Cover Story: In recent years, the incidence of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), a condition associated with gut microbiota, has risen in Western countries, although the underlying mechanisms are still not well understood. This review examines the connection between gut microbiota and IBD, with a particular focus on the NOD2 pathway, which is essential for immune responses to gut bacteria, as well as the role of Vitamin D. View this paper

Physicochemical Characterization of Fresh and Powdered Tomato in Arba Minch, Ethiopia

Received: 07 January 2025;  Published: 02 June 2025;  doi: 10.21926/rpn.2502013

Abstract

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is the largest vegetable crop produced and consumed in the world. Tomatoes are a top source of Vitamin A and C, contain more dietary fibre, beta-carotene, iron, lycopene, magnesium, niacin, potassium, phosphorus, riboflavin, and thiamine. Tomatoes have a limited shelf life in ambient conditions and are highly perishable. It creates glut during the production season and becomes scanty during the off-season. Short shelf life, coupled with inadequ [...]

The Importance of Specialized Inpatient Medical Stabilization for Weight Restoration of Individuals with Extreme Eating Disorders

Received: 19 December 2024;  Published: 23 May 2025;  doi: 10.21926/rpn.2502012

Abstract

Inpatient care is a significant contributor to the health-care costs associated with the treatment of individuals with eating disorders (EDs). This study seeks to better understand the treatment outcomes of individuals with extreme EDs requiring inpatient medical stabilization at specialized medical versus nonspecialized medical units. Patients transferred via air ambulance to ACUTE Center for Eating Disorders and Severe Malnutrition (specialized care) from an outside hospital (nonspecialized ca [...]

The Contribution of Dietary Fatty Acids to Prediction of All-Cause Mortality in a Cohort of Middle-Aged Men Followed-Up for 61 Years Until Extinction

Received: 09 November 2024;  Published: 19 May 2025;  doi: 10.21926/rpn.2502011

Abstract

To describe the contribution of three classes of dietary fatty acids to all-cause mortality and age at death among middle-aged men followed up for 61 years until extinction. The cohort comprised 1712 men aged 40-59 years at entry examination in 1960, belonging to the Italian Rural Areas of the Seven Countries Study of Cardiovascular Diseases. A dietary survey allowed to estimate dietary fatty acids [saturated (SAFA), mono-unsaturated (MUFA), poly-unsaturated (PUFA) and their ratios (M/S, P/S)] t [...]

Exclusive Enteral Nutrition as an Effective Treatment in Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Received: 17 November 2024;  Published: 13 May 2025;  doi: 10.21926/rpn.2502010

Abstract

In recent years, the incidence of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) has risen significantly in the Western population, pointing toward the potential influence of environmental and dietary factors. In order to explain this, some research on nutritional therapy identifies exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) as a highly effective approach for managing IBD in children. This treatment achieves high remission rates; more specifically, some clinical trials have reported remission rates from 70% to 100%. E [...]

Location, Season and Source Effects on Gross Composition of Raw Cow’s Milk Across Khartoum State, Sudan

Received: 06 April 2024;  Published: 27 April 2025;  doi: 10.21926/rpn.2502009

Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of sources. locations and seasons (late summer and winter) on the chemical composition of cow milk collected from Khartoum State. The samples were collected randomly in the morning or the evening. Two hundred and seventy milk samples were collected from farms (90 samples), groceries (90 samples) and vendors (90 samples) in Khartoum State during the late summer and winter seasons, 135 samples each. The milk samples were kept in cool cracked ice a [...]

The Crucial Role of Vitamin D in Regulating Gut Microbiota in Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Received: 17 November 2024;  Published: 08 April 2025;  doi: 10.21926/rpn.2502007

Abstract

In recent years, there has been an alarming increase in the incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes both Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), particularly in Western countries. This chronic condition is intricately linked to the composition and health of the gut microbiota (GM) — a complex community of microorganisms residing in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Despite extensive research, the underlying pathogenesis of IBD remains poorly understood, making it a [...]

Household Exposure to Secondhand Cigarette Smoke during Pregnancy and Adverse Offspring Health Outcomes in The Gambia: A Cross-Sectional Study

Received: 31 August 2024;  Published: 08 April 2025;  doi: 10.21926/rpn.2502006

Abstract

The adverse effects of maternal passive smoking during pregnancy on offspring health remain understudied in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in The Gambia, where smoke-free regulations are limited. To determine the prevalence of maternal passive smoking (MPS) during pregnancy and investigate its associations with adverse pregnancy outcomes and offspring health complications in The Gambia. A cross-sectional study was conducted in February 2023 among 401 mothers with children under 5 years in urba [...]

Identification of Soybean Components that Prevent the Entry of Influenza Virus

Received: 31 August 2024;  Published: 01 April 2025;  doi: 10.21926/rpn.2502005

Abstract

We have previously demonstrated the anti-influenza virus activity of a soybean extract, indicating the presence of compounds that prevent viral entry into cells. In this study, we sought to identify the compounds in hydrothermal extracts of soybean that blocked viral entrance and analyzed their mechanisms of action. Hot aqueous extracts of roasted soybeans were separated by reverse-phase chromatography on an octadecylsilyl C18 column, and the antiviral activity of individual fractions was measur [...]
