T2/R3 is constant, then, we proved the known linear Hubble relation is satisfied. In this work, we shall see how some distances can be elongated. We shall prove the Keplerian trajectories are discontinuous. More precisely, after each period, any test particle inside U will receive an instantaneous kick-off to be shifted from its initial orbital phase.

Three-dimensional liver organoids as a novel platform for studying hepatitis B virus infection
Authors: Kim Geon-Woo
Published: December 2024

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a major global health problem that contributes to chronic liver diseases, such as cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Despite advances in antiviral therapy and the availability of preventive vaccines, current treatments often do not completely eradicate the virus, particularly in chronic HBV carriers, and the incidence of liver cancer due to chronic HBV infection remains high. A major obstacle to HBV research is the lack of infection models that can accurately recapitulate the complex interactions between HBV and the host. Existing models, such as hepatoma cell lines and animal models, are limited by species-specific barriers and the lack of support for the complete viral life cycle. These limitations pose significant challenges to the study of HBV pathogenesis and the development of therapies aimed at complete eradication of HBV. In recent years, 3-dimensional (3D) liver organoids have emerged as promising in vitro model systems to study HBV infection and HBV-mediated liver disease. These organoids serve as a suitable physiologically relevant platform for investigating HBV pathogenesis, including the ability of HBV to promote liver tumorigenesis. Furthermore, liver organoids can be genetically modified, patient-derived, expanded, and biobanked, providing a powerful tool for studying HBV pathogenesis and personalized medicine, drug discovery, and screening. In this review, we explore the utilization of 3D liver organoids as a research model for studying HBV infection and HBV-associated liver cancer, highlighting their advantages over conventional models.
Parceria público-privada na educação: reflexões sobre seus impactos
Authors: Tavares Celma
Published: December 2024

As parcerias público-privadas na educação representam o deslocamento da execução das políticas educacionais do Estado para o setor privado e permitem que este defina o público. Refletir sobre os impactos dessas parcerias, compreendendo-as enquanto projetos societários inter-relacionados e que estão em disputa, é fundamental. Para isso utilizou-se, com base na abordagem qualitativa, a revisão de literatura e a análise documental. O recorte teórico articulou a discussão sobre as parcerias público-privadas na educação com o neoliberalismo, o neoconservadorismo e o processo de desdemocratização. Neste sentido, defende-se a ideia de que essas parcerias constituem ferramentas para fortalecer esses três âmbitos ao capturar o público estatal. O que ficou indicado por seu avanço na definição das políticas educacionais, e pelo papel que cumprem essas parcerias ao limitar os princípios da educação pública, esvaziando o processo de democratização da educação.

Este trabalho apresenta e discute os resultados de uma ação de extensão universitária desenvolvida com estudantes do Ensino Fundamental em uma escola pública, a EMEF José Paim de Oliveira, localizada em uma área rural do município de Santa Maria (RS). O objetivo principal da ação foi o de problematizar, de forma conceitual e lúdica, as relações que os estudantes estabelecem com os alimentos, para, assim, mapear a origem dos alimentos que eles consomem, também os ensinando a identificar as plantas e reconhecer as importâncias de se produzir e de se consumir produtos in natura, com destaque para as Plantas Alimentícias Não Convencionais (PANCs) e para as plantas medicinais. Apresenta-se aqui, portanto, uma síntese das atividades desenvolvidas, bem como das discussões e dos resultados obtidos, com destaque para a produção de duas cartilhas: uma sobre PANCs e outra sobre plantas medicinais. As atividades desenvolvidas no projeto permitem a reflexão sobre a relação entre alimentação e educação, ou melhor, sobre a necessidade de uma educação alimentar, pois, em última instância, os resultados observados na ação de extensão sublinham a necessidade de desautomatizar a relação que se estabelece com os alimentos, propondo-se reflexões sobre os hábitos alimentares e sobre as origens do que se consome: em suma, a soberania alimentar.

Authors: Assis Lucas Lenin Resende de , Barbosa Mariana Leticia Silva , Abreu Regis Vinicius Alves de , Oliveira Marielle Blancato , Santos Yasmin Dias dos
Published: December 2024

Segundo o Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE) (2023), a taxa de pobreza no Brasil atinge cerca de 31,6% da população brasileira. Mesmo em frente a isso, ainda há um cenário de desperdício de toneladas de frutas avarias, bem como a dificuldade encontrada pela indústria de laticínios em dar um destino adequado ao soro do leite proveniente da produção dos seus queijos. Nesse contexto, o presente trabalho tem a finalidade de relatar a produção de uma nova bebida láctea nutritiva e de baixo custo a partir de frutas avariadas e do soro do leite, assim evitando o descarte incorreto desses subprodutos e mensurando os custos produtivos para atenuar a fome do país. Durante a experiência, a bebida foi sintetizada em um valor real da unidade de volume convencional de vendas, sendo 170 mL da bebida por R$1,05, mensurado para o ano de 2023. Assim, a produção dessa bebida láctea nutritiva de baixo custo se mostrou técnica e economicamente viável e sustentável, podendo ser uma solução inovadora para a redução do desperdício alimentar e para a melhoria da segurança nutricional do Brasil.
alimentação do trabalhador como problema de Estado
Authors: Martins André Luiz de Miranda
Published: December 2024

