We systematically replicated Bachmeyer et al. (2009) by examining extinction procedures matched to each function, individually and in combination, to treat the food or liquid refusal of 4 children diagnosed with a feeding disorder whose inappropriate mealtime behavior was maintained by multiple functions (i.e., escape and attention). Previous research suggests that adding differential reinforcement to extinction procedures may result in better treatment outcomes. Therefore, we added differential reinforcement to extinction procedures matched to each function. Differential reinforcement and extinction matched only to escape or attention resulted in low rates of inappropriate mealtime behavior and high, stable levels of acceptance for only 1 child. Consistent with Bachmeyer et al., inappropriate mealtime behavior decreased, and acceptance increased for the remaining 3 children only after we matched differential reinforcement and extinction procedures to both escape and attention.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the feasibility of implementing the 'Food is Medicine' intervention for managing type 2 diabetes in China, considering the distinct dietary culture and habits.
- Interviews and focus groups were conducted with 97 individuals across three Chinese provinces, revealing concerns about meal costs and dietary knowledge, while identifying key facilitators like clinician support and community collaboration.
- Despite some barriers, the research suggests that tailored 'Food is Medicine' interventions could be effective in addressing type 2 diabetes in China by leveraging local resources and practices.

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is an emerging tool for dietary counseling in athletes. This study aimed to explore blood glucose profiles in Para cyclists and evaluate CGM accuracy at rest and during exercise. Thirteen Para cyclists, comprising eight hand bikers and five cyclists, wore a CGM sensor (Abbott) for 2 weeks.

Department of Paediatrics and Child Health, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of the Free State, Bloemfontein.
Background: Lifestyle factors of medical doctors are essential to their health and well-being. Previous studies omitted factors that constituted a healthy lifestyle and did not differentiate between various medical specialties or level of seniority which may expose doctors to different stress levels, workload and responsibility. The study assessed the lifestyle factors of medical doctors and compared them between departments, levels of seniority, years of experience and gender according to globally recognised health standards.

Article Synopsis
- Inappropriate meal timing may lead to lifestyle-related diseases by disrupting the circadian clock in the body, but it's unclear how this compares to genetic alterations in clock genes.
- This study compared the impacts of a 28-hour feeding cycle and a specific genetic alteration (Bmal1 cKO) on gene expression in mice's uterine tissues.
- Results showed that while both conditions led to significant changes in gene expression, the specific genes affected were largely different and often oppositely regulated, indicating distinct pathways influenced by meal timing and genetic factors.
