Preconception diet in adolescence and its association with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and preterm birth. Results from The HUNT study
Br J Nutr. 2024 Apr 18:1-22. doi: 10.1017/S0007114524000746. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOur aim was to estimate associations of adolescent dietary patterns and meal habits with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) and preterm birth. We used data from a prospective cohort study (Norwegian Young-HUNT1) where dietary information was collected during adolescence and pregnancy outcomes were obtained through record linkage to the Norwegian national birth registry. The outcomes were HDP, hypertension, preeclampsia/ eclampsia, and preterm birth in the first pregnancy and in any pregnancy. Diet was self-reported from valida...

Investigation of the growth of Listeria in plant-based beverages
The objective of the present study was to evaluate whether the content of sugar, protein, fat, or fibre in commercially available and specially formulated plant-based beverages (oat, soya and pea) influences the growth rates of Listeria. Beverages were inoculated with a strain cocktail of Listeria (approximately 1 × 103 CFU/mL), and the data demonstrated that Listeria could proliferate in all tested beverages. Moreover, varying concentrations of naturally occurring or added sugar (0-3.3%), protein (3.3-5%), fat (1.1-3.5%) and added fibre (0-1.5%) did not have a statistically significant (p > 0.05) impact on the growth ...

Highlights from the literature
Fruit juice – good for you? Child or adult, drinking fruit juice must be a great way of contributing to your five-a-day of fruits and vegetables. There is a lot of free sugar in 100% fruit juice and no fibre. Do these high sugar drinks contribute to obesity? Nguyen M et al (JAMA Pediatr 2024;178:237–246) have completed a systematic review focussing on the evidence that fruit juice has an impact on weight gain and BMI by examining MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane databases searching up to 18 May 2023. They looked for prospective cohort studies of at least 6 months and randomised clinical trials (RCTs) of at least 2...

Diaphragm weakness in late-onset Pompe disease: A complex interplay between lower motor neuron and muscle fibre degeneration
Late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD) patients may still need ventilation support at some point of their disease course, despite regular recombinant human alglucosidase alfa treatment. This suggest that other pathophysiological mechanisms than muscle fibre lesion can contribute to the respiratory failure process. We investigate through neurophysiology whether spinal phrenic motor neuron dysfunction could contribute to diaphragm weakness in LOPD patients. (Source: Journal of the Neurological Sciences)

Gut microbiota plays a significant role in gout
J Med Microbiol. 2024 Apr;73(4). doi: 10.1099/jmm.0.001824.ABSTRACTWith the development of social economy, the incidence of gout is increasing, which is closely related to people's increasingly rich diet. Eating a diet high in purine, fat, sugar and low-fibre for a long time further aggravates gout by affecting uric acid metabolism. The renal metabolism mechanism of uric acid has been thoroughly studied. To find a new treatment method for gout, increasing studies have recently been conducted on the mechanism of intestinal excretion, metabolism and absorption of uric acid. The most important research is the relationship bet...

How do sleepwear and bedding fibre types affect sleep quality: A systematic review
J Sleep Res. 2024 Apr 16:e14217. doi: 10.1111/jsr.14217. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSleepwear and bedding materials can affect sleep quality by influencing the skin and body temperature and thermal comfort. This review systematically evaluates the impact of sleepwear or bedding of different fibre types on sleep quality. A systematic search was conducted in six data bases plus Google Scholar and manual searches. Original articles that compared human sleep quality between at least two fibre types of bedding or sleepwear were included, resulting in nine eligible articles included in the review. The fibre types included cot...

Could soil microplastic pollution exacerbate climate change? A meta-analysis of greenhouse gas emissions and global warming potential
Environ Res. 2024 Apr 15:118945. doi: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.118945. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMicroplastics pollution and climate change are primarily investigated in isolation, despite their joint threat to the environment. Greenhouse gases (GHGs) are emitted during: the production of plastic and rubber, the use and degradation of plastic, and after contamination of environment. This is the first meta-analysis to assess underlying causal relationships and the influence of likely mediators. We included 60 peer-reviewed empirical studies; estimating GHGs emissions effect size and global warming potential (GWP), accordin...
