Summary: This study investigated whether gluten induces gastrointestinal symptoms and mental health symptoms in adolescents. The results showed that compared with placebo, adding gluten to the diet did not induce gastrointestinal symptoms or worsened mental health.

Summary: Cereal crop progenitors in the Fertile Crescent region showed greater germination success, faster germination rates, and larger aboveground biomass when grown in competition with other wild grass species. Seed size was positively correlated with various traits, including germination success and speed, with larger seeds benefiting crop progenitors in competitive environments.

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: The study found that a gluten-free diet is not effective in reducing symptoms for patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), while a low fermentable oligo-, di-, and monosaccharides and polyols diet (LFD) is more effective in reducing symptoms and improving quality of life.

Summary: This study examines the impact of land legacy effects on land use/land cover change, using historical data from Cimarron County, Oklahoma, during the Dust Bowl era. Results show that families with larger landholdings were more likely to persist through the Dust Bowl, while corporate operators were most aggressive in adopting irrigation. This raises questions about sustainability and uneven access to resources.

Summary: This study evaluated the effect of endopeptidase P1016 and controlled reintroduction of gluten in NCGS patients. The results showed that P1016 had no effect on symptoms, and patients reported increased abdominal pain and worsening of stool consistency during gluten reintroduction.

Summary: This study showed that a gluten-free diet is effective in treating patients with FBD, especially in those with a positive low-grade coeliac score and coeliac lymphogram.

Summary: This review examines the clinical associations of celiac disease (CeD), non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS), and IBD, focusing on the therapeutic efficacy of gluten-free diets (GFD) or low-gluten diets in the therapy of IBD. While some cross-sectional reports suggest that a GFD may improve symptoms in IBD patients, current data do not support the universal use of a GFD in IBD due to a lack of high-quality prospective clinical studies.

Summary: The study found that there was no significant difference in symptom severity within the NCGS group whether they received placebo or gluten. Patients with NCGS were more adherent to the GFD based on stool and urine GIP results, and had increased symptom severity at baseline compared with healthy controls. Neither group had significantly increased symptoms after ingestion of gluten.

Summary: Neuroimaging studies have shown that cerebellar manifestations are prevalent in patients with gluten sensitivity, with cerebellar atrophy and white matter abnormalities being common findings. Magnetic resonance imaging, single-photon emission computed tomography, and magnetic resonance spectroscopy have been useful tools in diagnosing and monitoring brain changes in these patients, although more prospective studies are needed to further explore the neurological manifestations of gluten sensitivity on a gluten-free diet.

Summary: This meta-analysis examines the effect of a gluten-free diet (GFD) on TgAb, TPOAb, TSH, FT4, and FT3 levels in patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) and no symptoms or histology of celiac disease (CD). The results indicate that GFD can reduce antibody levels, decrease TSH levels, and increase FT4 levels in HT patients, but has no significant effect on FT3 levels. However, current evidence is not sufficient to recommend this dietary approach to all patients with a diagnosis of HT.

Summary: This study compared adherence to a gluten-free diet (GFD) in patients with coeliac disease (CD) and non-coeliac gluten/wheat sensitivity (NCGWS), and assessed its impact on quality of life and sleep. Results showed that patients with NCGWS had poorer adherence to GFD compared to CD, and this poorer adherence was associated with worse quality of life and sleep performance.

Summary: The histological changes in the duodenal mucosa of patients with non-coeliac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) show distinct alterations consistent with an intestinal response to luminal antigens, even at the Marsh 0 stage of villus architecture.

Summary: The rise and fall of ancient societies have been linked to rapid climate change events, with the 4.2kya event being a significant driver of global societal changes. Archaeological studies have shown negative trends in population, settlement organization, and urbanization during this event horizon, highlighting the potentially unsustainable growth of urban and rural areas during that period, even without external climate pressures.
