Higher prenatal dietary glycemic index in the third trimester of pregnancy is associated with infant negative affect at 6 months.

The dietary glycemic index (GI) reflects post-prandial plasma glucose generation rate, with higher-GI foods rapidly increasing blood sugar. Prenatal consumption of high-GI foods is associated with offspring risk for obesity and metabolic disorders. The impact of prenatal dietary GI exposure on infant neurodevelopment remains unclear.

What is the evidence for dietary modification in the management and prevention of malignant bowel obstruction? A scoping review.

Purpose: Dietary modification is one tool in the multidisciplinary and multi-faceted management of malignant bowel obstruction (MBO). However, the evidence for this has not been systematically explored and no guidelines currently exist. The purpose of this review was to identify the type and breadth of published evidence available to support the use of dietary modification in MBO, and to identify key characteristics of dietary interventions and outcome measures used in evaluating these interventions.

Relationship between magnetization transfer ratio and axial compressive strain in tibiofemoral articular cartilage.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) and strain in ex vivo bovine cartilage using 9.4T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and to compare this relationship to the relationship between T2 and strain.

Methods: A previously designed custom electropneumatic loading device was used to compress together osteochondral blocks of bovine femoral and tibial cartilage and bone within a 9.

Implementation of Perioperative Anesthesia Considerations for Military Veterans Who Consume Cannabis: A Quality Improvement Project.

Purpose: As no widely accepted recommendations or guidelines on perioperative management for the cannabis-consuming patient exist, this quality improvement project aimed to identify and implement evidence-based recommendations for cannabis-consuming patients throughout the perioperative period. The objectives of this project were (1) to improve anesthesia providers' knowledge on how to care for cannabis-consuming patients, (2) to increase anesthesia providers' self-efficacy in caring for cannabis-consuming patients, and (3) to assess the frequency of utilization of the given evidence-based recommendation.

Design: This quality improvement project incorporated a pretest-posttest design.
