Food-Away-From-Home Options in Local Military Nutrition Environments.

Introduction: Americans have increased their intake of food away from home, which is lower in quality and higher in calories than food prepared at home. The increase of operations that serve food also impacts the military nutrition environment-including all foods, beverages, and dietary supplements available to the military community-and its role in nutritional fitness.

Methods: As part of a pilot study, 5 military installations used the online Military Nutrition Environment Assessment Tool to evaluate their local food landscape.

Abbreviated fixed-interval interventions promote self-control in rats.

Impulsive choice, defined as choices of a smaller-sooner reward over a larger-later reward, can be reduced by time-based interventions that expose rats to delayed rewards. These interventions improve temporal processing concurrent with reducing impulsive choice. Exposure to delayed reinforcement has produced improvements in self-control after 30 sessions of intervention exposure (Renda et al.

Post-mastectomy Pain Syndrome: A Review Article and Emerging Treatment Modalities.

Post-mastectomy pain syndrome (PMPS) is a syndrome broadly applied to the development of chronic pain after surgical breast intervention (i.e., lumpectomy and mastectomy).

Active and passive waiting in impulsive choice: Effects of fixed-interval and fixed-time delays.

Behavioral interventions to improve self-control, preference for a larger-later (LL) reward over a smaller-sooner (SS) reward, involve experience with delayed rewards. Whether they involve timing processes remains controversial. In rats, there have been inconsistent results on whether timing processes may be involved in intervention-induced improvements in self-control.

Neuromodulation for Adjunctive Treatment in Postmastectomy Pain Syndrome.

Postmastectomy pain syndrome (PMPS) affects nearly half of patients who undergo mastectomy to treat breast cancer. As the survival rate of breast cancer increases with advancements in treatment, the incidence of PMPS is also increasing. Patients with PMPS can experience unrelenting, chronic pain refractory to traditional management with oral pharmacotherapy in conjunction with nonpharmacologic treatment (physical therapy, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS)).