O presente estudo se valeu de uma pesquisa bibliográfica e tem por objetivo tematizar a atuação do médico, geógrafo e parlamentar Josué de Castro nas instituições de intervenção no “problema alimentar” do trabalhador brasileiro, tal como se colocava nos anos 1940, particularmente em duas delas: o Serviço de Alimentação da Previdência Social (SAPS) e o Serviço Técnico de Alimentação Nacional (STAN). Este artigo situa tanto a atuação de Castro nestes órgãos quanto a própria criação das referidas instituições no contexto das transformações políticas que advieram com o Estado Novo (1937-1945), refletindo também sobre a circulação dos intelectuais neste particular momento político, bem como suas contribuições para o regime autoritário e para as políticas de alimentação que então se desenhavam e implementavam no país.

Os incêndios florestais tem se configurado como um dos
problemas ambientais que maistem crescido no Brasil nos últimos,
e que tem desencadeado uma série de prejuízos tanto ambientais,
como sociais, econômicos e até mesmo humanos. O estado do
Piauí, segundo dados do INPE (2022), registrou um crescimento
significativo de focos de incêndios nos últimos cinco anos, tendo
destaque para o município de Uruçuí que lidera o ranking dos que
mais queimam anualmente. Deste modo, a pesquisa objetivou
analisar o arranjo espacial dos focos de incêndio em Uruçuí-PI, no
período de 1999 a 2021, buscando verificar as causas desse fenômeno e estabelecer relações espaciais, através da utilização
de ferramentas de geoprocessamento e sensoriamento remoto.
Com a espacialização e a sobreposição dos dados, foi possível
realizar um zoneamento de risco do município e identificar que os
locais de maior ocorrência de fogo corresponderam a locais de
cultivo de soja, relacionando diretamente a incidência de fogo em
Uruçuí com o forte desenvolvimento da atividade agrícola local

The study explores the theme of inclusive education, addressing the practices and challenges that schoolsface in creating welcoming environments for all students, regardless of their conditions. Inclusiveeducation proposes that institutions adapt their spaces and practices to accommodate students withdifferent abilities and learning styles, valuing diversity as a collective resource. However, thisimplementation faces considerable challenges, such as the need for specialized training for educatorsand the lack of adequate infrastructure and resources. Teacher training stands out as a critical point, asmany professionals still do not have the necessary preparation to adapt their practices to a context ofdiversity. The lack of assistive technologies and adapted spaces also limits the full satisfaction of theneeds of students with disabilities. The article highlights the importance of government support and themobilization of the school community to transform inclusion into concrete practice and not just a distantidea. Despite the difficulties, inclusive practices, such as active methodologies and family involvement,show positive results, contributing to a school culture of respect and cooperation. The study's conclusionhighlights that, although challenging, inclusive education is essential to educate more aware andempathetic citizens, promoting a fair and egalitarian society. The methodology was based onbibliographic research on platforms such as SciELO and Google Scholar, revealing the urgent need forinstitutions to reinvent themselves to meet the needs of student diversity.

Hematological profile in malnourished children and adolescents
Authors: Caisa Chalan Jessenia Lizbeth , Chasillacta Amores Fabiola Beatriz
Published: December 2024

Introduction: The hematological profile is a key diagnostic tool to assess the effects of malnutrition, revealing common abnormalities such as anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and hypoalbuminemia. These abnormalities indicate nutritional deficiencies and related health problems such as iron deficiency anemia due to lack of iron, immune system weakness, and electrolyte imbalances. Adequate treatment based on correcting these deficiencies and continuous monitoring is essential to improve this vulnerable population's health status and prognosis. Objective: To determine the hematological profile in children between 5 and 9 years of age and adolescents from 10 to 19 years of age with malnutrition. Methods: Quantitative approach, non-experimental design, cross-sectional and descriptive in scope, with a population of 42 participants between children and adolescents from an Ecuadorian foundation dedicated to the care. The information was collected by taking anthropometric measurements and blood samples for the hematological profile study. Results: Hematological alterations are not limited to malnutrition states. They also occur in apparently healthy individuals. The high prevalence of alterations in the white blood cell series, particularly in lymphocytes and neutrophils, could indicate the presence of inflammatory processes or altered immunological responses in these age groups. These findings underscore the importance of a comprehensive hematological evaluation in children and adolescents, regardless of their nutritional status. Conclusions: The hematological profile in children and adolescents in this study is not related to malnutrition since there are hematological alterations in the population studied who are apparently healthy.
