The amount of selenium in soil environment significantly influences the selenium nutrition of plants. In this paper, the absorption, accumulation and translocation of Se in plants was discussed, and the toxicity of selenium and its effect on crop yield and quality was summarized. The advances in related researches were also introduced. On the basis of these, a new approach on the effect of selenium on soil enzyme activities to elaborate the essentiality of selenium for plants was proposed.

Background: This study utilizes transformer-based machine learning models and explainable AI (XAI) techniques to investigate the complex relationship between various nutritional factors and AD mortality. Drawing data from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III 1988 to 1994) and the NHANES III Mortality-Linked File (2019), it aims to dissect the multifaceted interactions between nutrition and AD.
Method: The study employs advanced transformer models alongside traditional machine learning methods like random forests and support vector machines.

Background: Poor dietary quality has been described as a contributor to symptoms in subjects with functional gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms. Hitherto, the focus in dietary evaluation and treatment in this patient group has mainly been on avoiding individual nutrient deficiencies, and less attention has been given to the dietary pattern and the overall food quality. Hence, we aim to describe and evaluate the dietary quality in patients with functional GI symptoms.

Previous studies on the correlation between serum selenium and hypertension have yielded inconsistent results. Our previous analysis of participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011-2018 indicated that elevated serum selenium concentrations were associated with an increased risk of metabolic abnormalities in obese individuals, with the primary effect being on blood pressure in males. The aim of this study was to further elucidate the relationship between serum selenium and the risk of hypertension in obese males.

Fish oil supplements for dogs are used therapeutically for various clinical conditions. However, products may be variable in quality, potency, and stability. The objective of this study was to analyze eleven canine fish oil supplements from two time points (2010 and 2021) for the omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) arochlors, minerals, and vitamins A and D, and to compare their compositions to label claims.
