Published: August 2024

<p>There has been an increased emphasis on plant-based foods and diets. Although mobile technology has the potential to be a convenient and innovative tool to help consumers adhere to dietary guidelines, little is known about the content and quality of free, popular mobile health (mHealth) plant-based diet apps. The objective of the study was to assess the content and quality of free, popular mHealth apps supporting plant-based diets for Canadians. Free mHealth apps with high user ratings, a high number of user ratings, available on both Apple App and GooglePlay stores, and primarily marketed to help users follow plant-based diet were included. Using pre-defined search terms, Apple App and GooglePlay App stores were searched on December 22, 2020; the top 100 returns for each search term were screened for eligibility. Included apps were downloaded and assessed for quality by three dietitians/nutrition research assistants using the Mobile App Rating Scale (MARS) and the App Quality Evaluation (AQEL) scale. Of the 998 apps screened, 16 apps (mean user ratings±SEM: 4.6±0.1) met the eligibility criteria, comprising 10 recipe managers and meal planners, 2 food scanners, 2 community builders, 1 restaurant identifier, and 1 sustainability assessor. All included apps targeted the general population and focused on changing behaviors using education (15 apps), skills training (9 apps), and/or goal setting (4 apps). Although MARS (scale: 1–5) revealed overall adequate app quality scores (3.8±0.1), domain-specific assessments revealed high functionality (4.0±0.1) and aesthetic (4.0±0.2), but low credibility scores (2.4±0.1). The AQEL (scale: 0–10) revealed overall low score in support of knowledge acquisition (4.5±0.4) and adequate scores in other nutrition-focused domains (6.1–7.6). Despite a variety of free plant-based apps available with different focuses to help Canadians follow plant-based diets, our findings suggest a need for increased credibility and additional resources to complement the low support of knowledge acquisition among currently available plant-based apps. This research received no specific grant from any funding agency. </p>
Nutrient intakes and top food categories contributing to intakes of energy and nutrients-of-concern consumed by Canadian adults that would require a ‘high-in’ front-of-pack symbol according to Canadian labelling regulations
Authors: Lee Jenn 
Published: August 2024

<p>Canada recently mandated front-of-pack (FOP) labelling regulations, where foods meeting and/or exceeding recommended thresholds for nutrients-of-concern (i.e., saturated fat, sodium, and sugars) must display a ‘high-in’ FOP nutrition symbol. However, there is limited research on the amounts and sources of foods consumed by Canadians that would require a FOP symbol. The objective was to examine the intakes of nutrients-of-concern from foods that would display a FOP symbol and to identify the top food categories contributing to intakes for each nutrient-of-concern. Using the first day 24-hour dietary recall from the nationally representative 2015 Canadian Community Health Survey-Nutrition (CCHS), Canadian adults’ intakes of nutrients-of-concern from foods that would display a FOP symbol was examined. Foods were assigned to 1 of 62 categories to identify the top food categories contributing to intakes of energy and nutrient-of-concern that would display a FOP symbol for each nutrient-of-concern. Canadian adults (n = 13,495) consumed approximately 24% of total calories from foods that would display a FOP symbol. Foods that would display a FOP symbol for exceeding thresholds for nutrients-of-concern accounted for 16% of saturated fat, 30% of sodium, 25% of total sugar, and 39% of free sugar intakes among Canadian adults. The top food category contributing intakes of each nutrient-of-concern that would display a FOP symbol were nutrient-specific: Processed meat and meat substitutes for saturated fat; Breads for sodium; and Fruit juices & drinks for total and free sugars. Our findings show that Canadian FOP labelling regulations have the potential to influence the intakes of nutrients-of-concern for Canadian adults. Using the findings as baseline data, future studies are warranted to evaluate the impact of FOP labelling regulations. </p>

