Predictive equation derived from 6,497 doubly labelled water measurements enables the detection of erroneous self-reported energy intake.

Nutritional epidemiology aims to link dietary exposures to chronic disease, but the instruments for evaluating dietary intake are inaccurate. One way to identify unreliable data and the sources of errors is to compare estimated intakes with the total energy expenditure (TEE). In this study, we used the International Atomic Energy Agency Doubly Labeled Water Database to derive a predictive equation for TEE using 6,497 measures of TEE in individuals aged 4 to 96 years.

Pharmacy students' perspective on remote flipped classrooms in Malaysia: a qualitative study.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore pharmacy students' perceptions of remote flipped classrooms in Malaysia, focusing on their learning experiences and identifying areas for potential improvement to inform future educational strategies.

Methods: A qualitative approach was employed, utilizing inductive thematic analysis. Twenty Bachelor of Pharmacy students (18 women, 2 men; age range, 19-24 years) from Monash University participated in 8 focus group discussions over 2 rounds during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic (2020-2021).

Healthcare providers' (HCPs) perspectives in initiating discussion on mammogram screening, and their perceived barriers and enablers to screening in women-A qualitative study.

Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, and mammogram screening can reduce breast cancer mortality. Healthcare providers' perspectives can have an impact on encouraging females to attend mammogram screening.

Objective: To understand healthcare providers' (HCPs) perspectives in initiating discussion on mammogram screening, and their perceived barriers and enablers to screening in women.

Endoscopic Debridement, Ostectomy, Release, and Radiofrequency: A Fully Endoscopic Technique for Treating Recalcitrant Plantar Fasciitis.

Plantar fasciitis (PF), a common cause of heel pain, primarily results from inflammation of the plantar fascia due to excessive strain. Its complex pathophysiology, influenced by various biomechanical factors, has led to the development of diverse surgical techniques. Most of these techniques, when used in isolation, have shown benefits in treating refractory PF.

Malaysia outbreak survivors retain detectable Nipah antibodies and memory B cells after 25 years.

Objective: To evaluate the long-term humoral immune response to Nipah virus (NiV) in a cohort of 25 survivors after 25 years of post-infection.

Methods: A total of 25 survivors of NiV infection from the 1998 outbreak were recruited for sample collection. The serum IgG antibody response to NiV antigens, specifically nucleocapsid (N), fusion glycoprotein (F) and attachment glycoprotein (G) was evaluated using ELISA.
