Acute pancreatitis (AP) remains among the most common gastrointestinal disorders leading to hospital admission. Optimizing nutritional support and maintaining gut function is instrumental in recovery of patients with AP. Enteral nutrition remains one of the only interventions with demonstrated mortality benefit in AP largely through preservation of gut function, serving to preserve the gut barrier as means to mitigate immune dysregulation and systemic inflammation inherent to AP. Practice variation remains in timing, route, and composition of nutritional support. This review highlights contemporary evidence regarding optimal nutritional support in AP and provides recommendations for management in line with current consensus opinions.

Background: Human immunodeficiency virus continues to be a major global public health issue. Body mass index is a general indicator of nutritional status and has emerged as a powerful predictor of morbidity and mortality among adult PLHIV initiating antiretroviral therapy in resource-limited settings. However, there is a dearth of information regarding longitudinal changes in body mass index and its predictors among adult PLHIV in Ethiopia, particularly in the study area.

Background: Recent studies suggest a link between dietary fat quality and obesity. Genetic risk scores (GRS) can predict obesity risk based on genetic factors. This study investigates how GRS and fatty acid quality affect visceral adiposity index (VAI) and body adiposity index (BAI) in overweight and obese women.

Milk is a nutrient-rich liquid produced by mammals, offering various health benefits due to its composition of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. Beyond traditional nutritional aspects, recent research has focused on extracellular vesicles (EVs) found in milk and their potential health benefits, especially for gastrointestinal (GI) health. Milk-derived EVs have been shown to influence gut microbiota, promote gut barrier integrity, support tissue repair and regeneration, modulate immune responses, and potentially aid in managing conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and colorectal cancer.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the textural characteristics of foods preferred by elderly Chinese individuals and their suitability based on the International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative (IDDSI) framework. The goal was to provide objective data to support the development of safe and nutritious diets tailored to the swallowing abilities of the elderly.
Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted, using web-scraping technology to identify 26 commonly preferred food ingredients among elderly individuals across seven regions of China.

Article Synopsis
- Food is a multisensory experience, relying on visuals, taste, smell, and, surprisingly, texture to assess nutritional value and safety.
- Despite being overlooked, texture offers crucial information about food's physical properties, like hardness and liquidity.
- Recent findings show that some sensory neurons are not limited to specific stimuli; instead, they can respond broadly, indicating greater sensory complexity than previously thought.
