  • * The researchers hypothesized that high-quality complete proteins would lead to better postprandial and 24-hour MPS compared to plant-based incomplete proteins, whether consumed together or separately over 24 hours.
  • * Results showed that while complete and complementary protein meals triggered better MPS responses than low-protein meals, there were no significant differences among the various protein types in overall FSR at breakfast or over a 24-hour period.

Emerging research suggests whey protein (WP) supplementation may modify type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) risk factors, including glucose control. As systematic reviews and/or meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) gain importance in nutrition literature, we conducted an umbrella systematic review to chronicle published systematic reviews and/or meta-analyses of RCTs pertinent to WP supplementation and T2DM modifiable risk factors.

Article Synopsis
  • Patient decision aids (PtDA) are tools that enhance shared decision-making between patients and healthcare professionals, aiming to improve the quality of decisions, particularly for those at increased genetic cancer risks.
  • The workshop involved patients discussing their health decision-making priorities alongside psychological and behavioral theories to help shape a PtDA that resonates with their needs.
  • Feedback revealed that decision-making is highly personal and context-dependent, indicating a flexible approach to the PtDA's design is necessary for better patient care and support.
