Abstract:
Le diagnostic histologique du cancer de l’anus repose sur les biopsies réalisées lors de l’examen proctologique. La recherche d’HPV et de la protéine p16 est recommandée, en lien avec son rôle pronostique. Les progrès techniques et la meilleure accessibilité rendent indispensable dans le bilan initial l’IRM anorectale dans le bilan d’extension locorégional, en complément du scanner TAP. La TEP-18-FDG est presque systématique et l’échoendoscopie anorectale reste intéressante pour les petites tumeurs. Le bilan du terrain ne doit pas être oublié : infection VIH et comorbidités associées, recherche d’autres cancers HPV-induits, évaluation de la continence et de l’état nutritionnel. La recherche d’un déficit en DPD est nécessaire avant un traitement par fluoropyrimidines.

Abstract:
RÉSUMÉLes mesures anthropométriques reflètent l'état nutritionnel. Cette recherche a examiné les données provenant de Canadien(ne)s âgé(e)s ayant participé à la première phase de l'Étude sur la santé et le vieillissement au Canada (CSHA-1). Le poids et la taille furent mesurés chez 1 464 personnes vivant dans la communauté et 963 individus en institution. Les sujets institutionnalisés avaient un poids corporel inférieur à ceux vivant en communauté (59,1 ± 13,8 kg. vs. 65,1 ± 14,1 kg.); ils étaient plus petits (160,4 ± 10.1 cm vs. 162,6 ± 10 cm), et leur IMC étaient plus bas (23,3 ± 5,0 vs. 24,6 ± 4,5) (p< .001). Les valeurs anthropométriques furent plus basses chez les femmes, et diminuaient progressivement avec l'âge. Les Québécois avaient une taille plus petite et un poids corporel inférieur à ceux des Canadiens vivant ailleurs. Les mesures anthropométriques ont diminué suivant le diagnostic cognitif, en allant de normal, à «deficit cognitif sans démence» (CIND), à dément; les participants atteints de la démence de type Alzheimer avaient les poids corporels les plus bas. Les facteurs associés au poids corporel étaient différents parmi les participants vivant dans la communauté et en institution.

Abstract:
Introduction. La mucoviscidose reste une affection potentiellement sévère, responsable d’une morbimortalité élevée dans notre pays en raison du retard diagnostique et de prise en charge des enfants vu l’absence de dépistage néonatal. Objectif. Présenter les signes cliniques digestifs et hépatobiliaires des enfants atteints de mucoviscidose au diagnostic et lors de leur suivi. Patients et méthodes. Etude descriptive, transversale et rétrospective conduite au niveau du service de pneumo-allergologie de l’EHS Canastel « Boukhrofa Abdelkader » à Oran, entre 2000 et 2019, concernant les dossiers des enfants avec un diagnostic confirmé de mucoviscidose. Résultats. Sur 51 dossiers d’enfants colligés (49% de garçons, âge moyen = 6.68 +/- 4.24 années), la triade classique avec diarrhée, dénutrition et atteinte pulmonaire était le premier motif d’hospitalisation avec 41% des enfants. Aussi, à l’admission, la diarrhée chronique avec stéatorrhée était présente dans 82,4% des cas, avec 11.8% de déshydratation. Trente-six pour cent (36%) des enfants présentaient également une dénutrition associée. Concernant le système hépatobiliaire, 10% des enfants présentaient une hépatomégalie clinique, avec une lithiase vésiculaire dans un seul cas. Un seul enfant a présenté un prolapsus rectal. Sur le plan thérapeutique nutritionnel, tous les enfants ont reçu des extraits pancréatiques. L’évolution des diarrhées était globalement favorable ; le pourcentage des enfants diarrhéiques étant passé de 82.4% à 37.25% avec une amélioration de l’index de masse corporelle (IMC) chez 42.55% des malades. Conclusion. Les manifestations hépato-digestives sont au premier plan au cours de la mucoviscidose : dans notre cohorte, tous les patients ont présenté au moins un signe d’appel digestif durant leur suivi. Leur reconnaissance et surtout leur prise en charge précoces sont des étapes essentielles en vue d’améliorer le pronostic des enfants atteints de mucoviscidose. Mots clés : Mucoviscidose, Enfant, Algérie, insuffisance pancréatique exocrine, complications digestives, complications hépatobiliaires.

