Summary: Abdominal pain, a common symptom worldwide, often occurs after food ingestion. Current treatment strategies mainly focus on excluding culprit food(s) from the diet. However, this approach has limitations, as patients may recognize multiple food items and not all offending foods can be identified. Newly identified mechanisms involving neuroimmune interactions and intestinal microbiota communication are important for developing new therapeutic strategies.

Summary: High IL-10 levels are crucial for parasite survival in visceral leishmaniasis. Regulatory T cells (Treg) expressing IL-10 and CD73 may play a role in VL pathology. Treg frequency was higher in VL patients compared to healthy individuals, and SLA stimulation further increased IL-10 expression in Treg. CD73 expression was also elevated in the VL group. Treg may not be the main source of IL-10, while the CD73 pathway could contribute to immune response modulation in VL disease.

Summary: We assessed the intake of total polyphenols and their classes based on the NOVA classification among Brazilian adults. A cross-sectional study using a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) was conducted to evaluate food consumption, and the polyphenol content (total and their classes) was estimated for each food category. The results showed that higher consumption of fresh/minimally processed foods was associated with higher intake of total polyphenols and their classes, while higher consumption of ultra-processed foods was linked to lower intake of these compounds. Fresh foods were found to be the main sources of polyphenols, highlighting the importance of their daily consumption, while ultra-processed foods were lacking in these bioactive compounds.
