Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and cognitive decline in adults with non-de...

Background/Objectives: As global aging accelerates, prevalence of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) continues to rise, challenging healthcare systems and diminishing older adults’ quality of life. There is great interest in better understanding the neuroprotective/anti-inflammatory properties of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids but the results from many published studies in humans come to different conclusions...

Acceptability of Antenatal Multiple Micronutrient Supplementation (MMS) Compare...

Background/Objectives: Antenatal multiple micronutrient supplementation (MMS) improves birth outcomes more effectively than iron and folic acid (IFA) supplementation alone. However, the acceptability of MMS among pregnant individuals, a critical factor for adherence and program success, remains poorly defined and inconsistently assessed. This narrative review proposes a comprehensive definition of "acceptabilit...

Publisher Copyright: © 2025; The authors regret an error in values listed the abstract, which should read “Observational analyses among participants who received MMS showed that ≥90% adherence was associated with increased birthweight (MD: 18 g; 95% CI: 3, 33 g) and lower risk of LBW [relative risk (RR): 0.93; 95% CI: 0.88, 0.98] and small-for-gestational age (RR: 0.96; 95% CI: 0.92, 1.00), whereas <60% adheren...

Including calcium-fortified water or flour in modeled diets based on local food...

Adequate calcium intake is essential for health, especially for infants, children, adolescents, and women, yet is difficult to achieve with local foods in many low- and middle-income countries. Previous analysis found it was not always possible to identify food-based recommendations (FBRs) that reached the calcium population recommended intake (PRI) for these groups in Bangladesh, Guatemala, and Uganda. We have...

Biomarker of Chronic Alcohol Abuse – Carbohydrate-deficient Transferrin (CDT): ...

Introduction: Transferrin is a glycoprotein synthesized in hepatocytes that can appear with different isomorphic forms in the plasma, acquiring different levels of sialization (1,2). In a healthy person, penta, tetra and trisial isoforms are detectible in plasma. However, in an alcohol abuse and/or dependence, asialo, monosialo and disialotransferrin isoforms are also present called carbohydrate-deficient trans...

Biomarcador de Alcoolismo Crónico - Défice da transferrina carbohidratada (CDT)

No âmbito da dissertação de mestrado em Gestão da Saúde na ENSP/NOVA em 2018/19, realizou-se o estudo sobre o “Biomarcador de alcoolismo crónico: défice da transferrina carbohidratada (CDT)“. O objectivo era conhecer, “Se o CDT seria efectivo como biomarcador de monitorização dos doentes com síndrome de dependência alcoólica e qual a sua utilização noutros sistemas de saúde?”. Com orientação cientifica e o apoi...

No âmbito da saúde pública torna-se importante compreender a problemática do diagnóstico e monitorização dos doentes com síndrome de dependência do álcool, pelos problemas de saúde e sociais relacionados com o consumo excessivo, mas também pelos custos imputados ao sistema de saúde. Existem vários biomarcadores específicos do alcoolismo, mas na sua maioria ainda não estão devidamente estandardizados, têm limita...
