In Vitro Comparative Study of Calcium Hydroxyapatite (Stiim): Conventional Saline Dilution Versus Poly-Micronutrient Dilution.

Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) is widely used in aesthetics for its dual role as a dermal filler and biostimulator, promoting collagen and elastin synthesis. This study evaluates the comparative potential of CaHA in conventional saline dilution versus CaHA mixed with a poly-micronutrient solution (CaHA/PMN) to enhance its biostimulatory effects. In an in vitro model, primary human fibroblasts were treated with both formulations, and cell viability and gene expression of type I collagen, elastin, FOXO3, SIRT-1, and SIRT-3 were assessed. The results demonstrated that both CaHA and CaHA/PMN treat

Piloting Multiple Micronutrient Supplementation Within the Routine Antenatal Care System in Ethiopia: Insights From Stakeholders.

In low and middle-income countries, addressing maternal and child nutrition needs is crucial. Prenatal multiple micronutrient supplementation (MMS) holds promise in reducing low birthweight and preterm births. Ethiopia is considering a transition from the provision of iron-folate supplementation to the provision of MMS in antenatal care, guided by WHO guidelines. This paper explores stakeholders' early perceptions and experiences in piloting that transition in five Ethiopian regions, informing decision making about future policy and scale-up. We used a qualitative study involving interviews an

Effect of prenatal multiple micronutrient supplementation on birth weight in Ethiopia: protocol for a pragmatic cluster-randomised trial.

INTRODUCTION: This programme effectiveness study responds to the need for evidence of the effect on birth weight of switching from iron-folic acid supplementation to multiple micronutrient supplementation as part of routine antenatal care in Ethiopia. A 2019 meta-analysis reported a mean increase of 35 g in birth weight among newborns of women who took multiple micronutrient supplements in pregnancy compared with those who took iron-folic acid. Responding to that evidence, the government of Ethiopia decided to implement a 21 district pilot of the use of multiple micronutrient supplementation i

Assessment of Preoperative Multivitamin Use on the Impact on Micronutrient Deficiencies in Patients with Obesity Prior to Metabolic Bariatric Surgery.

Comparison of Micronutrient Deficiencies Following Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass and One-Anastomosis Gastric Bypass.

INTRODUCTION: Obesity is a chronic disease that can be effectively managed with bariatric surgery, such as gastric bypass. Both Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) surgeries are associated with malnutrition. OAGB is associated with higher weight loss and remission of diabetes. However, it is also associated with a significantly greater incidence of malnutrition than RYGB. We conducted this study to assess the association of both procedures with different micronutrient deficiencies. METHODS: A retrospective single-center cohort study was conducted. Patient

Micronutrient availability alters Candida albicans growth and farnesol accumulation: implications for studies using RPMI-1640.

UNLABELLED: Science is challenging because we do not know what we do not know. Commercial chemicals are often marketed with >99% purity, but 0.5-1% impurity can impact results and cloud data interpretation. We recently developed an assay for farnesol and aromatic fusel alcohols from Candida albicans. During proof-of-concept experiments using RPMI-1640 growth media, the buffering compound was switched from MOPS obtained from Acros Organics to MOPS obtained from Sigma-Aldrich, both labeled 99% + purity. We observed a twofold decrease in growth, along with a three- to fivefold increase in farneso

Micronutrient deficiencies in older patients with inflammatory bowel disease are not associated with worse adverse clinical outcome rates.

BACKGROUND: Micronutrient deficiencies (MNDs) and age have been previously separately associated with adverse clinical outcomes in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, previous clinical outcomes in older patients with MNDs have been poorly described. We examined the age-related rates of adverse clinical outcomes in patients with 1 or more MNDs. METHODS: We conducted a single-institution retrospective cohort study of 204 patients with IBD. Patients were divided into age-related cohorts: 1) younger adults aged 18-59; and 2) older adults aged ≥60 years. Patients were further
