Precision Nutrition in Chronic Inflammation

Precision of biomarkers to define chronic inflammation in CKD.

BACKGROUND/AIMS Several inflammatory biomarkers have been found to be associated with cardiovascular disease or all-cause mortality in dialysis patients, but their usefulness in clinical practice or as surrogate endpoints is not certain. The purpose of the present study was to determine the intrapatient variation of C-reactive protein, IL-6, fetuin-A and albumin in a population of dialysis pati...

Precision nutrition for Merino ewes

Automatic monitoring of liveweight and weight change is now possible with walk–through weighing systems. Computer–based drafting can incorporate a range of measurements such as pregnancy status, past performance, value–for–wool and value–for–meat to implement decisions on supplementary feeding. The combination of these technologies will provide the option of allocating animals likely to give th...

Bariatric Surgery and Precision Nutrition

This review provides a literature overview of new findings relating nutritional genomics and bariatric surgery. It also describes the importance of nutritional genomics concepts in personalized bariatric management. It includes a discussion of the potential role bariatric surgery plays in altering the three pillars of nutritional genomics: nutrigenetics, nutrigenomics, and epigenetics. We prese...

Chronic Low-grade Inflammation after Exercise: Controversies

Nutrition, Inflammation, and Acute Pancreatitis

Acute pancreatitis is acute inflammatory disease of the pancreas. Nutrition has a number of anti-inflammatory effects that could affect outcomes of patients with pancreatitis. Further, it is the most promising nonspecific treatment modality in acute pancreatitis to date. This paper summarizes the best available evidence regarding the use of nutrition with a view of optimising clinical managemen...
