Emerging in the 1800s under the label "fat in the liver" and later gaining prominence in the 1980 as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the disease predominantly attributed to metabolic dysfunction presents a formidable health issue marked by substantial morbidity and mortality. It was 2020 when a change of one letter "NAFLD" to metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease "MAFLD" linked with the change in the definition and diagnostic criteria began a new controversy around the globe. Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) criteria represent a substantial departure from previous diagnostic measures of NAFLD, and provide the first set of positive criteria for diagnosis of the disease in adults and children that emphasise the key attribute of metabolic dysfunction in the pathogenesis, and acknowledges that the disease is a continuum across the life span.

The present study was conducted to 1) examine self-reported food intolerances and dietary supplement use 2) assess nutritional intake 3) assess the nutritional status and screen for malnutrition among patients with chronic inflammatory bowel disease (CIBD).
Methods: 48 patients with CIBDs (28 Crohn's disease, 15 ulcerative colitis and 7 with atypical forms of IBD) took part in this cross-sectional study.
Article Synopsis
- Chronic liver diseases, particularly dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), are a significant public health issue worldwide, prompting this study focused on the Lebanese population.
- The research involved 120 participants aged 20-70 and revealed strong links between MASLD and factors like obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and dietary habits, highlighting a trend of higher sugary beverage consumption among affected individuals.
- The findings emphasized the importance of understanding health behaviors and dietary patterns in relation to liver diseases, suggesting that further research should explore these issues in more diverse populations.
: Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten, that occurs in susceptible individuals and is associated with dietary restriction and subsequent nutritional deficiencies. This study investigated the diet quality, nutrition imbalances and nutrition status among young children,adolescents and adults with CD who were referred to several hospitals in Lebanon. A cross-sectional study in 50 individuals (31.

The aims of this study were to assess the feasibility of ESD in France and to evaluate the complete resection rate at 1 year.
Patients And Methods: Patients with superficial rectal tumors ≥ 10 mm in size were prospectively included in the study at nine French expert centers between February 2010 and June 2012.
