Although water is essential for maintaining life and health, the association of water turnover (WT) with mortality is, to our knowledge, unknown. We aimed to 1) determine the annual mean and variance of WT and 2) evaluate the association between WT and mortality in all 47 prefectures in Japan. ⋯ Our findings indicate large regional and seasonal variations in WT in Japan and that the risk of excess death due to lower WT may be partially explained by physical activity.

Celiac disease (CD) presents formidable challenges, requiring rigorous adherence to a gluten-free diet (GFD) AIM: In this study we probed the impact of GFD on depression in people with CD, analyzing depression prevalence across diverse backgrounds and scrutinizing the distribution of macro- and micronutrients. ⋯ This study delved into the intricate interplay of dietary, mental health, and CD factors, furnishing comprehensive insights and a holistic framework for optimal management strategies for CD patients.

Gut microbiota dysbiosis plays a critical role in malnutrition caused by food intolerance and intestinal inflammation in children, which needs to be addressed. We assessed the efficacy and safety of washed microbiota transplantation (WMT) for gastrointestinal disease-related malnourished children. ⋯ This study indicated that WMT might be effective and safe for improving nutritional status and gastrointestinal symptoms in gastrointestinal disease-related malnourished children at 3-mo follow-up. WMT was expected to be a new therapeutic option for these patients.
