Throughout history, humans have consumed wheat simply to obtain
energy from its starch and protein. In recent years, however,
additional health-related benefits to wheat consumption have been
discovered. In Advances in Health and Disease. Volume 7, the
authors open by presenting the results of a randomized clinical
trial that show wheat intake improves cognition. The trial was
initiated based on the results showing that wheat supplementation
improves memory in rodent models of Alzheimer's disease and
vascular dementia. Next, this collection reviews the most recent
findings regarding to colorectal cancer risk factors. Colorectal
cancer onset is related to mutations in specific genes whose
etiology may vary. According to the origin of those mutations, risk
factors of colorectal cancer can be divided into modifiable and
non-modifiable. Keratoconus, the most common corneal ectasia, is
also discussed. It is usually diagnosed during puberty with most of
the diagnoses being between 10 and 20 years old, and men tend to be
more affected than women. Current studies show that keratoconus has
a multifactorial origin mixing genetic and environmental influence.
Following this, the authors propose that strength training in youth
needs to carefully consider specific needs, goals and interests of
the pediatric population along with their physical and
psychological uniqueness. Additionally, key characteristics of
strength training for children and adolescents at various
maturational stages are described, along with information on
practical implementation in different settings. This collection
also analyzes several publications on microcirculation disorders in
diabetes mellitus (DM) which restrict the introduction of methods
for noninvasive assessing microcirculation in clinical practice.
Ways to increase the diagnostic significance of Laser Doppler
Flowmetry for non-invasive assessment of microcirculation in
patients with DM are discussed. Several protocols were developed in
the early and middle 19th century in order to modulate the shape of
the iris or to create scar tissue at the cone in order to treat
keratoconus. However, the authors propose that the first major
revolution in the surgical management of these patients came with
keratoplasty, as previous interventions showed unreliable and
contradictory results and were gradually abandoned. In conclusion,
the authors discuss Rosmarinus officinalis, commonly known as
rosemary, a woody, perennial herb with evergreen, needle-like
fragrant leaves and white, pink, purple, or blue flowers, native to
the Mediterranean region. Rosemary extracts are used in food
additives; and in traditional medicine, they have been observed to
contain anti-tumor, antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.
