The Ethics of Cancer Screening Based on Race and Ethnicity.

Racial and ethnic disparities in incidence and mortality are well documented for many types of cancer. As a result, there is understandable policy and clinical interest in race- and ethnicity-based clinical screening guidelines to address cancer health disparities. Despite the theoretical benefits, such proposals do not typically address associated ethical considerations.

From lab-based to in-line: Analytical tools for the characterization of whey protein denaturation and aggregation-A review.

Whey protein denaturation and aggregation have long been areas of research interest to the dairy industry, having significant implications for process performance and final product functionality and quality. As such, a significant number of analytical techniques have been developed or adapted to assess and characterize levels of whey protein denaturation and aggregation, to either maximize processing efficiency or create products with enhanced functionality (both technological and biological). This review aims to collate and critique these approaches based on their analytical principles and outline their application for the assessment of denaturation and aggregation.

Enhancing the Techno-Functional Properties of Lentil Protein Isolate Dispersions Using In-Line High-Shear Rotor-Stator Mixing.

In response to global challenges such as climate change and food insecurity, plant proteins have gained interest. Among these, lentils have emerged as a promising source of proteins due to their good nutritional profile and sustainability considerations. However, their widespread use in food products has been impeded by limited solubility.

"It was a reflection of myself, that i was weak": The impact of depression on the sense of self - An interpretive phenomenological analysis.

The World Health Organisation states that more than 350 million people experience depression globally. The phenomenological changes in individuals experiencing depression are profound Phenomenological research can further researchers' and clinicians' understanding of this experience. This study aimed to gain a phenomenological understanding of how individuals with depression understood and made sense of their experiences.

Exploring individuals' experiences of hope in mental health recovery: Having a sense of possibility.

WHAT IS KNOWN ON THE SUBJECT?: Mental health recovery is acknowledged as a process of transformation and a way of living a meaningful life despite the presence of mental ill-health. Experiencing hope has been articulated as intrinsic to service users experience of a meaningful life. The social construction of mental illness and stigma are recognised as barriers to experiencing hope.

Physicochemical properties of micellar casein retentates generated at different microfiltration temperatures.

The effect of whey source on heat-induced aggregation of casein and whey protein mixtures of relevance to infant nutritional product formulation.

Sweet and, to a lesser extent, acid whey protein ingredients can be used for the formulation of infant nutritional products. Unlike acid whey, sweet whey contains caseinomacropeptide (CMP), a heat-stable peptide liberated from κ-casein during cheese and rennet casein manufacture. Four protein systems-sweet whey (SW) and acid whey (AW), with or without standardization for CMP protein content-were added to skim milk (50/50, wt/wt) and unheated or heated to 85 or 110°C.
