Protein Deciency
According to Rosendaal protein deciency is a disorder of
blood coagulating. The individual with the protein deciency
are at high risk of developing abnormal blood coagulation [1].
The person with moderate protein deciency is at risk of deep
vein thrombosis which occurs in deep veins of extremities [2].
Health Complication Caused by Protein
Deciency
Protein is a macronutrient that is basic for the development,
upkeep and repair of all your body's cells. Body can't make
due without this supplement [3]. Neglecting to devour enough
protein can have various negative symptoms and eventually
prompts demise. The author further stated the following health
complications caused by low intake of protein.
Kwashiorkor
Kwashiorkor is a sort of protein inadequacy that inuences
youngsters. It has various manifestations which incorporate an
extended liver, a swollen midriff, pedal oedema (swollen feet),
skin depigmentation, skin aggravation, diminishing hair and
tooth misfortune. At last, it can repress a youngster's mental and
physical advancement.
Marasmus
Marasmus is a kind of protein inadequacy that can prompt
weakness, muscle squandering, and lessened muscle versus
fat levels, decreased vitality levels and weight reduction.
It additionally diminishes the viability of the invulnerable
framework and makes sufferers more helpless to infections.
Impaired mental health
Long term protein inadequacy can inuence your psychological
well-being in various ways. It can prompt mental hindrance
(especially in youngsters) and furthermore cause tension,
surliness, sorrow and crankiness.
Oedema
Not getting enough protein can prompt oedema (liquid
maintenance). This can cause swelling in various zones of the
body, for example, the feet, hands and stomach. Aside from the
swelling oedema can likewise cause hurting in the appendages,
stained skin, hypertension and solid joints.
Organ failure
Protein is required for the growth and maintenance of various
body function. Deciency of protein can cause the improper
function of different body organs.
Wasting and shrinkage of muscle tissues
When you don't get enough protein in your eating regimen
your body begins to source it from somewhere else. One of the
primary sources your body swings to is the muscles. On the off
chance that your body takes protein from the muscles it makes
them wasting and shrinkage.
Weak immune system
Protein is basic for the creation of antibodies which are a key
piece of the safe framework. On the off chance that you wind up
plainly inadequate in protein your body will be not able produce
these antibodies. This makes you more defenseless to disease as
your body will battle to battle remote items.
Conclusion
Based on available literature the researcher arrived at conclusion
that insufcient of protein may cause various health problems
such as kwashiorkor, marasmus, impaired mental health,
edema, organ failure, wasting and shrinkage of muscle tissues,
and weakness of immune system.

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of Clarias cookies on the growth and development of wasting children. This study was conducted in the Taman Bacaan Palembang Health Center's working area. A quasi-experimental design was used, with a sample of 120 toddlers divided into the control (60) and treatment (60) groups. Toddlers in the treatment group were given Clarias cookies weighing 45 g/day, while those in the control group were given 45 g/day of cookies distributed by the government every day for three months. The body weight was measured monthly. Anthropometric data were collected by nutritionists who had been trained to use anthropometric tools. All collected data were recorded using a questionnaire. There was no significant difference in the samples between the control and intervention groups (P > 0.005). The sample can be categorized into the same group for each variable. This did not introduce bias in the results of the bivariate analysis. After receiving the Clarias cookies, the weight of the children in the treatment group increased significantly (p = 0.000) compared to that in the control group. The kids in the treatment group gained 2.21 pounds more than those in the control group, which gained just 0.28 pounds. To improve the nutrition of malnourished toddlers, it would be better to provide Clarias cookies rather than biscuits from the government.
... Crude fibre levels obtained in the present study were also more important in the stem alone compared with the leaves. Protein deficiency is regarded as one of the major nutritional problems in the developing world 56 . In our study, leaves of E. hispanica showed significantly higher values of proteins (23.33%) which are comparably more important than that of the common vegetable such as amaranth (10.5%), sugar been (7.96%), ...

Selecting highly nutritive fodder plants in arid regions can be a key to improving the livestock productivity. This work explores the variation in nutritive value of the leaves, stem, and shoots of five potential fodder plants of the Emirates of Fujairah, Erucaria hispanica, Haplophyllum tuberculatum, Convolvulus virgatus, Teucrium stocksianum, and Cleome Ibrachycarpa. influenced by two weather conditions, winter and spring. The plant samples underwent mineral composition, proximate, phytochemical, and heavy metals and two-way ANOVA. Weather data were accessed from National Center of Meteorology (NCM). Our findings reveal significant influences of collection time and species on nutritive content. Shoots collected in March exhibited higher ash (6.167%), crude protein (11.9%), crude fiber (14.89%), dry matter (45.86%), and total digestive nutrients (TDS) (48.35%), with lower tannin (5.11%) compared to January. Conversely, January-collected shoots had greater total sugar content (1.28 g/100 g). Plant organs played a crucial role, with leaves surpassing stems in Mg, P, Ca, K, Na, Mn, Zn, and Ni. Leaves also showed higher crude protein (23.33%), dry matter (92.26%), total ash (4.8%), and TDS (87.58%) compared to stems, while stems exhibited elevated crude fiber (17.45%) and tannin (4.53%). There is a need to assess the bioactive compounds found in these fodder species for the enhancement its effective use and maximize browsing of these species.

