[A man whose food gets stuck in the back of his throat].

A 21-year-old man visited the GP complaining of food getting stuck in the back of his throat. We saw a thin string of tissue connecting the uvula to the palatopharyngeal arch and removed it surgically. No such case has previously been described in the absence of a history of trauma, infection or operation.

Trends in Palliative Care Telephone Consultation Support for Health Care Professionals: A Dutch Nationwide Registry between 2004 and 2019.

Regional palliative care consultation (PCC) teams aim to support health care professionals by telephone in providing quality palliative care (PC) in the Netherlands. The study aims to assess trends in the number and characteristics of PC telephone consultations in the Netherlands between 2004 and 2019. A retrospective observational study reviewed data from the Dutch national register for PC consultations by telephone (PRADO).

Dietary lipid droplet structure in postnatal life improves hepatic energy and lipid metabolism in a mouse model for postnatal programming.

Early-life diets may have a long-lasting impact on metabolic health. This study tested the hypothesis that an early-life diet with large, phospholipid-coated lipid droplets (Concept) induces sustained improvements of hepatic mitochondrial function and metabolism. Young C57BL/6j mice were fed Concept or control (CTRL) diet from postnatal day 15 (PN15) to PN42, followed by western style (WSD) or standard rodent diet (AIN) until PN98.

The effect of dietary lipid quality in early life on serum LysoPC(18:2) levels and their association with adult blood glucose levels in intrauterine growth restricted rats.

Being born small-for-gestational-age, especially with subsequent catch-up growth, is associated with impaired metabolic health in later-life. We previously showed that a postnatal diet with an adapted lipid droplet structure can ameliorate some of the adverse metabolic consequences in intrauterine growth-restricted (IUGR) rats. The aim of the present work was to explore possible underlying mechanism(s) and potential biomarkers.