Abstract:
Abstract Objectives Personalized and evidenced-based nutritional interventions are needed to overcome the burden of type 2 diabetes (T2D) epidemic. The aim of this study was to describe the implementation and impact on glycemic control of an intervention based on Nutritional Care Process Terminology (NCPT) within a T2D comprehensive care program in Mexicans. Methods This is a single-arm study of a 2-years follow-up. We evaluated 258 individuals of the CAIPaDi program across six visits. The program seeks to achieve metabolic goals and provide self-efficacy to recently T2D-diagnosed patients. The customized nutritional intervention was implemented for all participants based on an NCPT model. The intervention was implemented by two dietitians, following the NCPT program. Each participant engaged in a 30-minutes session each visit. The main outcome is the achievement of treatment goals defined by the National Committee for Quality Assurance criteria (NCQA). Results The program was effective to reduce the prevalence of subjects with poor glycemic control from 85% to 57% (P &lt; .0001) after 2 years. Nutritional diagnoses were grouped into the three main domains, 1) ingestion, 2) clinical, and 3) Behavioral/Environmental. At baseline, the most prevalent diagnostic was behavioral diagnostics (44%), followed by ingestion (39%), and clinical (17%). The majority of individuals with behavioral diagnostics migrated to ingestion, whereas individuals with ingestion diagnoses at baseline migrated to the non-diagnostic at the final visit. At the end of the follow-up, the most frequent diagnostic was ingestion (45%), with 29% of the subjects with good glycemic control, contrasting with 79% of the non-diagnostic individuals (p = .0001). Subjects in the category the non-diagnostic nutritional in one previous visit, were 89% more likely to reach a good glycemic control in the last visit (HR 1.89; 95CI% 1.17–3.05) even after adjusting by confounders: age, sex, body fat, years of onset and HbA1c at baseline. Conclusions An intervention based on NCPT can help provide individualized nutritional interventions and prioritize clinical attention to improve the effectiveness of a T2D comprehensive care program.

Abstract:
Introduction. Mineral fertilizers essential for intensive crop production technologies are an expensive and environmentally unsafe resource polluting the soil and agricultural products when applied in excess. The purpose of the research is instrumental and methodological support for modern functional diagnostics of nutritional requirements of plants, which is aimed at activating the photosynthesis process. Materials and Methods. It is proposed, for identifying nutritional requirements of plants to replace numerous intermediate plastic test tubes with a mixture of permanent components (sodium chloride, chloroplast suspension and Tillmans’ paint) for the diagnostic solution variants by a separate elastic light-protective container. A homogeneous mixture in a separate container eliminates the error in the concentration of solution components, which accompanies the repeated formation of mixtures in intermediate test tubes. This made it possible to reduce a number of repeated operations of filling intermediate test tubes with pipette dispensers for each tested mixture of elements. The studies were carried out in 2021–2022 using mechanical pipette dispensers Lenpipet Thermo Fisher Scientific (Finland) – 10 ml, Lenpipet Color – 100 μl and Lenpipet Color – 200 μl. Their error was determined on a VK-600 electronic balance. Results. The use of innovation increased the reliability of diagnostic data due to a 8.6% average reduction of error in the concentration of components in the mixture solution. In addition, the time spent on performing diagnostics decreased by 1.7 times that, under the conditions of a limited lifetime of chloroplasts, had a favorable effect on obtaining reliable data. Discussion and Conclusion. Reliable diagnostic data on nutritional requirements of plants will save fertilizer resources and improve the quality of agricultural production free from excessive nutrients.

