Objective: To examine the effect of a sports drink during strenuous exercise on duodenal motility and gastrointestinal symptoms.
Methods: In a cross-over design, seven male triathletes performed two 170-min run-bike-run tests at about 70% peak oxygen uptake (O(2peak)), with either a 7% carbohydrate (CHO) sports drink or tap water. Antroduodenal motility (phase III of the migrating motor complex; MMC) was measured with an ambulant manometry system. The effect of the two exercise trials on the first appearance of the MMC was assessed in the postprandial period.
Results: Exercise heart rate, percentage O(2peak) and loss of body mass did not differ significantly between the two trials. After the start of the exercise, the expected time before the first phase III occurrence, based on the actual energy intake of the last meal in the morning before exercise (1048 +/- 294 kcal), a fixed gastric emptying rate and a lag phase for solid food, was 183 +/- 113 min (mean +/- standard deviation [SD]). The real time period between the start of the exercise with CHO and the first phase III was 63 +/- 61 min, which was significantly shorter than that observed with tap water (152 +/- 59 min). Both real time periods were shorter than the expected time period of 183 +/- 113 min (P < 0.05). During exercise, the number of subjects with a phase III was higher with CHO than with tap water (n =6 v. n =1; P < 0.05). Also, the median number of phases III per hour with CHO was higher than with tap water (0.4 v. 0.0; P < 0.05). During cycling, significantly more phases III per hour (0.9) were measured than during running (0.2). All subjects reported one or more gastrointestinal symptoms during exercise, however, without a clear association with the mode of exercise or supplementation.
Conclusions: Prolonged exercise results in gastrointestinal symptoms and a significant interruption of postprandial motility. Only the latter phenomenon depends on the mode of exercise and supplementation.

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is widely recognized as a powerful analytical technique, offering molecular identification by amplifying characteristic vibrational signals, even at the single-molecule level. While SERS has been successfully applied for a wide range of targets including pesticides, dyes, bacteria, and pharmaceuticals, it has struggled with the detection of molecules with inherently low Raman scattering cross-sections. Urea, a key nitrogen-containing biomolecule and the diamide of carbonic acid, is a prime example of such a challenging target.

Iodinated DBPs (I-DBPs), many more toxic than regulated chlorinated and/or brominated DBPs, are a major challenge in the supply of safe drinking water. While over 800 DBPs have been identified, the occurrence and precursors of toxic I-DBPs remain poorly understood. Herein, natural organic matter from two raw drinking waters was fractionated using ultrafiltration membranes into different groups based on molecular weight (MW).

Despite their potential risks to human health and the environment at ng/L to μg/L concentrations, there has been relatively little effort to measure trace organic compounds (TOrCs) in surface waters of Central America. The concentrations of eighteen TOrCs detected at eleven surface water sites in the Lempa River basin of El Salvador and four sources of drinking water for the cities of San Salvador, Antiguo Cuscatlán, Soyapango, and Santa Tecla are reported here. All samples were analyzed via liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).

The simultaneous detection and removal of Ag from drinking water was crucial for preventing human health, while it was also extremely challenging due to bifunctional materials that combine both Ag adsorption and detection functions rarely being explored. In this study, a benzotrithiophene-based covalent organic framework (TAPA-BTT) was synthesized and applied to detect and remove Ag. TAPA-BTT exhibited high crystallinity, a large specific surface area, and good thermal stability.

Drinking water flavor, a critical water quality metric, exhibits substantial regional variations across China, influenced by local geology and chemistry. Despite growing consumer concerns about water flavor, a spatial assessment of the determinants of water flavor in China has been notably lacking. This study bridges this gap by conducting a spatially comprehensive analysis of 78 tap water samples throughout China.
