Selenium and Inflammatory Bowel Disease

• Several studies showed that IBD patients have a lower selenium level compared to healthy subjects. Hence, experimental studies mimicking ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease investigated the effect of selenium supplementation on IBD.
• The results  indicated that Selenoproteins can curb the inflammatory response and attenuate oxidative stress.
• Also, Selenium supports protective gut microbiota which indirectly improves management of IBD. In addition Selenium may block some of the predominant tumor genesis pathways proposed in colitis-associated colorectal cancer.

Adipose tissue and Multiple Myeloma

• Standard prognostic markers based on individual characteristics of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) remain scarce.
• Body composition features have often been associated with survival outcomes in different cancers.
• However, A study aim to explore the association of adipose tissue radiodensity with MM prognosis.
• The results indicate that subcutaneous adipose tissue( SAT) radiodensity may serve as a biomarker to predict host-related metabolic and pro-inflammatory milieu, which ultimately correlates with MM prognosis.
