... Collectively, it appears that although MNT can aid in improving JIA prognosis, the number of studies delivering dietary interventions remains low. More recently, the importance of nutrition in JIA has been acknowledged, with a couple of reviews and opinion papers being published [200,201], although the present work consists of the most comprehensive review conducted to date. In parallel, patients and health providers would greatly benefit from the development of specific nutrition and lifestyle guidelines for the management of JIA. ...
... Diabetics show a major sign of polyphagia and frequent food cravings. Millets reduce the duration of gastric emptying to maintain constant postprandial body glucose homeostasis [47]. Polyphenolic ligands have an inhibitory effect on alpha-glucosidase and pancreatic amylases to reduce postprandial hyperglycemia by inhibiting the enzyme hydrolysis of complex carbohydrates [48,49]. ...
... There has been a limited number of studies investigating the impact of the MIND diet specifically in PD-associated NMS [25,26,30]. To our knowledge, no studies have compared the effects of MEDI and MIND diet adherence on motor and non-motor symptom severity. ...
... It is important to emphasize that the reviewed studies generally present results regarding a specific nutrient or restrictive diet in relation to body recovery and reducing inflammation in JIA patients. Moreover, the impact of nutrition is difficult to assess and interpret in children and adolescents, particularly those with JIA, due to family influence, dietary regulation, and data collection [79]. However, the importance of a healthy and adequate diet is recognized in JIA patients' development, growth, and health maintenance. ...
... Improved general health predisposes for later retirement at the population level 3 , which paradoxically increases the risk of interference of PD on the ability to work 4,5 . It is evident from PD-related research on workforce participation that not only worsened manual dexterity, but also anxiety, sleeping difficulties, and difficulties eating or drinking are factors that contribute to leaving work early 6 . The results point to fatigue 7 , rigidity/bradykinesia, and stress intolerance as particularly detrimental to the working ability 2 . ...
... Cocoa being well received by people with Parkinson's makes it a better product to be provided as an aid. Another study found improved fatigability in Parkinson's-affected people after consuming flavonoid-rich cocoa [34]. ...
... Different neuroglial cell subsets and states could exert different, and even opposite functions, making it important to identify those subsets and states specifically involved in ME/CSF for the future development of therapies targeting contextually relevant functions. In this context review and further study of empirical or anecdotally successful ME/CFS therapies that target glia, such as minocycline (Plane et al., 2010;Miwa, 2021;Numata, 2021), aripiprazole (Segnitz et al., 2009;Yoneyama et al., 2014;Crosby et al., 2021), low dose naltrexone (Cabanas et al., 2021), ketogenic diet (Cossington et al., 2019), ketamine (Chang et al., 2009), vagal stimulation (Clancy et al., 2014;Meneses et al., 2016;Rodriguez et al., 2020;Namgung et al., 2022), and noninvasive transcranial neurostimulation (Gómez et al., 2021;Sabel et al., 2021;Workman et al., 2021) may be informative. Therapies that indirectly affect the innate CNS immune response, including staphylococcal vaccine (Zachrisson et al., 2002(Zachrisson et al., , 2004, Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine (Blok et al., 2015;Sánchez-Ramón et al., 2018), rintatolimod (Strayer et al., 2020) and stellate ganglion block should also be considered (Lipov et al., 2020;Liu and Duricka, 2022). ...
... Second, activity and fatigue are impossible to disentangle; for instance low activity may represent a period of deliberate pacing or recovery to improve symptoms and high activity is more likely to occur during a spell of low symptom burden. Third, weak or absent associations between activity and fatigue have also been observed in intensive longitudinal studies of other conditions including osteoarthritis [50] and multiple sclerosis [51]. Finally, while we observed delayed increase in symptoms following peak activity in a few patients, based on a single peak, we were not able to examine the effects of multiple or overlapping activity peaks. ...
... The majority of the studies originated from Australia (n = 7), one of these recruited from Australia and New Zealand with another from the USA and Australia [26][27][28][29][30][31][32]. The remaining studies recruited participants from the USA (n = 3) [28,33,34], UK (n = 2) [35,36], Netherlands (n = 2) [37,38], Ireland (n = 1) [39], and Canada (n = 1) [40]. The papers were published between 2015 and 2022, with the majority being published in 2021 (n = 7) [26-28, 32, 35, 38, 39]. ...
... Such limits reduced access to food and elevated issues related to dietary intake. The issue of junk food became a common phenomenon among the population in lockdown because of reduced access to fresh food (Bennett, Young, Butler & Coe, 2021). Anxiety reported during lockdowns increases the risk of consuming sugary foods and causing energy imbalance because of reduced energy expenditure during the pandemic. ...
