Summary: The aim of this study was to explore the effects of fermented dairy products (FDPs) on inflammatory biomarkers. The analysis showed that FDPs supplementation decreased CRP levels and increased IFN-gamma levels, but had no effect on other inflammatory markers. These findings should be interpreted with caution due to limited literature.

Summary: Spore-forming Bacillus cereus is a common contaminant of dairy products that can contaminate milk at various stages of production. Pasteurization treatment is not effective in reducing contamination and may actually activate spore germination. The prevalence and concentration of B. cereus in milk and dairy products differ greatly worldwide. The production of biofilms by B. cereus is a major concern for the dairy industry, as it makes cleaning and transfer of spores difficult. The correct application of hygienic procedures is crucial to prevent and manage the circulation of B. cereus in the dairy supply chain.

Summary: Bone mineral mass, geometry, and microstructure are important determinants of fracture risk, being influenced by both bone accrual during growth and bone loss later in life. Factors such as genetics and dietary intake, particularly calcium and protein from dairy products, play a significant role in peak bone mass attainment. Avoiding dairy products, especially during growth stages, may increase the risk of fracture.

Summary: A sp-ICP-MS method with improved sensitivity was developed for the determination of SeNPs in lactic acid bacteria, bifidobacteria, and yeast. The use of 1% methanol for sample dispersion preparation led to a decrease in detection limits compared to pure aqueous dispersion. The accuracy of SeNPs' size and number concentration determination was tested and found to be reliable.

Summary: Food fraud, including adulteration, counterfeiting, substitution, and inaccurate labeling, is a significant concern due to economic interests and consumers' health protection. Animal origin food products, such as milk, dairy products, meat and meat products, eggs, and fishery products, are commonly adulterated. Detecting adulteration is vital to prevent unfair competition and protect consumers' rights. Accurate and automated analytical techniques, combined with chemometric tools, provide reliable information on adulteration and fraud. This review presents recent advances in analytical techniques and chemometric approaches for addressing authenticity issues in animal origin food products.

Summary: This systematic review examined the measurement properties of self-and proxy-reported questionnaires measuring 24-hour movement behaviors in children and adolescents. The review included 29 studies and 37 questionnaires, and assessed the content, convergent and criterion validity, reliability, measurement error, and bias of each questionnaire. The findings revealed insufficient measurement properties and the lack of questionnaires considering the 24-hour movement behavior paradigm. Better questionnaires are needed to improve monitoring and surveillance systems in this population.

Summary: This study aimed to establish an equation to predict the results of the six-minute walk test (6MWT) and observe its agreement with measured values. The results showed a strong correlation between the 6MWT and the two-minute step test (2MST), and the regression equation derived from multiple linear regression showed good agreement with measured values when the 6MWT was below 600 meters. Therefore, the 2MST can serve as an alternative approach when time and space are limited.

Summary: This investigation aimed to describe the current physical fitness (PF) status of Portuguese youth, compare secular trends from 2008 and 2018, and establish updated age- and sex-specific percentile values for distinct PF tests. In 2018, boys surpassed girls in multiple PF tests, while girls showed improvement in flexibility. The present investigation provides new and updated PF percentile curves for Portuguese youth.

Summary: This cross-sectional study in Brazil aimed to examine the association between parental physical activity and social support with adolescents meeting physical activity recommendations. The results showed that for boys, having parents who always attend and meet the physical activity recommendations were associated with meeting the recommendations. For girls, having parents who sometimes encourage them was associated with lower odds of meeting the recommendations. These findings can inform future interventions targeting physical activity behaviors in adolescents.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between mental difficulties, cognitive function, and factors such as physical fitness, exercise, obesity, and socio-demographic factors in children. The results showed that age and physical fitness moderate the relationship between cognitive function and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, while the 24-hour movement components influence the relationship between cognitive function and mental difficulties. Centrality measures from network analysis suggest that physical fitness, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, and screen time are crucial nodes for future interventions.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity of continuous training (MICT) on overweight adolescents. The results showed that HIIT reduced body mass index, waist-to-height ratio, low-density lipoprotein, and C-reactive protein, while increasing physical fitness. MICT reduced high-density lipoprotein, while increasing physical fitness. In the control group, improvements were seen in body composition and heart rate. Individual responsiveness was observed in inflammatory process and physical fitness. The interventions with exercises were effective in improving adiposity, metabolic health, and physical fitness in overweight adolescents.

Summary: Nowadays, cryoballoon (CB) has become an established alternative to radio frequency (RF) ablation for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI), with the ability to isolate PVs in a single application. In a study on over 1000 consecutive patients, our center optimized the CB PVI procedure. It is expected that future guidelines will recommend CB as the first-line PVI for patients with paroxysmal AF and a class I indication. In a long-term follow-up of the EARLY-AF trial, CB showed a lower incidence of persistent atrial fibrillation compared to anti-arrhythmic drugs.
