Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a chronic health problem whose prevalence is increasing. Nutrition and nutrition-related factors, one of the modifiable risk factors for CKD, are of primary importance. The key to planning optimal nutritional therapy is accurately determining energy requirements and total energy expenditure.

Micronutrient malnutrition is one of the most serious health challenges facing vast sectors of Africa's population particularly resource-poor women and children. Main deficiencies include iron, zinc and vitamin A. Plant breeding has frequently been advocated as the most sustainable strategy of providing varieties of different food crop species with enhanced micronutrient density to combat the global hidden hunger problem which affects more than 2 billion people.

Objective: Mutations in the thyroid hormone (TH) transporter monocarboxylate transporter 8 (MCT8) cause Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome (AHDS), a severe form of psychomotor retardation with muscle hypoplasia and spastic paraplegia as key symptoms. These abnormalities have been attributed to an impaired TH transport across brain barriers and into neural cells thereby affecting brain development and function. Likewise, Mct8/Oatp1c1 (organic anion transporting polypeptide 1c1) double knockout (M/Odko) mice, a well-established murine AHDS model, display a strongly reduced TH passage into the brain as well as locomotor abnormalities.

Background: Previous studies on the prevalence and prognosis of nutritional status in valvular heart disease (VHD) were primarily limited to aortic stenosis. The nutritional status of other types of VHDs remained an underexplored area.
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of malnutrition risk in different types of VHD and investigate the association between malnutrition risk and adverse clinical events.
