Evaluating ChatGPT's Multilingual Performance in Clinical Nutrition Advice Using Synthetic Medical Text: Insights from Central Asia.

Background: While large language models like ChatGPT-4 have demonstrated competency in English, their performance for minority groups speaking underrepresented languages, as well as their ability to adapt to specific socio-cultural nuances and regional cuisines, such as those in Central Asia (e.g., Kazakhstan), still requires further investigation.

Reducing meat consumption in Central Asia through 3D printing of plant-based protein-enhanced alternatives-a mini review.

3D food printing (3DFP) is emerging as a vital innovation in the food industry's pursuit of sustainability. 3DFP has evolved to significantly impact food production, offering the capability to create customized, nutritionally balanced foods. Central Asia has a higher than global average level of meat consumption , which might be influenced by its historical and cultural background of nomadism.

A Central Asian Food Dataset for Personalized Dietary Interventions.

Nowadays, it is common for people to take photographs of every beverage, snack, or meal they eat and then post these photographs on social media platforms. Leveraging these social trends, real-time food recognition and reliable classification of these captured food images can potentially help replace some of the tedious recording and coding of food diaries to enable personalized dietary interventions. Although Central Asian cuisine is culturally and historically distinct, there has been little published data on the food and dietary habits of people in this region.

Proposing new body mass index and waist circumference cut-offs based on cardiometabolic risks for a Central Asia population: A feasibility study.

Background: Lower BMI cutoffs as compared to standard cut-offs have been recommended to reduce the risk of obesity-related co-morbidities in some ethnic populations (e.g. south Asian and Chinese populations).

Direct and Indirect Costs Related to Physical Activity Levels in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus in Spain: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a global public health concern. DM is importantly linked to the modern lifestyle. Lifestyle-based interventions currently represent a critical preventive and therapeutic approach for patients with DM.

Genetic factors associated with obesity risks in a Kazakhstani population.

Objectives: There is limited published literature on the genetic risks of chronic inflammatory related disease (eg, obesity and cardiovascular disease) among the Central Asia population. The aim is to determine potential genetic loci as risk factors for obesity for the Kazakhstani population.

Setting: Kazakhstan.

Does a Mediterranean-type dietary pattern exert a cardio-protective effect outside the Mediterranean region? A review of current evidence.

Current evidence suggests a beneficial effect of the Mediterranean diet (MD) on human health. This has led to a rise in studies investigating the role of the MD in cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention outside the region of its origin. We aimed to outline the evolving understanding of the MD and to provide an overview of adherence to MD in non-Mediterranean countries and the modulatory effects of MD on CVD biomarkers.

The Driver Mutational Landscape of Ovarian Squamous Cell Carcinomas Arising in Mature Cystic Teratoma.

We sought to identify the genomic abnormalities in squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) arising in ovarian mature cystic teratoma (MCT), a rare gynecological malignancy of poor prognosis. We performed copy number, mutational state, and zygosity analysis of 151 genes in SCC arising in MCT ( = 25) using next-generation sequencing. The presence of high-/intermediate-risk HPV genotypes was assessed by quantitative PCR.

Cognitive dissonance in food and nutrition-A review.

The study of cognitive dissonance in food and nutrition has been relatively under-developed. This review paper looks at food and/or food-related studies that have utilized cognitive dissonance as a primary construct in a priori theorization and hypothesis-formulation, examining the ways in which the dissonance construct has been used and its corresponding effects on various food-related outcomes in those studies. Current gaps and critical issues underlying cognitive dissonance investigation in food and nutrition research are also identified and discussed.

Consumption of takeaway and fast food in a deprived inner London Borough: are they associated with childhood obesity?

Objective: A major concern is the ubiquitous presence of fast food and takeaway outlets within easy walking distance of schools, particularly in the light of the increasing burden of childhood obesity. Here, the associations between the schoolchildren's weights, their consumption of fast food and takeaway outlets were examined in a deprived inner London Borough.

Design: This is a cross-sectional study.

Characteristics, and disease control and complications of hypertensive patients in primary-care - a community-based study in Singapore.

Introduction: Hypertension is a common chronic condition usually managed by primary-care practitioners in Singapore. This study assessed the characteristics, control and complications of non-diabetic hypertensive patients managed at government primary healthcare clinics.

Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study involving 9 clinics was conducted over 1-week in 2006.

Effects of atherogenic diet and atorvastatin treatment on gene expression profiles in the C57BL/6J mouse liver.

This study investigated the early and long-term effects of atherogenic diet on hepatic gene expression, and the restorative effects of atorvastatin in treating hypercholesterolemia. Two groups of female C57BL/6J mice were fed standard chow or atherogenic diet for 1-week early phase study and two other groups for 10 weeks. The fifth group had daily 10 mg/kg atorvastatin injections for 3 weeks from week 8 of the atherogenic diet.

Sequential responses to high-fat and high-calorie feeding in an obese mouse model.

Objective: Reports on the immediate and long-term responses to high-fat and high-calorie (HFC) feeding are controversial. Therefore, we examined the sequential effects of an HFC diet.

Methods And Procedures: C57BL/6J mice were randomly assigned to consume either the control (C) or the HFC diet.

Sequential effects of a high-fiber diet with psyllium husks on the expression levels of hepatic genes and plasma lipids.

Objective: We studied the sequential effects of a high-fiber diet using psyllium husks on hepatic gene expression and plasma lipid levels.

Methods: C57BL/6J mice were randomly assigned to a control diet or a high-fiber diet containing 10% psyllium husks for 3 weeks (PE-3wk) and 10 weeks (PE-10wk). Oligonucleotide microarrays were used to screen the transcriptional response at both time points.
