Summary: The aim of this study was to evaluate nutritional imbalances in children with coeliac disease (CD) on a strict gluten-free diet (GFD). The results showed that children with CD had lower levels of folic acid and vitamin B-1, lower calcium levels, and lower intake of calcium, folic acid, and vitamin D compared to dietary recommendations. However, their intake of proteins and carbohydrates exceeded the recommended levels. Additionally, a significantly higher number of CD children were classified as underweight.

Summary: The prevalence of non-coeliac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) in fibromyalgia patients is low, and a gluten-free diet (GFD) can improve their intestinal symptoms. However, not all patients meet the diagnostic criteria, and diarrhea, intraepithelial lymphocytosis, and lower levels of anxiety are associated with diet response.

Summary: A gluten-free diet is currently the only effective treatment for celiac disease, but it is difficult for patients to maintain this diet for life. Commercial immunochemical assays are used to detect gluten, but the lack of official reference materials may lead to systematic deviations in the quantitation results.

Summary: Coeliac disease is an autoimmune disorder caused by the ingestion of gluten containing foods in genetically susceptible individuals, with a worldwide prevalence of up to 1%. The only available treatment is a gluten-free diet. This study investigated the prevalence of a gluten-free diet in hospital clinic settings and the general population, and found that a significant number of individuals may be misdiagnosed for coeliac disease based on serological tests. Additionally, there was a higher proportion of females excluding gluten from their diet.

Summary: The gluten-free diet is popular for treating immune-mediated disorders caused by gluten, but it has disadvantages like high costs, nutritional deficiencies, and social and psychological barriers. Close follow-up with patients following the diet is recommended, and more data is needed to assess its effectiveness in managing mental and cognitive disorders.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) of Italian children and their parents with coeliac disease using the Coeliac Disease Dutch Questionnaire (CDDUX). The Italian version of the CDDUX questionnaire was found to be a valid and reliable tool for evaluating HRQoL in children and adolescents with CD, showing significant differences in HRQoL among populations of different nationalities. The main clinical variable affecting HRQoL in both children and parents was found to be lower age.

Summary: Qualitative research has highlighted the complexities and mechanisms surrounding the implementation and use of Clinical Cancer Decision Tools (CCDTs) by general practitioners (GPs). GPs find CCDTs useful for increasing awareness of signs and symptoms of undiagnosed cancer, but have concerns about trust in their clinical acumen and referral validity by secondary care clinicians. Additional stakeholder consultation and careful development are crucial for successful uptake of CCDTs in primary care.

Summary: This study aims to explore the barriers and facilitators to prescribing error reporting in primary care. The findings suggest that the capability, opportunity, and motivation to report prescribing errors in primary care are influenced by various factors. Three key contextual factors that underpin the behavioral influences on reporting are identified: the nature of prescribing, heterogeneous priorities for error reporting across and within different primary care organizations, and the complex infrastructure of reporting and learning pathways in primary care. The study highlights the lack of consistency in how, when, and by whom prescribing errors are reported across primary care.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the effects of environmental factors on eating behavior and food intake in toddlers. The results showed that food fussiness was more common in older children, children conceived with medical assistance, children exposed to distractions during meals, rewarded by parents to finish meals, free to eat at will, and those who ate only occasionally with the whole family. Unsatisfactory dietary diversification was not significantly associated with any variable.

Summary: The UK's aging population requires promotion of balanced nutrition, with a particular focus on increasing dietary fiber intake. Surveys involving older adults showed their willingness to learn about dietary fiber and the need for accessible information. Educational materials proved effective in engaging older adults and were perceived as useful. A holistic approach, involving support from various sources, can aid in improving dietary fiber consumption and overall health outcomes among older adults.

Summary: Overeating associated with neurogenic obesity after spinal cord injury (SCI) may be related to how persons with SCI experience satiation, their eating frequency, and the context in which they eat their meals. Those with SCI rely less on physiological satiation cues for meal termination and instead rely more on hedonic cues. There are differences in meal contexts and eating frequency between SCI individuals and controls, with SCI individuals consuming fewer meals but having a higher overall eating frequency due to increased snacking. These factors likely contribute to overeating associated with neurogenic obesity after SCI.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between executive functions and cognition during adolescence, and the intake of fat and sugar two years later. The study found that higher impulsivity and reward-seeking behaviors were related to greater fat and sugar intake in males, while higher negative urgency and BMI were related to greater intake in both sexes. These findings suggest that individuals with certain traits may be more at risk for weight gain due to overconsumption of unhealthy foods.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic and associated lockdowns resulted in changes in food accessibility and availability, leading to shifts in food habits and behaviors among people worldwide. A study conducted in Australia examined the self-reported changes in food habits and behaviors of adults during the COVID-19 restrictions in 2020. The majority of respondents reported developing positive food habits, such as trying new recipes, cooking from scratch, and reducing take-away meals. The study also found that family involvement in food preparation and eating together increased during the restrictions. However, there were negative experiences, including difficulties in purchasing certain foods and limited access to food outlets.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between sensory reactivity and feeding problems in young children. The results showed that taste/smell sensitivity was significantly associated with difficulties in texture transition/introduction, limited variety of foods, and both feeding problems. Additionally, children with total sensory reactivity or auditory filtering sensory reactivity had a higher prevalence of consuming a limited variety of foods. These findings highlight the importance of considering sensory reactivity as a potential predictor of feeding problems.
