The goal of this paper is to explain the guidelines used in Louisiana to issue advisories against consumption of chemically contaminated seafood or fish and explain some of the uncertainties encountered. In the absence of federal regulations the State had to develop its own approach. The concentrations resulting from Louisiana policies are generally low in comparison with the FDA tolerances and, thereby, well within reasonable limits justified by the need to protect populations with high fish consumption.

High-resolution isotope dietary analysis of Mesolithic and Neolithic humans from Franchthi Cave, Greece.

Franchthi Cave, in the Greek Peloponnese, is a well-known Paleolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic site, with several human burials. In many parts of Europe there is clear evidence from archaeological and isotopic studies for a diet change between the Mesolithic and Neolithic periods. This is especially the case in coastal contexts where there is often a shift from predominantly marine food diets in the Mesolithic to terrestrial (presumably domesticated) foods in the Neolithic.

Waterfowl serve as indicators of ecosystem health and represent a pathway of contaminant exposure for hunters who consume them. In the northeast Atlantic Flyway, data on baseline contaminant loads in waterfowl are lacking. We assessed five species of commonly harvested (and consumed) waterfowl for mercury, polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).

Background: Meeting protein intake recommendations is relevant for maintaining muscle mass. This study aimed to describe protein intake and its association with meal patterns and dietary patterns.
Methods: An in-house designed, web-based 4-day record was used in the national dietary survey (in 2010/2011).
Occupational Injuries and Fatalities in Norwegian Fish Farming.
J Agromedicine
January 2025
Department of Fishery and New Biomarine Industry, SINTEF Ocean, Trondheim, Norway.
Objective: People working in the Norwegian fish farming industry work in a high energy environment, where there are many hazards in the daily work. An important part of mitigating hazardous situations is to keep track of the characteristics of the accidents that have already happened and to learn from these, when planning future work. The objective of this study was to strengthen the knowledge of factors and conditions influencing personnel safety in Norwegian fish farming, based on analyses of registered occupational fatalities and injuries.

Department of Food and Nutrition, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland.
Background: Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) prevalence is rising worldwide, but optimal dietary strategies remain unclear. The eMOM pilot RCT compared a plant-protein rich Healthy Nordic Diet (HND) and a moderately carbohydrate restricted diet (MCRD) and their potential effects on time in glucose target range (≤ 7.8 mmol/L, %TIR), and on newborn body composition.
