Dietary Fatty Acids and Predementia Syndromes

The Scientific World Journal, 2009
An increasing body of epidemiological evidence suggests that elevated saturated fatty acids (SFA) could have negative effects on age-related cognitive decline (ARCD).

Docosahexaenoic acid synthesis from α-linolenic acid by rat brain is unaffected by dietary n-3 PUFA deprivations⃞

Journal of Lipid Research, 2007
Rates of conversion of α-linolenic acid (α-LNA, 18:3n-3) to docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3) by the mammalian brain and the brain's ability to upregulate these rates during dietary deprivation of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are unknown. To

Neuropsychological and Educational Outcomes in Shwachman–Diamond Syndrome—A Report From the North American Shwachman–Diamond Syndrome Registry

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Shwachman–Diamond syndrome (SDS) is a rare autosomal recessive ribosomopathy characterized by bone marrow failure and multisystem involvement, with emerging evidence of associated neurocognitive impairment. Methods We conducted a retrospective study of 240 individuals with biallelic Shwachman–Bodian–Diamond syndrome (SBDS) mutations

Upregulated liver conversion of α-linolenic acid to docosahexaenoic acid in rats on a 15 week n-3 PUFA-deficient diets⃞

Journal of Lipid Research, 2007
We quantified incorporation rates of plasma-derived α-linolenic acid (α-LNA, 18:3n-3) into “stable” liver lipids and the conversion rate of α-LNA to docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3) in male rats fed, after weaning, an n-3 PUFA-adequate diet (4.6% α ...

Beyond the Document: A Single‐Center Qualitative Study of Survivorship Care Plan Barriers and Opportunities Across Pediatric Oncology Stakeholders

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Survivorship care plans (SCPs) summarize cancer treatment and guide risk‐based follow‐up for cancer survivors, yet remain difficult to create, share, and use. Stakeholder perspectives are needed to inform usable approaches.

Low liver conversion rate of α-linolenic to docosahexaenoic acid in awake rats on a high-docosahexaenoate-containing diet

Journal of Lipid Research, 2006
We quantified the rates of incorporation of α-linolenic acid (α-LNA; 18:3n-3) into “stable” lipids (triacylglycerol, phospholipid, cholesteryl ester) and the rate of conversion of α-LNA to docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22: 6n-3) in the liver of awake male ...

Early Body Mass Index z‐Score Change and Resolution of Severe Malnutrition in Children With Sickle Cell Anemia in a Low‐Income Setting: A Prospective Single‐Arm Extension Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Children with sickle cell anemia (SCA) in low‐income settings are at risk of severe malnutrition, but optimal nutritional management has not been established. We evaluated an intensified ready‐to‐use therapeutic food (RUTF) regimen in children with persistent severe malnutrition after initial treatment and assessed whether early ...

Extracellular-derived calcium does not initiate in vivo neurotransmission involving docosahexaenoic acid

Journal of Lipid Research, 2010
In vitro studies show that docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) can be released from membrane phospholipid by Ca2+-independent phospholipase A2 (iPLA2), Ca2+-independent plasmalogen PLA2 or secretory PLA2 (sPLA2), but not by Ca2+-dependent cytosolic PLA2 (cPLA2 ...

Central Nervous System Tumors Among Infants in Canada: A Report From CYP‐C

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Central nervous system (CNS) tumors in infants are rare, pose unique clinical challenges, and lack large‐scale evidence‐based data to guide management. This study seeks to describe CNS tumors in Canadian infants and to compare their outcomes with those of older children.
