Background And Aims: Prebiotics such as Arabinoxylooligosaccharides (AXOS) are non-digestible, fermentable food ingredients stimulating growth/activity of colonic bacteria with enhanced carbohydrates fermentation (CF) in humans. The migrating motor complex (MMC) of the gastrointestinal tract has been recently identified as an important hunger signal, but no data are available yet on the role of acute CF on MMC activity and related hunger ratings. Thus, we aimed to study the effect of acute AXOS CF on MMC and hunger in humans.
Methods: A total of 13 healthy volunteers were randomized in a single-blind crossover placebo-controlled study where 9.4 g of AXOS or 10 g of maltodextrin and 1 g of unlabelled lactose ureide (LU) were given 12 hours prior to the study and, in the next morning, together with a pancake containing 500 mg of C-LU. In 10 hours after the meal, CO and hydrogen excretion were determined every 15 minutes while hunger/appetite ratings every 2 minutes through a VAS questionnaire. Five hours after the meal, antroduodenal motility was measured using HRM.
Key Results: AXOS significantly increased CF (158 ± 81 vs 840 ± 464 H2 ppm*minute, placebo vs AXOS, P < .05) without affecting the orocecal transit time (OCTT). AXOS had no significant effect on the occurrence, origin, and duration of phase III and on the total number, origin, and duration of phases I and II. Hunger and appetite scores prior and after phase III were not affected by AXOS.
Conclusions: AXOS acutely increases colonic fermentation, but this neither affects OCTT, activity of the MMC, nor interdigestive hunger scores in man.

Satiety-enhancing placebo intervention decreases selective attention to food cues.
Front Psychiatry

Institute of Medical Psychology, Faculty of Medicine, Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich, Munich, Germany.
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.

Reduction of food fat content often comes at the cost of sensory appeal. Given that odours can enhance various fat-related sensory characteristics, their use as fat substitutes seems promising. This cross-over study investigated whether sensory characteristics of a low-fat product (dairy milk) can be enhanced by the addition of a fat-related aroma (cream) and whether this influences subsequent eating behaviour within an ecologically valid scenario.

Background: Measures of quality in resident training in plastic and reconstructive surgery (PRS) programs are scarce and often methodologically inconsistent. Our research provides insights from current PRS trainees globally, mapping their training inputs, expected outputs, and recommendations for program improvements.
Methods: A global online survey was conducted among PRS residents across 70 countries to gauge their satisfaction with residency training, capturing training inputs such as the number of surgeries attended and seminars they participated in.
Lower subjective status is associated with reduced satiation and satiety among children and adolescents: A laboratory study.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how children's perceptions of their social and socioeconomic status (subjective status) affect feelings of fullness (satiation) and hunger (satiety) after eating.
- It found that children with lower subjective social status (SSS) feel less satiated after eating and report higher hunger levels over the next 90 minutes.
- The findings suggest that experiencing low subjective status might dull feelings of fullness, potentially leading to overeating and higher body mass in children and adolescents.
Empathetic solicitude attenuates the affective and sensory dimensions of CO-induced dyspnea: A randomized parallel arm experimental trial in healthy humans.

Dyspnea testifies to profound suffering in patients and its relief is a priority for caregivers. This can be achieved by correcting causative disorders ("etiopathogenic" approach) or targeting the dyspnea itself ("symptomatic" approach), as is done for pain. Empathetic solicitude from caregivers has an intrinsic analgesic effect, but its effects on dyspnea have not been formally documented.
