Adults perceive similar ultra-processed and minimally processed foods as having different levels of healthfulness: Development of stimuli for an ultra-processed food-related implicit association task.

Ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption is excessive across the United States (US). Understanding perceptions of food based on processing is critical to elucidate reasons for UPF intake and inform tool development for measuring related cognition. Design and evaluate perceptions of UPF and non-UPF food among general US adults.

A retrospective observational study of mNGS test utilization to examine the role of diagnostic stewardship at two academic medical centers.

Unlabelled: Given the cost and unclear clinical impact of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS), laboratory stewardship may improve utilization. This retrospective observational study examines mNGS results from two academic medical centers employing different stewardship approaches. Eighty mNGS orders [54 cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and 26 plasma] were identified from 2019 to 2021 at the University of Washington (UW), which requires director-level approval for mNGS orders, and the University of Utah (Utah), which does not restrict ordering.

Propofol-sparing and hemodynamic effects of guaifenesin in sheep.

Objective: To evaluate the propofol-sparing and hemodynamic effects of guaifenesin administered for co-induction of anesthesia in sheep.

Study Design: Prospective, blinded, two-way crossover experimental study.

Animals: Thirteen healthy adult female sheep.

Organic carbon accumulation in British saltmarshes.

Saltmarshes are a crucial component of the coastal carbon (C) system and provide a natural climate regulation service through the accumulation and long-term storage of organic carbon (OC) in their soils. These coastal ecosystems are under growing pressure from a changing climate and increasing anthropogenic disturbance. To manage and protect these ecosystems for C and to allow their inclusion in emissions and natural-capital accounting, as well as carbon markets, accurate and reliable estimates of OC accumulation are required.
