Dietitians: experts about food systems?

J Am Diet Assoc

Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, Viterbo College, La Crosse, WI, USA.

Published: October 1997

Dietary advice that promotes optimal nutrition presupposes adequate land for growing food, environmental quality conducive to food production, stable government, a strong economy, and community food security (or a reliable transportation system). Without these conditions, recommendations for optimal nutrition become moot. Our profession will be strengthened as we develop a broad knowledge of our entire food system.

Sex-specific DNA methylation marks associated with sex-biased risk of recurrence in unprovoked venous thromboembolism.

J Thromb Haemost

January 2025

Dalla Lana School of Public Health, University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada; Office of the Vice-Principal of Research and Innovation, University of Toronto Mississauga, Mississauga, Canada. Electronic address:

Background: Whether to stop oral anticoagulants after a first unprovoked venous thromboembolism (VTE) is challenging, partially due to an intriguingly higher risk of VTE recurrence (rVTE) in men after therapy discontinuation. DNA methylation (DNAm) differences between men and women might underly this sex-biased rVTE risk difference.

Aim: To investigate sex-specific associations between DNAm at cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) sites and rVTE.

Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease and the Cardiovascular System.

Trends Cardiovasc Med

January 2025

Department of Cardiology, Euroclinic Hospital, Athens, Greece; First Department of Cardiology, Athens University School of Medicine, Athens, Greece. Electronic address:

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), previously termed nonalcoholic fatty-liver disease, is an important and rising health issue with a link with atherosclerotic cardiovascular (CV) disease (CVD), affecting ∼25-30% of the adults in the general population; in patients with diabetes, its prevalence culminates to ∼70%; its evolutive form, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, is estimated to be the main cause of liver transplantation in the future. MASLD is a multisystem disease that affects, besides the liver, extra-hepatic organs and regulatory pathways; it raises the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), CVD, and chronic kidney disease; the disease may also progress to hepatocellular carcinoma. Its diagnosis requires hepatic steatosis and at least one cardiometabolic risk factor and the exclusion of both significant alcohol consumption and other competing causes of chronic liver disease.

Objective: Nutritional and immune status have been recognized as important factors influencing the prognosis of acute ischemic stroke. This study aims to evaluate the prognostic value of the Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) in predicting 30-day mortality in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital emergency department.

Free fatty acids (FFAs) are important energy sources and significant for energy transport in the body. They also play a crucial role in cellular oxidative stress responses, following cell membrane depolarization, making accurate quantification of FFAs essential. This study presents a novel supercritical fluid chromatography-mass spectrometry (SFC-MS) method using selected ion recording in negative electrospray ionization mode, enabling rapid quantification of 31 FFAs within 6 min without derivatization.
