Objective: Feeding concerns, primarily food selectivity, are commonly observed in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Prevalence rates suggest that at least half of autistic youth have feeding difficulties.
Methods: A retrospective chart review examining records of a large cohort of autistic children (N = 746) referred for ASD evaluation was conducted. Families completed a survey regarding feeding concerns in their children before a diagnostic evaluation.
Results: Post hoc analyses based on retrospective chart review revealed approximately 30% of caregivers reported significant difficulty feeding their child. Young age, food selectivity, and concerns about weight were associated with increased likelihood of reported feeding difficulties. There was clear overlap between overall feeding difficulties and specific food selectivity; however, 1 in 5 children whose caregivers did not report feeding difficulties endorsed food selectivity.
Conclusion: Findings highlight the need for multipronged approaches to screening to facilitate service prioritization by pediatric providers.

Radiocaesium and radiostrontium transfer to an insect herbivore and an insect detritivore through holometabolous development: A comparison between the cabbage butterfly (Pieris brassicae) and the black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens).

The presence of the long-lived radionuclides Cs and Sr in ecosystems is a major environmental concern because bioavailable forms of the radionuclides are readily transferred to living organisms. The present study investigated how holometabolous insect development influences the fate of radiocaesium and radiostrontium by examining the behaviour of tracers (Cs and Sr) and stable elements during the larval feeding stage (21-23 days old), the pupal stage, and the adult stage. We aimed to evaluate the degree to which an herbivore or a detritivore food chain could serve as transfer pathways to higher trophic levels in terms of accumulation potential, and during which stage of development the accumulation potential is highest.

Micro and nanoplastics (MNPs) pose significant environmental concerns due to their potential implications for ecosystems and human health. While previous research has primarily focused on the environmental impacts (aquatic ecosystem, soil health) of MNPs, this review investigates their interactions with agricultural stored products, specifically their effects on stored product pests and grain quality. MNPs can infiltrate grains through various pathways, including atmospheric deposition, plastic residues from cultivation, and pest activity.

School of Population Health, Curtin University, Perth, Australia.
Purpose: There is a consistent link between perfectionism and compulsive exercise, and both are implicated in the maintenance of eating disorders, however no meta-analysis to date has quantified this relationship. We hypothesised that there would be significant, small-moderate pooled correlations between perfectionism dimensions and compulsive exercise.
Methods: Published, peer-reviewed articles with standardised measures of perfectionism and the Compulsive Exercise Test were included.
Are Seed Oils the Culprit in Cardiometabolic and Chronic Diseases? A Narrative Review.
Nutr Rev

The demonization of seed oils "campaign" has become stronger over the decades. Despite the dietary guidelines provided by nutritional experts recommending the limiting of saturated fat intake and its replacement with unsaturated fat-rich food sources, some health experts ignore the dietary guidelines and the available human research evidence, suggesting the opposite. As contrarians, these individuals could easily shift public opinion so that dietary behavior moves away from intake of unsaturated fat-rich food sources (including seed oils) toward saturated fats, which is very concerning.

Purpose Of Review: The objective of this review is to examine the available evidence concerning feeding interruptions before extubation and other medical procedures in ICUs. We will analyze the physiological mechanisms involved, the potential risks associated with feeding interruptions, as well as the results of recent clinical studies. Additionally, we will explore current practices and recommendations from major professional societies, as well as recent innovations aimed at minimizing feeding interruptions.
