A videofluorographic (VF) swallowing study was performed on 22 healthy volunteers to observe the complete mastication and swallowing phases for Japanese udon noodles and white rice. The hardness, stickiness, and cohesiveness of food samples were measured using a food texture analyzing system. VF images were acquired using a versatile fluoroscopic unit and barium sulfate was used as a contrast medium. Udon noodles had a harder and smoother food texture than white rice. Fewer chewing movements and more stage 2 transport were seen during the consumption of udon noodles than for white rice.

Article Synopsis
- Infants under 1 year with food allergies typically need to avoid certain foods, but low-dose oral food challenges (LD-OFCs) may help safely introduce small amounts.
- A study analyzed LD-OFCs for infants allergic to hen's egg, cow's milk, or wheat, noting mostly mild skin reactions and no severe incidents like anaphylaxis.
- The findings suggest that infants can safely consume small doses of allergenic foods, indicating that complete elimination isn't always necessary when reintroducing these foods.

Background: Allergic reactions to milk appear sooner than those to hen's eggs, irrespective of the total dose of the oral food challenges (OFCs) and type of matrices. The reported median times for the first symptom occurrence are 20-30 min with milk and 50-60 min with eggs. However, allergic reactions due to wheat have not yet been fully investigated.

It is important to provide "Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support," the ongoing process of facilitating the knowledge, skills, and ability necessary for diabetes self-care, immediately after diagnosis. In this 12-month (12 M) longitudinal observational study, outpatients within 3 months of their first diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) were surveyed at baseline (BL) and 12 M using a self-administered questionnaire used in the "Lifestyle Intervention Support Software for Diabetes Prevention" and medical record survey. To explore factors associated with the change extent in HbA1c level during the 12 M post-diagnosis, hierarchical multiple regression analysis was performed with sex, age, HbA1c level at BL, medication in the first 12 M post-diagnosis, and lifestyle behaviors related to diet and exercise therapy as independent variables.
