Neurodevelopmental disorders are seen quite commonly by general pediatricians. They should be managed with a multi-professional approach. The potential beneficial effect of poly-unsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) has been reported in recent literature, but guidelines describing their use in everyday practice are still lacking. We describe four cases as examples of the possible integration of a supplementation with PUFAs in the management of four relatively common clinical situations (i.e., children too young to receive pharmacological treatment for ADHD, children with nonspecific neurodevelopmental disorders, children whose parents refuse consent for pharmacological treatment of ADHD, and children for whom methylphenidate is not sufficient to achieve expected results).

Lipoxygenases (LOXs): Will turning off this genetic switch help safeguard the flavor and nutritional quality of stored lipid-rich staple foods?
Food Chem

Division of Genetics, ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, India.
Beyond storage capacity, long-term grain storage faces significant challenges due to the activity of lipoxygenases (LOXs). These enzymes catalyze the production of volatiles from free fatty acids, leading to stale odors and off-flavors. These changes degrade the quality of stored grains, even under regulated conditions, affecting the profitability of stored products to the farmers and the assurance of high-quality food for consumers.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to examine the relationship between dietary fat quality indices (FQI) and the risk of pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in Iranian adults using a food frequency questionnaire.
- The analysis included 2042 pre-diabetes-free participants and 2295 T2DM-free participants, assessing factors like age and gender, with initial findings indicating a positive association between the PUFA/SFA ratio and T2DM incidence.
- Ultimately, after adjusting for various factors, the study concluded there were no significant links between dietary fat quality and the risk of pre-diabetes and T2DM, emphasizing the need for more research in this area.
Estimation of fatty acid composition in mammary adipose tissue using deep neural network with unsupervised training.

Department of Radiology, Weill Cornell Medical College, New York, New York, USA.
Purpose: To develop a deep learning-based method for robust and rapid estimation of the fatty acid composition (FAC) in mammary adipose tissue.
Methods: A physics-based unsupervised deep learning network for estimation of fatty acid composition-network (FAC-Net) is proposed to estimate the number of double bonds and number of methylene-interrupted double bonds from multi-echo bipolar gradient-echo data, which are subsequently converted to saturated, mono-unsaturated, and poly-unsaturated fatty acids. The loss function was based on a 10 fat peak signal model.
Disrupted balance between pro-inflammatory lipid mediators and anti-inflammatory specialized pro-resolving mediators is linked to hyperinflammation in patients with alcoholic hepatitis.

Background: Alcoholic hepatitis (AH) is characterized by intense systemic and liver inflammation, posing significant risks of health complications and mortality. While inflammation is a crucial defense mechanism against injury and infection, its timely resolution is essential to prevent tissue damage and restore tissue homeostasis. The resolution of inflammation is primarily governed by specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs), lipid metabolites derived from w-6 and w-3 poly-unsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs).

The polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), particularly eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), are critical determinants of the nutritional quality of fish. To rapidly and non-destructively determine the muscular PUFAs in living fish, an accuracy technique is urgently needed. In this study, we combined skin hyperspectral imaging (HSI) and machine learning (ML) methods to assess the muscular PUFAs contents of common carp.
