Summary: The study identified three dietary patterns among ESCC patients, including the 'Prudent' pattern rich in fruits and vegetables, the 'Western' pattern with low consumption of these food groups and higher sugar intake, and the 'Lower consumers-combination' pattern with a diet poor in nutrients. Italy and Switzerland showed differences in pattern sizes and specific food preferences, with the 'Western' and 'Lower consumers-combination' patterns associated with an increased risk of ESCC compared to the 'Prudent' pattern.

Summary: The study evaluated dietary taste patterns in early childhood and found that at age 2, taste patterns were more varied and intense, similar to patterns observed in Dutch adults. Factors such as maternal socioeconomic characteristics and feeding practices were associated with dietary taste patterns in young children.

Summary: This study found that maternal pre-pregnancy BMI and human milk exposure influenced the alpha and beta diversity of the infant gut microbiota at 6 months of age. The major determinant was the proportion of human milk in the infant diet.

Summary: The study aimed to develop nutritious recipes for complementary feeding for children aged 6-23 months in Bangladesh, as well as provide guidelines for doctors, nutritionists, and caregivers. Through a baseline survey and Trials of Improved Practices, it was found that most of the recipes were acceptable to both mothers and children, leading to the development of a manual and guideline for improved complementary feeding practices. This report serves as evidence-based practical knowledge for training and nutrition education for practitioners, policy makers, and academicians.

Summary: The study found that maternal adherence to a protein-rich dietary pattern during pregnancy was associated with lower infant body mass index z-scores and a lower risk of overweight and obesity, while adherence to a vegetable-fruit-rice dietary pattern was associated with increased infant BMI and obesity risk. The results suggest that different maternal dietary patterns may have varying effects on infant weight and obesity status.

Summary: In this study, rapid advancement of enteral feeds did not significantly impact infants' growth up to age 5. Weight and BMI standard deviation scores at age 5 remained lower than the reference population, suggesting that accelerated feeding may not contribute to increased childhood adiposity risk.

Summary: This study evaluated the association between plant-based dietary patterns and the risk of dementia. The overall results showed no strong evidence for a relationship between plant-based eating and the risk of dementia. However, stratified analyses revealed a linear association between a healthy plant-based diet and a lower risk of dementia in men and APOE ε4 carriers, while a U-shaped association was found in APOE ε4 non-carriers.

Summary: The TRIGR trial investigated the effects of different infant formulas on reducing the risk of type 1 diabetes in genetically at-risk infants, focusing on formula intake, feeding of nonrecommended foods, and serum cow's milk antibody concentration. The study observed good compliance with most infants receiving study formula, but compliance varied between regions and breastfeeding duration. High dietary compliance is crucial for accurate interpretation of study results in infant feeding trials.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of four a priori-defined diet quality indices on nutrition impact symptoms (NIS) in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) 1 year postdiagnosis. It was found that higher adherence to the aMED and DASH diet quality indices before treatment may help reduce NIS burden at 1-year postdiagnosis.

Summary: The study revealed that only a small number of countries in 80 low- and middle-income countries have achieved recommended levels of complementary feeding practices for children, with significant differences between regions. There is a clear association between wealth and complementary feeding indicators, with pro-rich within-country inequalities being more common.

Summary: There is a rising interest in the impact of diet on ophthalmic conditions. Recent studies have shown that diet can affect the pathogenesis of these diseases through oxidative stress, inflammation, and macular pigmentation. Epidemiologic investigations have also demonstrated the real-world influence of diet on the incidence and progression of common ophthalmic conditions.

Summary: Depression is a common mental disorder worldwide, and treatment resistance is often observed. Ketamine, an antidepressant, is frequently used for treatment-resistant depression. Research suggests that a healthy diet can lower the risk of developing depression and support conventional treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the dietary habits of patients with treatment-resistant depression and analyze the impact of ketamine on their food intake. The results revealed disrupted eating habits in patients with treatment-resistant depression, and after ketamine administration, there was a significant reduction in the consumption of various nutrients compared to the control group.

Summary: The study conducted in the REGARDS cohort found a trend towards an inverse association of the Mediterranean diet score with SCD risk, and a trend towards a positive association of adherence to the Southern dietary pattern with SCD risk.

Summary: This study used latent class growth analysis to examine the chronicity of children's exposure to community violence from early school age to early adolescence and identified early risk factors associated with different exposure trajectories. The findings highlight the interaction between child activity level and maternal harshness in predicting high exposure-increasing trajectory, along with early caregiving instability. These findings have important theoretical implications and offer insights for early intervention.

Summary: This study examined the associations between prenatal substance exposure and adolescent cortisol reactivity in response to stress. It found that cortisol reactivity in infancy, early-life adversity, and parenting behaviors had direct and interactive effects on adolescent cortisol reactivity. The results showed that prenatal tobacco exposure was associated with elevated cortisol reactivity, while higher caregiver sensitivity was associated with lower likelihood of elevated cortisol reactivity. Prenatal cocaine exposure was associated with higher maternal harshness. These findings highlight the importance of prenatal substance exposure and parenting behaviors in shaping adolescent stress response.

Summary: Exposure to marital conflict has been linked to teen dating violence, especially in families affected by paternal alcoholism. Positive parenting behaviors may mitigate the effects of exposure to conflict, but a multipronged approach targeting both parental and parent-child relationships is recommended for violence prevention in high-risk families.
