Objective: To analyze the association between the addition of micronutrients and the use of health and nutrition claims (HNC) in processed and ultra-processed products, and to evaluate whether this association differs according to the nutritional quality.
Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study utilized data from 17 264 packaged foods and beverages available in major supermarket chains in Mexico City in 2017. Information was obtained from the front-of-packages (for HNC), nutrition facts table (energy and nutrients of concern), and ingredient lists (sources of micronutrients).
Results: 25% (95%CI: 26.8,28.3%) of products reported added micronutrients. In this group, the use of HNC was higher compared to those without added micronutrients (55.1 vs. 27.5%). Finally, the proportion of products classified as excess energy (PR 1.11, 95%CI: 1.07,1.16), free sugars (PR 1.09, 95%CI: 1.04,1.15), and with non-sugar sweeteners (PR 4.05, 95%CI: 3.64,4.50) were higher in products that displayed HNC and with micronutrients added compared to products without HNC and micronutrients.
Conclusion: The addition of micronutrients was more frequent in ultra-processed products that displayed HNC and products excessive in energy, free sugars or those containing non-sugar sweeteners.

Despite the recent advancement, Matteson-type reactions are almost exclusively used to construct linear molecules. Herein we report an iterative boron-homologation approach to construct various carbocycles from a single precursor. This method utilizes an electron-withdrawing group (EWG) as a handle to enable intramolecular Matteson-type couplings, leading to diastereoselective and enantioselective ring formation.

Background: Physician autonomy has been found to play a role in physician acceptance and adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine. However, there is still no consensus in the literature on how to define and assess physician autonomy. Furthermore, there is a lack of research focusing specifically on the potential effects of AI on physician autonomy.

bacteria are renowned for their multicellular lifestyle and production of bioactive molecules (natural products) with important applications in medicine, agriculture and industry. Studies of several species have provided a foundational understanding of their biology and metabolism. However, investigating the spatiotemporal processes governing the morphogenesis and development of these remarkable bacteria has been technically challenging due to their complex life cycle.

Background: One potential consequence of the multiplicity of bibliometric studies on dental implants is the emergence of a multifaceted image of the literature on implantology; hence complicating analysis and comprehension by readers.
Aim: In order to reduce or correct this distortion and to help readers in their interpretation, we review and analyze the bibliometrics of the dental implant (BDI) literature.
Method: Using multiple keywords related to dental implants using databases and general internet browsers, we collected and investigated 49 bibliometric studies through the lens of participating journals, contributing countries, and top-cited papers.
Caregiving Artificial Intelligence Chatbot for Older Adults and Their Preferences, Well-Being, and Social Connectivity: Mixed-Method Study.

Background: The increasing number of older adults who are living alone poses challenges for maintaining their well-being, as they often need support with daily tasks, health care services, and social connections. However, advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have revolutionized health care and caregiving through their capacity to monitor health, provide medication and appointment reminders, and provide companionship to older adults. Nevertheless, the adaptability of these technologies for older adults is stymied by usability issues.
