Article Synopsis
- Spontaneous abortion (SA) is a common complication in pregnancy influenced by genetic factors and maternal nutrition.
- A study analyzed 192 women with a history of SA versus 347 healthy women, examining the impact of dietary carotenoids and specific gene polymorphisms on the occurrence of SA.
- The findings revealed that higher intake of β-cryptoxanthin might protect against SA only in women with the TT genotype of the related gene, while no significant links were found for other carotenoids.
Objectives: Several studies demonstrated the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids supplementation in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of omega-3 fatty acids supplementation in body composition, specifically on the lean body mass and fat mass in hemodialysis patients.
Methods: In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, a total of 120 end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients were randomly allocated into two groups.
Article Synopsis
- Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a serious health problem that can lead to other issues, like anemia, and this study looked at how two types of oils could help patients who are on dialysis.
- The study involved 120 CKD patients in Iran who took either omega-3 or medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil capsules for 8 weeks to see how their iron and other levels changed.
- The results showed that MCT oil helped to increase iron levels more than omega-3, but other factors like hemoglobin and ferritin levels didn't change much, and more research is needed on MCT oils.
Background And Aim: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most prevalent cancers around the world. The link between nutrients and the likelihood of developing CRC remains uncertain. The primary objective of the present study was to investigate the potential connection between dietary intake/dietary supplements and the occurrence of CRC through a literature review.

- * Researchers conducted a case-control study with 258 individuals with TGA and 520 without, using a food frequency questionnaire to assess fat intake.
- * Findings indicate that higher intake of alpha-linolenic acid (a type of omega-3) is linked to a lower risk of TGA, while higher intake of n-6 fatty acids is associated with an increased risk, even after accounting for other factors.
Aim: The effect of dietary lycopene on ischemic heart disease (IHD) is not clear. Hence, this study aimed to determine the association between dietary lycopene and IHD.
Methods: This case-control study was conducted on 443 patients with physician confirmed diagnosis of IHD as the case group and 443 healthy individuals as the control group.
Aim: Amnesia is a cognitive disorder that may lead to memory loss. Caffeine is a psychoactive substance which have an effect on memory and cognitive functions. This study aimed to assess the association of transient global amnesia (TGA) with dietary intake of caffeine.

Methods: This case-control study was conducted on 125 women with recently diagnosis of reduced ovarian reserves (AMH < 1.
Background: FTO gene is associated with obesity, dietary intake, and the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). In this study, patients with colorectal cancer were assessed for the interactions between FTO gene polymorphisms and dietary intake.
Methods: This case-control study was carried out on 450 participants aged 35-70 years including 150 patients with colorectal cancer and 300 healthy controls.
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between dietary acidity load and clinical symptoms in the patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This case-control study examined 55 patients with RA and 215 healthy individuals in a Ravansar non-communicable diseases (RaNCDs) cohort study, Iran. Participants' food intakes were assessed using a validated food frequency questionnaire.
