In Egypt, the double burden of malnutrition and rising overweight and obesity in adults mirrors the transition to westernized diets and a growing reliance on energy-dense, low-nutrient foods. This study utilized the trials of improved practices (TIPs) methodology to gain an understanding of the cultural beliefs and perceptions related to feeding practices of infants and young children 0-23 months of age and used this information to work in tandem with 150 mothers to implement feasible solutions to feeding problems in Lower and Upper Egypt. The study triangulated in-depth interviews (IDIs) with mothers participating in TIPs, with IDIs with 40 health providers, 40 fathers and 40 grandmothers to gain an understanding of the influence and importance of the role of other caretakers and health providers in supporting these feeding practices. Study findings reveal high consumption of junk foods among toddlers, increasing in age and peaking at 12-23 months of age. Sponge cakes and sugary bi...

T helper 2 (Th2) lymphocytes, the key effector cells in pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis (AD), express CCR4 receptors. CCR4 ligands (macrophage-derived chemokine 'MDC' and thymus and activation-regulated chemokine 'TARC') direct trafficking and recruitment of Th2 cells into lesional skin in AD. These chemokines appear to be useful inflammatory markers for assessing severity of AD in adults. However, the same results have not been replicated in children. Therefore, we were stimulated to elucidate the expression of CCR4 ligands in children with AD and their relation to clinical disease severity. To investigate this, serum concentrations of CCR4 ligands were determined in 60 children, of whom 30 had AD and 30 were healthy matched subjects. Patients were classified into mild (n = 8), moderate (n = 12) and severe (n = 10) according to the objective scoring AD (obj-SCORAD) index. Serum concentrations of MDC and TARC were significantly increased in children with AD (2697 +/- 982.6 pg/ml and 945.5 +/- 494.7 pg/ml, respectively) compared with controls (357.2 +/- 233.2 pg/ml and 214.2 +/- 116.6 pg/ml, respectively, p < 0.0001). Serum levels of both chemokines went hand in hand with disease severity as they were significantly higher in severe than moderate and in moderate than mild AD. In addition, they correlated positively with obj-SCORAD (r = 0.99 for both, p < 0.0001). Furthermore, both chemokines had significant positive correlations to blood eosinophil counts and serum immunoglobulin E. In conclusion, serum CCR4 ligands may be useful inflammatory markers for assessing AD severity in children. Further studies may pave way for CCR4 ligands antagonism among the adjuvant therapeutic strategies of AD.

Agaricus blazei Murill is one of the very popular edible medicinal mushrooms. The present study investigated the protective effect of this biologically active mushroom on the tissue peroxidative damage and abnormal antioxidant levels in carbon tetrachloride induced hepatotoxicity in male albino rats. Male albino rats of Sprague-Dawley strain weighting (120-150 g) were categorized into five groups. The first group served as the normal control, the second and the third groups were treated with Agaricus blazei Mushroom extract and carbon tetrachloride dose, respectively. Fourth group (protective group) was first treated with Agaricus blazei Mushroom extract followed by carbon tetrachloride treatment and fifth (therapeutic group) with carbon tetrachloride first followed by Agaricus blazei Mushroom treatment. The wet fruiting bodies of mushroom Agaricus blazei Murill, crushed and suspended in distilled water was administered orally to the treated groups of male albino rats. The activities of various enzymes (aspartate and alanine transaminase, lactate dehydrogenase, glutathione reductase), levels of non-enzymatic antioxidants (glutathione, vitamin C, vitamin E) and level of lipid peroxidation (malondialdehyde) were determined in the serum of all the experimental animals. Decrease in all the enzymes and non-enzymatic antioxidant, along with an increase in the lipid peroxidative index (malondialdehyde) was found in all the carbon tetrachloride treated rats as compared with normal controls. Also increase level of non-enzymatic antioxidant along with the decrease level in malondialdehyde was found in all experimental animals which were treated with Agaricus blazei Mushroom extract as compared with normal controls. The findings indicate that the extract of Agaricus blazei Murill can protect the liver against carbon tetrachloride induced oxidative damage in rats and is an efficient hepatoprotective and antioxidant agent against carbon tetrachloride induced liver injury.

Alzheimer's disease is growing in prevalence worldwide. Though many Western countries have developed programs of surveillance and care around Alzheimer's disease and dementia, certain regions of the world are beginning to recognize the magnitude of the disease burden in the general population. In the Middle East, there is growing awareness of the burden of Alzheimer's disease and how it impacts health economics, care delivery, and research. Here we summarize the proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Alzheimer's Disease in the Middle East. We had speakers from 20 countries updating the audience on progress toward improving healthcare and research related to AD in this region of the world.
