Previous research has shown that demographics, beliefs, and self-reported own health influence TTO values. Our hypothesis is that attitudes towards length and quality of life influence TTO values, but should no longer affect a set of related choices that are based on respondents' own TTO scores. A representative sample of 1339 respondents was asked their level of agreement to four statements relating to the importance of quality and length of life. Respondents then went on to value 4 EQ-5D 5L states using an online interactive survey and a related set of 6 pairwise health-related choice questions, set up, so that respondents should be indifferent between choice options. We explored the impact of attitudes using regression analysis for TTO values and a logit model for choices. TTO values were correlated with the attitudes and were found to have a residual impact on the choices. In particular, those respondents who preferred quality of life over length of life gave less weight to the differences in years and more weight to differences in quality of life in these choice. We conclude that although the TTO responses reflect attitudes, these attitudes continue to affect health-related choices.

The current study had aimed to assess the long-term dietary supplementation with Melaleucae aetheroleum, tea tree essential oil (TTO). The impact on growth performance, biochemical indices, immune function, oxidant/antioxidant activity, gene expression, histopathology, and resistance against Aeromonas sobria in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) was investigated. Four groups (with five replicates; G1 (control group, G2, G3, and G4) of Nile tilapia received diets enriched with TTO (doses of 0.

Background: To assess the validity of time trade-off (TTO) and standard gamble (SG) techniques of utility valuation among patients with periodontal problems by assessing their relation to two logical constructs; Gingival Index (GI) and Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) Questionnaire.
Materials And Methods: Two hundred and one patients aged 18 years old and above, who visited a tertiary care hospital for treatment/consultation were included. A questionnaire was administered to record the TTO, SG, and OHIP.
The amyloid fibril-stabilized Pickering emulsion significantly enhances the mechanical and barrier properties of Konjac Glucomannan active films for cherry preservation.

Konjac glucomannan (KGM), a natural polymer, is an excellent candidate for use in food packaging due to its desirable film-forming characteristics. However, the limited barrier, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties of pure KGM films restrict their practical applications. To reinforce the barrier and functional properties of KGM-based films, tea tree oil (TTO) Pickering emulsions stabilized by chitosan-modified soy protein derivative-amyloid fibril (AFS) were prepared and incorporated into KGM matrices.

Background: The dead state can affect the value sets derived from discrete choice experiments (DCEs). Our aim was to empirically assess the direct impact of the immediate death state on health utilities using discrete choice experiment with time (DCE).
Methods: A sample of the general population in Quebec, Canada, completed two approaches: DCE followed by a best-worst scaling with time (BWS) (hereafter referred to as DCE), versus DCE followed by the dominated option and the immediate death state (hereafter referred to as DCE), both designed with the SF-6Dv2.

Background: An updated version of the Short-Form 6-Dimension (SF-6D) Classification System has been developed. This new version (SF-6Dv2) with improved consistency and dimension descriptors is now requiring the development of new utility value sets. The aim of this study was to estimate an SF-6Dv2 value set from a general population in Quebec, Canada.
