High‐Sugar Diet and Intestinal Diseases: A Shared Microbiota–Barrier–Immunity–Metabolism Axis in Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Food Allergy, and Colorectal Cancer

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global incidence of intestinal diseases—including food allergy, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and colorectal cancer (CRC)—continues to escalate in parallel with the expansion of the “Western diet,” within which the high‐sugar diet (HSD) has emerged as a pivotal yet under‐recognized dietary driver.

Food Security Versus Environmental Health: The Nitrogen Dilemma

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nitrogen is an essential element for plant growth and, consequently, crop production. However, the cycling of nitrogen in the environment can have negative effects. Here, we review the historical development of scientific and public awareness of these effects and the influence this has had on political action to control them.

Toxicity Differences Between Microplastics and Nanoplastics in Organs: From Molecular Mechanisms to Potential Therapeutic Strategies

Med Research, EarlyView.
This review systematically compares the size‐dependent toxicity of microplastics and nanoplastics in the intestine, liver, kidney, lung, and brain. Particle size determines bioavailability, barrier penetration, and injury mechanisms. Because of their small size and high surface reactivity, NPs readily cross the intestinal epithelium and blood–brain ...

This study evaluates the significance of this morphology, traditionally attributed to extant and extinct hyena ...

Atopic dermatitis and attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder comorbidity in children and adolescents: Epidemiology, mechanisms, and clinical management

Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
This review synthesizes epidemiological evidence linking atopic dermatitis to attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder in children, proposes an “inflammation‐itch‐neurobehavioral axis” integrating sleep disruption, neuroendocrine dysregulation, and emerging neuro‐immune circuits, and outlines multidisciplinary management strategies targeting both skin ...
