[Are there any nutritional deficiencies in the Mediterranean Diet?].

The Mediterranean diet has been described as a model from a nutritional and sanitary point of view due to the proportion in which it includes all the food groups. Nevertheless, in the last few years changes in lifestyle have triggered a move away from the recommended intakes in relation to several nutrients. The intake of cereals and vegetables has decreased particularly, while the intake of fats and animal products has increased. The reduced energy expenditure associated with a sedentary lifestyle and the quest for beauty in the form of thinness led to a restricted energy intake. All these changes make it even more difficult to ensure adequate intakes of vitamins and minerals. The Spanish population has problems particularly with vitamins A, D, E, B2, B6 and folic acid, as well as with intake of minerals, which is below recommended values. This problem is most clearly seen in certain groups: women, the elderly, children, gestating and lactating women, ill people, smokers and those under regular medication. Knowing the extent of this reality can be the first step towards the introduction of correcting measures or to initiate campaigns to inform the consumer about the necessary changes in the diet and about the characteristics of the Mediterranean diet which are being lost and should be restored.

Diet and periodontitis.

The importance of diet in maintaining optimum body health is well recognized. An unhealthy diet has been implicated as a risk factor for several chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes and certain cancers. The relationship between diet and periodontitis is not clear. The purpose of this article is to critically review the available literature and to shed new light on the impact of the overall diet on the prevalence and severity of chronic periodontitis in a given population.

[Role of vitamin deficiency in pancytopenia in Djibouti. Findings in a series of 81 consectutive patients].

The purpose of this study of patients with pancytopenia in Republic of Djibouti was to identify etiologic factors and attempt to define diagnostic and therapeutic strategies adapted to local conditions. Clinical, biological and radiological assessment was performed in 81 patients hospitalized for pancytopenia. There were 56 men and 25 women. Mean hemoglobin, leukocyte and platelet rates were 56,5 +/- 22,7 g/l, 2,1 +/- 0,7.g/l and 56,2 +/- 24,7 g/l respectively. Vitamin deficiency was the most common cause of pancytopenia (49%), followed by hypersplenism (9%), HIV infection (6%) and leishmaniasis (6%). Vitamin-deficient patients had significantly more severe anemia and thrombopenia and significantly higher mean corpuscular volume than patients with pancytopenia related to other causes. Hemoglobin rate lower than 40 g/L and platelet rate lower than 35 G/L showed a positive predictive values of 90% and 100% respectively for a vitamin deficient pancytopenia. Vitamin deficiency is the most frequent etiology of pancytopenia and causes the most severe cytopenia in Djibouti. Rapid vitamin supplementation after minimal etiologic assessment including a myelogram is an effective treatment strategy for this public health problem.

[General use of vitamin supplementation].

Current scientific wisdom has it that the general supplementation with vitamins is unnecessary. For certain risk groups, such as infants, pregnant women and the aged,the prophylactic administration of vitamins may be useful. Otherwise,vitamin supplementation of the diet may have a positive impact on health at most in persons with a suboptimal vitamin supply via their usual nutrients. A supplementation should be preceded by a history-taking (e.g. via a dietary protocol). Over the long-term, pharmacological doses of vitamins can give rise to adverse side effects.

[Vitamin metabolism and status in patients with gastrointestinal diseases].

Principle differences in vitamin C, B2, B6, A, E and carotenoids sufficiency of healthy suffering from gastrointestinal diseases (gastric and duodenal ulcer, chronic gastritis, dyskinesia bile tracts) ulc adults and children has not been determined by means of the statistic analysis including such parameters as median, mode, insufficiency frequency, curves of vitamin blood plasma concentration distribution. Polyhypovitaminosis frequency among patients is a result of low vitamin content in reduced diets but not reflect vitamin metabolism alteration.
