Newest firstPatients with burn injuries exhibit one of the most intense hypermetabolic responses among critically ill populations, making them highly susceptible to malnutrition-linked to prolonged hospital stays and delayed wound healing. While cannabis is recognized for its appetite-stimulating properties in acute settings, its association with the nutritional demands of burn injuries remains underexplored. A single-institu…
Open article record in new tab ↗BackgroundAdolescence is a crucial period for growth, and adequate nutrition is essential for those living with HIV/AIDS and on antiretroviral therapy (ART). Despite declining HIV prevalence in Ethiopia, adolescents continue to face challenges that negatively impact their nutritional status. This study explored clinical, lifestyle, environmental, and dietary factors influencing the nutrition of adolescents on ART…
Open article record in new tab ↗Malnutrition in old age is a serious worldwide health concern, with complicated relationships between socioeconomic, health, and physiological factors. This research examines the influence of socioeconomic status, comorbidities, and sociodemographic factors on the nutritional status of older people in Bangladesh. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of factors like age, gender, education, income, marita…
IntroductionBetter nutrition is a priority in African countries like Rwanda with high prevalence of undernutrition and growing rates of obesity. Since public health insurance does not cover meals, vulnerable hospital inpatients are at risk of deficiency. We assessed the nutrition, health, and wellbeing effects of providing meals through the Gemura hospital feeding program. MethodsWe tested outcomes of the interven…
Open article record in new tab ↗We aimed to elucidate the effect of Medical Cannabis (MC) on appetite and nutritional status among patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). A case series of patients with IBD were initiating treatment with MC for disease-related symptoms, at the IBD clinic of a tertiary referral medical center. Patients' demographics, anthropometrics, medical history and treatment and MC use were systematically recorded. An…
Background and purpose The enzyme α/β-hydrolase domain containing 6 (ABHD6), a new member of the endocannabinoid system, is a promising therapeutic target against neuronal-related diseases. However, how ABHD6 activity is regulated is not known. ABHD6 coexists in protein complexes with the brain-specific carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1C (CPT1C). CPT1C is involved in neuro-metabolic functions, depending on brain ma…
Background Dietary essential omega-6 (n-6) and omega-3 (n-3) 18 carbon (18C-) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), linoleic acid (LA) and α-linolenic acid (ALA), can be converted (utilizing desaturase and elongase enzymes encoded by FADS and ELOVL genes) to biologically-active long chain (LC; >20)-PUFAs by numerous cells and tissues. These n-6 and n-3 LC-PUFAs and their metabolites (ex, eicosanoids and endocannabin…
Background Nutrient deprivation during early development has been associated with the predisposition to metabolic disorders in adulthood. Considering its interaction with metabolism, appetite and behavior, the endocannabinoid (eCB) system represents a promising target of developmental programming. Methods By cross-fostering and variation of litter size, early postnatal nutrition of CB6F1-hybrid mice was controlled…
A variety of drugs which are not primarily considered to be immunosuppressive agents have been described to modulate the humoral and cellular immune response in humans or animals. Thereby they may have an influence on the effectiveness and possible side effects of vaccines. This mini review lists some of the different substance classes and also some of endogeneous, infectious, nutritional, and environmental influe…
