The dynamic effects of nutritional status on chemotherapy-related toxicity in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Background/objectives: Understanding the dynamic changes in nutritional status of patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) during chemotherapy is crucial, as it significantly impacts chemotherapy-related toxicity and survival outcomes.

Subjects/methods: This multi-center study included newly diagnosed NHL patients. Nutritional status and chemotherapy-related toxic effects were assessed over the first five chemotherapy sessions, with follow-ups conducted every 3 months.

Relationship between Serum Ferritin Level and Dyslipidemia in US Adults Based on Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys 2017 to 2020.

Previous research has suggested that high serum ferritin (SF) levels may be associated with dyslipidemia. This study investigated the association between SF levels and dyslipidemia in American adults, which held relevance for both clinical and public health areas concerned with screening and prevention. Data from the pre-pandemic National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES), conducted between 2017 and 2020, were utilized for this analysis.

Late-Pregnancy Dysglycemia After Negative Testing for Gestational Diabetes and Risk of the Large-for-Gestational-Age Newborns: A Nest Case-Control Study Based on the Xi'an Longitudinal Mother-Child Cohort Study.

Background: The implications of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) on the short- and long-term health outcomes of both mother and child have been extensively studied. However, studies related to negative Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) results in the second trimester but dysglycemia in late pregnancy on maternal and infant pregnancy outcomes are rare.

Methods: We conducted a nest case-control study within the Xi'an Longitudinal Mother-Child Cohort study (XAMC) to investigate the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes in mothers and children with maternal negative mid-pregnancy OGTT results but high glycated hemoglobin (HbA) levels (≥5.

Dietary Vitamin C Intake Is Associated With Improved Liver Function and Glucose Metabolism in Chinese Adults.

Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most prevalent chronic liver diseases worldwide. Dietary vitamin C intake might play an important role in reducing the risk of NAFLD. This study assesses the relationship between dietary vitamin C intake and diagnostic biomarkers of NAFLD.

Numbers and Mortality Risk of Hypertensive Patients with or without Elevated Body Mass Index in China.

Our study aimed to estimate the number of hypertension patients with or without elevated body mass index (BMI), and assess their mortality risk. We used data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) to estimate the population of hypertensive patients with or without elevated BMI. The mortality risk of hypertension with elevated BMI was estimated by using the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) data.

Prevalence and Determinants of Anemia among Children in Zanzibar, Tanzania: Analysis of Cross-Sectional Population Representative Surveys.

The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of anemia and its determinants among children aged 6-59 months in Zanzibar, Tanzania, from 2005 to 2015. We used secondary data from the Tanzania Demographic and Health Surveys from three different periods: 2005, 2010, and 2015. A sample of 3502 child-mother pairs from three survey datasets was used to analyze the overall prevalence of anemia and reveal its determinants.

Effects of Oral Vitamin C Supplementation on Liver Health and Associated Parameters in Patients With Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is now recognized as the most prevalent hepatic disorder worldwide, and an unhealthy lifestyle is the leading risk factor for its occurrence. Vitamin C (VC) has been suggested to protect NAFLD, whereas evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) is sparse. In this study, we aimed to investigate the potential benefits of VC supplementation daily on liver health and associated parameters in patients with NAFLD.

EKC Test of the Relationship between Nitrogen Dioxide Pollution and Economic Growth-A Spatial Econometric Analysis Based on Chinese City Data.

During the just concluded 13th Five-Year Plan, China continued to maintain the momentum of rapid economic development, but still faced environmental pollution problems caused by this. Finding the relationship between Nitrogen Dioxide pollution and economic development is helpful and significant in better achieving and optimizing sustainable environmental development. Taking China's 333 prefecture-level cities as samples from 2016 to 2018, the spatial lag model (SAR) was used to study the impact of economic growth on urban Nitrogen Dioxide pollution.
