Maternal HIV Illness and its Impact on Children’s Well-being and Development in Haiti

Little is known about the impact of parental HIV illness on children’s well-being and development in the island nations of the Caribbean. Study objectives were to examine mothers’ experiences of impact of HIV illness on their children’s well-being and development in Haiti. Baseline interviews were conducted between 2006 and 2007 with 25 HIV-positive mothers as part of a larger study that examined the feasibility of a psychosocial support group intervention for HIV-affected youth and their caregivers in central Haiti. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and coded for topical themes by two investigators. Main themes related to impact of maternal HIV illness on children’s well-being were the lack of mothers’ physical strength to take care of their children, and their difficulties in providing housing and food for their children. Children’s school enrollment, attendance, and performance were also affected by their mother’s illness. Mothers reported that although their children were HIV-negative, children were distressed by HIV-related stigma that they and their mothers experienced. Findings suggest that children living in HIV-affected families in this region face disadvantages in nutritional, educational, and psychological outcomes. These considerations should be taken into account when designing interventions to support children living in HIV-affected families in this setting

Carbohydrate and protein metabolism : influences on cognition and Alzheimer’s disease

Research into understanding the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has been ongoing for over a century, yet there is no cure, and current treatments are only effective temporarily. In the last two decades, the influence of diet and lifestyle on AD risk have been studied, and research into the effect of individual dietary components (such as macronutrients) on AD risk is gaining momentum. A number of cross*sectional and epidemiological research studies indicate that nutritional parameters influence cognitive performance in humans. Furthermore, chronic diseases and conditions such as type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and hypertension, which are all risk factors for dementia, have dietary risk factors which are also proving to be risk factors for cognitive impairment and AD. Evidence from mechanistic studies and animal models suggests that certain dietary nutrients are essential for maintaining brain function and cognition. The consumption of a good balance of macronutrients enhances cognitive performance, whereas too high an intake of certain foods has sometimes been shown to lead to metabolic disruptions and chronic diseases. In this chapter we discuss the metabolism of carbohydrates and proteins in relation to cognition and AD. Other topics include the effects of glucose on cognition and memory, and the requirements for specific amino acids in brain function
