Protocol for an exploratory, longitudinal single case study of a novel palliative care rehabilitative service.

Early access to rehabilitation can improve quality of life for those with life-limiting illnesses and is highlighted as a core component of the Adult Palliative Care Services Model of Care for Ireland. Despite this, palliative rehabilitation remains under-utilised and under-developed. In 2020, the Sláintecare Integration Fund provided opportunity to pilot a novel rehabilitative palliative care service, "Palliat Rehab".

Genotoxicity and subchronic oral toxicity of L-ornithine monohydrochloride.

L-Ornithine monohydrochloride was evaluated in two in vitro genotoxicity assays and a rat 90-day oral toxicity study. No evidence of genotoxicity was observed in the reverse bacterial mutation assay or the chromosome aberration test at doses of up to 5000 μg/plate or 1686 μg/mL, respectively, both in the presence and absence of metabolic activation. Rats were administered L-ornithine monohydrochloride at dietary concentrations of 0 (basal diet), 1.

Review of the regulation and safety assessment of food substances in various countries and jurisdictions.

This review compares the regulations, definitions and approval processes for substances intentionally added to or unintentionally present in human food in the following specific countries/jurisdictions: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, the European Union, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, and the United States. This includes direct food additives, food ingredients, flavouring agents, food enzymes and/or processing aids, food contact materials, novel foods, and nanoscale materials for food applications. The regulatory authority of each target jurisdiction/country uses its own regulatory framework and although the definitions, regulations and approval processes may vary among all target countries, in general there are many similarities.

Alternative approaches to the safety assessment of macronutrient substitutes.

Traditional toxicological procedures have only limited application to the safety assessment of macronutrient substitutes. Experience indicates that spurious effects are often encountered when macronutrients or their replacements are fed to rodents at high dietary levels. These effects may results in nutritional imbalances that lead secondarily to adverse physiological consequences including cancer, renal disease, or reproductive effects.
