Sepsis is a life-threatening condition characterized by multiorgan dysfunction due to an exaggerated host response to infection associated with a homeostatic failure. In sepsis, different interventions, aimed at improving clinical outcomes, have been tested over the past decades. Among these most recent strategies, intravenous high-dose micronutrients (vitamins and/or trace elements) have been investigated. According to current knowledge, sepsis is characterized by low thiamine levels, which are associated with illness severity, hyperlactatemia, and poor clinical outcomes...

OBJECTIVES: Glia (i.e., astrocyte and microglia) activation in the central nervous system plays a critical role in developing neuropathic pain. Microglia can be activated into proinflammatory (M1) and anti-inflammatory (M2) phenotypes. Switching microglial polarization from M1 to M2 phenotypes represents a novel therapeutic strategy for neuropathic pain. Curcumin has been widely used for its anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects. This study investigated effects of curcumin on astrocyte activation and microglia polarization in the cuneate nucleus (CN) and development of neuropathic pain behavior after chronic constriction injury (CCI) of the median nerve...

A 76-y-old Japanese man who had undergone gastrectomy 4.5 y earlier experienced 2 wk of sore throat, heartburn, and difficulty swallowing. Endoscopy showed deep, craterlike, longitudinal ulcers in the lower and middle esophagus. Immunohistochemistry and blood tests were negative for herpes simplex virus and cytomegalovirus infections. The patient reported no other symptoms affecting the gastrointestinal tract. Although his symptoms ameliorated after initial hospitalization and treatment, they re-emerged a few days after being discharged...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the involvement of Brazilian adolescents in home cooking, estimating its associations with sex and socioeconomic status. METHODS: This cross-sectional study involved a probabilistic sample of 14- to 19-y-olds enrolled in 29 public schools in the municipality of Juiz de Fora, MG, Southeast Brazil (n = 835). To assess involvement in home cooking, a 12-question questionnaire was used. The content was based on the Brazilian Food Guide, which encourages the acquisition, development, and sharing of culinary skills...

Malnutrition can play an important prognostic role in terms of survival in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In this clinical context, applying criteria defining malnutrition requires particular attention, especially in the initial stage of the disease. This article discusses the application of the most recent criteria used for the definition of malnutrition when applied to patients with ALS. Currently, the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria, which have received a worldwide consensus, are based on parameters such as unintentional weight loss, low body mass index (BMI), and reduced muscle mass (phenotypic criteria) in combination with reduced food intake and assimilation or inflammation and disease (etiologic criteria)...

OBJECTIVES: Although egg-based interventions are effective in alleviating undernutrition for infants and toddlers, little is known regarding their effectiveness for children in remote and poor areas of China. For policy and intervention implications, the aim of this study was to examine the effects of offering one hard-boiled egg per school day to school-age children in less-developed areas of China. METHODS: This analytical sample included 346 school-age children...

Endothelial dysfunction (ED) is an early marker of vascular damage linked to the loss of integrity of the endothelial lining and represents a key step in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). ED may be reversible, hence the development and testing of effective early interventions could be beneficial for the prevention and treatment of CVDs. Recent studies have demonstrated that the consumption of dietary nitrate (NO3 - ), an inorganic anion that serves as a substrate for the gas transmitter nitric oxide (NO), can lower blood pressure, improve endothelial function and, in observational studies, reduce the risk for CVD...

Ferroptosis, a newly characterized form of programmed cell death that results from lipid peroxidation and mitochondrial dysfunction, has been demonstrated to be involved in the pathogenesis of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Scientific evidence has shown that intermittent fasting (IF) reduces both the lipid peroxidation and the mitochondrial dysfunction, raising the question of whether IF affects the ferroptosis induced by TBI. Here, based on an established TBI animal model, we examine the effects of IF on the activation of ferroptosis pathway as well as related outcomes...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of body fat, anti- and inflammatory adipokines with anti- and oxidative markers. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study with 378 schoolchildren ages 8 to 9 y in Viçosa, Minas Gerais, Brazil. We obtained information on sociodemographic and lifestyle characteristics via questionnaires, measured height and weight, and estimated body fat by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry. Blood sample was collected to analyze the adipokines (adiponectin, leptin, chemerin, and retinol-binding protein 4) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay based on the sandwich principle; and anti- and oxidant markers (plasma ferric reducing antioxidant power [FRAP], superoxide dismutase [SOD], and malondialdehyde [MDA]) by enzymatic methods...

Alzheimer's disease is a worldwide public health problem. However, the treatment method and treatment effects are limited. The stages of preclinical Alzheimer's disease are thought to be a better intervention period. Thus, in this review, food is given focus and the intervention stage put forward. We summarized the role of diet, nutrient supplementation, and microbioecologics in cognitive decline and found that interventions such as modified Mediterranean-ketogenic diet, nuts, vitamin B, and Bifidobacterium breve A1 are beneficial to cognition protection...

OBJECTIVES: Dietary patterns may have a greater influence on human health than individual foods or nutrients, and they are also of substantial interest in the field of breast cancer prevention. Beyond the adequate balance of macronutrients, evidence indicates that the quality of macronutrient sources may play an important role in health outcomes. We sought to examine the relationship between healthful and unhealthful low-fat dietary patterns in relation to breast cancer.
