Food insecurity and the consumption of plant-centered meals and high sodium foods among students at three large state universities.

To examine the associations between food insecurity and plant-centered meal consumption and other sodium-related dietary behaviors among university students. A web-based survey of students at three California state universities was conducted between August 2018 to May 2019. Multivariable logistic regressions examined the associations between food insecurity and four sodium-related dietary behaviors.

Synthesis of 3-Aminoazaindazoles via Cu-Catalyzed Cross Coupling of Isocyanides.

Nitrogen-containing heterocycles are commonly encountered in drug discovery, but the synthesis of such ring structures is not always efficient. Fused heterocyclic rings, in particular, can be challenging to synthesize. Herein, we report a highly convergent synthesis of 3-aminoazaindazoles via a Cu-catalyzed reaction between isocyanides and 3-halo-2-hydrazineylpyridines (and analogues).

Template assisted lithium superoxide growth for lithium-oxygen batteries.

Developing batteries with energy densities comparable to internal combustion technology is essential for a worldwide transition to electrified transportation. Li-O batteries are seen as the 'holy grail' of battery technologies since they have the highest theoretical energy density of all battery technologies. Current lithium-oxygen (Li-O) batteries suffer from large charge overpotentials related to the electronic resistivity of the insulating lithium peroxide (LiO) discharge product.

Survey of maternal anxiety and perceptions towards foetal MRI and pre-scan education.

Introduction: Foetal MRI scans can induce feelings of fear, concern and anxiety in pregnant patients. The aim of this research was to determine if providing patients with an information leaflet reduced maternal anxiety regarding foetal MRI.

Methods: A prospective, three-arm comparative pilot study was performed in the MRI department of a quaternary public hospital in Brisbane, Australia.

Use of digital measurement of medication adherence and lung function to guide the management of uncontrolled asthma (INCA Sun): a multicentre, single-blinded, randomised clinical trial.

Background: The clinical value of using digital tools to assess adherence and lung function in uncontrolled asthma is not known. We aimed to compare treatment decisions guided by digitally acquired data on adherence, inhaler technique, and peak flow with existing methods.

Methods: A 32-week prospective, multicentre, single-blinded, parallel, randomly controlled trial was done in ten severe asthma clinics across Ireland, Northern Ireland, and England.
