40 patients with infectious hepatitis, 25 with chronic aggressive hepatitis, 25 with compensated liver cirrhosis, and 10 with decompensated liver cirrhosis were submitted to examination. The following abnormalities depending upon the stage and severity of hepatic diseases were found: a) disturbances of total lipids, cholesterol, phospholipids, beta-lipoproteids, glycerin, glycerides and neutral fats concentrations; b) marked disorders of glucose tolerance as indicated by the difference between plasma and erythrocyte glucose levels increasing in proportion to the degree of liver damage; c) a fall in plasma and erythrocyte magnesium reflecting the degree of hepatic parenchyma damage; d) a decrease of the albumin/gamma-globulin ratio in proportion to the degree of the impairment of hepatic cells. The presented fat, carbohydrate, magnesium and protein balance indices yield better criterions for the differential diagnostics of hepatic diseases than the routine investigations, and they also make possible objective prognosis.

The Effect of Daily Avocado Intake on Food and Nutrient Displacement in a Free-Living Population with Abdominal Obesity.
Curr Dev Nutr
October 2024
Center for Nutrition, Healthy Lifestyle and Disease Prevention, Loma Linda University School of Public Health, Loma Linda, CA, United States.
Background: Avocado intake has been associated with improvements in diet quality. Whether this response is because of avocado intake, , or combined with a food and/or nutrient displacement (D) has yet to be determined.
Objectives: This secondary analysis, conducted using dietary data from the Habitual Diet and Avocado Trial, sought to assess the effect of consuming a large avocado (168 g, 281 kcal) daily in the avocado-supplemented diet (AD) group compared with the habitual diet (HD) group on food and nutrient D.
Nutrient Profiling Models in Low- and Middle-Income Countries Considering Local Nutritional Challenges: A Systematic Review.
Curr Dev Nutr
January 2025
Division of Human Nutrition and Health, Wageningen University & Research, Wageningen, The Netherlands.
Micronutrient deficiencies, undernutrition, and overweight/obesity are prevalent in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Nutrient profiling models (NPMs), initially developed to help reduce the prevalence of diet-related chronic diseases in Western countries, could be one solution to promote nutrient-dense foods in LMICs. This study reviewed government-endorsed NPMs implemented in LMICs and assessed their key components in relation to country-specific nutritional challenges.

Curr Nutr Rep
January 2025
Department of Vascular Surgery, Mount Sinai Hospital, 1468 Madison Ave, New York, NY, 10029, USA.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: A Ketogenic diet (KD; a diet comprised of 75% fat, 20% protein and 5% carbohydrates) has gained much popularity in recent years, especially regarding neurogliomas (or "gliomas"). This review critically assesses literature on the application of KD throughout the cancer continuum from a Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) perspective. RECENT FINDINGS: 2021 revised classification standards for Central Nervous System (CNS) tumors are available.

January 2025
Department of Food Physics, Research Institute of Food Science and Technology (RIFST), Mashhad, Iran. Electronic address:
Gums are commonly used in the food industry for their functional properties. However, the growing demand for sustainable and alternative sources has drawn attention to the need for identifying and characterizing non-conventional gum sources with comparable or enhanced features. This study aimed to investigate the exudate gum from apricot trees (Prunus armeniaca) in Malatya as a potential alternative.

J Med Internet Res
January 2025
International Institute for Integrative Sleep Medicine (WPI-IIIS), University of Tsukuba, Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan.
Background: Few studies have explored the relationship between macronutrient intake and sleep outcomes using daily data from mobile apps.
Objective: This cross-sectional study aimed to examine the associations between macronutrients, dietary components, and sleep parameters, considering their interdependencies.
Methods: We analyzed data from 4825 users of the Pokémon Sleep and Asken smartphone apps, each used for at least 7 days to record objective sleep parameters and dietary components, respectively.
