Assessing food consumed away from home in low-and middle-income countries by developing specific modules for household surveys: Experimental evidence from Vietnam and Burkina Faso.

December 2024
Article Synopsis
- A significant increase in food consumption outside the home is noted, impacting individual diets and health negatively, with limited data on this trend due to a lack of dietary surveys in certain regions.
- The study aimed to create and test two survey modules (one long and one short) in Burkina Faso and Vietnam to measure food consumed away from home in relation to regular Household Consumption and Expenditure Surveys.
- Although the modules showed good agreement with 24-hour dietary recalls (over 77% accuracy), they underestimated energy intake and overestimated spending on food consumed outside the home, indicating a need for better tools to assess these dietary habits globally.
We present a visual tool and facile method to detect MCF-7 breast cancer cells by using YVO:Eu@silica-NH-GDA-IgG bio-nanocomplexes. To obtain these complexes, YVO:Eu nanoparticles with a uniform size of 10-25 nm have been prepared firstly by the hydrothermal process, followed by surface functionalization to be bio-compatible and conjugated with cancer cells. The YVO:Eu@silica-NH-GDA-IgG nanoparticles exhibited an enhanced red emission at 618 nm under an excitation wavelength of 355 nm and were strongly coupled with MCF-7 breast cancer cells via biological conjugation.

Herein, we report novel NaYF:Yb/Er@silica-TPGS bio-nano complexes for labeling cancer cells. The NaYF:Yb/Er nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized a hydrothermal route, further coated with a silica shell, and functionalized with d-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS).
