Previously, expected satiety (ES) has been measured using software and two-dimensional pictures presented on a computer screen. In this context, ES is an excellent predictor of self-selected portions, when quantified using similar images and similar software. In the present study we sought to establish the veracity of ES as a predictor of behaviours associated with real foods. Participants (N=30) used computer software to assess their ES and ideal portion of three familiar foods. A real bowl of one food (pasta and sauce) was then presented and participants self-selected an ideal portion size. They then consumed the portion ad libitum. Additional measures of appetite, expected and actual liking, novelty, and reward, were also taken. Importantly, our screen-based measures of expected satiety and ideal portion size were both significantly related to intake (p<.05). By contrast, measures of liking were relatively poor predictors (p>.05). In addition, consistent with previous studies, the majority (90%) of participants engaged in plate cleaning. Of these, 29.6% consumed more when prompted by the experimenter. Together, these findings further validate the use of screen-based measures to explore determinants of portion-size selection and energy intake in humans.

A conceptual model for advanced/metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer: a review of qualitative studies and results from patient interviews.
BMC Cancer

Patient Centered Solutions, IQVIA, Reading, UK.
Background: Despite approvals of new first-line immunotherapies for advanced/metastatic gastric cancer/gastroesophageal junction cancer (aGC/GEJC), patients' median survival is around 14 months and their health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is affected by disease-related symptoms and treatment-related side effects. Using a targeted literature review (TLR) and patient interviews, this study identified disease- and treatment-related concepts that are important to patients with aGC/GEJC and their HRQoL.
Methods: A TLR was conducted to identify primary qualitative studies from 2018 to 2021 on patients' experiences with aGC/GEJC.
Satiety-enhancing placebo intervention decreases selective attention to food cues.

Background: As placebo interventions could influence appetite and satiety in first studies, they are a promising tool for the future treatment of obesity. Furthermore, individuals with heightened body weight show increased selective attention for food cues. This study aimed to investigate whether placebo induced changes of appetite and satiety can affect attention allocation and to examine correlating factors.

Dietary choices significantly impact health and daily cognitive performance, prompting various recommendations for eating habits. Whereas much research has focused on the effects of actual satiety on cognitive performance, the influence of expectations regarding effects of satiety on performance remains underexplored. This study aims to address this gap by examining how the expectation of satiety influences cognitive outcomes, building on existing findings that highlight the role of placebo effects in shaping eating behaviour.

Article Synopsis
- Obesity significantly increases the risk of noncommunicable diseases and can shorten life expectancy by up to 20 years, primarily due to factors like disrupted energy balance, genetics, and lifestyle.
- Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), known as obesogens, affect lipid homeostasis by increasing adipocyte size and number, influencing appetite regulation, and altering insulin sensitivity across various organs.
- Although research on obesogens is growing, the exact mechanisms remain unclear, and more epidemiological studies are essential to better understand human exposure to these harmful substances.
Delineating anticipatory arousal from reward consumption: evaluating fixed-intervals in cocaine seeking-taking response chains.

Rationale: Anticipation is a critical antecedent to drug use, in which the prospect of imminent drug availability can potently motivate instrumental actions directed to procure it. Models that capture the behavioral dynamics that precede drug access may allow for the dissociation of key neural mechanisms underlying appetitive or consummatory processes in drug self-administration.
Objectives: We aimed to isolate measurements attributed to the procurement and consumption of a reward by defining distinct actions for each using a chain-schedule of reinforcement.
