Dietary pattern, serum magnesium, ferritin, C-reactive protein and anaemia among older people.

Clinical nutrition (Edinburgh, Scotland)
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Epidemiological data of dietary patterns and anaemia among older Chinese remains extremely scarce. We examined the association between dietary patterns and anaemia in older Chinese, and to assess whether biomarkers of serum magnesi...

Selenium supplementation has beneficial and detrimental effects on immunity to influenza vaccine in older adults.

Clinical nutrition (Edinburgh, Scotland)
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Mortality resulting from influenza (flu) virus infections occurs primarily in the elderly through declining immunity. Studies in mice have suggested beneficial effects of selenium (Se) supplementation on immunity to flu but similar...

Family income per capita, age, and smoking status are predictors of low fiber intake in residents of São Paulo, Brazil.

Nutrition research (New York, N.Y.)
We hypothesized that dietary total fiber intake may be less than recommendations and that the intake of total, soluble, and insoluble fiber may be associated with demographic, lifestyle, and socioeconomic factors. Data were drawn from the Health Surv...

Indices of dietary fat quality during midpregnancy is associated with gestational diabetes.

Nutrition (Burbank, Los Angeles County, Calif.)
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and the usual intake of fatty acids and indices of dietary fat quality [the atherogenicity (AI) and thrombogenicity indices (TI), and the ratios of hypo-and hyperc...

The effect of the toxic dinoflagellate on the fitness of the calanoid copepod .

Harmful algae
Inshore and offshore waters of the Gulf of Maine (USA) have spring/summer harmful algal blooms (HABs) of the toxic dinoflagellate , which is responsible for paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) in humans. The calanoid copepod co-occurs with during t...

Assessing the feasibility of a mobile health-supported clinical decision support system for nutritional triage in oncology outpatients using Arden Syntax.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
BACKGROUND: Nutritional screening procedures followed by regular nutrition monitoring for oncological outpatients are no standard practice in many European hospital wards and outpatient settings. As a result, early signs of malnutrition are missed an...

Broiler responses to digestible threonine at different ages: a neural networks approach.

Journal of animal physiology and animal nutrition
Three experiments were conducted with broiler chickens to evaluate the effects of digestible threonine (DThr) and crude protein (CP) on their performance at three different phases of age: 1-14, 15-28 and 29-42 days. The measured traits included the f...

Premolar Ecomorphology in Anthropoid Primates: A Machine Learning Approach.

Journal of morphology
Reconstructing the diets of extinct taxa is essential for understanding their ecologies and evolutionary histories, yet traditional methods and proxies such as molar morphology have limited resolution. The potential of premolar morphology as a dietar...

Assessing real-life food consumption in hospital with an automatic image recognition device: A pilot study.

Clinical nutrition ESPEN
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Accurate dietary intake assessment is essential for nutritional care in hospitals, yet it is time-consuming for caregivers and therefore not routinely performed. Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) offer promising...
