Acute beneficial effects of a functional energy shot on cognitive performance and mood states during cognitively demanding task performance: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial.
Front Nutr
January 2025
Introduction: Functional beverages are increasingly popular but it is important to validate their purported effects through research. The aim of the current study was to investigate the effects of a new functional energy shot on cognitive performance and mood states in healthy adults, with a focus on measuring mental energy enhancement and attenuation of negative effects associated with extended performance of mentally demanding tasks.
Methods: This study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial.
Biotin[6]uril, a chiral, water-soluble and anion binding macrocycle, is formed via dynamic covalent chemistry. In this study, we present a scalable and high-yielding synthesis of biotin[6]uril via a mechanochemical solid-state approach. The optimized protocol involves mechanical grinding of solid d-biotin with paraformaldehyde in the presence of 0.

These patients receive little support about their return to work (RTW). There is a need for an occupational support intervention that encourages safe and sustained RTW which can be integrated into National Health Service practice.

- Autistic women are significantly prone to restrictive eating disorders (REDs), such as anorexia nervosa, necessitating a deeper understanding of this connection.
- The study compares various groups—including autistic women with and without REDs, and women with REDs but without autism—to identify unique patterns in eating behaviors and co-occurring mental health issues.
- Results indicate that autistic women with REDs exhibit distinctive behaviors tied to autism, alongside traditional eating disorder symptoms, indicating the need for tailored treatment approaches that consider their unique challenges and mental health concerns.
Aim(s): The aim of this study is to understand factors that challenge retention and support nurses to stay in general practice.
Background: One in four general practice nurse positions in England expected to be left unfilled within the next 10 years. Cultural and structural issues associated with working in general practice have been linked with nurses leaving general practice, re-evaluating their professional futures, adjusting work-life balance and bringing forward retirement.
