    Intersection of Precision Nutrition and Bladder Cancer: A Narrative State-of-the-Art Review of Potential Applications and Challenges

    Bladder cancer (BC) is a biologically heterogeneous tumor affected by genetic, metabolic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Recent research indicates that nutrition can change the way urothelial cancer forms by affecting inflammation, oxidative stress, cellular energy, and the epigenome. It can also change the risk of BC and how well treatment works. Simultaneous progress in precision nutrition (PN) and nutriomic profiling—encompassing nutrigenomics, nutrigenetics, nutriepigenetics, metabolomics, and microbiome science—presents novel options to tailor dietary regimens beyond universal guidelines. In this review, we consolidate existing knowledge regarding the nutritional factors influencing BC, outline pertinent principles of PN for BC prevention and survival, and explore how urine proteomics and molecular subtyping facilitate the integration of PN into precision oncology. Our review examines the methodological, bioinformatic, biomarker, and clinical translation challenges that impede the implementation of PN in BC management; these challenges include the need for validated nutritional biomarkers with mechanistic endpoints, interoperable data platforms, and rigorously designed clinical trials. Finally, we emphasize future prospects for PN-guided medical nutrition therapy and dietary models during and after systemic treatment recovery. We propose research priorities that will facilitate the integration of PN-informed individualized dietary plans with medical and surgical approaches in BC treatment, aiming to decrease the costs associated with expensive or excessively aggressive treatment methods, thereby supporting long-term survival care. This review seeks to establish a conceptual framework for the integration of PN into BC management by delineating the opportunities and challenges, hence promoting hypothesis-driven research in a promising yet underexplored domain.

    Adherence to the MIND Diet and Its Effect on Glycemic Parameters in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes: A Cross-Sectional Study; [Tip 2 Diyabetlilerde MIND Diyetine Uyumun Glisemik Parametreler Üzerindeki Etkisi: Kesitsel Bir Çalışma]

    Aim: This study aimed to assess the relationship between Mediterranean-Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diet score and indicators of glucose control and lipid metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 459 patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus aged 20-64 years. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus completed a general information form and anthropometric measures. The MIND diet scores obtained from the MIND diet components form. The biochemical parameters gathered from individuals over the last three months were documented. Results: The mean age and body mass index in the study population were 49.10±10.10 years and 30.62±5.48 kg/m2. Overall, the mean MIND diet score was 8.64±1.75, and 47.10% had high adherence to the MIND diet. A significant difference was found between HbA1c and fasting plasma glucose (FBG) in the MIND groups, as well as a substantial negative association identified among HbA1c, FBG, and MIND scores. Conclusions: This study emphasized the significant incidence of overweight and obesity among Turkish adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Higher adherence to the MIND diet is associated with better glycemic control. Higher MIND diet scores associated with reduced HbA1c and FBG levels. However, no significant associations with the parameters of lipid metabolism were found. By emphasizing nutrient-dense foods and supporting both metabolic and psychological health, the MIND diet may represent a valuable adjunct to conventional diabetes management. Keywords.
