“…Therefore, it is imperative that the vitamin D supplementation program in our country for pregnant women that was implemented in May 2011 by legislation of the Turkish Ministry of Health be supported. The strong positive correlation between the vitamin D levels of pregnant women and the level of vitamin D in the umbilical cord blood has been demonstrated in many studies, and the most important indicator of the vitamin D levels of the newborn have been emphasized to be maternal vitamin D levels (20)(21)(22). 25(OH)D 3 transfers to the baby during pregnancy through the placenta and, thus, the vitamin D level of the umbilical cord blood of the baby indicates 80%-100% of the maternal vitamin D level (22).…”

Similarly, Ergür et al suggested that 25(OH)D 3 levels in the umbilical cord blood were a good predictor of the vitamin D level in the newborn, and hence it could be a feasible method to use in newborns that are thought to be in the risk group for vitamin D deficiency, as it is a noninvasive test (14).…”

A greenhouse experiment was conducted to observe the effects of Bacillus megaterium strain TV-91C, Pantoea agglomerans strain RK-92, and B. subtilis strain TV-17C inoculation on the growth, nutrient, and hormone content of cabbage seedlings. The seeds of cabbage were incubated in flasks by shaking at 80 rpm for 2 h at 28 °C to coat the seeds with the rhizobacteria. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) treatments increased fresh and dry shoot and root weight, stem diameter, seedling height, chlorophyll reading values, and leaf area of cabbage seedlings compared with the control. Among the strains, B. megaterium TV-91C gave the greatest seedling nutrient content and growth parameters, although the maximum values for leaf area, gibberellic acid, salicylic acid, and indole acetic acid (IAA) contents of seedlings were obtained with the P. agglomerans RK-92 treatment. Seed inoculation with B. megaterium TV-91C increased fresh and dry shoot and root weight by 32.9%, 22.6%, 16.0%, and 35.69%, respectively. Inoculations also increased the stem diameter, seedling height, and SPAD chlorophyll values by 47.5%, 27.2%, and 5.8%, respectively. Furthermore, compared to the control, P. agglomerans RK-92 increased gibberellic acid, salicylic acid, IAA, and leaf area by 13.9%, 70.9%, 38.5%, and 27.3%, respectively. PGPR treatments may improve seedling growth and quality in cabbages.

“…This analysis excluded information on vitamin B 12 and vitamin D intake from food (23) . Further, while the Australian Government introduced mandatory fortification of bread flour with folic acid in 2009, it was not possible to modify the calculation of folate intake accordingly (23) .…”

“…Of particular importance during pregnancy are methyl-donor nutrients such as folate and vitamin B 12 , which are considered to be positively associated with brain growth and cognitive development in the offspring (2,3) . Folate reduces the risk of neural tube defects in the fetus when consumed in the periconceptional period (4) , a finding which has led to the fortification of grain with folic acid in many countries (5) .…”

Objective: To examine overall micronutrient intake periconceptionally and throughout pregnancy in a population-based cohort of Australian women. Design: In a prospective cohort study, micronutrient dosages were extracted from self-reported maternal supplement use, recorded pre-conception, and for each trimester of pregnancy. A food frequency scale (DQESv2) captured usual maternal diet for gestational weeks 14-26. The influence of sociodemographic and lifestyle factors associated with supplement use was examined using logistic regression, and changes in micronutrient intakes prior to and throughout pregnancy were assessed using repeated-measures ANOVA analyses. Setting: Metropolitan hospital sites in Melbourne, Australia. Subjects: Women with a viable singleton pregnancy were recruited at less than 19 weeks' gestation (n 2146). Results: Compared with non-users, women using supplements during pregnancy were more likely to have planned their pregnancy, be >25 years old, primiparous, Caucasian, non-smokers, have a tertiary education and be consuming a folate-rich diet. Intakes of folate, Fe and Zn were significantly lower in the periconceptional period, compared with other periods (P < 0·001). Intakes below Recommended Daily Intake levels were common both periconceptionally and throughout pregnancy, with 19-46 % of women not meeting the Recommended Daily Intake for folate, 68-82 % for Fe and 17-36 % for Zn. Conversely, 15-19 % of women consumed beyond the recommended Upper Limit for folate and 11-24 % for Fe. Conclusions: The study highlights the need for improved public health education on nutritional needs during pregnancy, especially among women with lower educational achievements and income.
