Traditional food testing methods, primarily confined to laboratory settings, are increasingly inadequate to detect covert food adulteration techniques. Hence, a crucial review of recent technological strides to combat food fraud is essential. This comprehensive analysis explores state-of-the-art technologies in food analysis, accentuating the pivotal role of sophisticated data processing methods and the amalgamation of diverse technologies in enhancing food authenticity testing. The paper assesses the merits and drawbacks of distinct data processing techniques and explores their potential synergies. The future of food authentication hinges on the integration of portable smart detection devices with mobile applications for real-time food analysis, including miniaturized spectrometers and portable sensors. This integration, coupled with advanced machine learning and deep learning for robust model construction, promises to achieve real-time, on-site food detection. Moreover, effective data processing, encompassing preprocessing, chemometrics, and regression analysis, remains indispensable for precise food authentication.

: While it is generally assumed that common neurobehavioral assessments, such as the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, Fourth Edition (WAIS-IV), function similarly in clinical and non-clinical populations, this has not been validated in adults with congenital heart disease (CHD). In this study, we examined the latent factor structure of the WAIS-IV in adults with d-transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA) who participated in the Boston Circulatory Arrest Study. : The WAIS-IV was administered as part of a larger assessment battery.

Background: Doulas, non-clinical professionals who provide support throughout the perinatal period, can positively impact patient experiences and clinical outcomes during birth. Doulas often support hospital-based births without being employed by the hospital system, resulting in varied relationships with hospitals and clinicians. Systems-level changes are needed to maximize collaboration between hospitals and doulas to ensure facilitation of, and not barriers to, doula support.

Background: Bicycle messengers in the online food delivery sector typically work on an on-demand basis, have digitally mediated relationships with their employer, and have very limited labor rights. In this study, we explore how bicycle messengers themselves experience their workday and how platform work influences their identity and wellbeing.
Method: We conducted qualitative interviews with ten bicycle messengers working for Foodora and Wolt in Bergen and Oslo, Norway.

Background: Intermuscular bones (IBs) are segmental intramembranous ossifications located within myosepta. They share similarities with tendon ossification, a form of heterotopic ossification (HO). The mechanisms underlying IB formation remain incompletely understood.

Background: We sought consensus among practising respiratory physicians on the prediction, identification and monitoring of progression in patients with fibrosing interstitial lung disease (ILD) using a modified Delphi process.
Methods: Following a literature review, statements on the prediction, identification and monitoring of progression of ILD were developed by a panel of physicians with specialist expertise. Practising respiratory physicians were sent a survey asking them to indicate their level of agreement with these statements on a binary scale or 7-point Likert scale (- 3 to 3), or to select answers from a list.
