Diet quality in patients with treatment-resistant schizophrenia: time for improving nutritional recommendations.

Background: Treatment-resistant schizophrenia (TRS) is a severe psychiatric disorder that is associated with a high level of psychotic symptoms and cognitive deficit as well as poor functioning, and an increased risk of mortality for cardiometabolic diseases. Some studies suggest that lifestyle, particularly diet, could represent a risk factor for obesity and its metabolic complications in these patients.

Methods: This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate diet quality and eating habits in individuals with TRS.

1,25‑Dihydroxyvitamin D3 mitigates the adipogenesis induced by bisphenol A in 3T3-L1 and hAMSC through miR-27-3p regulation.

Purpose: Endocrine-disrupting compounds, including bisphenol A (BPA), may promote obesity influencing basal metabolic rate and shifting metabolism towards energy storage. The role of 1,25‑Dihydroxyvitamin D3 (VitD) in counteracting adipogenesis is still a matter of debate. Thus, the current study aims to investigate whether and how VitD exposure during adipogenesis could prevent the pro-adipogenic effect of BPA in two adipocyte models, mouse 3T3-L1 cell line and human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSC).

"Planeterranean" diet: the new proposal for the Mediterranean-based food pyramid for Asia.

Background And Objectives: The Mediterranean Diet (MD) has been recognized for its benefits for human health and sustainability for the planet, but it has considered not easy to reproduce in other populations. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Chair on Health Education and Sustainable Development is fostering a research project (Planeterranea), aiming to identify a healthy dietary pattern based on local foods with the same MD features. The aim of our study is to develop a MD-based food pyramid for Asian populations.

Risk Assessment of Diabetes Mellitus During and After Pregnancy in Women With Prolactinomas.

Context: Prolactin (PRL) is a crucial mediator of glucoinsulinemic metabolism.

Objective: This work aims to dissect glucose metabolism during and after pregnancy in patients with prolactinomas.

Methods: A total of 52 patients treated with cabergoline (CAB) were evaluated before conception, during pregnancy, and up to 10 years after delivery.

16p11.2 Microduplication Syndrome with Increased Fluid in the Cisterna: Coincidence or Phenotype Extension?

We report the first case of a child with 16p11.2 microduplication syndrome with increased fluid in the cisterna magna seen on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This finding may correspond to a Blake's Pouch Cyst (BPC) or a Mega Cisterna Magna (MCM), being impossible to differentiate through image examination.
