BACKGROUND: Multivitamin use is common among cancer patients. Whether post-diagnostic multivitamin supplementation is beneficial for prostate cancer survival is largely unknown, and some evidence even suggests potential harm. METHODS: We prospectively assessed post-diagnostic multivitamin use in relation to prostate cancer survival among 4756 men with nonmetastatic prostate cancer at diagnosis in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study (1986-2016). Cox regression models were used to evaluate the association between post-diagnostic multivitamin use and frequency and risk of lethal prostate cancer (distant metastases or prostate cancer-specific death) and all-cause mortality...

The Indonesian government has provided iron-folic acid (IFA) supplementation in response to maternal pregnancy iron-deficiency anemia. However, community-based cohorts on IFA's effects on maternal and infant anemia are limited. A mixed-method study design with a primary longitudinal cohort was used to observe the association between IFA and anemia in mothers and infants. Iron-folic acid supplementation was observed throughout pregnancy. Anemia status was based on a single hemoglobin assessment using HemoCue Hb 201 + in the second or third trimester of pregnancy for the mother and at birth for the infant...

Iodine is an essential micronutrient for humans due to its fundamental role in the biosynthesis of thyroid hormones. As a key parameter to assess health conditions, iodine intake needs to be monitored to ascertain and prevent iodine deficiency. Iodine is available from various food sources (such as seaweed, fish, and seafood, among others) and dietary supplements (multivitamins or mineral supplements). In this work, a microfluidic paper-based analytical device (μPAD) to quantify iodide in seaweed and dietary supplements is described...

Dietary choline is needed to maintain normal health, including normal liver function in adults. Fatty liver induced by a choline-deficient diet has been consistently observed in human and animal studies. The effect of insufficient choline intake on hepatic fat accumulation is specific and reversible when choline is added to the diet. Choline requirements are higher in women during pregnancy and lactation than in young non-pregnant women. We reviewed the evidence on whether choline derived from the maternal diet is necessary for maintaining normal liver function in the fetus and breastfed infants...

In recent years, the rapidly increasing incidence of obesity is becoming a worldwide public health problem. Obesity is a chronic disease which may have a major negative effect on the people's quality of life. Previous studies on the comprehensive effects of multivitamins on central obesity and general obesity are relatively few. The aim of this study was to evaluate association of vitamins exposure with obesity risk and obesity-related indicators. We fitted three statistical models (linear regression model, logistic regression model, and Bayesian kernel machine regression model) to evaluate the correlation between vitamin levels and obesity in the study population...

BACKGROUND: Metabolomics has the potential to enhance dietary assessment by revealing objective measures of many aspects of human food intake. Although metabolomics studies indicate that hundreds of metabolites are associated with dietary intake, correlations have been modest (e.g., r < 0.50), and few have been evaluated in controlled feeding studies. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate associations between metabolites and weighed food and beverage intake in a controlled feeding study of habitual diet...

We report a case of a 72-year-old woman who developed recurrent abdominal laparotomy wound dehiscence and infection following a hepatico-jejunostomy. Her surgical history included a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) that was carried out 11 years ago. Upon further assessment in the current admission, she was found to be deficient in both selenium and zinc. Daily multivitamin and mineral tablets and a nutritional supplement drink were prescribed to address her deficiencies. After 2 months of supplementation, the laparotomy wound had made significant healing progress and no further surgical input was required...

Analysis of N-nitroso folic acid, a nitrosamine impurity found in folic acid, is challenging due to the complex sample matrices. Many of such supplements contain not only a variety of vitamins, including vitamin A, Bs, C, D and E, but also other ingredients such as minerals, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), glucose syrup, sugar, and herbs. On the other hand, the strength of folic acid is typically low, ranging from 50 µg to 5 mg per unit. In this study, a highly selective and sensitive LC-MS/MS method was developed to accurately quantify N-nitroso folic acid in supplements containing folic acid...
