spp. Berries in the Prevention and Treatment of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: A Comprehensive Update of Preclinical and Clinical Research.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common chronic liver disorder marked by the buildup of triacylglycerols (TGs) in the liver. It includes a range of conditions, from simple steatosis to more severe forms like non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which can advance to fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. NAFLD's prevalence is rising globally, estimated between 10% and 50%.

Nutrition in Gilbert's Syndrome-A Systematic Review of Clinical Trials According to the PRISMA Statement.

Gilbert syndrome is the most common hyperbilirubinemia, associated with a mutation in the UGT1A1 bilirubin gene, which produces an enzyme that conjugates bilirubin with glucuronic acid. Episodes of jaundice occurring in GS negatively affect patients' quality of life. This systematic review aimed to analyze clinical studies regarding nutrition in people with GS.

Citric Acid: Properties, Microbial Production, and Applications in Industries.

Citric acid finds broad applications in various industrial sectors, such as the pharmaceutical, food, chemical, and cosmetic industries. The bioproduction of citric acid uses various microorganisms, but the most commonly employed ones are filamentous fungi such as and yeast . This article presents a literature review on the properties of citric acid, the microorganisms and substrates used, different fermentation techniques, its industrial utilization, and the global citric acid market.

Optimization of Medium Constituents for the Production of Citric Acid from Waste Glycerol Using the Central Composite Rotatable Design of Experiments.

Citric acid is currently produced by submerged fermentation of sucrose with the aid of mold. Its strains are characterized by a high yield of citric acid biosynthesis and no toxic by-products. Currently, new substrates are sought for production of citric acid by submerged fermentation.

[Malformations of urinary system in our series of children--treatment approaches].

The purpose of the study was to analyze treatment approaches in children with malformations of urinary system. The retrospective study comprised 557 children (196 boys and 361 girls) aged 1-18 years with malformations of urinary system hospitalized in 2000-2007 in the Department of Pediatric Nephrology, University Children's Hospital, Lublin. Primary and secondary vesicoureteral reflux (269 children), ureteral obstruction (102 children), urethral obstruction (91 children) and renal duplication (83 children) were the most common malformations observed.

[Coexistence of nephrocalcinosis and renal failure in children--own experiences].

Unlabelled: Nephrocalcinosis (NC) is defined by increased calcium content of the kidney. To be identified radiologically it must be substantially gross accumulation of calcium within renal tissue. The incidence of NC in children is very low.

[Severe hypercalcemia as a complication of intensive treatment for osteoporosis due to steroid therpay in 17-year-old girl with the nephrotic syndrome].

In the article, 17-year-old girl with iatrogenic severe hipercalcemia was presented. The girl was treated since the age of 12 years for steroid-sensitive minimal change disease. Due to steroid therapy osteoporosis developed and intensive treatment with active form of vitamin D and high doses of calcium was started.
