A common problem in infants: vitamin B 12 deficiency
CONCLUSIONS: In our country, routine screening of VB 12 levels in infants is not performed; however, its early diagnosis and treatment can prevent many adverse effects mainly on the central nervous system. The fact that 98% of patients were 0-2 years old indicates that its deficiency may be quite high in the young age, and routine screening of this age group for VB 12 deficiency and further studies for prophylaxis may be needed.PMID:38204307 | DOI:10.24953/turkjped.2022.399 (Source: The Turkish Journal of Pediatrics)

Investigation of the efficacy of two different laser types in the treatment of lower lip paresthesia after sagittal split ramus osteotomy
This study aimed to investigate th e effectiveness of two different types of lasers in treating lower lip paresthesia after BSSO. This clinical trial was a controlled, single-center, prospective, single-blind, randomized study. Thirty patients were included in the study and randomly assigned to three groups: Group I (laser GRR,n = 10) received transcutaneous and transmucosal GRR laser treatment, Group II (Epic10 laser,n = 10) received transmucosal and transcutaneous Epic10 laser treatment, and Group III (vitamin B,n = 10) received B-complex vitamin tablets orally once a day. Two-point and brush tests were perfo...

Pantothenic acid - a scoping review for Nordic Nutrition Recommendations 2023
Food Nutr Res. 2023 Dec 13;67. doi: 10.29219/fnr.v67.10255. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTPantothenic acid, also referred to as vitamin B5, is a water-soluble vitamin that has essential functions in the body as a component of coenzyme A (CoA) and acyl carrier protein (ACP). It is widely distributed in animal and plant-source foods. Nutritional deficiency of pantothenic acid is rare and toxicity negligible. Information on pantothenic acid intakes in the Nordic countries is limited and biomarker data from Nordic and Baltic populations is missing. Due to a lack of data, no dietary reference values (DRVs) were given for pantothenic...

Vitamin B 6 : a scoping review for Nordic Nutrition Recommendations 2023
Food Nutr Res. 2023 Dec 19;67. doi: 10.29219/fnr.v67.10259. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTPyridoxal 5´-phosphate (PLP) is the main form of vitamin B6 in animal tissue and functions as a coenzyme for more than 160 different enzymatic reactions in the metabolism of amino acids, carbohydrates, lipids, and neurotransmitters. Estimated dietary intake of vitamin B6 and plasma PLP values differ a lot between studies, something which may be due to variable use of supplements, variations in dietary assessment and analytical methods. These factors make it difficult to achieve precise data for setting a correct recommended intake of vita...

Niacin - a scoping review for Nordic Nutrition Recommendations 2023
Food Nutr Res. 2023 Dec 12;67. doi: 10.29219/fnr.v67.10299. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTNiacin is the precursor to pyridine nucleotides NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) and NADP (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate). Niacin (vitamin B3) is the common term for nicotinic acid, nicotinamide and derivatives that exhibit the biological activity of nicotinamide. Furthermore, the indispensable amino acid tryptophan is the substrate for de novo synthesis of NAD. Thus, the requirements and intake of niacin are expressed as niacin equivalents (NE). The focus of interest for niacin over the last decade has primarily been ...

Vitamin B12 supplementation during pregnancy for maternal and child health outcomes
CONCLUSIONS: Oral vitamin B12 supplementation during pregnancy may reduce the risk of maternal vitamin B12 deficiency and may improve maternal vitamin B12 concentrations during pregnancy or postpartum compared to placebo or no vitamin B12 supplementation, but the evidence is very uncertain. The effects of vitamin B12 supplementation on other primary outcomes assessed in this review were not reported, or were not reported in a format for inclusion in quantitative analyses. Vitamin B12 supplementation during pregnancy may improve maternal and infant vitamin B12 status, but the potential impact on longer-term clinical and fun...

Predictors of anaemia in mothers and children in Uttar Pradesh, India
CONCLUSIONS: Over 70 % of mothers and children with anaemia had Fe deficiency, needing urgent attention. However, several simultaneous predictors of Hb exist, including nutrient deficiencies and inflammation. The potential of Fe interventions to address anaemia may be constrained unless coexisting determinants are jointly addressed.PMID:38185818 | PMC:PMC10830375 | DOI:10.1017/S1368980024000028 (Source: Public Health Nutrition)
