Summary: This study aims to investigate the association between early feeding practices and the risk of developing celiac disease (CD) in infants genetically predisposed to CD. It will analyze randomized controlled trials and observational studies, with the primary outcome measure being CD or CD autoimmunity. The findings will be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal.

Summary: A gluten-free diet is essential for treating celiac disease and may improve symptoms in non-celiac gluten/wheat sensitivity. However, adopting a gluten-free diet or a gluten-restricted diet may increase the risk of malnutrition and nutrient deficiencies. Therefore, patients with these conditions should undergo nutritional assessment and monitoring, and receive multidisciplinary care for long-term nutrition management.

Summary: The study examined the association between specific dietary factors and incident COVID-19 in the UK Biobank, finding that consuming coffee, vegetables, and being breastfed as a baby were associated with reduced odds of COVID-19 positivity, while consuming processed meats was associated with increased odds. Adherence to certain dietary behaviors may be an additional tool in limiting the spread of the virus.

Summary: The incidence of celiac disease is increasing due to both improved recognition and a real increase of the disorder. The reasons for this true rise are unclear, but may be related to environmental factors. Early-life gluten exposure is a major focus of prevention efforts.

Summary: Celiac disease is an immune-mediated disorder caused by the ingestion of gluten. It can present as asymptomatic or with multiple systemic symptoms. The rising obesity rates have led to an increased possibility of diagnosing celiac disease in obese patients, who may also have obesity-related disorders such as metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). The exact mechanisms linking celiac disease and obesity-related disorders are not yet known, but a gluten-free diet and alterations in the gut-liver axis may play a role.

Summary: This study evaluated the nutritional and oral health status of children with previously diagnosed celiac disease (CD) who follow a gluten-free diet, as well as recently diagnosed CD patients. The results showed significant differences between the previously diagnosed patients and recently diagnosed patients in terms of toothpaste preference, frequency of dental visits, and types of dental treatment received. Therefore, children with CD should be directed to a pediatric dentist to improve oral and dental health, alleviate symptoms of oral mucosal lesions, inform about enamel defects, and encourage the use of gluten-free oral care products.

Summary: Celiac disease patients have an increased risk of cancer, especially within the first year after diagnosis. The risk is highest in individuals diagnosed with CD after age 60.

Summary: This study examined the prevalence of orthorexia in individuals with celiac disease, and found that 71% of celiac disease patients had a risk of orthorexia. Age was positively correlated with the risk of orthorexia, and those at risk were more likely to prepare their own meals and pay less attention to the caloric content of food.

Summary: The study found that in children with celiac disease, there was an increase in the stained area of ferroportin and a decrease in the saturation of hephaestin. However, there were no differences in transporter protein expressions between anemic and non-anemic patients. The results suggest an iron status-independent alteration of ferroportin and hephaestin proteins in children with histologically confirmed celiac disease.

Summary: Histamine intolerance is characterized by an imbalance of accumulated histamine and the capacity for histamine degradation. While the clinical presentation of histamine intolerance in children is similar to that in adults, a histamine-reduced diet and diamine oxidase supplementation are commonly used treatments. Further research is needed to better understand the epidemiology, diagnostic algorithms, and treatment options for histamine intolerance in children.

Summary: The EuroMOMO network monitors excess mortality in 27 European countries, with the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 resulting in high levels of excess mortality. Currently, there is a new surge in COVID-19 cases in Europe leading to substantial excess all-cause mortality observed by EuroMOMO.

Summary: Research shows that measles vaccine coverage among children born to Somali immigrants in Norway is low and decreasing over time. Children born to mothers who have resided in Norway for longer periods have lower vaccination coverage. Children born in the capital and surrounding counties have significantly lower coverage compared to those born elsewhere in Norway. New targeted interventions are needed to improve vaccine coverage in this population.

Summary: There was no overall association between temperature or sunshine with suicidal behavior, but age was a significant effect modifier for suicide and suicide attempt regarding exposure to sunshine and temperature. Older age groups showed a higher risk of suicidal behavior with increased sunshine and temperature.

Summary: A study in Norway has shown the impact of extreme weather events on drinking water quality and waterborne diseases. The findings indicate positive associations between extreme weather events and raw water quality, but fewer associations with treated drinking water. Improvement in water treatment capacity may be necessary to cope with extreme weather events in the future climate change.

Summary: Climate change in Norway will result in higher temperatures, increased precipitation and runoff, and more intense and frequent extreme weather events. This will lead to deterioration in water quality, particularly in the Western and Northern parts of the country. Ensuring sufficient treatment capacity requires further studies on treatment effects and microbial risk assessments.
