The objective of this study was to investigate whether the intake level of a staple food influences the nutritional status of water-soluble vitamins in pregnant Japanese women. Urinary excretion of water-soluble vitamins was used as a biomarker for nutritional assessment. Twenty-four-hour urine samples were collected and vitamin intake was surveyed using a validated self-administered comprehens...

This study investigated the functional significance of EEG alpha power increases, a finding that is consistently observed in various memory tasks and specifically during divergent thinking. It was previously shown that alpha power is increased when tasks are performed in mind-e.g., when bottom-up processing is prevented. This study aimed to examine the effect of task-immanent differences in bot...

flow passing through lateral intakes and channel junctions is turbulent. sediment flow and bed forms areaffected by these flow patterns and vice versa. in this research, a laboratory study was carried out toexplore a possible method for sediment control for a set of submerged vanes and a single spur dikesimultaneously. since a larger portion of the near-bed flow was diverted, the intake receive...

BACKGROUND Few data exist on the intergenerational influence of calcium intake during pregnancy on offspring blood pressure. METHODS AND RESULTS As part of the ongoing US prospective cohort study Project Viva, we analyzed 4091 Dinamap blood pressure measurements from 936 six-month-old infants whose mothers had completed food frequency questionnaires during the second trimester of pregnancy.

Dietary choline and betaine have been hypothesized to decrease the risk of cancer because of their role as methyl donors in the one-carbon metabolism. However, it remains unknown whether dietary intake of choline and betaine is associated with colorectal cancer risk. We prospectively examined the associations between dietary choline and betaine intake and risk of colorectal cancer in men in the...
