Article Synopsis
- - This study explores how a mother's diet while nursing affects inflammation and oxidative stress in their baby rats, particularly those whose mothers were obese from a high-fat diet.
- - Offspring from mothers who switched to a healthier diet during lactation showed better metabolic health, including lower body weight and inflammation markers.
- - Leptin supplementation during the suckling period improved metabolic indicators, with differing effects based on the mother's diet and the offspring's sex, highlighting the potential for dietary strategies to reduce the negative impacts of maternal obesity.
Background And Objective: Medical thoracoscopy (MT) is an endoscopic technique performed by interventional pulmonologists with a favorable safety profile and few contraindications, providing diagnostic and therapeutic intervention in a single sitting. This narrative review was designed to summarize the therapeutic role of MT based on the latest results from the available literature.
Methods: Pertinent literature published in English, relative to human studies, between 2010-2022 was searched in Medline/PubMed and Cochrane databases.
This study aims to investigate the potential mechanisms underlying the protective effects of myo-inositol (MI) supplementation during suckling against the detrimental effects of fetal energy restriction described in animal studies, particularly focusing on the potential connections with BDNF signaling. Oral physiological doses of MI or the vehicle were given daily to the offspring of control (CON) and 25%-calorie-restricted (CR) pregnant rats during suckling. The animals were weaned and then fed a standard diet until 5 months of age, when the diet was switched to a Western diet until 7 months of age.

This study presents an in-depth evaluation of calcium carbide residue and coal fly ash as alternative binders. The assessment of raw materials emphasized their chemical composition and potential for pozzolanic reactions.

- The INTEGRActiv study aims to identify new biomarkers that link physical activity (PA) to health outcomes specifically in children and adolescents, addressing the need for personalized health interventions.
- The research involves two phases: the first involves analyzing a core group of 180 volunteers divided by age and weight status using various physical and molecular measures to identify potential biomarkers.
- In the second phase, a subgroup of 60 participants will undergo an educational intervention to validate the biomarkers discovered, furthering the understanding of how PA affects health in youths.
