  • The Dutch National Food Consumption Survey is assessing dietary intake with a new app called DitEetIk!, which aims to improve data collection methods compared to traditional 24-hour recalls.
  • The study involved 300 participants who used the DitEetIk! app over three days and compared their data with results from trained dietitians using the GloboDiet software for validation purposes.
  • Results showed that 227 participants managed to validate their food intake data, with a significant percentage of entries being recorded through the app, indicating its potential effectiveness in dietary assessment.

Automatic detection of pulmonary nodules in thoracic computed tomography (CT) scans has been an active area of research for the last two decades. However, there have only been few studies that provide a comparative performance evaluation of different systems on a common database. We have therefore set up the LUNA16 challenge, an objective evaluation framework for automatic nodule detection algorithms using the largest publicly available reference database of chest CT scans, the LIDC-IDRI data set.

Natural killer T (NK T) cells play a central role as intermediates between innate and adaptive immune responses important to induce anti-tumour reactivity in cancer patients. In two of 14 renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients, treated with interferon (IFN)-α, we detected significantly enhanced numbers of circulating NK T cells which were typed phenotypically and analysed for anti-tumour reactivity. These NK T cells were T cell receptor (TCR) Vα24/Vβ11(+), 6B11(+) and bound CD1d tetramers.
