Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) are important for brain development and function, maybe especially during adolescence. Observational studies have demonstrated an association between fish consumption (a source of LCPUFA) and cognition in adolescents, but intervention trials are lacking. The goal of the current study was to investigate the effect of one year of krill oil (a source of LCPUFA) supplementation on the cognitive performance of adolescents with a low Omega-3 Index (O3I ≤ 5%).

: Active smoking is a major risk factor for urothelial bladder cancer (UBC). However, the evidence that exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) either in childhood or adult life is also associated with UBC risk is ambiguous. With this meta-analysis, we aim to summarise how exposure to ETS is associated with UBC risk.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create a urine test for better detection of bladder tumors by exploring bladder cancer-specific glycoproteins.
- Lectin-ELISAs were performed on various bladder cell lines and urine samples, but results showed no strong preference of lectins for cancer cells over normal cells.
- Despite this, a few lectins preferred bladder cell glycans and identified potential urinary biomarkers, like mucin-1 and golgi apparatus protein 1, for further research in low-grade bladder cancer.
