Summary: This study examined the relationship between maternal nutrition during pre-pregnancy and early pregnancy and the incidence of small-for-gestational-age neonates in women with gestational diabetes mellitus. The findings suggest that higher fat intake and lower intake of carbohydrates, fiber, magnesium, and copper during early pregnancy are associated with an increased risk of small-for-gestational-age neonates. These results emphasize the importance of assessing and modifying maternal nutrition in reducing the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus and its associated complications.

Summary: This study examines the association between the inflammatory capacity of diet measured by DII and multiple sclerosis in Jordan. By surveying and analyzing data from participants matched on age, they found a consistent increase in MS risk according to DII score. The results suggest that individuals with a more pro-inflammatory diet have a higher risk of developing multiple sclerosis.

Summary: A study found that the use of a novel standardized parenteral nutrition (PN) solution called MUC PREPARE can improve nutritional intake, accelerate termination of parenteral feeding, and positively affect growth in very preterm infants. Infants receiving MUC PREPARE showed improved macro- and micronutrient intake, balanced electrolyte levels, and stable metabolomic profiles. The use of MUC PREPARE also resulted in earlier termination of parenteral feeding and higher weight gain in extremely immature infants. This new standardized PN solution is considered a superior therapeutic strategy for very preterm infants.

Summary: This study analyzes the effects of nutritional information acquired from relatives, neighbors, and friends on the nutrition intake of rural households in China. The results show that acquiring nutritional information significantly improves households' intake of fats, iron, and selenium but does not affect the intake of proteins, carbohydrates, and zinc. The analysis also indicates that females and large households respond more significantly to nutritional information.

Summary: Food and nutrients are essential for the development of dentition and oral health. The assimilation of nutrients depends on good oral health for food ingestion, and oral health depends on the availability of nutrients in the food. Factors such as age, medical conditions, socioeconomic status, and societal changes influence diet and consequently impact oral health.

The results showed that most women's diet quality and nutrient intake were inconsistent with Australian recommendations. This may have negative implications for perinatal and long-term offspring health.

Summary: The study found that individuals with low socioeconomic status in Latin America tended to consume less fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fiber, and fish and seafood, but more legumes. However, diet quality and body mass index were observed to improve with higher socioeconomic status. Additionally, women in low socioeconomic status were more likely to have abdominal obesity and excess weight compared to those in middle and high socioeconomic statuses.

Summary: Autism spectrum disorder is a serious neurodevelopmental disease that affects social communication and behavior, and is associated with dysbiosis in the gut microbiota. It has been found that individuals with autism have a different gut microbiota composition compared to healthy individuals, and nutritional cofactors play a crucial role in maximizing brain function.

Summary: The intestinal microbiota begins to form in the mother's womb and undergoes changes influenced by various factors. It plays a crucial role in immune system maturation and the prevention of diseases throughout different stages of life. Nutrition is a key factor in the development of the microbiota in infants after birth, with breast milk oligosaccharides playing a vital role. Breastfed infants have a higher number of Bifidobacterium species and lower diversity, which is considered protective. Dysbiosis in the microbiota can have adverse effects on health, but human milk oligosaccharides and short-chain fatty acids resulting from their digestion have protective effects. Another component, HM glycoproteins, also shape the gut microbiota. The aim of this study is to examine the impact of breast milk on microbiota development and present the findings from a literature review.

Summary: The incidence of cancer increases with aging due to shared molecular pathways. While genetics only accounts for about 20-25% of human lifespan, epigenetic changes play a significant role in individual health and aging. Both genetic and environmental factors, including diet, can modify aging and age-related diseases. Epigenetics shows promise in preventing and managing certain cancers and diseases, with specific nutritional components having a significant impact on gene regulatory processes.

Summary: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by ectopic endometrial implants. Diet may have an important role in the development of endometriosis. Prior studies suggest an inverse relationship between endometriosis and the consumption of fruits, vegetables, dairy products, and omega-3 fatty acids, while increased consumption of trans-unsaturated fatty acids and red meat may increase the risk of endometriosis. However, further research is needed to confirm these associations.

Summary: This study involved 458 participants and collected their demographic information, health information, as well as Social Media Addiction and Emotional Eating Scale scores. The findings showed that adults had a moderate level of social media addiction, and women were more interested in social media than men. The study also found that as participants' average age increased, their virtual tolerance, virtual communication, and social media scores decreased (p < .05). Moreover, 51.6% of individuals with emotional eating tendencies were obese, and those with emotional eating tendencies had higher social media addiction scores compared to those without emotional eating tendencies (p < .05).

Summary: It may not always be possible for obese individuals to limit energy intake or increase energy expenditure through exercise. For this reason, the search for effective methods to combat obesity continues. The anti-obesity effects of stilbenes, such as pterostilbene and resveratrol, have recently been highlighted. These dietary phytochemicals can promote weight loss by increasing metabolic rate and altering lipid metabolism. Stilbenes have shown promising potential in activating thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue and promoting the browning of white adipose tissue, making them attractive candidates in the prevention and treatment of obesity. However, further research is needed to determine optimal dosage, safety, and potential side effects.

Summary: Vitamin D is an immunomodulatory hormone that regulates hormone secretion, immune functions, and cell proliferation and differentiation. It is associated with immune tolerance, and low serum vitamin D levels can lead to various immune system diseases. Supplementation of vitamin D can lessen the severity of disease activity, but the optimal dosage is still uncertain.
