Aggressive fluid and sodium restriction in decompensated heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF): results from a randomized clinical trial
• Salt/water restriction in Heart Failure has been questioned.• Salt/water restriction may offer no clinical benefit for HFREF patients.• Aggressive salt/water restriction does not provide clinical benefits in HFPEF.• It may produce more thirst and may impair the patients' food intake.• It does not seem to have neurohormonal effect in HFPEF patients.

New food approaches to reduce and/or eliminate increased gastric acidity related to gastroesophageal pathologies
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or Gastro-Oesophageal Reflux Disease (GORD), is a disease of interest in gastroenterology that is caused by pathological complications of gastroesophageal reflux (GER). It may have several clinical presentations: disphagia, cough, rhinitis, burning in the jugular region, chest pain that mimics a heart attack, otitis. He definition of GERD is: “a condition that develops when the reflux of stomach contents causes troublesome symptoms and/or complications” [1-3]. (Source: Nutrition)

Methodological issue on validating a new predictive equation for resting metabolic rate
In this study, the authors developed a new equation to predict the resting metabolic rate (RMR) in severely obese women. By comparing their novel equation with previously published predictive equations, the authors concluded an accurate RMR estimation base d on their new equation. However, although this is excellent work, several pertinent concerns need to be highlighted in terms of methodological issues and analyses. (Source: Nutrition)

High salt intake increases plasma trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) concentration and produces gut dysbiosis in rats.
• Increased plasma TMAO, a bacteria metabolite, is a cardiovascular risk marker.• We found that high salt intake increases plasma TMAO in rats.• High salt intake altered gut bacteria composition.• High-salt diet may affect an interplay between gut bacteria and host homeostasis. (Source: Nutrition)

Cord blood concentrations of leptin, zinc- α2-glycoprotein and adiponectin, and adiposity gain in the first three months of life
• Cord blood leptin and ZAG are inversely associated with infant adiposity gain during the first months of life in girls.• There is a sexual dimorphism in fat mass development.• Adiponectin does not show any association with infant adiposity gain during the first months of life in girls or boy s.
