Further understanding the unique structure derived from interaction of soy proteins with acylated starch of various chain-length short-chain fatty acids.

Waxy maize starch was acylated via different chain-length of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) (referred to AS, PS and BS, respectively), followed by investigation of their structural characteristics of complexes formed between the acylated starch and soy protein isolate (SPI) via FTIR, NMR, XRD and CLSM, etc. This is the first time to reveal that ζ-potential value of the complexes between two polymers was proportional to chain length of SCFAs. The occurrence of new peak at 1580 cm in AS-SPI, PS-SPI and BS-SPI might imply the interaction between NH group of SPI and hydroxyl group of acylated starch.

Changes in identity and habit formation during 3 months of sport and physical activity participation among parents with young children.

Understanding factors that might contribute to sustained moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) after the initial start of participation is important. The purpose of this study was to examine the changes in PA habit and identity, two constructs purported to drive behavioral maintenance, among parents of young (< 13 years of age) children participating in a PA intervention across 3 months. Parents (team sport n = 58; individual PA n = 60; control n = 66) completed measures of PA habit, PA identity, and self-reported MVPA at baseline, and post-randomization at 6 weeks and 3 months.

Position statement and guidelines about Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) also known as "Endo-sleeve".

IS ESG EFFECTIVE IN THE TREATMENT OF OBESITY AND ASSOCIATEDCOMORBIDITIES?: Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) is more effective than lifestyle modifications alone for weight loss and improving obesity-related comorbidities. While it has less effect on weight loss compared to Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) in the short to medium term, it offers similar comorbidities resolution to LSG. IS ESG A SAFE PROCEDURE, AND WHAT ARE ITS RISKS?: The safety profile of ESG is consistently supported in the literature.

Daily Path Areas and Location Use During and After Cardiac Rehabilitation.

Purpose: Little research has focused on the potential impact that the environment plays in shaping cardiac rehabilitation (CR) patient sedentary time (ST) and physical activity (PA). To address this, the current study generated daily path areas (DPAs) based on the locations they visited during and after they completed CR.

Methods: Patients in CR (n = 66) completed a survey and wore an accelerometer and Global Positioning System receiver for 7 days early (first month), late (last 2 weeks of program), and 3 months after completing CR.