<p>Cost-effective and efficient body composition measurement devices that are reliable and valid are necessary for identifying health risk as well as for understanding the effectiveness of lifestyle interventions. The objective of this study was to evaluate the test-retest reliability and validity of three body composition measurement devices. Forty-nine adults (mean age (SD) = 31.5 (10.7) y; BMI = 23.5 (3.0) kg/m2 ) completed a reference air displacement plethysmography (ADP) measure, and duplicate measures using skinfold callipers (Lange), ultrasound (BodyMetrix A-mode) and a 3-dimensional photonic scanner (3DPS; Fit3D ProScanner). Skinfold thickness was measured at seven sites using callipers and ultrasound; percent body fat (�) was then estimated using population-specific algorithms. The 3DPS was used to measure body circumferences, and then � was estimated using its beta-software. While skinfold callipers showed poor absolute reliability (mean differences (Δ) [95% CI] = 0.54% [0.22, 0.87], standard error of measurement (SEM) = 0.63%), ultrasound and the 3DPS showed excellent absolute (Δ = 0.17% [-0.25, 0.58], SEM = 0.78%; and Δ = -0.01% [-0.43, 0.40], SEM = 0.67%, respectively) and relative reliability (ICC2,1 = 0.988 [0.979, 0.993]; and ICC2,1 = 0.983 [0.968, 0.991], respectively). Compared to ADP (n = 43), skinfold callipers underestimated � (Δ = -4.53 [-7.72, -1.34]; p = 0.003), while ultrasound (Δ = -0.32 [-3.51, 2.87]; p = 0.99) and the 3DPS (Δ = 1.06 [-2.12. 4.26]; p = 0.77) were not significantly different. Bland-Altman plots showed a minimal bias of ultrasound [95% limit of agreement (LOA) = -7.87, 7.23] and the 3DPS [95% LOA = -6.66, 8.79]. In conclusion, estimating � from subcutaneous fat measurements using ultrasound and body circumferences using a 3DPS may be reliable and valid methods that require minimal technician expertise. </p>

<p>The objective of this study was to determine the effect of white potato cooking methods on subjective appetite, short-term food intake (FI), and glycemic response in healthy older adults. Using a within-subject, repeated-measures design, 20 participants (age: 70.4 ± 0.6 y) completed, in random order, five treatment conditions: three potato treatments (baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, and French fries), an isocaloric control treatment (white bread), or a fasting condition (meal skipping). Subjective appetite and glycemic response were measured for 120 min using visual analogue scales and capillary blood samples, respectively. Lunch FI was measured with an ad libitum pizza meal at 120 min. Change from baseline subjective appetite (<em>p</em> < 0.001) and lunch FI (<em>p</em> < 0.001) were lower after all test treatments compared with meal skipping (<em>p</em> < 0.001), but did not differ among test treatments. Cumulative FI (test treatment + lunch FI) did not differ among treatment conditions. Blood glucose concentrations were higher after all test treatments compared with meal skipping (<em>p</em> < 0.001), but were not different from each other. In healthy older adults, white potatoes suppressed subjective appetite and lunch FI compared with meal skipping, suggesting white potatoes do not bypass regulatory control mechanisms of FI. </p>

Poor sleep quality is a condition where, when someone is sleeping, they feel the desire to wake up from sleep as soon as possible. Workload and work stress have an important effect on sleep quality in nurses. The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship between workload and work stress with the quality of sleep of emergency department nurses. The type of research is quantitative with a cross sectional design. The research was conducted at PKU Muhammadiyah Gombong Hospital in July 2022. The research sample was nurses in the Emergency Department of PKU Muhammadiyah Gombong Hospital, totaling 41 with the sampling technique using total sampling. The research instrument used a research questionnaire. Data analysis was done univariate and bivariate. The results showed there was a relationship between workload (p value: 0.002) and work stress (p value: 0.000) with sleep quality in nurses. It is recommended for nurses to make the best use of rest time before work, such as doing sleep hygiene by limiting food and drinks before bed, starting to sleep and waking up at the same time, limiting napping hours, creating special rituals before bed, creating a comfortable sleeping environment, and exercising regularly in the morning or afternoon.

IntroductionMesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have been extensively studied as a potential treatment for steroid refractory acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD). However, the majority of clinical trials have focused on bone marrow-derived MSCs.MethodsIn this study, we report the outcomes of 86 patients with grade III-IV (82.6% grade IV) steroid refractory aGVHD who were treated with human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (UC-MSCs). The patient cohort included 17 children and 69 adults. All patients received intravenous infusions of UC-MSCs at a dose of 1 × 106 cells per kg body weight, with a median of 4 infusions (ranging from 1 to 16).ResultsThe median time between the onset of aGVHD and the first infusion of UC-MSCs was 7 days (ranging from 3 to 88 days). At day 28, the overall response (OR) rate was 52.3%. Specifically, 24 patients (27.9%) achieved complete remission, while 21 (24.4%) exhibited partial remission. The estimated survival probability at 100 days was 43.7%. Following a median follow-up of 108 months (ranging from 61 to 159 months), the survival rate was approximately 11.6% (10/86). Patients who developed acute lower GI tract and liver GVHD exhibited poorer OR rates at day 28 compared to those with only acute lower GI tract GVHD (22.2% vs. 58.8%; p= 0.049). No patient experienced serious adverse events.DiscussionThese finding suggest that UC-MSCs are safe and effective in both children and adults with steroid refractory aGVHD. UC-MSCs could be considered as a feasible treatment option for this challenging conditon. (NCT01754454).

Published: August 2024

Diabetes mellitus gestacional é decorrente da alteração do metabolismo da glicose devido a resistência à insulina, resultando em hiperglicemia materna, podendo isso trazer sérios prejuízos para a mãe e para o bebê. O Ministério da Saúde estabelece como forma tratamento medicamentoso o uso da insulina como droga de primeira escolha. Já metformina é um hipoglicemiante oral eficaz e seguro no tratamento de diabetes mellitus do tipo 2. No entanto, há estudos científicos que comprovam a eficácia e segurança da utilização da metformina na terapêutica do diabetes mellitus gestacional. Trata-se de um estudo de revisão de literatura integrativa de natureza exploratória, entre os anos de 2012 a 2022, com bases de dados do Scielo, Pubmed, UpToDate, Medline e Epistemonikos. Nas fontes bibliográficas observa-se que a metformina apresenta vantagens de seu uso em relação à insulina, como menor risco de ganho de peso materno, menor risco de hipertensão induzida pela gravidez, baixo custo financeiro, maior facilidade de uso, melhor adesão ao tratamento, não requer ajustes constantes de dose. Bem como, desmistificando a consequência a teratogênica para o feto, o que a torna uma opção segura e de fácil administração. Apensar dos evidentes benefícios da metformina como opção terapêutica no diabetes mellitus gestacional, se faz necessário mais estudos para fornecer evidências de segurança no longo prazo na prole exposta à metformina no ambiente intrauterino, motivo pelo qual ainda é mantida no Brasil a insulina como droga de primeira escolha no tratamento do diabetes mellitus gestacional.

El presente artículo recoge parte de la perspectiva problémica, la propuesta teórica y los resultados obtenidos de una investigación realizada en el año 2017, que tuvo como propósito determinar el impacto de una secuencia didáctica (SD) de enfoque socio-cultural en la comprensión lectora de textos narrativos, en dos grupos de estudiantes de grado noveno de dos instituciones educativas oficiales de Risaralda, Colombia. Una de las apuestas principales de la SD, se centró en el uso alternado de textos narrativos impresos y textos narrativos audiovisuales, además de la promoción del ejercicio de lectura crítica de ambos tipos de narrativas en correspondencia con las posibilidades brindadas por el enfoque socio-cultural para la comprensión lectora. En lo metodológico, se propuso un estudio cuantitativo con un diseño cuasi-experimental intra-grupo, tipo pre-test pos-test. Para la recolección de la información, se elaboró un cuestionario de selección múltiple con única respuesta, a partir de la cual se evaluó la comprensión lectora desde la propuesta teórica de Daniel Cassany. Dado el impacto que tuvo la SD al fortalecer la comprensión lectora en los niveles: las líneas, entre líneas y detrás de líneas, los resultados permitieron validar la hipótesis de trabajo, además de promover la reflexión sobre el alcanza que pueden tener las apuestas didácticas que integran distintos modos textuales.
