Low serum adrenic acid levels in infants and subsequent food-induced anaphylaxis.

Background: The dietary fat hypothesis links increases in allergic diseases to reduced consumption of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids from fish, for example, eicosapentaenoic acid, and increased intake of n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids from vegetable oils, for example, arachidonic acid.

Objective: Building upon the "fat hypothesis," we sought to investigate the association between 24 types of serum fatty acid levels in infants and the risk of subsequent food-induced anaphylaxis (FIA) by age 2 years as the primary outcome.

Methods: This study was conducted as a prespecified supplemental analysis within the ABC randomized clinical trial.

Association between serum magnesium levels and cognitive function in patients undergoing hemodialysis.

Background: The relationship between chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) and cognitive function remains largely unknown. This cross-sectional study aimed to explore the association between CKD-MBD and cognitive function in patients on hemodialysis.

Methods: Hemodialysis patients aged ≥ 65 years without diagnosed dementia were included.

Vertical gradient of needle ozone uptake within the canopy of Cryptomeria japonica.

Leaf ozone uptake through the stomata is an important index for the ozone risk assessments on trees. Stomatal conductance (g) and ozone concentration ([O]), determinants of the leaf ozone uptake, are known to show vertical gradients within a tree canopy. However, less is known about the within-canopy vertical gradient of leaf ozone uptake.

Interaction of Vitamin D Supplements and Marine -3 Fatty Acids on Digestive Tract Cancer Prognosis.

A meta-analysis suggested that marine -3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), e.g., eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), might reduce cancer mortality.
