Many chronic medical conditions that can result from poor nutrition are more prevalent in the incarcerated population than in the general population. With the increasing prevalence of chronic medical conditions and limited knowledge on foods accessible to the population, this study assessed the 4-week menu fed to all incarcerated males at state-run facilities in Alabama. Compared with the Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range for the average incarcerated male, the percentage of energy from total fat, saturated fat, sodium, and cholesterol exceeded the recommendation.

Studies have demonstrated that the quality and transparency of reporting Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) in healthcare are low. This meta-research aimed to evaluate the adherence of nutrition CPGs for critically ill adults to the reporting RIGHT checklist and its association with the methodological quality assessed by AGREE II, along with other potential publication-related factors. A systematic search for CPGs until December 2024 was conducted.

Quantification of the non-linear relationship between arsenic (As) and physico-chemical parameters in groundwater through a Self-Organizing Map (SOM) was performed for the first time in Chapai-Nawabganj, Bangladesh. Due to the continuous assessment of groundwater quality, the spatial distribution of As with associated elements was observed for the aerial extent of contaminated groundwater. The results exhibited that 57 % and 31 % of groundwater samples (n = 35) exceeded the allowable limit of As according to the WHO recommended drinking water standard (10 μg/L) and Bangladesh Drinking Water Standard (BDWS) (50 μg/L), respectively.

Industrial Engineering, Tshwane University of Technology, Pretoria, Gauteng, 0183, South Africa.
Background: This research investigated the dynamics of fee-free higher education in South Africa, analysing the interplay of socioeconomic, political, and institutional factors to elucidate the complexities surrounding its implementation and impact. Using a causal loop diagram approach (CLD), the study aims to identify key factors to effective implementation, how they interact to shape the outcome of the policy, and actionable strategies to address the challenges hindering the policy sustainability.
Method: A participatory approach was used to developing the CLD, integrating insights from an extensive literature review and stakeholder opinion.

Background: Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a complex form of dysautonomia that presents with abnormal autonomic reflexes upon standing, leading to symptoms such as lightheadedness, tachycardia, fatigue, and cognitive impairment. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought renewed attention to POTS due to its overlap with post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC). Studies have found that a substantial percentage of COVID-19 survivors exhibit symptoms resembling POTS, elevating POTS diagnoses to previously unseen levels.
