Advances in Care and Outcomes for Children with Cystic Fibrosis
The landscape of care for children with cystic fibrosis (CF), a genetic disorder of chloride transport with multisystem manifestations including inspissated mucus, recurrent sinopulmonary infections, obstructive lung disease, and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, is rapidly changing. Early diagnosis via newborn screening enabling timely nutritional support, chronic therapies to improve mucociliary clearance, and prompt treatment of pulmonary infections have improved overall outcomes in children with CF. More widespread availability of novel cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator modulator therapies for childr...

The relationship between income, weight, and using traffic-light labeling to buy processed food in Ecuador
AbstractThis paper presents an investigation of the factors influencing the decision to purchase processed food based on traffic-light labeling (TLL). To achieve this, we use data from the official National Survey of Health and Nutrition, which gathered information on 26,532 individuals aged between 19 and 59 between 2011 and 2013. Employing a probit regression to assess the likelihood of buying food based on TLL, we identify a positive association between income level and the probability of buying food based on TLL; indeed, our model suggests that a 1% increase in monthly income increases by 0.008 the probability of buyin...

Oncheong-eum alleviated hepatic lipid accumulation and intestinal barrier disruption in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis in vivo model
ConclusionOCE reduces body weight, increases the weight of organs when fed a high-fat diet, and improves the lipid composition of the serum and liver. Therefore, OCE has shown great application potential as a material for obesity-related medicines and health-functional food. (Source: Molecular and Cellular Toxicology)

A Personalized Mediterranean Diet Improves Pain and Quality of Life in Patients with Fibromyalgia
ConclusionsThe habit of eating inflammatory foods and/or eating meals with the wrong nutritional content would increase the negative status of patients with fibromyalgia. With this study, we confirm that proper attention to feeding habits would improve the quality of life of such patients. (Source: Pain and Therapy)

Long-term benefits of exclusive human milk diet in small for gestational age neonates: a systematic review of the literature
AbstractEvidence about feeding practices ’ consequences in small for gestational age newborns is not well established because they are less likely to initiate and continue breastfeeding than other newborns. Our aim was to study current knowledge about the benefits of exclusive human milk diet after 2 years of age in small for gestational age newborns. A systematic review of the literature was conducted according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guideline criteria. Pubmed and Scopus were searched for studies published from databases inception until June 2, 2023. Included artic...

Direct < i > Salmonella < /i > injection into enteroid cells allows the study of host –pathogen interactions in the cytosol with high spatiotemporal resolution

Intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) play pivotal roles in nutrient uptake and in the protection against gut microorganisms. However, certain enteric pathogens, such asSalmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Tm), can invade IECs by employing flagella and type III secretion systems (T3SSs) with cognate effector proteins and exploit IECs as a replicative niche. Detection of flagella or T3SS proteins by IECs results in rapi...
