“…In peripheral blood the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio has been proposed as a marker of MS disease activity, with a higher ratio in MS, but with no association to progressive disease nor EDSS in a large cohort [67]. While other smaller cohort studies found an association between the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and EDSS score [68,69]. In plasma, measures of neutrophil associated factors NE, CXCL1, and CXCL5 correlate with MS lesion burden and clinical disability [36].…”

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating disease of the central nervous system with a strong autoimmune, neurodegenerative, and neuroinflammatory component. Most of the common disease modifying treatments (DMTs) for MS modulate the immune response targeting disease associated T and B cells and while none directly target neutrophils, several DMTs do impact their abundance or function. The role of neutrophils in MS remains unknown and research is ongoing to better understand the phenotype, function, and contribution of neutrophils to both disease onset and stage of disease. Here we summarize the current state of knowledge of neutrophils and their function in MS, including in the rodent based MS model, and we discuss the potential effects of current treatments on these functions. We propose that neutrophils are likely to participate in MS pathogenesis and their abundance and function warrant monitoring in MS.

“…Protein intake exceeded 67% of the EAR and most of the sources were plant-based, as reported in another study conducted in a low socioeconomic area [23]. Plant-based proteins are known for their low biological value and if not taken with starches, which are able to complement their limited amino acid content, a deficiency of essential amino acids could result [24]. Essential amino acids are necessary for growth and development of the foetus as demonstrated in a study that evaluated the amino acid levels in adolescent pregnancies and showed that lower levels were associated with adverse perinatal outcomes [24].…”

Again, meat is known as the best source of amino acids and failure to include it in the diet could lead to inadequate dietary intake if proper substitution is not done.…”

“…Furthermore, birth outcomes were not determined as this was across-sectional study. The low sample size might be a limiting factor, but many studies have used similarly low numbers of subjects (100 pregnant teens by Ngaha,et al in Cameroon [12]; 66pregnant teens by Whisner, et al in the USA, 14 pregnant teens by Wise in the USA [9,20]; 156 pregnant teens by Lee, et al in the USA [5]; and 39 pregnant teens by Guzel, et al in Turkey [24]. Only longitudinal studies focusing on pregnancy outcomes have reported sample sizes larger than 500.…”

Youth pregnancy continues to be a public health concern in South Africa, while nutrition during the first thousand days has become a focus of child and maternal focus and interventions. The study aimed to determine the food behaviours and dietary patterns of pregnant youth in the Polokwane Local Municipality of Limpopo province. It was a descriptive, exploratory and quantitative study. The study was conducted at five randomly selected primary health care clinics in the Polokwane Local Municipality, Limpopo province and pregnant youth aged between fifteen and twenty one years were recruited from these clinics. Sociodemographic data were collected using a validated questionnaire and dietary data were collected using a repeated twenty four hour recall and selected food frequency questionnaire. Blood was also collected to determine serum levels for iron, folate and vitamin B12. The food frequency questionnaire only included foods that are high in iron, folate and vitamin B12 as well as those food items that can enhance or inhibit iron absorption. Pregnant youth had an average of two meals per day, with breakfast being the most commonly skipped meal. There was generally less snacking as compared to studies conducted in urban areas. The nutrient intake was less than 67% of the estimated average requirements for energy, iron, folate, calcium and vitamin C and Vitamin B12. The diet was predominantly cereal-based, with a very low intake of fruit, vegetables and animal products.

“…Secondly, all participants were asked to fill the detailed 34-item nutrient habits and pregnancy-related features questionnaire that evaluates attitudes about food consumption frequency for red meat, chicken meat, fish, egg, legume, milk and milk products, nuts, fruits, vegetables, walnut, hazelnut and supplements intake as Folic acid, Omega 3, Vitamin D and sunlight exposure. The nutrient habits questionnaire was evaluated by the nutrient database program (BeBiS software program; Turkish version of Bebispro for Windows, Stuttgart, Germany) designed to evaluate daily intake estimates of various nutrients by the food consumption frequencies which reflects the antenatal period of intake (10). BeBiS is a software program that contains the data more than 20,000 foods and reports nutritional elements such as calories, protein, carbohydrate, fat, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, and antioxidants.…”

Optimal nutrition during prenatal, antenatal and postnatal period is one of the most desired conditions for the healthy birth of new generations and proper care of mother. The aim is to evaluate the effect of each maternal food consumption habit and supplementary intakes to the neonatal outcomes, blood biochemical parameters, macronutrient and micronutrient composition of body and address sufficient healthcare during antenatal care in a middle-income region. A group of 77 women at 3rd months postpartum were asked to complete the 43 items dietary questionnaire. Among all the women, 44 of them completed the questionnaire properly. The results of the questionnaire were evaluated by a nutrient database program (BeBiS software program) designed to evaluate nutrient elements of the human body. The blood biochemical parameters of all the patients were analyzed. The socio-demographic features, neonatal outcomes and maternal-neonatal anthropometric measurements were noted. The mean infant’s 3rd month height was statistically significantly higher in walnut consumed group 3-4 days a week (mean =66.57 ± 2.07 cm; CI: 95%) than in the non-consumed group (63.25 ± 2.08 cm; CI: 95%) (p =0.021). The mean weight gain was 10.94 ± 5.16 kg (CI 95%) in walnut non-consumed group and 18.43 ± 6.50 kg (CI 95%) in consumed group 3-4 days a week which is statistically significantly different (p =0.012). Iodine level was significantly statistically higher in the egg consumed group 5-7 days a week than the non-consumed group as secondary outcome (2.80 ± 0.24; 2.15 ± 0.64 respectively, p=0.022). The walnut consumption was related to the greater weight gain during pregnancy and the increase in infant’s height. Although, optimal weight gain is essential to maintain physiological well-being during pregnancy, we should consider the positive effect of walnuts on infant’s development.
