Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) are nutrient standards that may be used to plan nutrient intakes. Thus, they are useful as the basis for formulating dietary guidelines. The guidelines are often presented to the public as a food guide that will promote nutrient adequacy without risk of excessive intake. Such guides typically use the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) as intake targets becaus...

Background. SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hypertension degree 1–2 worsens the state of cardiovascular system may contribute to events adverse renal risks. The presence CKD combination its medical correction renin-angiotensin-aldosterone (RAAS) inhibitors causes a significant impact on health infected SARS-CoV-2. uses RAAS, namely receptor for angiotensin...

Hypertension (HTN) is an important factor in progressive loss of renal function. The kidney can be both a contributor to and a target of HTN. The functional integrity of the kidney is vital for the maintenance of cardiovascular homeostasis. Chronic activation of the renin system causes HTN and, ultimately, end-organ damage. Direct renin inhibitors (DRIs) inhibit plasma renin activity (PRA), the...

Energy intakes of adults with spinal cord injury (SCI) have been reported to be relatively low, with many micronutrients below recommended amounts, but little is known about the diets of athletes with SCI. The purpose of this cross-sectional, observational study was to assess energy intakes and estimate the prevalence of dietary inadequacy in a sample of elite Canadian athletes with SCI (n = 32...

Information on nutritional adequacy and inadequacy of dietary patterns is useful when making practical dietary recommendations. We examined nutritional inadequacy of dietary patterns among 3756 Japanese female dietetic students aged 18-20 years. Diet was assessed with a validated self-administered diet history questionnaire (DHQ). Dietary patterns were determined from intakes of 33 food groups ...

Over-the-air computation (AirComp) has received substantial attention, given its ability to aggregate massive amounts of data from distributed wireless devices (WDs). However, the accuracy at fusion center (FC) may be severely affected by receiving corrupted poor channel conditions. To mitigate this issue, we consider employment reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) in AirComp system consi...

The downlink of a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-aided multi-user (MU) millimeter wave (mmWave) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system relying on non-diagonal RIS (NDRIS) phase shift matrix is considered. A max-min fairness (MMF) problem formulated under the total transmit power constraint while employing joint active hybrid beamforming (HBF) both at BS as well each user equipme...