Abstract:
Lyme disease (LD) is the most common tick-borne disease in the northern hemisphere, producing a wide range of disabling effects on multiple human targets, including the skin, the nervous system, the joints and the heart. Insufficient clinical diagnostic methods, the necessity for prompt antibiotic treatment along with the pervasive nature of infection impel the development and establishment of new clinical diagnostic tools with increased accuracy, sensitivity and specificity. The goal of this article is 4-fold: (i) to detail LD infection and pathology, (ii) to review prevalent diagnostic methods, emphasizing inherent problems, (iii) to introduce the usage ofin vivoinduced antigen technology (IVIAT) in clinical diagnostics and (iv) to underscore the relevance of a novel comprehensive LD diagnostic approach to practitioners of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM). Utilization of this analytical method will increase the accuracy of the diagnostic process and abridge the time to treatment, with antibiotics, herbal medicines and nutritional supplements, resulting in improved quality of care and disease prognosis.

Abstract:
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a recognized risk factor for malnutrition. The European Respiratory Society (ERS) statement included nutritional status assessment and dietary intervention as essential components of comprehensive management in subjects with COPD. According to the GLIM algorithm, the first step in diagnosing malnutrition is risk screening with a validated tool. Our study aimed to assess the diagnostic performance of three screening tools (MNA-SF, MUST, and NRS-2002) used in the GLIM algorithm in older patients with COPD. Additionally, we evaluated the agreement between these tools in the diagnostics of malnutrition. We performed a cross-sectional study of 124 patients aged at least 60 years with COPD diagnosed, based on the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD). We assessed the participants’ nutritional status with the three examined screening questionnaires (MNA-SF, MUST, and NRS-2002). Regardless of their results, we performed full malnutrition diagnostics following the GLIM algorithm in all subjects. The proportion of malnourished participants varied from 18.5% for the MUST questionnaire to 27.4% for the MNA-SF and 57.3% for the NRS-2002 score. Based on the GLIM criteria, malnutrition was diagnosed in 48 subjects (38.7%). All assessed questionnaires had an unsatisfactory sensitivity against the GLIM criteria for malnutrition: it was fair (58.3%) for the MNA-SF tool and poor for the MUST and NRS-2002 questionnaires (47.9% for both questionnaires). Considering the negative health consequences of malnutrition, a full diagnostic including GLIM etiologic and phenotypic criteria should be recommended in all elderly patients with COPD, regardless of the screening results.

Abstract:
Parenteral selenium (Se) and vitamin E (Vit E) were administered to all newborn kids at a Boer goat farm where there was previous high neonatal mortality assumed to be due to nutritional myopathy. All treated kids were affected by severe respiratory distress and died within 8 hours of Se/Vit E administration. Gross lesions included severe pulmonary edema, hydrothorax, and hydropericardium. The primary histopathologic finding was severe, acute, and monophasic myocardial contraction band necrosis. The diagnosis was accidental acute selenosis based on trace mineral analysis of the liver. This case highlights an important differential diagnosis in cases of acute myocardial contraction band necrosis and sudden death in goats and emphasizes the need for caution when administering parenteral Se/Vit E preparations.

Abstract:
Abstract Electronic tools in clinical laboratory diagnostics can assist laboratory professionals, clinicians, and patients in medical diagnostic management and laboratory test interpretation. With increasing implementation of electronic health records (EHRs) and laboratory information systems worldwide, there is increasing demand for well-designed and evidence-based electronic resources. Both complex data-driven and simple interpretative electronic healthcare tools are currently available to improve the integration of clinical and laboratory information towards a more patient-centered approach to medicine. Several studies have reported positive clinical impact of electronic healthcare tool implementation in clinical laboratory diagnostics, including in the management of neonatal bilirubinemia, cardiac disease, and nutritional status. As patients have increasing access to their medical laboratory data, it is essential that accessible electronic healthcare tools are evidence-based and user-friendly for individuals of varying digital and medical literacy. Indeed, studies suggest electronic healthcare tool development processes significantly lack the involvement of relevant healthcare professionals and often present misinformation, including erroneous calculation algorithms or inappropriate interpretative recommendations. The current review provides an overview of the utility of available electronic healthcare tools in clinical laboratory diagnostics and critically reviews potential limitations and benefits of their clinical implementation. The Canadian Laboratory Initiative on Pediatric Reference Intervals (CALIPER) online database is also detailed as an example of a pediatric diagnostic tool with widespread global impact.

