The nutritional status of food plants used for rearing of eri silkworm (Samia ricini) has a crucial impact on the development and economic parameters of the larvae. In this study, we investigated the nutritional composition of three different food plants – Castor (Ricinus communis), Tapioca (Manihot esculenta), and Papaya (Carica papaya) and their influence on the nutritional content of eri silkworm larvae through proximate analysis. Our results showed significant variations in the moisture, crude fibre, ash content, total fat, carbohydrate, and crude protein contents of the three food plants. A marked difference in the nutritional content of silkworm larvae reared on selected food plants have also been observed in present investigation. These findings provide scientific evidence of a significant relationship between the quality of food plants used for rearing and the nutritional indices of eri silkworm larvae. The results from current investigation might provide a reference for future works in different species and could give information regarding selection of appropriate food plant for the commercial production of eri silk, or formulation of artificial diet with proper nutritional composition towards the future improvements of silk industry.

The study assessed the School Feeding Program of public elementary school pupils in Geotina Elementary School, Rizal II District, Division of Dinagat Islands. It was done to determine its effects of feeding program to the academic performance of the pupils. It also elicited the living situations of their family through knowing every family’s financial stability. The study adopted the survey research design and obtained its data from primary sources. The researcher adhered to ethical standards such as informed consent, anonymity, and confidentiality. Data collected was cleaned and then analyzed quantitatively by obtaining descriptive and inferential data using tables. The findings were then displayed in tables and figures. It implied the positive effect of the School Feeding Program on academic achievement and nutritional status. Moreover, the program affects children’s attention measures. Another positive effect of the said program is detected in academic achievement scores and this effect is more viable to academic performance. The study also recommended that the Governments together with the National Government should offer financial support to various schools in the country to facilitate the implementation of the school feeding program in various schools. The government should sensitize the community on the nutritional and educational benefits their children will likely enjoy when they enrol their children in schools and ensure that they attend classes regularly. That the Ministry of Education together with the County board of education should organize training seminars for school management boards on how to effectively implement school feeding programs to maximize its benefits. In the end, the researchers come up with the idea to recommend that working on School Feeding Program needs to focus to enhance program effectiveness. And to support the DepEd tagline “No Children Left Behind”. Despite the major challenges from their respective family financially.

The right to basic education is recognized for every child in the world, without discrimination of any kind (Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1789). Benin follows the same straight line. According to article 13 of Title II of the Beninese constitution of December 11, 1990, “the State provides for the education of young people through public schools. Primary education is compulsory. The State shall progressively ensure free public education.” (Constitution of the Republic of Benin, December 11, 1990, p4). Feeding children in schools has a dual purpose. It aims to combat child malnutrition. The aim of our study is to examine the nutritional profile of schoolchildren at EPP Gbèdjougo/A in the commune of Torri Bossito. The equipment used to carry out this study consisted of scales, a metre for measuring anthropometric parameters and a survey form. The method used for this study consisted in sampling, then taking anthropometric values and finally processing the information. The results obtained show that the weight of the majority of children is between [20; 25] and their height is between [110; 120]. There are as many girls as boys in the sample studied, and the majority of children are aged between [5; 10]. Determination of the body mass index shows that most of the pupils are malnourished.

Significance of Full Body Health Checkups in Minimally Invasive Surgery:

1. Preoperative Evaluation and Screening: Holistic health assessments become crucial in preoperative screening, serving as a comprehensive diagnostic guide for surgeons navigating a patient's health intricacies. Beyond scrutinizing the targeted surgical area, these evaluations encompass diverse analyses, including blood tests, imaging studies, cardiovascular assessments, metabolic profiling, and specialized tests revealing nuanced aspects of the patient's physiological well-being.

2. Cardiovascular Well-being: An exploration of cardiovascular health unveils its pivotal role in the success of minimally invasive surgeries. Beyond macroscopic considerations like hypertension, coronary artery disease, or arrhythmias, this section extends its focus to the microscopic intricacies of vascular dynamics. Understanding blood flow, endothelial function, and vascular elasticity becomes paramount, collectively influencing MIS efficiency. Identifying and managing cardiovascular challenges preoperatively are integral, ensuring a foundation of cardiovascular well-being resilient to the demands of surgery.

3. Metabolic Factors and Surgical Outcomes: Metabolic considerations prove critical to the success of minimally invasive surgeries, requiring a nuanced exploration. Beyond broad categories like diabetes and obesity, this section delves into the intricate interplay of hormonal regulation, enzymatic activity, and cellular metabolism. Proactive identification of metabolic challenges empowers healthcare providers to implement precise preoperative interventions, optimizing the patient's metabolic status and instilling confidence in surgeons to navigate potential hurdles.

4. Immune System Resilience: A resilient immune system emerges as pivotal for postoperative recovery, prompting an in-depth exploration of its multifaceted facets. Beyond conventional immunodeficiencies or inflammatory conditions, this section highlights the intricate dance of immune cells, cytokines, and the delicate balance between immunosuppression and activation. A compromised immune system poses a direct threat to recovery, making preemptive measures based on preoperative health checkups crucial in fortifying the patient's immune system against postoperative complications.

4. Nutritional Landscape: Beyond cardiovascular, metabolic, and immune assessments, full-body health checkups illuminate the nutritional landscape as a key determinant of surgical success. Beyond essential nutrient assessment, this section explores the intricate web of micronutrients, antioxidants, and their role in cellular repair and regeneration. Meticulous evaluation of nutritional status equips healthcare providers with knowledge for implementing preoperative dietary interventions, ensuring patients enter surgery in an optimal nutritional state.

5. Psychological Dimension: The psychological well-being of a patient emerges as a multifaceted dimension impacting the success of minimally invasive surgeries. Beyond anxiety, depression, and stress, this section explores the psychoneuroimmunological axis, unraveling connections between the mind, nervous system, and immune responses. Full-body health checkups extend their scope to include psychological assessments, enabling healthcare professionals to identify and address mental health concerns preoperatively. Integrating psychological support into the surgical journey fosters a positive mindset, positively influencing the overall surgical experience and recovery trajectory.

There are many good hospitals in New Delhi that offer different types of health checkup packages for patients undergoing a minimally invasive surgery, such as a full body health checkup at Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals is considered to be among the finest in the country.

Health and nutritional status are two crucial and interlinked aspects of human development, which in to interact with demographic variables Malnutrition a condition that occurs due to intake of inadequate amount of nutrients leading to insufficient nourishment continues to be a problem of considerable magnitude in most of the developing countries in the world. Preschool children are one of the most nutritionally vulnerable segments of the population. Nutrition during the first 5 years has not only an impact on growth and morbidity during childhood, but also acts as a determinant of nutritional status in adolescent and adult life. Global comparative data indicate that contrary to common perception, prevalence of under nutrition is highest in South Asian children. India has the highest occurrence of childhood malnutrition in the world. Malnutrition is responsible for 55 percent of all deaths of children younger than 5 years of age globally. Malnutrition makes a child susceptible to infections and delayed recovery, thus increasing mortality and morbidity. It is therefore logical to direct attention to the quality of life of the survivors Bose and Das, 2010 .
