While metal exposures are generally high among informal electronic waste (e-waste) recyclers, the joint effect of metals and dietary macronutrients on their metabolic health is unknown. Therefore, we ...
Graduates' job performance has become a matter that needs urgent attention. This is because many stakeholders are increasingly becoming interested in understanding the extent schools are able to produ...
The study's population comprised all the graduates of higher education institutions in Nigeria between 2015 and 2020. Data were collected from a virtual cross-section of 3,862 graduates who self-repor...
Amongst many others, key findings indicate that alcohol intake, mental stress and psychotic experiences jointly made a significant negative contribution to the overall job performance of graduates (...
It was concluded that high intake of alcohol and high levels of mental stress and psychotic experiences significantly reduce graduates' job performance generally and in specific aspects. Alcohol intak...
Cardiometabolic disease risk factors, including obesity, insulin resistance, high blood pressure, and dyslipidemia, are associated with elevated oxidative stress biomarkers like oxylipins. Increased a...
Evidence from several cohorts has suggested that a higher intake of isoflavone is associated with lower risk of lung cancer in never smokers, but the association has not been investigated by histologi...
We performed a pooled analysis using data from the Japan Public Health Center-based Prospective Study, Shanghai Women's Health Study and Shanghai Men's Study with 147,296 never smokers aged 40-74 year...
A higher intake of dietary isoflavone and soy food were associated with reduced risk of lung adenocarcinoma. The multivariable hazard ratios (HRs) (95% CI) of risk of lung adenocarcinoma for the highe...
Higher intake of isoflavone and soy food was associated with lower risk of lung adenocarcinoma in never smokers....
High mortality rate of pancreatic cancer (PC) as one of the most common cancers worldwide made it a center of attention for recent researches on its pathology, etiology, screening and early diagnosis....
From 50,045 adults between 40-75 years old participated in Golestan cohort study, fifty incident cases of PC were diagnosed and 150 controls matched by age, sex and residence place were randomly selec...
Among all the fatty acids, there was a significant association between plasma and dietary intake of a few fatty acids including trans fatty acids (TFA), polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), 22:6n-3 and...
Since, plasma levels of fatty acids might be influenced by recent diet, we did not find any specific differences between the associations of plasma levels of fatty acids with dietary intake of fats in...
Monitoring population salt intake is operationally and economically challenging. We explored whether a questionnaire assessment and a prediction of Na intake from spot-urine could replace or complemen...
Compare the agreement of a Na-specific food record checklist (FRCL) and a late-afternoon spot-urine measurement (PM-spot) with 24-h U measurement in estimating Na intake at group level. Each participa...
The validation study was part of a 1-year workplace intervention trial to lower salt intake in Switzerland....
Seventy women and 71 men, aged 21-61 years, completed three FRCL, and acceptable PM-spot and 24-h U samples at baseline (April-October 2015)....
Mean Na intake estimates varied slightly across methods (3·5-3·9 g/d). Mean Na intake differences from 24-h U were 0·2 (95 % CI (0, 0·5)) g/d for FRCL and 0·4 (95 % CI (0·2, 0·6)) g/d for PM-spot. Lin...
Although 24-h U remains the best reference method for monitoring Na intake at the population level, PM-spot and FRCL might be more practical instruments for frequent, periodic Na intake assessments. P...
Within European traditional phytotherapy, extracts from different herbal plants are used for prevention and therapy of uncomplicated urinary tract infections and for flushing out of kidney grits. Besi...
Evaluation of THP-inducing activity of extracts from Equisetum arvense, Levisticum officinalis, Ilex paraguariensis, Juniperus communis, Urtica dioica, and Taraxacum officinale by quantification of TH...
7 days p.o. application of the test intervention to healthy volunteers (n = 10 per intervention group) and analysis of urine samples at day 1 (untreated control values), and days 3, 6 and 8 on THP con...
An aqueous extract from E. arvense, fully characterized by a specific LC-MS method, induced THP concentration in urine samples significantly during a 7-day p.o. application up to 300%, related to the ...
Aqueous extract from E. arvense significantly stimulates THP secretion in urine samples after 7 days of oral intake and inhibits the interplay between UPEC and bladder host cells. This could explain t...
Dietary intake of omega-3 polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs) may be associated with successful assisted reproductive techniques (ART). However, heterogeneous studies were conducted and opposing results were...
Parental nutrition can impact the health of future generations, programming the offspring for the development of diseases. The developing germ cells of the offspring could be damaged by the maternal o...
Drug scheduling in older adults can be a challenge, especially considering polypharmacy, physical dependency, and possible drug interactions. Properly testing alternative treatment regimens could ther...
A randomized crossover clinical trial was conducted between June 2018 and March 2020 at the Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre, a teaching hospital in Brazil, to compare the efficacy of morning and ...
A total of 201 participants with mean age of 72.4 ± 7.2 years were included, out of which 84.1% were women; baseline characteristics and frequency of controlled hypothyroidism were similar between gro...
Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone levels and frequency of controlled hypothyroidism were similar during the follow-up period regardless of the treatment regimen (morning or bedtime)....
