Maternal vitamin deficiency mimicking multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency on newborn screening
2021
Abstract Background In infancy multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MADD) is commonly a severe inherited metabolic disease caused by genetic defects in electron transfer flavoprotein (ETF) or ETF ubiquinone oxidoreductase. Both enzymes require flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) as a cofactor. Riboflavin (vitamin B2) is a precursor in the synthesis of FAD. MADD can be detected by newborn screening (NBS) based on elevation of multiple acylcarnitines. Methods We present the results of two children whose NBS results and subsequent confirmatory testing resulted in a suspected diagnosis of MADD. In parallel in both children vitamin B12 deficiency was detected. Results Biochemical profiles n…
Vitamin A-Wachstums- und Leberspeichertest bei Ratten, mit gleichzeitiger Prüfung eines wasser- und fettlöslichen Präparates
1960
1. Wir fuhrten den Vitamin A-Wachstumstest mit dem wasserloslichen Palmitinsaureester und dem fettloslichen Vitamin A-Acetat durch. Die Tagesdosis betrug 1,5 bzw. 2,5 IE/Tier. Jede der 4 Gruppen bestand aus 30 Mannchen. Das Ergebnis wurde nach dem t-Test vonStudent ausgewertet. 2. Unter den Bedingungen unseres Experimentes erhoht der wasserlosliche Palmitinsaureester das Wachstum gegenuber dem fettloslichen A-Acetat signifikant. Die Differenz ist bei der geringen Dosis von 1,5 IE am grosten. Der Einflus des Futterverzehrs auf das Wachstum wird diskutiert. 3. Beim Leberspeichertest arbeiteten wir wieder mit 4 Rattengruppen zu je 30 Tieren. Verwendet wurden die gleichen Praparate wie beim Wac…
Immunohistochemical Expression of Vitamin D Receptor in Uterine Fibroids
2022
One of the many factors involved in the development of uterine fibroids is vitamin D deficiency. One aspect of this deficiency is decreased serum concentration of calcidiol-25(OH)D, a metabolite of D3 vitamin. The active form of vitamin D3, which arises after numerous enzymatic reactions, is calcitriol-1,25(OH)2D3; this compound is transported to various body tissues. Vitamin D possesses extra-genomic effects due to its influence on various signaling pathways, i.e., through activating tyrosine kinases and by genomic effects via binding to a specific nuclear receptor, vitamin D receptor (VDR). The vitamin D/VDR complex regulates the expression of genes and is involved in the pathogenesis of …
The effects of an abrupt increase in taxes on candy and soda in Norway: an observational study of retail sales
2020
Abstract Background Fiscal policies are used to promote a healthier diet; however, there is still a call for real-world evaluations of taxes on unhealthy foods and beverages. We aimed to evaluate the effect of an abrupt increase, of respectively 80 and 40%, in the excising Norwegian taxes on candy and beverages on volume sales of candy and soda. We expected sales to fall. Methods We analyzed electronic point of sale data covering approximately 98% of volume sales of grocery stores in Norway. In two pre-registered models with weekly (log-)sales of taxed candy and soda from 3884 individual stores, we modeled the difference between the jump (discontinuity) in the trend around the time of the i…
La influencia de la nutrición en la industria alimentaria

Spanish Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics editors Conflicts of Interest declaration 2020-2022
2020
Se reconoce como Conflicto de Interés (COI), al conjunto de condiciones en las que el juicio profesional en relación a un interés primario, tiende a ser indebidamente influenciado por un interés secundario (como por ejemplo el beneficio económico)1 . Esta situación no es ajena a los procesos editoriales de revistas científicas, estando presente desde la producción de manuscritos por los/as autores/as, la revisión por pares y las gestiones de los/as miembros de los equipos editoriales.
Editorial decisions: highlighting the role of systematic reviews
2018
En 2014, el doctor Gerard Urrútia del Centro Cochrane Iberoamericano - Institut d'Investigació Biomèdica Sant Pau, escribió unas líneas editoriales para la Revista Española de Nutrición Humana y Dietética1 en las que ponía en valor la necesidad de "incrementar el rigor científico tanto en la producción de estudios científicos, que proporcionen las bases para una toma de decisiones bien fundamentada, como en su divulgación mediante publicaciones científicas de calidad" en el ámbito de la nutrición y la dietética. Asimismo vaticinaba que "cabría esperar, por una parte, un creciente interés en la producción de revisiones sistemáticas por parte de profesionales de nuestro medio, también entre d…

Care management in a French cohort with Down syndrome from the AnDDI-Rares/CNSA study.
2021
Down syndrome (DS) is a genetic neurodevelopmental disorder. In individuals with DS, a multidisciplinary approach to care is required to prevent multiple medical complications. The aim of this study was to describe the rehabilitation, medical care, and educational and social support provided to school-aged French DS patients with varying neuropsychological profiles. A mixed study was conducted. Quantitative data were obtained from a French multicentre study that included patients aged 4-20 years with diverse genetic syndromes. Qualitative data were collected by semi-structured face-to-face interviews and focus groups. Ninety-five DS subjects with a mean age of 10.9 years were included. Sixt…
