Novel hydrothermal modification to alter functionality and reduce glycemic response of pea starch.

Despite being an effective and clean-label method, heat-moisture treatment (HMT) is not commonly used for starch modification in industry due to the difficulty of scale-up. This study aimed to develop a novel method of using extrusion combined with high-temperature drying (EHTD) as an alternative to HMT for starch modification. Pea starch was subjected to extrusion at 37.

Dietary Quality and Nutrient Intakes of Elite Paracyclists.

Nutrient requirements for para-athletes will be influenced by a variety of factors secondary to their impairment and, therefore, recommendations for para-athletes cannot be drawn directly from that of able-bodied athletes. Information on the dietary intakes of para-athletes is lacking and therefore needs to be examined. This study assessed the nutrient intakes and diet quality of 31 paracyclists via food frequency questionnaires.

A spontaneously healed distal femoral fracture in an infant born preterm: A case report and review of the literature.

Distal femoral fractures are uncommon in the newborn period, and conventional radiographs can miss the diagnosis in infants born prematurely due to delayed ossification. Hence, modalities like ultrasound may have a role in diagnosis. Herein, we report a male infant born preterm with a swollen knee due to a distal femoral fracture after a non-traumatic Caesarean section.
