“…Thiamin, an essential micro-nutrient, is a key cofactor in glucose metabolism; therefore, thiamin deficiency alters energy metabolism. During pregnancy, lactation, and neonatal periods, growing fetuses and infants are especially vulnerable to thiamin deficiency [48]. Thiamin deficiency during pregnancy increases the risk of neurological damage to the infant and among pregnant diabetic women; research shows that thiamin supplementation could reduce the risk of infant low birth weight [49].…”

Nutrient-dense, acceptable foods are needed in low-resource settings. Rice bran, a global staple byproduct of white rice processing, is rich in amino acids, fibers, and vitamins, when compared to other cereal brans. This pilot study examines the nutritional contribution of rice bran to the daily diets of mother–child pairs in rural southwest Guatemala. Thirty households were screened. Mothers (≥18 years) and children (6 to 24 months) completed 24 h dietary recalls at baseline and after 12 weeks (endline) for diet intake and diversity analyses. During biweekly visits for 12 weeks, households with <5 members received 14 packets containing 60 g of heat-stabilized rice bran, and those with ≥5 members received 28 packets. The macro- and micro-nutrient contributions of rice bran and whole, cooked black beans were included in dietary simulation models with average intakes established between the recalls and for comparison with dietary reference intakes (DRIs). A baseline child food frequency questionnaire was administered. The 27 mothers and 23 children with complete recalls were included in analyses. Daily maternal consumption of 10 g/d of rice bran plus 100 g/d of black beans resulted in all achieving at least 50% of the fiber, protein, magnesium, niacin, potassium, and thiamin DRIs. Daily child consumption of 3 g/d of rice bran plus 10 g/d of black beans resulted in all achieving at least 50% of the magnesium, niacin, phosphorous, and thiamine DRIs. For 15/17 food categories, male children had a higher intake frequency, notably for animal-source foods and coffee. Dietary rice bran coupled with black beans could improve nutritional adequacy, especially for fiber and key micro-nutrients, with broader implications for addressing maternal and child malnutrition in low-resource settings.

Bariatric surgery is increasingly used in women of childbearing age due to the rising prevalence of obesity and the effectiveness and availability of this treatment. Pregnancy in women with previous bariatric surgery deserves special attention. Weight loss induced by surgery reduces the risks that obesity poses to pregnancy. But on the other hand, decreased intake and malabsorption may increase the risk of malnutrition and micronutrient deficiency and negatively affect maternal and foetal health. The aim of this narrative review is to provide an updated analysis of the impact of different bariatric surgery techniques on mineral and micronutrient nutritional status during pregnancy and the possible effect on maternal–foetal health.

Thiamine is the first water-soluble vitamin to be discovered that acts as a cofactor of several important enzymes. Vitamin B1 plays an essential role in obtaining energy in carbohydrates metabolism and substrates production which are further used as neurotransmitters, nucleic acids, and coenzymes. The aim of this work was to give a summary of various aspects related to thiamine including a rich history of the discovery, synthesis, role in human organism, mechanism of action and also the consequences of its insufficient intake leading to beriberi disease. The study takes into consideration pharmaceutical aspects like main sources of vitamin B1, its absorption, nutrient recommendations, interaction with drugs and the variety of formulations available in treating its deficiency. Understanding the role of vitamin B1 in cellular metabolism shows its significance in maintaining health and emphasizes the importance of ensuring adequate dietary intake to maintain the proper functioning of the nervous and cardiovascular systems. Although thiamine deficiency is less common in developed countries, it can be still observed due to poor diet intake, alcoholism, and certain medical conditions which reduce absorption, e.g. celiac disease. Overall, all mentioned aspects make the problem of its deficiency still present and important. Performing an overview of various aspects related to thiamine deficiency can help to properly diagnose or even to prevent an insufficient intake of vitamin B1 among patients with specific medical conditions.
