Proposition of decision limits for serum lipids in Brazilian children aged one to 13 years.
CONCLUSION: The DL for the serum lipid levels defined in this study differed from those observed in the current Brazilian and North-American guidelines, especially because it differentiates between the age ranges. Using these DLs in clinical practice will certainly contribute to improve the diagnostic accuracy for dyslipidemia in this population group.

Association between interleukin-10 polymorphisms and CD4+CD25+FOXP3+ T cells in asthmatic children.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that moderate asthma is associated with a higher frequency of the T allele in the SNP rs3024491. In addition, the variant rs3024491 (TT) was associated with a reduction in IL-10 production and an increased percentage of Tregs cells, suggesting possible mechanisms that influence asthma severity.

Fortification of condiments and seasonings with iron for preventing anaemia and improving health
CONCLUSIONS: We are uncertain whether consuming iron-fortified condiments/seasonings reduces anaemia, improves haemoglobin concentration, or improves ferritin concentration. It may reduce ID. Findings about ferritin should be interpreted with caution since its concentrations increase during inflammation. Consuming condiments/seasonings fortified with iron plus other micronutrients may reduce anaemia, and we are uncertain whether this will improve haemoglobin concentration or ferritin concentration. More studies are needed to determine the true effect of iron-fortified condiments/seasonings on preventing anaemia and improvi...
