Summary: This study found an inverse association between monounsaturated fatty acid intake and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk, and a direct association between total polyunsaturated fatty acid intake and HCC risk. Omega-6 PUFA intake was directly associated with HCC risk, while long-chain omega-3 PUFA intake was inversely associated with HCC risk. No significant association was observed for saturated fat and HCC risk.

Summary: This study evaluated the association between plasma omega-3 (6)-3 fatty acids and appendicular muscle mass index (AMMI) in adults, taking into account protein intake. The results showed a positive correlation between plasma omega-3 (6)-3 fatty acids and AMMI in individuals with low protein intake, indicating potential benefits of omega-3 (6)-3 fatty acid supplementation for muscle mass when protein intake is inadequate.

Summary: This scoping review examines the efficacy of omega-3 supplementation in treating depression and anxiety symptoms in young people aged 14-24. The results indicate that the current evidence does not support the effectiveness of omega-3 supplements in improving anxiety and depression symptoms in this age group. More research is needed to identify potential mechanisms and moderators of the effect of omega-3 supplements on these symptoms in young people.

Summary: The association between omega-3 fatty acids (n-3) and allergic diseases varies due to genetic variation. This study aimed to identify and validate genetic variants that modify the relationship between n-3 and childhood asthma or atopy. Results showed that certain SNPs in the DPP10 region interacted with n-3 levels in plasma or diet and were associated with atopy in early childhood and at age 6.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review of the scientific evidence on the oral intake of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and metabolic syndrome in adolescents. The results suggest that oral intake of omega-3 fatty acids may have a decreasing effect on blood pressure, glycemia, and triglycerides, and an increasing effect on HDL cholesterol. However, there is controversy in the scientific evidence due to the heterogeneity between studies and the divergence of results for the same metabolic syndrome component.

Summary: This study aims to explore the relationship between dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) intake, nutritional PUFAs status and sarcopenia outcomes in sarcopenic older adults. The results showed no correlation between dietary PUFAs intake and status. However, some markers of PUFAs intake and status were positively associated with sarcopenia outcomes.

Summary: Oral mucositis (OM) is a painful condition caused by cancer treatments, impacting patients' quality of life and recovery. Current management strategies are insufficient, necessitating a search for new approaches. Utilizing ω-3 fatty acids to manage OM may be an effective strategy based on preliminary evidence.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between fatty acid intake and bone mineral density (BMD) in adults aged 20-59. The results reveal a significant positive correlation between the consumption of saturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), and polyunsaturated fatty acids and BMD.

Summary: This study used the Mendelian randomization approach to explore the potential causal relationships between polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and osteoarthritis (OA), and found that higher levels of omega-6 fatty acids may reduce the risk of knee OA and hip OA. These results highlight the importance of maintaining optimal levels of PUFAs, especially omega-6 fatty acids, in individuals with a genetic predisposition to OA.

Summary: This study used a nationally generalisable cohort in New Zealand to examine the prevalence of non-timely introduction of complementary food and core food groups and its association with maternal sociodemographic and health behaviors. The results showed that early introduction of complementary food was common, while late introduction was less common. Factors such as breastfeeding duration, maternal age, education level, ethnicity, smoking during pregnancy, and attendance of childbirth preparation classes were associated with the timing of food introduction.

Summary: This article presents a multidimensional index for sustainable food systems (MISFS) to measure food system sustainability and demonstrates its applicability in the Brazilian context. The findings show an inverse relationship between economic and environmental performance, while economic performance is positively related to social and nutritional scores. Cluster analysis reveals significant differences in the sustainability profiles of food systems across Brazilian states.

Summary: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) shows promise for treating obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), but its efficacy remains inconclusive. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted, along with computer modeling analysis, to evaluate tDCS effects and electric field strengths. The results suggest that tDCS may be a promising intervention for OCD treatment, although larger studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Summary: This study assessed the effects of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques (NIBS) on working memory performance in healthy participants. The results showed that intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) significantly improved response speed, while transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and the combined protocol did not produce similar effects. In terms of safety, there were no serious adverse effects in any of the protocols.

Summary: This study investigated the association between the use of potentially inappropriate medications (PIM) and medications that may impair cognition (PIM-Cog) with cognitive performance among older adults. The study found that the use of PIM and PIM-Cog was associated with poor cognitive function. Therefore, reviewing the use of PIM and deprescribing these drugs may be an effective way to improve cognitive function.

Summary: The prefrontal cortex is crucial for cognitive processes and can be modulated by transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). However, there is limited research on the effects of tDCS on emotional material processing in the prefrontal cortex, particularly in proactive and reactive modes of cognitive control. This study found that active right-sided tDCS reduced performance and resource allocation in both proactive and reactive modes of cognitive control. These findings emphasize the importance of further research on the effects of tDCS on cognitive engagement, especially in clinical trials using this electrode montage.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between psoriasis, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (FT4), free triodothyronine (FT3), thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb), and subclinical thyroid dysfunctions. The results showed a positive association between FT4 levels and psoriasis in women, and a significant association between FT3 levels and psoriasis in the overall sample and men. However, further prospective data are needed to clarify the association between thyroid function and psoriasis.

Summary: In this study, the impact of three therapeutic strategies (medical therapy alone, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)) on long-term survival of ACS patients was evaluated. The results showed that compared to patients receiving medical therapy alone, those who underwent PCI had a lower probability of fatal events during the four-year follow-up period.