Abstract:
Acute critical illnesses can alter vital functions with profound biological, biochemical, metabolic, and functional modifications. Despite etiology, patient’s nutritional status is pivotal to guide metabolic support. The assessment of nutritional status remains complex and not completely elucidated. Loss of lean body mass is a clear marker of malnutrition; however, the question of how to investigate it still remains unanswered. Several tools have been implemented to measure lean body mass, including a computed tomography scan, ultrasound, and bioelectrical impedance analysis, although such methods unfortunately require validation. A lack of uniform bedside measurement tools could impact the nutrition outcome. Metabolic assessment, nutritional status, and nutritional risk have a pivotal role in critical care. Therefore, knowledge about the methods used to assess lean body mass in critical illnesses is increasingly required. The aim of the present review is to update the scientific evidence regarding lean body mass diagnostic assessment in critical illness to provide the diagnostic key points for metabolic and nutritional support.

Abstract:
Celiac disease (CD) is characterized by clinical polymorphism, with classic, asymptomatic or oligosymptomatic, and extra-intestinal forms, which may lead to diagnostic delay and exposure to serious complications. CD is a multidisciplinary health concern involving general medicine, pediatric, and adult gastroenterology, among other disciplines. Immunology and pathology laboratories have a fundamental role in diagnosing and monitoring CD. The diagnosis consists of serological testing based on IgA anti-transglutaminase (TG2) antibodies combined with IgA quantification to rule out IgA deficiency, a potential misleading factor of CD diagnosis. Positive TG2 serology should be corroborated by anti-endomysium antibody testing before considering an intestinal biopsy. Owing to multiple differential diagnoses, celiac disease cannot be confirmed based on serological positivity alone, nor on isolated villous atrophy. In children with classical signs or even when asymptomatic, with high levels of CD-linked markers and positive HLA DQ2 and/or DQ8 molecules, the current trend is to confirm the diagnosis on basis of the non-systematic use of the biopsy, which remains obligatory in adults. The main challenge in managing CD is the implementation and compliance with a gluten-free diet (GFD). This explains the key role of the dietitian and the active participation of patients and their families throughout the disease-management process. The presence of the gluten in several forms of medicine requires the sensitization of physicians when prescribing, and particularly when dispensing gluten-containing formulations by pharmacists. This underlines the importance of the contribution of the pharmacist in the care of patients with CD within the framework of close collaboration with physicians and nutritionists.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT The analytical determination of nutrient levels in recently mature leaves in order to diagnose nutritional status is based on the fact that leaves are metabolically active and more sensitive to variation in nutrients of the soil. In most of cases, there is a direct well known between foliar content and the development and yield of the plant. However, for a more accurate interpretation, it is essential to establish the index leaf. There are few published studies about Jatropha with contrasting results. In order to establish the index leaf, in adult plants, the macronutrient levels were evaluated in samples collected in experimental plots, in which doses of nitrogen and phosphorus were applied, in two parts of the floral branches (in the top and in the middle thirds); and in three positions of leaves of the floral branch (between the 1st and 3rd, 6th and 8th, and 13th and 15th leaves below the inflorescence). The location of the leaf on the plant significantly affects nutrient contents. Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and sulfur tend to have higher concentration in young tissues. Calcium and magnesium showed higher levels in the basal leaves of floral branches. Samples collected in the top third of plants (between the 6th and 15th leaves of the floral branch) are more sensitive to variations of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilization. Therefore, we indicate the 6th to 15th leaves of the top third plants as index leaves estimate nutritional status of Jatropha.

