INTRODUCTION Diet plays a crucial role for maintaining normal growth and development while optimizing glycemic control in children with diabetes. Dietary restrictions, in a diabetic child's diet may lead to micronutrient deficiencies. OBJECTIVES To examine dietary nutritional deficiencies of Asian Indian children with Type 1 diabetes mellitus and develop micronutrient-rich recipes suitable fo...

Abstract Despite their great utility in synthetic and materials chemistry, Diels-Alder (DA) retro (rDA) reactions have been vastly unexplored promoting self-assembly processes. Herein we describe the first example of a reaction-triggered method. Release steric bulkiness associated with bridged bicyclic DA adduct by rDA reaction allowed generation two building blocks that spontaneously self-asse...

The Race Disparity Audit (RDA) was published in 2017 by the then Conservative government of UK. proclaimed aims were to ‘reveal racial disparities and help end injustices that many people experience’. This paper adopts a critical discourse analysis approach analysing RDA associated webpages, critically examine government’s purported aims. linguistic reveals pernicious form political doublespeak...

BACKGROUND For older men and women, the Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) and Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for protein are not known with confidence. Data from the limited research studies available suggest that the EAR and RDA might be greater than the assumed 0.66 and 0.80 g protein x kg body wt(-1) x d(-1), respectively. OBJECTIVE This study assessed the effect of age on the EAR a...

A study was undertaken in four Government and Private Hospitals to assess the effect of minerals on pregnant women suffering from pre-eclampsia and eclampsia. Twenty four hours dietary recall was taken and the total no. of respondents i.e. 60 were divided into three income groups i.e. low income group (LIG), middle income group (MIG), high income group (HIG) and then minerals intake especially ...

Many cross-sectional studies show an inverse association between dietary magnesium and insulin resistance, but few longitudinal studies examine the ability to meet the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for magnesium intake through food and its effect on insulin resistance among participants with metabolic syndrome (MetS). The dietary intervention study examined this question in 234 individual...

Aiming to elucidate whether large-scale dispersal factors or environmental species sorting prevail in determining patterns of Trichoptera species composition in mountain lakes, we analyzed the distribution and assembly of the most common Trichoptera (Plectrocnemia laetabilis, Polycentropus flavomaculatus, Drusus rectus, Annitella pyrenaea, and Mystacides azurea) in the mountain lakes of the Pyr...

OBJECTIVES To assess the contribution of street foods to the energy and nutrient needs of street food vendors. DESIGN A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted. Food intake for the street food vendors was measured using the 24 h recall method and a semi-quantitative FFQ with emphasis on the source of all foods consumed. SETTING Kampala, Jinja and Masaka districts, Uganda. SUBJECTS...
