Background: Celiac disease is a chronic autoimmune condition requiring lifelong adherence to a gluten-free diet, particularly in children, to prevent nutritional deficiencies and developmental delays.
Objective: The objective of study was to evaluate the effects of early nutritional intervention on the management and health outcomes of children diagnosed with celiac disease.
Methodology: A prospective, longitudinal cohort study was conducted over two years (July 2019-July 2021). A customized gluten-free meal plan and any necessary dietary supplements were given to the participants. Baseline evaluations and six-monthly follow-ups were used to gather data on growth, nutritional status, and dietary compliance. SPSS was used for the statistical analysis, and a significance threshold of p<0.05 was established.
Results: Significant improvements were observed in growth metrics, with mean height increasing from 145.67 cm to 157.48 cm and weight from 36.29 kg to 46.24 kg over 24 months (p < 0.001). Nutritional status also improved, with serum iron levels rising from 45.19 µg/dL to 76.89 µg/dL and vitamin D from 20.14 ng/mL to 44.22 ng/mL (p < 0.001). Dietary adherence increased from 84.37% to 94.62%.
Conclusion: Growth and nutritional results in children with celiac disease are greatly improved with nutritional intervention.

Early root traits, particularly total root length, are heritable and show positive genetic correlations with biomass yield in perennial ryegrass; incorporating them into breeding programs can enhance genetic gain. Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) is an important forage grass widely used in pastures and lawns, valued for its high nutritive value and environmental benefits.

Milk is a multifaceted biofluid that is essential for infant nutrition and development, yet its cellular and bioactive components, particularly maternal milk cells, remain understudied. Early research on milk cells indicated that they cross the infant's intestinal barrier and accumulate within systemic organs. However, due to the absence of modern analytical techniques, these studies were limited in scope and mechanistic analysis.

This study aimed to develop and validate a nomogram based on lymphocyte subtyping and clinical factors for the early and rapid prediction of Intra-abdominal candidiasis (IAC) in septic patients. A prospective cohort study of 633 consecutive patients diagnosed with sepsis and intra-abdominal infection (IAI) was performed. We assessed the clinical characteristics and lymphocyte subsets at the onset of IAI.