Abstract:
IntroductionSmall bowel obstruction (SBO) is a common indication for emergency laparotomy in the UK, which is associated with a 90-day mortality rate of 13%. There are currently no UK clinical guidelines for the management of this condition. The aim of this multicentre prospective cohort study is to describe the burden, variation in management and associated outcomes of SBO in the UK adult population.Methods and analysisUK hospitals providing emergency general surgery are eligible to participate. This study has three components: (1) a clinical preference questionnaire to be completed by consultants providing emergency general surgical care to assesses preferences in diagnostics and therapeutic approaches, including laparoscopy and nutritional interventions; (2) site resource profile questionnaire to indicate ease of access to diagnostic services, operating theatres, nutritional support teams and postoperative support including intensive care; (3) prospective cohort study of all cases of SBO admitted during an 8-week period at participating trusts. Data on diagnostics, operative and nutritional interventions, and in-hospital mortality and morbidity will be captured, followed by data validation.Ethics and disseminationThis will be conducted as a national audit of practice in conjunction with trainee research collaboratives, with support from patient representatives, surgeons, anaesthetists, gastroenterologists and a clinical trials unit. Site-specific reports will be provided to each participant site as well as an overall report to be disseminated through specialist societies. Results will be published in a formal project report endorsed by stakeholders, and in peer-reviewed scientific reports. Key findings will be debated at a focused national meeting with a view to quality improvement initiatives.

Abstract:
Granulicatella adiacens is an uncommon culprit in prosthetic joint infections, especially when predisposing factors are absent. Here, we present the case of a 78-year-old female who developed an acute surgical site infection shortly after undergoing left total knee arthroplasty. Despite initial negative cultures, subsequent analysis identified Granulicatella adiacens in the knee fluid, marking only the second reported instance in the United States and the seventh globally. This singular case highlights the considerable challenges associated with isolating this organism, emphasizing its atypical presentation and diagnostic elusiveness. Typically associated with endocarditis and bacteremia, its involvement in isolated surgical site infections is particularly unusual. Our case underscores the necessity for heightened clinical suspicion and the adoption of specialized diagnostic methodologies to accurately detect Granulicatella adiacens infections. Given its fastidious nature and nutritional requirements, standard culture methods may fail to identify this pathogen, necessitating alternative diagnostic approaches. As such, the utilization of specialized media becomes paramount in clinical diagnostics to facilitate appropriate management and optimize healthcare resource allocation. By enhancing our ability to detect and treat infections caused by Granulicatella adiacens, we can mitigate patient morbidity and reduce the burden of unnecessary interventions, thereby improving patient outcomes and healthcare efficiency.

Abstract:
Malnutrition is a common condition in geriatric rehabilitation settings; however, the accuracy and predictive validity of the measures to identify malnutrition have not been established. The current scoping review followed the Joanna Briggs Institute’s evidence synthesis manual and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Extension for Scoping Reviews checklist. Literature published through September 2023 was searched using MEDLINE and CINAHL. The inclusion criteria selected studies reporting malnutrition measures, which include static body weight and weight loss. Identified tools were classified as nutritional screening tools, nutritional assessment tools, or diagnostic criteria. The domains of each tool/criterion and their accuracy and predictive validity were extracted. Fifty-six articles fulfilled the inclusion criteria, and six nutritional screening tools, three nutritional assessment tools, and three diagnostic criteria for malnutrition were identified. These measures consisted of various phenotypes, e.g., weight loss, causes such as inflammation/disease, and risk factors of malnutrition, e.g., functional impairment. The predictive validity of nutritional screening tools (n = 6) and malnutrition diagnostic criteria (n = 5) were inconsistently reported, whereas those for nutritional assessment tools were scarce (n = 1). These findings highlight the need to distinguish the functional impairment of nutritional origin from that of non-nutritional origin in nutritional assessment procedures, and the need to study the accuracy and the predictive validity of these measures in geriatric rehabilitation patients.

