Article Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effect of dietary supplementation with Brazilian green propolis-BrGrProp on biochemical parameters and dietary intake in People Living with Diabetes - PLWD.
Method: Randomized double-blind study performed for thirty days. PLWD (n = 62/Phase-1: PLWD supplemented with BrGrProp (G1/n = 31) and another treated with Manihot esculenta starch (Placebo/n = 31). From this group, 22 PLWD (G2) participated in the study being treated with BrGrProp, characterized as Phase-2. PLWD received capsules (2× 500 mg/day) of BrGrProp or Placebo. Fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), total cholesterol and fractions, pyruvic glutamic transaminase, oxalacetic glutamic transaminase, gamma glutamyl transferase, and dietary intake data were determined at the beginning and end of the study. Statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS 21/Minitab-17/Prisma 7.0.
Results: Phase-1: no significant changes were observed in the analyzed parameters. Phase 2: Improvement in glycemic parameters (FBG and HbA1c) and most lipid parameters (TC, LDL, HDL and TG), with reduction in the level of Hb1Ac (p = 0.023), increase in the level of HDL (p = 0.048) and in the food intake of the PLWD. The indicators of liver function did not show significant changes.
Conclusion: BrGrProp in the diet generates beneficial effects for diabetics, characterized by improvement of HbA1c and HDL parameters, without causing detectable harmful changes.

Background: Children in the United States have poor diet quality, increasing their risk for chronic disease burden later in life. Caregivers' feeding behaviors are a critical factor in shaping lifelong dietary habits. The Strong Families Start at Home/Familias Fuertes Comienzan en Casa (SFSH) was a 6-month, home-based, pilot randomized-controlled feasibility trial that aimed to improve the diet quality of 2-5-year-old children and promote positive parental feeding practices among a predominantly Hispanic/Latine sample.

Objective: It is important to raise awareness of the nutritional problems that can be overlooked during the follow-up visits with children who suffer from neuromuscular diseases, as these dietary differences may lead to additional neurological and systemic problems and impair the quality of life of the patient. The aim of this study was to evaluate the nutritional status of children with neuromuscular disorders and to prevent possible complications by recognizing possible nutritional problems in advance.
Methods: Patients who applied to the outpatient clinic at Cukurova University, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Pediatric Neurology beginning in April 2022 with a neuromuscular disorder diagnosis were followed up with and were included in the study.

Despite alarming rates of students' food insecurity in the US (41%), estimates may not be fully capturing experiences in university settings. Understanding students' food insecurity is a knowledge gap flagged amidst outstanding progress on food security measurement in household settings. This study investigated the domains shaping the experiences around food with implications for food insecurity among students.
