Vitamins D and C were the most frequently searched vitamin types in Turkey and worldwide. It was determined that searches consisting of a combination of COVID-19 and vitamins were made.
 
  Vitamins attract public interest globally. Seasonal variation and COVID-19 shaped the popularity of vitamins both worldwide and in Turkey. The search frequency was highest in the autumn and spring, but the largest search related to all search terms was determined to be in March 2020. Interest in vitamins has increased since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.

  The aim of this study was to estimate the incidence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in individuals with a healthy weight (HWI), normal weight obesity (NWO), or overweight/obesity (OWO).
 
  In all, 787 adults belonging to a 1978/1979 birth cohort from Ribeirão Preto were placed into one of three groups HWI (body mass index [BMI] ≥18.5 and <25 kg/m
  +∑skinfolds ≤90th percentile); NWO (BMI ≥18.5 and <25 kg/m
  +∑skinfolds >90th percentile); and OWO (BMI ≥25 kg/m
  +∑skinfolds >90th percentile). Those diagnosed with MetS at the 23 to 25 y of age were excluded according to Joint Interim Statement criteria. The incidence of MetS and its components in individuals 37 to 39 y of age was evaluated by Poisson regression with robust estimation of variance, which was adjusted for family income; physical activity level; and daily intake of calories, lipids, and added sugar.
 
  MetS was detected in 279 adults at 37 to 39 y of age. NWO and OWO individuals showed higher risk ratios (RRs) for the development of MetS (RR,1.87; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.36-2.57; RR, 1.61; 95% CI, 1.29-2.03), increased blood glucose levels (RR, 1.77; 95% CI, 1.12-2.79; RR, 1.51; 95% CI, 1.12-2.04), and increased waist circumferences (RR, 1.46; 95% CI, 1.32-1.61; RR, 1.50; 95% CI, 1.38-1.62). There was a higher risk for increased blood pressure (RR, 1.72; 95% CI, 1.35-2.19) among OWO individuals, but not among those with NWO.
 
  Individuals with NWO have a risk ratio for MetS similar to individuals with OWO. This demonstrates the need to assess body fat percentages, even in BMI-designated normal weight individuals, both for prevention and management of obesity.

Current treatment protocols may cause numerous adverse effects. Selenium is known for its putative antiinflammatory properties. Selenium is needed for the biosynthesis of enzymatically active selenoproteins, which contribute to antioxidative defense, and effective function of immune systems. Several studies have shown that patients with IBD 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. Previous studies indicated the following 1) Selenoproteins can curb the inflammatory response and attenuate oxidative stress. This antiinflammatory property caused remission in animal models of colitis. 2) Selenium supports protective gut microbiota, which indirectly improves management of IBD. 3) Selenium may block some of the predominant tumorigenesis pathways proposed in colitis-associated colorectal cancer. 4) Selenium supplementation showed promising results in preliminary clinical studies, particularly in patients with selenium deficiency. While selenium supplementation seems to be beneficial for IBD, clinical studies have remained too preliminary in this regard. Randomized clinical trials are needed to measure the short-term and long-term effects of selenium on both active and quiescent IBD, particularly in patients with IBD who have documented selenium deficiency.Peripheral neuropathy is seen in 15% of patients with IgA monoclonal gammopathy. Treatment and prognosis of dysproteinemic neuropathy is usually guided by the underlying plasma cell disorders, which could be either benign or malignant. The true incidence of hematologic malignancy in patients with neuropathy associated with IgA monoclonal gammopathy is not known. However, patients with IgA M-protein are generally at increased risk for malignant transformation. Since neuropathy may be the first and only organ involvement, neurologists are key contributors in identifying each patient's plasma cell dyscrasia. We report two patients who presented with severe progressive polyneuropathy, had a detectable low-level IgA lambda paraproteinemia dismissed as incidental. Both were diagnosed later with a combination of malignant plasma cell dyscrasia and AL amyloidosis resulting in multiorgan failure and death. Both patients demonstrated red flags for malignant progression including abnormal serum free light chain, rapidly progressive debilitating neuropathy refractory to immunotherapy, prominent autonomic dysfunction, and weight loss. In summary, patients with IgA monoclonal gammopathy presenting with polyneuropathy can be at risk for malignant transformation. Failure to investigate for hematologic malignancy and AL amyloidosis may cause significant delays in treatment and result in fatal outcomes.Photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes by sunlight can greatly simplify the catalytic devices and save the cost. The development of photocatalysts for organic pollutants degradation driven by sunlight at room temperature still faces serious challenges. In this work, we developed a novel Pd-W18O49 nanowire photocatalyst for high efficiency, high stability, and sunlight-induced degradation of methylene blue and neutral red. It was found that after Pd introducing, the band gap energy of W18O49 nanowires lowers from 2.77 to 2.44 eV, which can accelerate the electron jump from the valence band to the conduction band, resulting in the efficient separation of electrons and holes. Meanwhile, with Pd introducing to the W18O49 nanowires, interfacial heterojunction with the Schottky barrier is formed, which can reduce the rate of electron-hole recombination. The catalytic results show that the obtained Pd-W18O49 nanowires demonstrate enhanced photodegradation capacity in comparison with W18O49 nanowires. Especially, with Pd-W18O49 nanowires (10 mg) as photocatalyst, 98.