THE EFFECT OF URBANIZATION ON FOOD SECURITY AND AGRICULTURAL SUSTAINABILITY Because urbanization is an inevitable process accompanying economic growth, this research specifies impacts of urbanization on food security and agricultural sustainability, with a particular focus on Ukraine. Using methodological fundamentals of econometrics and divisive hierarchical clustering, the analysis depicts country features, world patterns, and notable examples of implementing food security and sustainable agricultural development. Data come from the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations, the World Bank Data, and State Statistics Service of Ukraine. Polynomial regressions show gradual sustainable agricultural development in Ukraine driven by domestic urbanization from 1996 to 2018. The analysis identifies country standing among 186 states distributed into four major world clusters of the pruned binary tree and evaluated through urbanization and securing food availability and affordability. The findings from comparative profiles of selected leading countries determine prospects of Ukrainian urban market size, crop farming and animal husbandry, food production per capita, employment in agriculture, and share in GDP, both within and beyond the EU. Matching at a country level reconciles urbanization with providing food security and economic, environmental, and social components of agricultural sustainability.

Food security and dynamics of population have a dual connection. Firstly, a rapid rise in the population size increases a demand for food. Secondly, a lack of food affordability and availability implies negative dynamics of population. The latter issue observed in Ukraine highlighted the goal of this research. The methodological study background was econometrics and cluster comparative analysis. The considered time series covered the period 1999 to 2018. The accessible cross-sectional data included 90 countries. The research outcome in the form of multiple regressions allowed forecasting the objective values of expenditures on food, income per capita, and daily protein intakes which could retain a stable population size. The offered EU and World Top benchmarks involved the GDP indicator, balance between crop and animal food supplies, medium age, and share of rural population by country. These findings made possible to set prospects of amplifying Ukrainian food security and improving population dynamics.
... One of the goals set by the Food Security Committee is the search for new food sources and technologies: scalability and affordability. Depending on the severity, protein deficiency can lead to: retardation in mental and physical development; weakening of memory and intelligence; weakening of the body's defense system (Khan et al., 2017). Developing a culture of consuming protein of plant origin and reducing the share of animal protein can be a partial solution to the global problem (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, 2020b). ...

Proteins are the second most essential macromolecules after nucleic acids. This article aimed at the comparative analysis of extraction methods and nutritional benefits of milk and dairy products. Proteins form the body mass and perform several crucial tasks that include acting as a catalyst and carrying out different metabolic reactions in the body. Furthermore, protein acts as a transporter, transmits nerve impulses, provides mechanical support or immune protection, and controls growth. Several sources of proteins are present, but milk holds an important place due to its biological activities. The considerable health benefits of milk and its products are due to proteins. Yoghurt and cheese have significant importance among milk products. Proteins of milk and its products can be extracted by pH adjustment through homogenisation, centrifugation, and deproteinisation. There are several techniques for identifying and quantifying milk and product proteins. The Kjeldahl and spectrophotometric methods are the most widely used methods for quantifying proteins in milk and its products. Furthermore, these techniques include electrophoresis and chro-matographic methods, including native gel electrophoresis, sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), urea-PAGE, capillary electrophoresis, and isoelectric focusing. A few are chromatographic methods like reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC), size exclusion chromatography, and ion-exchange chromatography. Each technique has its advantages as well as disadvantages. The selection of the process depends upon the type of protein. The extracted proteins from milk and its products have many health or therapeutic effects that exhibit antimicrobial, antiproliferative, antioxidant, antihypertensive, anticancer, antiviral, and immunomodula-tory effects. Yoghurt has prime importance among milk products because of its therapeutic effects and more protein.

The macronutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids are required for energy and the micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals are required for healthy functioning of the body. Malnutrition comes from either an imbalance in the supply of either one. A balanced diet for people benefits from animal-source foods (ASF) such as milk, meat, eggs, and fish, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where food is typically starch-based and monotonous. It is vital to take into account the nutrients that are easily available in meat, poultry, and fish that are not present in non-meat meals, even if a diet free of these items may have certain health advantages. In this sense, diet quality—or a diet’s capacity to deliver the full complement of high-quality protein, calories, minerals, trace metals, and vitamins needed to satisfy requirements—is just as important as the diet quantity itself. In addition to providing high-quality, easily digestible protein and energy, foods derived from animals are also a convenient and effective source of micronutrients. Thus, this review discusses some of the intervention strategies for the use of animal-source food for preventing nutritional deficiency.

High-altitude regions, characterized by unique climatic conditions and diverse ecosystems are home to an array of crops vital to the economic prosperity of local communities. The cultivation of high-altitude crops plays a significant role in ensuring food security, conserving biodiversity, and boosting the tourism sector. While traditional breeding methods have historically improved crop yield and resilience, recent years have witnessed a surge of interest in adopting multi-omics approaches, particularly genomics. High-throughput sequencing technologies have unveiled critical genes and pathways associated with key traits including stress resistance and tolerance, guiding innovative breeding strategies. Genomics has ushered in a new era for high-altitude crop cultivation, facilitating the development of crops adapted to extreme conditions, resistant to pests and diseases, and enriched with essential nutrients. In this chapter, we delve into the wealth of genomics resources available for high-altitude crops. We also discuss the current status and future prospects of various genomics techniques, including QTL mapping, genome-wide association mapping, marker-assisted selection, genomic selection, and genome editing, aiming to enhance crop yield, bolster climate resilience and stress tolerance, and elevate the nutritional value of high-altitude crops. This chapter offers a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in high-altitude crop enhancement, the challenges associated with genomics, and sheds light on the future of agriculture in challenging landscapes.

The risk factors for venous thrombosis differ from those for arterial vascular disease. During the past 5 years, knowledge about the aetiology of venous thrombosis has advanced with the discovery of several factors that contribute to the incidence of thrombosis, particularly the role of coagulation abnormalities. These abnormalities are common in the general population and therefore will be present simultaneously in some individuals. The resultant gene-gene and gene-environment interactions between risk factors are the key to the understanding of why a certain person develops thrombosis at a specific point in time.
