Microbial amphiphiles play an important role in environmental activities such as microbial signaling, bioremediation, and biofilm formation. Microorganisms rely on their unique characteristics of interfaces to carry out critical biological functions, which are helped by amphipathic biomolecules known as amphiphiles. Bacillus amyloids aid in cell adhesion and biofilm formation. Pseudomonas sp. are essential in biofilm development and are a vital survival strategy for many bacteria. Furthermore, Pseudomonas and Bacillus are well-known for their ability to produce biosurfactants with a range of applications, including bioremediation and removing biological pollutants from different environments...

School-based health centers (SBHCs) provide a critical point of access to youth in low-resource communities. By providing a combination of primary care, reproductive health, mental health, vision, dental, and nutrition services, SBHCs improve the health, wellbeing, and academic achievement of the students they serve. SBHCs operate in collaboration with schools and community primary care providers to optimize the management of chronic health conditions and other health concerns that may result in suboptimal scholastic achievement and other quality of life measures...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Emerging evidence suggests that the gut microbiota and its metabolites regulate neurodevelopment and cognitive functioning via a bi-directional communication system known as the microbiota-gut-brain axis (MGBA). RECENT FINDINGS: The MGBA influences brain development and function via the hypothalamic-pituitary axis, the vagal nerve, immune signaling, bacterial production of neurotransmitters, and microbial metabolites like short-chain fatty acids, tryptophan derivatives, and bile acids...

Enteral feeding is a crucial aspect of nutritional support for critically ill patients. However, the optimal feeding approach, whether bolus or continuous, remains a subject of debate. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare the outcomes of bolus feeding and continuous enteral feeding in critically ill patients. A systemic search was carried out in PubMed, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) Ultimate, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar to identify relevant studies...

In today's world, where nutrition forms the cornerstone of human health, the potential harms of misinformation are concerning. Nutritional myths, whether originating from age-old superstitions, misinterpreted scientific findings, or commercial interests, can lead astray. In the digital age, the proliferation of such misleading information is alarmingly accelerated, thanks to the dominance of social media and search engines. Modern artificial intelligence tools, exemplified by ChatGPT, promise a potential revolution in dispelling these nutrition-related misconceptions...

BACKGROUND: The traditional reference standard, venous blood glucose requires venipuncture and laboratories usually return the test results after 60 min. Our aim was to determine the agreement accuracy of glucose (capillary) levels obtained by POC glucometers with glucose (venous) values by standard laboratory method (glucose-oxidase) and to assess whether and to what extent the glucometers perform uniformly well across the entire range of blood glucose values. METHODS: We compared the diagnostic accuracy of two-point of care glucometers with laboratory venous glucose, the reference standard using Bland-Altman plots and Clark error grid method to analyse the results...

This study aimed to evaluate the association between the oral health status and appetite in community-dwelling older adults. We enrolled 100 people aged ≥65 years who had participated in long-term care prevention projects between December 2018 and January 2019.

Alterations in cellular metabolism are important hallmarks of glioblastoma(GBM). Metabolic reprogramming is a critical feature as it meets the higher nutritional demand of tumor cells, including proliferation, growth, and survival. Many genes, proteins, and metabolites associated with GBM metabolism reprogramming have been found to be aberrantly expressed, which may provide potential targets for cancer treatment. Therefore, it is becoming increasingly important to explore the role of internal and external factors in metabolic regulation in order to identify more precise therapeutic targets and diagnostic markers for GBM...

BACKGROUND: Guidelines recommend prioritizing protein provision while avoiding excessive energy delivery to critically ill patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), but there are no prospective studies evaluating such a targeted approach in this group. We aimed to evaluate the effect of a "higher-protein formula protocol" on protein, energy, and volume delivery when compared with standard nutrition protocol. METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study of adult patients with COVID-19 who received mechanical ventilation for >72 h and enteral nutrition...

BACKGROUND: Since weaning failure is multifactorial, comprehensive weaning scores encompassing not only the respiratory component but also nonrespiratory aspects are quintessential for successful weaning prediction. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a single-center prospective observational study on 128 intensive care unit (ICU) patients undergoing spontaneous breathing trials (SBT). The extubation prediction score (ExPreS), heart rate, acidosis, consciousness, oxygenation, respiratory rate (HACOR), and weaning parameters, endotracheal tube size, arterial blood gas analysis, nutrition, secretions, neuromuscular affecting agents, obstructive airway problems and wakefulness (WEANSNOW) scores were compared for their diagnostic accuracy for successful weaning prediction...

According to WHO, "complementary feeding (CF) is the process starting when breast milk alone or infant formula alone is no longer sufficient to meet the nutritional requirements of infants, and therefore, other foods and liquids are needed, along with breast human milk or a breastmilk substitute". CF is one of the most important "critical and sensitive periods" in human life: indeed, timing and approaches to solid foods introduction in an infant's nutrition are of utmost importance as potential epigenetic factors from infancy to adulthood...

Glutamine, a multifaceted nonessential/conditionally essential amino acid integral to cellular metabolism and immune function, holds pivotal importance in the landscape of cancer therapy. This review delves into the intricate dynamics surrounding both glutamine antagonism strategies and glutamine supplementation within the context of cancer treatment, emphasizing the critical role of glutamine metabolism in cancer progression and therapy. Glutamine antagonism, aiming to disrupt tumor growth by targeting critical metabolic pathways, is challenged by the adaptive nature of cancer cells and the complex metabolic microenvironment, potentially compromising its therapeutic efficacy...

OBJECTIVES: Patients with intestinal failure require central venous access which puts them at risk for central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI). Maintaining vascular patency is critical for this population to receive nutrition support. When CLABSIs occur line salvage can help maintain vascular access.
