3D printing of wheat starch gels for dysphagia diet: Molecular interaction mechanisms and machine learning-assisted prediction of IDDSI levels.

This study investigated how amylose content and intermolecular interactions regulate the 3D printability, structural properties, water distribution, and swallowing suitability of wheat starch gels for dysphagia patients. Gels containing 26-77% amylose were prepared, and hydrogen bonding or hydrophobic interactions were selectively changed using urea or NaCl. Printing tests showed that 43% amylose ...

Leveraging generative artificial intelligence errors to teach appropriate citation usage.

Educators would benefit from developing course material that increases understanding of generative artificial intelligence (AI). General-purpose large language models (LLMs) popular among students often handle citations incorrectly. These LLMs produce fabricated references referred to as hallucinations and often cite even real citations erroneously. These citation hallucinations and errors offer a...

Gut microbiome composition and functional potential associate with incident type 2 diabetes in 4,685 adults from a Swedish prospective cohort.

Cross-sectional studies link gut microbiome alterations to type 2 diabetes (T2D), but prospective evidence remains limited. We aim to identify taxonom...