Abstract:
The diagnosis and management of food allergy requires attention to several important dietary issues. Successful exclusion of identified dietary allergens requires extensive education regarding the interpretation of ingredient labels of commercial products and an appreciation for issues of cross-contact in settings such as restaurants and commercial manufacturing. Once a food or food group is eliminated, attention must be focused on potential dietary insufficiencies resulting from these exclusions. These dietary issues are also central to the successful use of diagnostic elimination diets and physician-supervised oral food challenges. This review provides a framework for the dietary management of food hypersensitivity in infants and children both for short-term diagnostic and long-term therapeutic purposes. In addition, approaches for maternal dietary restriction for breastfed infants with food allergy and the introduction of solid foods to atopic infants are reviewed.

Abstract:
Cholestasis is associated with various chronic liver diseases both in childhood and in adulthood. Stagnation of bile and its insufficient secretion into the digestive tract cause malabsorption of fats and fat-soluble vitamins. Increased energy requirements and inadequate energy intake lead to eating disorders, which are especially dangerous in childhood. Weight and height deficits in children with cholestasis increase the risk of complications and accelerate the progression of the disease. A comprehensive assessment of nutritional status using all available methods allows timely initiation of correction of the detected disorders. This article presents current approaches to the diagnosis of nutritional status disorders and features of diet therapy in children with chronic liver diseases occurring with cholestasis. Key words: cholestasis, children, malabsorption, diet therapy, nutritional status

Abstract:
Twenty field experiments were conducted to evaluate the response of iceberg lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) to N and evaluate various diagnostic technologies as tools for assessing the N nutritional status of lettuce. Lettuce yields showed a curvilinear response to N in most experiments. Generally, the dry midrib nitrate-N test and the sap nitrate-N test appear to be sensitive indicators of the N nutritional status of lettuce after the folding stage of growth. The chlorophyll meter was not a sensitive indicator of the N nutritional status of lettuce. Preliminary data also show that canopy reflectance, including digital analysis of aerial photographs, is correlated to N nutritional status of lettuce. However, reflectance technologies do not readily distinguish between N deficiencies and other factors (insects, diseases, water stress, etc.) that affect plant biomass and color. Because plant tests do not appear to be sensitive indicators of N nutrition during early growth stages (before folding), a post-thinning (and pre-sidedress) soil nitrate-N test is currently being evaluated.

Abstract:
Malnutrition is a common complication of liver cirrhosis (LC) and is associated with a poor prognosis. Optimal tools for monitoring the nutritional status in LC have not been determined. The aim of the work was to evaluate the diagnostic agreement and prognostic value of the Nutritional Risk Index (NRI) and the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONtrolling NUTritional status, CONUT) score in LC patients. Materials and methods. 161 LC patients (mean age 55.2 ± 11.6 years) were included. 23 patients had LC class A, 57 – class B, and 81 – CTP class C. During the follow-up period (median 489 (interquartile range 293–639) days), 50 patients died of LC complications. The nutritional status of patients was assessed according to the CONUT score and the NRI. The results. Moderate and severe malnutrition was found in 95 and 83 % of class C LC patients according to NRI and CONUT, respectively. Diagnostic agreement between NRI and CONUT was weak (k = 0.306, p ˂ 0.001). The numerical CONUT score predicted the long-term mortality of patients (AUC 0.771, p ˂ 0.001) with an optimal cut-off ≥ 7 points. NRI had a worse predictive ability (AUC 0.673, p ˂ 0.001). Conclusion. The Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score is an acceptable tool for diagnosing malnutrition in LC patients and can predict the long-term mortality of patients. The Nutritional Risk Index (NRI) has low diagnostic agreement with CONUT and lower predictive value.

