The Acute Effects of a Fast-Food Meal Versus a Mediterranean Food Meal on the A...

Background/Objectives: This study aimed to assess the acute effects of two isoenergetic but micronutrient-diverse meals—a Mediterranean-like meal (MdM) and a fast food-like meal (FFM)—on the autonomic nervous system (ANS), lung function, and airway inflammation response. Methods: Forty-six participants were enrolled in a randomized crossover clinical trial, consuming two isoenergetic meals: FFM (burger, fries, ...

Ocular allergy: From clinical approach to treatment; [Alergia ocular: Da aborda...

Ocular allergy encompasses a spectrum of pathologies mediated by hypersensitivity mechanisms that affect the ocular surface. Ocular symptoms and signs such as itching or conjunctival hyperemia are often underestimated and undertreated despite their impact on quality of life. Ocular allergy encompasses different clinical entities differentiated by their underlying patho-physiological mechanism and clinical prese...

The effect of the attitude towards risk/ambiguity on examination grades: cross-...

Given the high prevalence of multiple-choice examinations with formula scoring in medical training, several studies have tried to identify other factors in addition to the degree of knowledge of students which influence their response patterns. This study aims to measure the effect of students’ attitude towards risk and ambiguity on their number of correct, wrong, and blank answers. In October 2018, 233 3rd yea...

Does the Mediterranean Dietary Pattern Promote Lower Sodium Urinary Excretion i...

An adequate sodium intake is related to various health benefits. Parallelly, the Mediterranean diet (MD) is a dietary pattern known for its many positive impacts on health. Nonetheless, the association between adherence to the MD and sodium urinary excretion is scarce, even more in children. This study aimed to assess the association between MD adherence and the excretion of sodium, as a proxy of intake. This c...

Mediterranean Diet and Airway Inflammation in School-Aged Children

<jats:p>There seems to exist an intricate relationship between airway inflammation, body mass index (BMI), and diet. The intake of specific foods or food groups has been suggested to suppress the oxidative stress and inflammatory processes that characterize airway inflammation, but little is known about dietary patterns and their complex interplay with BMI and airway inflammation. Therefore, this cross-sectiona...

Cost-effectiveness analysis of grass pollen specific immunotherapy in children ...

Background. Cost-effectiveness studies evaluating allergen immunothera-py (AIT) in children are scarce. We aim to compare the cost-effectiveness of subcutaneous (SCIT) and sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) against stan-dard-of-care (SOC) treatment in children with grass pollen allergic rhinitis. Methods. We created a Markov model to compare the three strategies over a 10-year horizon. SOC was the reference to cal...

Diet Quality and Exhaled Breath Condensate Markers in a Sample of School-Aged C...

Exhaled breath condensate (EBC) analysis is a recently developed, non-invasive method used to identify and quantify biomarkers, mainly those coming from the lower respiratory tract. It seems that diet can influence the airway's inflammation and change the exhaled breath composition. This study aimed to assess the association between diet quality intake and markers in EBC among school-aged children. A cross-sect...
