This study aims to evaluate the causal relationship between vitamin D levels and the risk of different types of leukemia through a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. Methods: data from large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were used, and genetic variants associated with vitamin D were selected as instrumental variables. The relationship between vitamin D levels and the risk of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) was examined. The inverse variance weighted (IVW) method was applied as the primary analytical approach. Heterogeneity was assessed through Cochran's Q test, pleiotropy was evaluated using the MR-Egger intercept, and sensitivity analyses were performed to ensure the robustness of the results. Results: MR analysis showed a significant inverse association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and the risk of CML (OR = 0.44, 95 % CI: 0.25-0.78, p = 0.005), suggesting a potential protective effect of vitamin D against CML. No significant causal relationships were found between vitamin D levels and the risks of AML, ALL, or CLL. Sensitivity analyses supported the robustness of these findings, with no evidence of heterogeneity or pleiotropy. Conclusion: the findings indicate that higher vitamin D levels may reduce the risk of CML, while the effects on other types of leukemia require further investigation.

Objective: to evaluate nutritional risk by STAMP screening in pediatric patients according to type of congenital heart disease. Material and methods: an analytical cross-sectional study in 2023 in a pediatric reference hospital. Nutritional status was determined by Z scores based on WHO 2006/CDC 2000 child growth standards.

It has been demonstrated that there is a correlation between the increase in bacterial abundance and the severity of certain symptoms associated with PD. Aim: the aim of this pilot study was to analyze the effect of supplementation with prebiotic fiber on the gut microbiota (GM) and nutritional status of elderly volunteers with Parkinson's disease. Methodology: this is a pilot study of pre and post intervention with prebiotic fiber. All subjects involved were volunteers with PD, who were given nutritional counseling and gut microbiota measured on time cero and after 30 days of prebiotic fiber intervention. Results: a statistically significant difference was found in calf circumference (p 0.0422) after the intervention with prebiotic fiber. GM analyses show an initial difference in gut bacterial abundance of older people with PD and people without PD. Furthermore, our results showed a difference in bacterial families and genera after the supplementation with prebiotic fiber. in addition, we found a statistically significant difference in the val-ue of circumference calf and a trend in the improvement of body weight, Body mass index (BMI), neck circumference, arm circumference, brachial area, and Diet Quality Questionnaire (DQQ) for older adults. Conclusion: supplementation with 20 g of prebiotic fiber for 30 days could modify the intestinal microbiota, reducing bacterial genera and phylum that are abundant in Park-inson's disease, such as Verrucomicrobia.

Methods: a cross-sectional and multicenter study conducted with 226 individuals aged 5 to 17 years from two municipalities in the Southeast and South regions of Brazil. BF% was assessed by bioimpedancemetry. The association between BMI and TMI with BF% was assessed using generalized additive models. ROC curve analyzes were performed to verify the accuracy of BMI and TMI in detecting high adiposity. The areas under the curve (AUC) of BMI and TMI were compared using non-parametric analysis. The TMI cutoff points were obtained using Youden's J index. Results: bioimpedancemetry detected high BF% in 54.1 % (95 % confidence interval [CI], 44.8-63.2) of boys and 63.5 % (95 % CI, 54.5-71.9) of girls. TMI was able to predict BF% better than BMI in males, presenting a higher R-square (0.737 versus 0.646, respectively).