Abstract:
Nutritional deficiency is quite common in patients with acute stroke. Trophic failure correlates with an increased hospital stay, readmissions, and the incidence of developmental complications and mortality. The nutritional deficiency identification is necessary both in the early and in the long-term period of the disease. The clinical review describes the leading diagnostic methods of assessing nutritional status in patients with acute stroke. The comparative characteristics of the applied rating scales and tests are presented. The somatometric, laboratory, and instrumental indicators of malnutrition, as well as the complex use of diagnostic methods and screening tests, are discussed.

Abstract:
Tooth loss impairs mastication, deglutition and esthetics and affects systemic health through nutritional deficiency, weight loss, muscle weakness, delayed wound healing, and bone fragility. Approximately 90% of tooth loss is due to dental caries and periodontal disease. Accordingly, early treatment of dental caries is essential to maintaining quality of life. To date, the clinical diagnosis of dental caries has been based on each dentist’s subjective assessment, but this visual method lacks objectivity. To improve diagnostic ability, highly sensitive quantitative methods have been developed for the diagnosis and prevention of dental caries and are gradually becoming a mandatory item in modern dentistry. High-resolution Raman spectroscopy is a suitable tool for recognizing the subtle structural changes that occur in dental enamel in already developed or, more importantly, incipient dental caries. Raman analysis could soon emerge as a breakthrough in dentistry because of its high diagnostic sensitivity. In this study, we build upon our previous findings in a new analysis of dental caries using Raman spectroscopy imaging and discuss the possibility of using Raman photonic imaging in support of objective diagnostics in dentistry. Our findings support the Raman method of caries detection in comparison with other conventional or new approaches.

Abstract:
The ongoing worldwide health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which began in Wuhan, China, has led to infections across the globe. Although many vaccines are available, a definitive cure has yet to be found. This study examines methods to lessen the impact of the disease, focusing on preventive actions and strengthening the immune system through diets rich in vitamins and nutrients. Our investigation also considers non-traditional methods, particularly the vital role of early detection in controlling the spread of COVID-19. Accurate diagnostic techniques are essential in this effort. Surprisingly, there is a lack of comprehensive studies on the complex interactions between various vitamins, trace metals, and immunity in relation to COVID-19. Addressing this gap, our review carefully analyzes how diets enriched with vitamin D can boost immunity. Additionally, we explore worldwide challenges that impede the progress of effective and quick diagnostic methods. Our goal is to provide a thorough understanding of the current situation regarding immunity, diagnostic procedures, and treatment approaches for COVID-19. This review not only covers various diagnostic methods for SARS-CoVs but also assesses the effectiveness of different vaccines against COVID-19. Through detailed analysis, we contribute to the ongoing discussion on fighting COVID-19, providing important information for researchers, healthcare workers, and policymakers.

Abstract:
The determination of a range of boron concentration in the soil solution, evaluation of the effect of physico-chemical soil properties on boron concentration in the soil solution as well verification whether boron quantity in the soil solution is sufficient for nutritional needs of selected plants cultivated in Poland were comprised. Average boron concentration in the soil solution of Poland&rsquo;s cultivated soils ranges from 0.59 to 5.07 &micro;mol/L and is differentiated by physico-chemical properties of soil. Taking into account decreasing effects of soil properties on the increase of boron concentration in the soil solution, the soil properties can be arranged as follows: organic C &gt;<br />soil abundance in available boron &gt; soil texture &gt; soil pH. The minimum boron quantity observed in the soil solution of Poland&rsquo;s cultivated soils was not sufficient to fulfil nutritional needs of the plants. The maximum boron quantity observed secured nutritional needs of cereals and potatoes but not those of rape plants and sugar beets. Based on the study it can be concluded that the measurement of the concentration of boron in the soil solution can be used in the diagnosis of deficiency of this element for crops.

