I use anchoring vignettes to show that, on data for eleven European countries, exposure to episodes of hunger in childhood leads people to adopt lower subjective standards to evaluate satisfaction with life in adulthood. I also show that, as a consequence, estimates of the association between childhood starvation and late-life wellbeing that do not allow for reporting heterogeneity are biased towards finding a positive correlation. These results highlight the need to consider rescaling when drawing inference on subjective outcomes.

Blue food processing applies to the production and processing of fish, algae, and other aquatic organisms for human consumption. As the global population grows and consumer demand for protein-rich foods increases, there is increased interest in exploring a wide range of innovative approaches for processing blue foods in ways that improve the efficiency, sustainability, and nutritional quality of these products and reduce the environmental impact of their production. Existing approaches to process blue foods including fishing and aquaculture for production and manual processing at landing are not sufficiently scalable, efficient, or environmentally sustainable for today's global needs.

Fresh fish is among the most nutritive foodstuffs, but it is also the most perishable one. Therefore, huge efforts have been made to find the most suitable tools to deliver fish of the highest quality to exigent consumers. Scientific studies help the industry to exploit the newest findings to scale up emerging industrial technologies.

Article Synopsis
- Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is difficult to diagnose, often requiring invasive iliac crest biopsies, which can extend the duration of disease and increase patient burden due to missed clinical suspicion.
- A noninvasive method to assess the patient's condition is being sought, focusing on estimating osteoid volumes and addressing complications like hungry bone syndrome after tumor removal.
- The study used advanced imaging and biopsy analysis techniques to confirm high osteoid volumes in TIO patients and developed a model that enables the noninvasive prediction of the osteoid volume to bone volume ratio, showing significant differences compared to osteoporosis patients and healthy controls.
Applying precision medicine principles to the management of multimorbidity: the utility of comorbidity networks, graph machine learning, and knowledge graphs.

The current management of patients with multimorbidity is suboptimal, with either a single-disease approach to care or treatment guideline adaptations that result in poor adherence due to their complexity. Although this has resulted in calls for more holistic and personalized approaches to prescribing, progress toward these goals has remained slow. With the rapid advancement of machine learning (ML) methods, promising approaches now also exist to accelerate the advance of precision medicine in multimorbidity.

In today's fast-paced world, people increasingly rely on a variety of processed foods due to their busy lifestyles. The enhanced flavors, vibrant colors, and ease of accessibility at reasonable prices have made ready-to-eat foods the easiest and simplest choice to satiate hunger, especially those that undergo thermal processing. However, these foods often contain an unsaturated amide called 'Acrylamide', known by its chemical name 2-propenamide, which is a contaminant formed when a carbohydrate- or protein-rich food product is thermally processed at more than 120 °C through methods like frying, baking, or roasting.
