Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the joints. The multifactorial etiopathogenesis of RA has been heavily investigated, but still only partially understood. Diet can represent both risk factor and protective factor, based on some evidence suggests specific properties certain foods their ability to increase/reduce inflammation. To date, studies done this topic provide discordant results are heterogeneous in terms design cohort size. In work, we...
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a debilitating autoimmune condition primarily affecting young adults, and its rise evident globally. Despite this, precise etiology remains elusive. Both genetic environmental factors contribute to MS susceptibility; however, the link between diet lacks substantial evidence due limited large-scale studies. We exploited UK Biobank resources explore nexus diet, lifestyle, risk. The dietary lifestyle habits of incident cases, derived from general food frequency...
Aging is a gradual decline of physiological function and tissue homeostasis and, in many instances, related to increased (neuro)-degeneration, together with inflammation, becoming one the most important risks for developing neurodegenerative diseases. Certain individual nutrients or foods combination may counteract aging associated diseases by promoting balance between pro- anti-inflammatory responses. Thus, nutrition could represent powerful modulator this fine balance, other than...
The Mediterranean diet (MD) and Western (WD) are poles apart as dietary patterns. Despite the availability of epidemiological tools to estimate adherence MD, date, there is a lack combined scores. We developed MEDOC, food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) designed calculate score for both diets validated it on 213 subjects. test–retest reliability revealed all questions falling within acceptable range 0.5 0.7 (Pearson correlation coefficient) in younger (<30 years old) subjects, while 1...
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disorder, hallmarked by the gradual deterioration of motor neurons, culminating in muscle weakness and fatal paralysis. The exact etiology ALS remains elusive, there critical need for reliable biomarkers to aid diagnosis monitoring disease progression. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as promising candidates biomarker discovery diseases such ALS, giving access pathologically relevant tissues otherwise typically challenging...
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a widespread psychiatric condition impacting social and occupational functioning, making it leading cause of disability. The diagnosis MDD remains clinical, based on the Diagnostic Statistical Manual Mental Disorders (DSM)-5 criteria, as biomarkers have not yet been validated for diagnostic purposes or predictors treatment response. Traditional strategies often follow one-size-fits-all approach obtaining suboptimal outcomes many patients who fail to...
