The efficacy and real-world effectiveness of a diet low in fermentable oligo-, di-, monosaccharides and polyols in irritable bowel syndrome: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background & Aims: A diet low in fermentable oligo-, di-, monosaccharides, and polyols (LFD) has been shown to effectively reduce irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms. Effects resulting from real-world studies may differ from those seen in efficacy studies because of the diversity of patients in real-world settings. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare the effect of the LFD on reducing IBS symptoms and improving the quality of life (QoL) in efficacy trials and real-world studies.

Development of a diet quality score and adherence to the Swiss dietary recommendations for vegans.

The Nutritional Content of Meal Images in Free-Living Conditions-Automatic Assessment with goFOOD.

A healthy diet can help to prevent or manage many important conditions and diseases, particularly obesity, malnutrition, and diabetes. Recent advancements in artificial intelligence and smartphone technologies have enabled applications to conduct automatic nutritional assessment from meal images, providing a convenient, efficient, and accurate method for continuous diet evaluation. We now extend the goFOOD automatic system to perform food segmentation, recognition, volume, as well as calorie and macro-nutrient estimation from single images that are captured by a smartphone.

The Efficacy of a Diet Low in Fermentable Oligo-, Di-, Monosaccharides, and Polyols in Irritable Bowel Syndrome Compared to Its "Real-world" Effectiveness: Protocol for a Systematic Review.

Background: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is associated with various gastrointestinal and nongastrointestinal symptoms and reduced quality of life. A diet low in fermentable oligo-, di-, monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAPs) is one therapeutic option for IBS. Although the efficacy of the low FODMAP diet has been reported in several systematic reviews, the efficacy-effectiveness gap of the low FODMAP diet has not yet been assessed.

Graphlet correlation distance to compare small graphs.

Graph models are standard for representing mutual relationships between sets of entities. Often, graphs deal with a large number of entities with a small number of connections (e.g.
