Background: Effective hemorrhage protocols prioritize immediate hemostatic resuscitation to manage hemorrhagic shock. Prehospital resuscitation using blood products, such as whole blood or alternatively dried plasma in its absence, has the potential to improve outcomes in hemorrhagic shock patients. However, integrating blood products into prehospital care poses substantial logistical challenges due to issues with storage, transport, and administration in field environments.

%diag_test: a generic SAS macro for evaluating diagnostic accuracy measures for multiple diagnostic tests.

BMC Med Inform Decis Mak

January 2025

Institute of Mathematical Sciences Centre for Health Analytics and Modelling (CHaM), Strathmore University, Nairobi, Kenya.

Background: Measures of diagnostic test accuracy provide evidence of how well a test correctly identifies or rules-out disease. Commonly used diagnostic accuracy measures (DAMs) include sensitivity and specificity, predictive values, likelihood ratios, area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUROC), area under precision-recall curves (AUPRC), diagnostic effectiveness (accuracy), disease prevalence, and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) etc. Most available analysis tools perform accuracy testing for a single diagnostic test using summarized data.

Effects of Longer-Term Mixed Nut Consumption on Lipoprotein Particle Concentrations in Older Adults with Overweight or Obesity.

Nutrients

December 2024

Department of Nutrition and Movement Sciences, NUTRIM Institute of Nutrition and Translational Research in Metabolism, Maastricht University Medical Center, 6229 ER Maastricht, The Netherlands.

Background: Recently, we reported that longer-term mixed nut intake significantly reduced serum total and low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol, but these markers may not fully capture lipoprotein-related cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk.

Objectives: This randomized, controlled, single-blinded, crossover trial in older adults with overweight or obesity examined the effects of longer-term mixed nut consumption on lipoprotein particle size, number, and lipid distribution.

Methods: Twenty-eight participants (aged 65 ± 3 years; BMI 27.

Curcuminoid absorption can be influenced by the presence of additional compounds, but there has been no study investigating this in a robust manner. The aim of this clinical trial was to assess the effect of the type of food matrix on the absorption of curcuminoids from a highly bioavailable turmeric formulation. Participants consumed the turmeric formulation in the form of capsules, a ready-to-drink fruit nectar, a sports nutrition bar, a dairy analogue (oat milk), pectin gummies, and a probiotic drink in a randomized, crossover study.
