Background: The COVID-19 pandemic impacted some dietary habits of Americans.
Objective: We examined characteristics associated with a high intake of sweet foods and sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) during the COVID-19 pandemic among US adults.
Design: This was a cross-sectional study.

The East and Pacific region includes 14 Pacific Island Countries where, between 2000 and 2016, indicators of stunting, wasting, and micronutrient deficiencies have plateaued or worsened, while rates of overweight, obesity, and associated disease have risen. The Republic of Marshall Islands (RMI) is no exception: maternal and child nutrition indicators have not improved in decades. A study of the contemporary factors shaping the RMI nutrition situation was needed for informing policy and tailoring interventions.

Background/aims: Several specific foods are known to precipitate gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms and GERD patients are usually advised to avoid such foods. However, foods consumed daily are quite variable according to regions, cultures, etc. This study was done to elucidate the food items which induce typical GERD symptoms in Korean patients.

Three multi-step multi-molecular approaches using the biotin-streptavidin system to contact-print DNA arrays on SiO2 surfaces modified with (3-glycidoxypropyl)trimethoxysilane are examined after each deposition/reaction step by atomic force microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometry. Surface modification involves the spotting of preformed conjugates of biotinylated oligonucleotides with streptavidin onto surfaces coated with biotinylated bovine serum albumin b-BSA (approach I) or the spotting of biotinylated oligonucleotides onto a streptavidin coating, the latter prepared through a reaction with immobilized b-BSA (approach II) or direct adsorption (approach III). AFM micrographs, quantified by autocorrelation and height histogram parameters (e.

Objective: Analysing dietary data to capture how individuals typically consume foods is dependent on the coding variables used. Individual foods consumed simultaneously, like coffee with milk, are given codes to identify these combinations. Our literature review revealed a lack of discussion about using combination codes in analysis.
