Article Synopsis
  • Patatin-like phospholipase-A (pPLA) enzymes are found in both animals and plants, with plant pPLAs linked to the storage protein patatin from potatoes, but their functions in plants are not well understood compared to those in animals.* -
  • Recent research has begun to unravel the roles of pPLAs in plants, focusing on their structural features and biochemical activities, particularly in lipid metabolism and accumulation of materials like lignin and cellulose.* -
  • The review highlights the significance of pPLAs in important plant processes, including stress responses, interactions with pathogens, and overall plant development, which could aid in improving crop biotechnology.*

Introduction: Preventing chronic diseases among children and adolescents requires a comprehensive approach. The Nutri-Score, a front-of-pack nutrition labeling system, may play an important role in public health by enhancing overall nutritional quality of dietary intake, a key modifiable risk factor. The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of the 2015 and 2023 NS-NPM to discriminate food consumption and nutrient intake in a population of French children and adolescents.

Article Synopsis
  • - CBD is emerging as a beneficial treatment for children with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE), particularly for conditions like Dravet syndrome, Lennox Gastaut syndrome, and Tuberous sclerosis complex, with regulatory approval in multiple countries.
  • - Clinical trials indicate that CBD can reduce seizure frequency and improve the quality of life for affected children, with a generally favorable safety profile, though minor side effects like sleepiness and diarrhea may occur.
  • - Accessibility and cost remain significant issues, especially in lower-income regions such as India, prompting a discussion on the opportunities and hurdles of integrating CBD into clinical practice while navigating the evolving regulatory environment.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on improving the dietary guidelines for children and adolescents in Germany by applying the Planetary Health Diet Index (PHDI) to the Optimized Mixed Diet (OMD).
  • The original OMD scored 68.24 points on the PHDI, highlighting strengths in fruits, vegetables, and fish while lacking in tubers, dairy, and red meat.
  • After modifying the diet to include more nuts, legumes, and whole grains, the PHDI score improved to 81.51 points, indicating a significant increase in sustainability and nutrient density.

PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome (PHTS), DICER1-related tumor predisposition (DICER1) and tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) are rare conditions which each increase risk for distinct spectra of benign and malignant neoplasms throughout childhood and adulthood. Surveillance considerations for each of these conditions focus on patient and family education, early detection and multidisciplinary care. In this manuscript, we present updated surveillance recommendations and considerations for children and adolescents with PHTS, DICER1 and TSC and provide suggestions for further research in each of these conditions.
