Background And Aims: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent chronic psychiatric condition in children world wide. This study was aimed to provide an overview of food groups and dietary patterns in ADHD children as a systematic review.
Methods: The relation between dietary patterns and this disorder was also investigated through meta-analysis. Databases including Google Scholar, SCOPUS, ISI Web of science, and PubMed were searched up to June 2017. Studies on posteriori derived dietary patterns and food intakes of ADHD children were included. The achieved Relative Risks (RR) and Odds Ratio (OR) were pooled together for ADHD to compare the most and the least adherence to major dietary patterns. The heterogeneity was assessed by Cochran's Q test and I-squared methods.
Results: This systematic review consisted of 6 dietary patterns and 6 foods or macronutrients studies. In this regard, 6 dietary patterns studies (n: 8816) were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled analysis established that "healthy" dietary pattern significantly decreased the risk of ADHD (OR: 0·63; 95% CI: 0·41, 0·96), whereas "Western" (OR: 1.92; 95% CI: 1.13, 3.26; p:0.016) and "junk food" (OR: 1.51; 95% CI: 1.06, 2.16; p: 0.024) dietary patterns increased it.
Conclusions: "Healthy" dietary pattern highly loaded with vegetables, fruits, legumes, and fish has decreased the odds of ADHD up to 37%. In addition, adherence to "junk food" pattern containing sweetened beverages and desserts as well as "Western" dietary pattern including red meat, refined grains, processed meats, and hydrogenated fat increased it.

Conformation and binding of 12 Microcystin (MC) congeners to PPP1 using molecular dynamics simulations: a potential approach in support of an improved MC risk assessment.

Microcystins (MCs) occur frequently during cyanobacterial blooms worldwide, representing a group of currently about 300 known MC congeners, which are structurally highly similar. Human exposure to MCs via contaminated water, food or dietary supplements can lead to severe intoxications with ensuing high morbidity and in some cases mortality. Currently, one MC congener (MC-LR) is almost exclusively considered for risk assessment (RA) by the WHO.

Background: The impact of direct and indirect drivers on linear growth and wasting in young children is of public health interest. While the contributions of poverty, maternal education, empowerment and birth weight to early childhood growth are well recognized, the contribution of environmental factors like heat, precipitation, agriculture outputs and food security in comparable datasets is less well established.
Objectives: To investigate the association of length-for-age z-score (LAZ) and weight-for-length z-score (WLZ) with various indicators among children under 2 years of age in Pakistan using representative household level nutrition surveys and ecological datasets.
Metacognitive function in young adults is impacted by physical activity, diet, and sleep patterns.
PLoS One

Psychology, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Our cognitive capacities like working memory and attention are known to systematically vary over time with our physical activity levels, dietary choices, and sleep patterns. However, whether our metacognitive capacities--such as our strategic use and optimization of cognitive resources--show a similar relationship with these key lifestyle factors remains unknown. Here we addressed this question in healthy young adults by examining if physical activity, diet, and sleep patterns were predictive of self-reported metacognitive status.

Background: Diet has been associated with memory, emotion/stress regulation, structure and function of the hippocampus and amygdala and attenuation of cognitive aging. There is a well‐recognized lack of reliability in self‐reported dietary intake and great interest in objective metabolic readout of dietary patterns. In this study we constructed dietary profiles from untargeted metabolomics data using a novel metadata‐based source annotation method developed at the Dorrestein Lab, also referred to as “foodomics”.

Background: Diet composition is associated with neurodegenerative disease risk including Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). The adverse effects of Western‐style diets may be moderated, in part, by systemic as well as central inflammation, whereas the neuroprotective effects of Mediterranean diets may work through mechanisms that promote anti‐inflammatory phenotypes. Systemic inflammation also may induce insulin resistance, another risk factor for AD.
