the iranian food consumption program (ifcp), a unique program in iran was developed to aim accurate calculation of nutrient intakes in relation to heart health investigation released in isfahan cardiovascular research center in march 1998 for the first time. the new versions came out along changes in computer technology. this interview-based program is designed to gather data through designed q...

This paper addresses the need for diet assessment methods that capture the rapidly changing beverage consumption patterns in China. The objective of this study was to develop a 3-day smartphone-assisted 24-hour recall to improve the quantification of beverage intake amongst young Chinese adults (n=110) and validate, in a small subset (n=34), the extent to which the written record and smartphone...

Nutritional epidemiology relies largely on self-reported measures of dietary intake, errors in which give biased estimated diet-disease associations. Self-reported measurements come from questionnaires and food records. Unbiased biomarkers are scarce; however, surrogate biomarkers, which are correlated with intake but not unbiased, can also be useful. It is important to quantify and correct for...

background: a high-fat diet (hfd) and fat accumulation promote the oxidative stress formation, which in turn has hazardous effects on reproductive system and fertility. therefore, the present study examines the potential positive effects of a restricted high-fat diet (rhfd) and antioxidants consumption on sperm parameters in rats. methods: 48 male albino wistar rats divided to four groups (n=12...

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) affects up to 3% of the North American population. It occurs as a manifestation of the insulin-resistant state and oxidative stress is thought to be a key component of its pathophysiology. Exercise and diet, which are the mainstay of therapy, are difficult to achieve and maintain with a disappointing long-term compliance record. There is growing literature on...

We report the case of a child with difficulties to control epilepsy and celiac disease, diagnosed soon after the onset of the seizure disorder. Seizure frequency and pattern, in addition to electroencephalogram record were suggestive of Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. Diagnosis of celiac disease was determined by positive anti-endomysium and anti-transglutaminase tests, and abnormal jejunal biopsy. Gl...

We propose a method that uses a filler prediction model for building a language model that includes fillers from a corpus without fillers. In our method, a filler prediction model is trained from a corpus that does not cover domain-relevant topics. It recovers fillers in inexact transcribed corpora in the target domain, and then a language model that includes fillers is built from the corpora. ...

Black currants (Ribes nigrum) and red currants (Ribes rubrum) are highly appreciated for the food and therapeutic value of their fruits. Mineral composition was determined in eight black currants cultivars (‘Record’, ‘Bogatar’, ‘Deea’, ‘Abanos’, ‘Blackdown’, ‘Ronix’, ‘Tinker’, ‘Tenah’) and three red currants cultivars (‘Rosu timpuriu’, ‘Abundent’, ‘Houghton Castle’). For both species analyzed, ...
