Objective: To develop and to validate a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) to assess potassium intake of patients on hemodialysis.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study that included 41 patients in the FFQ development step and 53 patients in the FFQ validation step. In the FFQ development step, the patients completed a 3-day food record (used as a reference method). Total potassium intake and potassium from each food item were calculated. Food items that contributed up to 90% of the total potassium intake were considered to be included in the FFQ food list. Then the FFQ was applied in person through the google-forms platform. The result of potassium intake obtained by the FFQ was compared with that obtained by the 3-day food record.
Results: A total of 94 patients were included: 53.2% women; age 55.7 ± 15.0 years; 47.9% had diabetes; body mass index 25.0 ± 4.5 kg/m; and dialysis vintage 34.5 (17.0-68.2) months. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory parameters did not differ between the development and validation groups. From the 255 registered food items, 85 comprised the FFQ. The standardized Cronbach's alpha obtained was 0.71. No difference was found between the potassium intake obtained by the FFQ and by the 3-day food record (1,438.5 ± 659.4 mg/d vs. 1,464.8 ± 529.4 mg/d; P = .753, respectively) with an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.66 (P = .001). No systematic bias or proportionality bias between the methods was observed in the Bland-Altman graphical analysis.
Conclusion: The quantitative FFQ presented strong relative validity and may constitute a practical tool in the analysis of potassium intake of patients on hemodialysis.

Neurobehavioral plasticity in the rodent gustatory system induced by regular consumption of a low-calorie sweetener during adolescence.

Habitual consumption of low-calorie sweeteners (LCS) during juvenile-adolescence can lead to greater sugar intake later in life. Here, we investigated if exposure to the LCS Acesulfame Potassium (Ace-K) during this critical period of development reprograms the taste system in a way that would alter hedonic responding for common dietary compounds. Results revealed that early-life LCS intake not only enhanced the avidity for a caloric sugar (fructose) when rats were in a state of caloric need, it increased acceptance of a bitterant (quinine) in Ace-K-exposed rats tested when middle-aged.

Objectives: To assess adherence to the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet over a decade among community-dwelling older adults, with and without hypertension and to examine associated factors.
Study Design: Cross-sectional study.
Methods: Data from two cross-sectional Israel National Health and Nutrition Surveys (NHNS) for older adults, from 2005 to 2006 (NHNS1) and 2014-2015 (NHNS2) were analysed.
Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Nutrition, Novel Foods and Food Allergens (NDA) was asked to deliver an opinion on a mineral salt, containing potassium and magnesium, as a novel food (NF) pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283. The NF is a mineral salt that consists mainly of magnesium potassium trichloride hexahydrate. The information provided on the composition is sufficient for characterising the NF and does not raise safety concerns.

Its prevalence and severity increase in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), diabetes mellitus, and heart failure (HF), particularly when compounded by medications like Angiotensin converting inhibitors, Angiotensin receptor blockers, and potassium sparing diuretics.

Background: Many studies have reported the renal outcomes and metabolic consequences after augmentation cystoplasty (AC), however few studies have discussed changes in renal tubular function. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of metabolic disturbances, evaluate renal tubular function and 24-hour urine chemistry to evaluate the association between metabolic alterations and urolithiasis after AC.
Methods: We investigated serum biochemistry, blood gas, and 24-hour urinary metabolic profile of children who underwent AC between January 2000 and December 2020.
