Article Abstract
Previous studies have highlighted differences in faecal short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) between hypercholesterolemic (HC) and normocholesterolemic (NC) individuals; however, the impact of nutritional factors on SCFAs remains underexplored. This cross-sectional observational study involved 42 HC and 38 NC Thai adults and examined faecal SCFA concentrations and their associations with nutritional factors. Aliphatic (acetic, propionic, butyric acids) and branched (isobutyric and isovaleric acids) SCFAs were analysed. Although NC participants exhibited higher aliphatic and total SCFAs than HC participants, these differences were insignificant. Carbohydrate intake was positively associated with acetic and propionic acid, in the NC group. Sugar intake was negatively correlated with isobutyric and isovaleric acids in the NC group but positively correlated in the HC group. These findings suggest less efficient sugar and carbohydrate fermentation in the HC group, potentially affecting SCFA profiles. Future studies should investigate gut microbiota composition, bile acid secretion and gut pH as contributing factors.

Knee pain associated with bone-patellar tendon-bone autografts does not limit activity levels, sports participation or quality of life after ACL reconstruction.
Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc

Purpose: Bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) and Hamstring (HT) autografts are commonly used for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Concerns exist regarding postoperative anterior knee pain (AKP) and kneeling discomfort with BPTB grafts. However, many studies solely report the presence/absence of anterior knee pain, without assessing its clinical significance in terms of functional limitation or impact on quality of life.

: The therapeutic potential of vegetarian diets in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) remains understudied in Asian populations. This randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the effects of a culturally adapted 6-month lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet (LOV-D) on hepatic steatosis and cardiometabolic risk factors through weight loss. : In this randomized trial, 220 Chinese adults with MASLD were assigned to LOV-D ( = 110) or an omnivore diet ( = 110) for 6 months.

Purpose: The study aims to assess familial and environmental characteristics and daily routines (nutrition, sleep, and screen time) associated with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in Turkish children and compare them with typically developing peers.
Methods: A case-control study was conducted with 106 ADHD-diagnosed children and 100 typically developing peers. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and logistic regression models to determine risk factors for ADHD.
"You Want to Eat Healthy, Especially When You're Pregnant. But Sometimes, It's Just Not Possible": Perceptions of Facilitators and Barriers to Healthy Food and Diet Practices During Pre-Conception and Pregnancy.

School of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences, University of Hertfordshire, Hatfield, UK.
Background: Evidence suggests that women should eat a healthy diet during pre-conception and pregnancy as this benefits their own health as well as reducing the risk of non-communicable diseases in offspring (such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular and mental health problems); however, previous work indicates that the recommendations are not being followed. This study aimed to understand: the facilitators and barriers to healthy food and diet practices during pre-conception and pregnancy; how these barriers could be addressed, and the changes required to facilitate good food practices.
Methods: The research used a qualitative approach; five online focus groups were undertaken with 19 women living across the UK who were trying to conceive, pregnant or had babies under 6-months old.
Obesity and Hearing Loss: Mechanisms and Future Challenges.
Obesity (Silver Spring)

Laboratorio de Neurociencia Sensorial, Perceptual y Cognitiva, Instituto de Ciencias de la Salud, Universidad de O'Higgins, Rancagua, Chile.
In recent years, it has been suggested that the development of obesity could affect the auditory system, altering its functionality and its ability to process sound. However, little research exists on the molecular and physiological mechanisms underlying this relationship, especially in humans. This narrative review aims to highlight the research supporting the role of obesity as both an independent risk factor for hearing loss and as a condition that may exacerbate age-related hearing loss, providing an analysis of the molecular mechanisms underlying these processes.
