There is scarce evidence on sociodemographic and lifestyle characteristics that may explain adherence to different dietary patterns (DPs) during pregnancy. Our aims were to identify dietary patterns in a sample of pregnant Mexican women and to describe their association with selected sociodemographic and lifestyle characteristics. This is a secondary cross-sectional analysis of 252 mothers of children that participated as controls in a hospital-based case-control study of childhood leukemia.

- Epidemiological studies on acute leukemia (AL) risk factors in infants are limited, but maternal diet during pregnancy may play a crucial role in influencing the occurrence of AL in offspring.
- A case-control study conducted in Mexico City from 2010 to 2019 analyzed maternal dietary habits in 109 infants with AL compared to 252 matched controls, using food frequency questionnaires.
- Results indicated that higher consumption of allium vegetables was linked to a reduced risk of AL, while high-fat dairy products were associated with an increased risk, highlighting the potential impact of maternal nutrition on infant health.
Article Synopsis
- Childhood cancer, especially acute leukemia, is the leading cause of disease-related deaths in children aged 5-14 in Mexico, highlighting the need for understanding dietary influences during pregnancy.
- A hospital-based study compared dietary habits of mothers of 109 infants with acute leukemia to those of 152 healthy controls, showing that overall maternal dietary patterns can significantly impact infant health.
- The findings indicate that a "Balanced & Vegetable-Rich" diet during pregnancy is associated with a lower risk of acute leukemia in infants, particularly for mothers of girls, emphasizing the role of maternal nutrition in disease prevention.
Introduction: Maternal dietary consumption during pregnancy has been inconclusively associated with acute leukemia (AL) in infants, probably because epidemiological evidence has emerged mainly from the analysis of one-by-one nutrient, which is not a real-life scenario. Our objective was to evaluate the association between AL in Mexican children under 2 years of age and their mothers' nutrients concomitant intake during pregnancy, as well as to explore whether there are differences between girls and boys.
Methods: We conducted a study of 110 cases of AL and 252 hospital-based controls in the Mexico City Metropolitan area from 2010 to 2019.
Prokaryotic population dynamics and interactions in an AnSBBR using tequila vinasses as substrate in co-digestion with acid hydrolysates of Agave tequilana var. azul bagasse for hydrogen production.

Aims: The purpose of this study was to characterize the prokaryotic community and putative microbial interactions between H -producing bacteria (HPB) and non-HPB using two anaerobic sequencing batch biofilm reactors (AnSBBRs) fed with tequila vinasses in co-digestion with acid hydrolysates of Agave tequilana var. azul bagasse (ATAB).
Methods And Results: Two AnSBBRs were operated for H production to correlate changes in physicochemical and biological variables by principal component analysis (PCA).
Hyperekplexia or Stiff Baby Syndrome is an uncommon disorder of non-epileptic movements with an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. Neonates present exaggerated startle response to sensory stimuli and temporary muscular rigidity. We report two neonates from the northern center of Puerto Rico who presented involuntary movements, hypertonia and apnea during first days of life, being treated with anticonvulsants without improvement.
