The Effects of Potato Presentation on Vegetable Intake in School-Aged Children: A Cross-Over Study.

Vegetables are an essential component of a healthy dietary pattern in children; however, their consumption is often insufficient due to lack of preference. To address this, the influence of combining vegetables (mixed peas and carrots-MPACs) with potatoes, a generally liked food, on overall vegetable consumption among children aged 7-13 years was explored. The research involved a cross-over study design with 65 participants who completed five lunchtime meal conditions, each with different combinations of MPACs and potatoes versus a control (MPACs with a wheat roll).

Impact of Rabeprazole on APO-Dabigatran Exposure in Healthy Volunteers.

Background: Dabigatran is effective and safe for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation and for venous thromboembolism prevention and treatment. In Canada, APO-dabigatran, a generic formulation, has been approved based on a bioequivalence study, but its bioavailability in settings of reduced gastric acidity has not been examined.

Methods: Treatment With PO-abigatran bsorption (TADA) was an open-label crossover study in 46 healthy male volunteers, comparing the absorption of APO-dabigatran (150 mg) with vs without rabeprazole.

2,2'-{(1,1')-[Ethane-1,2-diylbis(aza-nylyl-idene)]bis-(methanylyl-idene)}bis-(4-iodo-phenol).

The title compound, CHINO, a di-iodo-Schiff base, crystallizes in space group with one mol-ecule per asymmetric unit. The mol-ecular structure reveals two intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds that give the mol-ecule a twisted structure with non-coplanar rings. In the crystal structure, the mol-ecular packing is stabilized by π-π stacking, hydrogen- and halogen-bonding (C-H⋯I; O⋯I) inter-actions.

The spatial extent of focused attention modulates attentional disengagement.

Attention can be flexibly changed to optimize visual processing: it can be oriented, resized, or even divided. Although much is known about these processes individually, much less is known about how they interact with one another. In the present study we examined how the spatial extent of the attentional focus modulates the efficiency of the first component of attentional orienting, the disengagement of attention.

Comparison of Household Perceptions and Practices of Food and Water Emergency Preparedness Between Latter-Day Saints and Non-Latter-Day Saints in the USA.

This study evaluated whether Latter-day Saints have more favorable perceptions and practices of food and water emergency preparedness than other households. Individuals across 46 states in the USA completed an online survey in 2014 (n = 572). Results indicated that Latter-day Saints, compared to Non-Latter-day Saints, were more likely to have a disaster supplies kit, to have long-term food storage, to have preserved food by canning/bottling, and to perceive neighborhood/community connectedness.
