Consumption of vegetables potentially benefits bone
Increased fruit and vegetable consumption is associated with a greater reduction in oxidative capacity and inflammation due to their phytochemicals with antioxidant properties and anti-inflammatory effects
Increased vegetable intake according to Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) may be beneficial to bone health, finds a new study. Consuming vegetables at the DGA recommended amount increased urinary pH, decreased urinary acid and Mg excretion, and decreased the serum concentration of the bone resorption marker CTX. It at least transiently improves bone physiology and may benefit bone health in overweight or obese adults.

Blood sugar levels to predict prognosis in sepsis patients
Sepsis, being one of the severe illnesses, is usually encountered in critically sick patients, particularly when diabetes is present.
According to the findings of a new study, admission blood sugar, particularly in terms of 70 mg/dl, is the main signal in predicting the lower 30-day survival probability of septic patients without diabetes. The findings of this study were published in the journal Frontiers in Medicine.

Kids with Developmental Coordination Disorder
Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is characterized by motor problems including significant difficulties in language, reading, arithmetic, and perceptual skills compared to their peers. Researchers Baskaran et al have now shown that these children with DCD are also at an increased risk of mental health difficulties as assessed by Health-related Quality of Life (HRQOL) scale used in their study that is now published in Indian Journal of Psychiatry.
Prevalence of DCD has been estimated to be 3.8% in 9–14-year- old children. Previous reports state that 58% of DCD adults aged around 22 years are suffering from anxiety and personality disorders. However, till date, very little is known concerning the impact on HRQOL in DCD children.
