Article Synopsis
- - National food guides, which should be based on scientific evidence, are increasingly influenced by corporate and political interests, undermining their reliability; thus, there's a need for an unbiased, sustainable Universal Food Guide for countries to use as a model.
- - An integrative review was conducted to analyze existing evidence about food guides and dietary recommendations, focusing on conflicts of interest, the healthiest diet, the components of the Universal Food Guide, and its implications for health and the environment.
- - The healthiest eating pattern identified is a whole food, low fat, plant-based diet (especially vegan) that avoids ultra-processed foods, which contrasts sharply with current national food guide recommendations driven by corporate interests; promoting this diet can reduce non-communic
Background: Studies on the relationship between de qi intensity and activity changes in the autonomic nervous system (ANS) are scarce. This study investigates the physiological responses associated with de qi. The relationship between de qi intensity and such responses was determined.

Design: A single blinded, randomized controlled trial.
Setting: Laboratory with healthy male subjects (n=28).
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an exercise training program on cardiorespiratory and musculoskeletal performance and health-related quality of life of patients who were recovering from severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). A 6-week supervised exercise training program was carried out in the physiotherapy department of a university teaching hospital. One hundred and thirty-three patients referred from a SARS Review Clinic solely for physiotherapy were included.

Design And Participants: Pulmonary function testing was conducted in university students (n = 805).
Setting: A university campus in Hong Kong.
Objective: To investigate the impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) on the physical fitness and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among SARS survivors.
Design: A cohort study.
Setting: An outpatient physiotherapy department in a major hospital in Hong Kong.
Ventilator-associated pneumonia results from bacterial colonisation of the aerodigestive tract or aspiration of contaminated secretions into the lower airways. As a consequence of infection of the lung parenchyma and alveolitis, accumulation of inflammatory exudates and infiltration of airway mucosa can lead to unfavourable respiratory mechanics in ventilator-associated pneumonia. Tracheal suction is often employed by nursing staff in the management of mechanically ventilated patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia but this technique has the potential to increase respiratory resistance.
