Estimated Long-Term Dietary Exposure to Cadmium from Consumption of Spinach in the United States: A Probabilistic Assessment.

As part of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA's) Closer to Zero initiative, a toxicological reference value (TRV) for oral dietary exposure to Cd was established.

The effect of a 14-day Gymnema sylvestre intervention to reduce sugar intake in people self-identifying with a sweet tooth.

Gymnema sylvestre (GS) contains gymnemic acids which can reversibly suppress sweet taste responses. This randomised crossover study aimed to investigate whether supplemental GS use can reduce sugar cravings, sweet food desire and consumption among adults that identify as high sweet food consumers (having a 'sweet tooth'). Participants were told three different mints were trialled to avoid bias.

The Life and Work of Prof. Dr. Antapur Venkoba Rao: The Enduring Legacy of an Innovative Mind.

Dr. Antapur Venkoba Rao, born on August 20, 1927, in Andhra Pradesh, was a pioneering figure in Indian psychiatry, often recognized as the "Father of Indian Psychiatry" and the "Father of Geriatric Mental Health." His exceptional academic achievements led him to specialize in psychiatry, where he made substantial contributions, particularly in the study of depressive disorders.

Parallel convolutional neural network and empirical mode decomposition for high accuracy in motor imagery EEG signal classification.

In recent years, the utilization of motor imagery (MI) signals derived from electroencephalography (EEG) has shown promising applications in controlling various devices such as wheelchairs, assistive technologies, and driverless vehicles. However, decoding EEG signals poses significant challenges due to their complexity, dynamic nature, and low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Traditional EEG pattern recognition algorithms typically involve two key steps: feature extraction and feature classification, both crucial for accurate operation.