Abstract:
The term metabolic syndrome (MetS) defines the cooccurrence of the related risk factors of metabolic origin that promote the development of cardiovascular diseases with atherosclerotic background and type 2 diabetes. The diagnostic criteria of MetS have undergone modifications for years. Until now no clear definition of MetS has been established. The latest diagnostic criteria of MetS published in 2009 by a group of IDF (International Diabetes Federation) and AHA/NHLBI (American Heart Association/ National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute) experts discern three out of five risk factors: abdominal obesity (taking into consideration population differences), elevated level of triglycerides, reduced HDL cholesterol, hypertension and fasting hyperglycemia. Genetic predispositions and environmental factors, such as lack of physical activity and improper diet are considered to be responsible for MetS development. Therefore, prevention and treatment of MetS should be based first of all on a change in modifiable lifestyle factors, among which proper diet is of essential importance.

Abstract:
Abstract Poor starting nursery pigs are a common source of frustration for pork producers due to suboptimal lean tissue production and failure to thrive. This is generally a multifactorial issue with potential nutritional, infectious and management contributors. Commonly encountered respiratory and enteric pathogens include porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), influenza A virus (IAV), porcine enteric coronaviruses (TGEV/PEDV/PDCV), and group A, B, and C rotaviruses, as well as Salmonella typhimurium, enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli, Streptococcus suis, and Haemophilus parasuis. Infection with one or more of these agents can ultimately antagonize pig health and performance. However, while these specific pathogens may be causing an observed disease symptom, pigs may have been predisposed to infection due to various management, nutritional, and environmental risk factors. As many of these potential pathogens are endemic in production systems, it is important to remember that simply detecting a potential pathogen within a population is often not sufficient to assign cause for poor growth and production. To help fully interpret the impact of a detected agent, diagnostic efforts should focus on providing proof that the agent is actually causing disease. Molecular detection methods, such as PCR, are increasingly available for common pathogens and have high diagnostic sensitivity but lower diagnostic specificity. This paper will discuss the clinical signs and gross and microscopic lesions associated with common nursery pig pathogens, as well as proper sampling and diagnostic testing necessary to detect and confirm disease following infection with these agents.

Abstract:
Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) are one of the most economically important plant parasites in the world, and significantly impacts soybean production in places where they are endemic. Several species of root-knot nematode are capable of causing significant damages to soybean and have broad host ranges that include common rotational crops and weeds. Symptoms of root-knot nematode infections may be confused with other diseases, nutritional disorders, or common root features associated with legumes. The purpose of this diagnostic guide is to provide information regarding identification, isolation, storage, and other relevant aspects of this pathosystem.

Abstract:
Malnutrition (undernutrition) in older adults is often not diagnosed before its adverse consequences have occurred, despite the existence of established screening tools. As a potential method of early detection, we examined whether readily available and routinely measured clinical biochemical diagnostic test data could predict poor nutritional status. We combined 2008–2017 data of 1518 free-living individuals ≥50 years from the United Kingdom National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS) and used logistic regression to determine associations between routine biochemical diagnostic test data, micronutrient deficiency biomarkers, and established malnutrition indicators (components of screening tools) in a three-step validation process. A prediction model was created to determine how effectively routine biochemical diagnostic tests and established malnutrition indicators predicted poor nutritional status (defined by ≥1 micronutrient deficiency in blood of vitamins B6, B12 and C; selenium; or zinc). Significant predictors of poor nutritional status were low concentrations of total cholesterol, haemoglobin, HbA1c, ferritin and vitamin D status, and high concentrations of C-reactive protein; except for HbA1c, these were also associated with established malnutrition indicators. Additional validation was provided by the significant association of established malnutrition indicators (low protein, fruit/vegetable and fluid intake) with biochemically defined poor nutritional status. The prediction model (including biochemical tests, established malnutrition indicators and covariates) showed an AUC of 0.79 (95% CI: 0.76–0.81), sensitivity of 66.0% and specificity of 78.1%. Clinical routine biochemical diagnostic test data have the potential to facilitate early detection of malnutrition risk in free-living older populations. However, further validation in different settings and against established malnutrition screening tools is warranted.
