"We go hunting …": Understanding experiences of people living with obesity and food insecurity when shopping for food in the supermarket to meet their weight related goals.

The high prevalence of food insecurity in the United Kingdom has been exacerbated by the cost-of-living crisis. In high-income countries, those experiencing food insecurity struggle to buy and consume foods that meet Government healthy eating recommendations, and are at increased risk of obesity, linked to poor diet quality. Individuals in high-income countries purchase most of their food to consume at home from supermarkets, making this an important context within which healthier and environmentally sustainable food purchasing should be supported.

Barriers to Performing Essential Surgery at First-Level Hospitals in Pakistan: A Mixed Methods Study.

Introduction: There are numerous reasons for underutilization of the public health sector for surgery in Pakistan. This results in patients being diverted to private hospitals or tertiary care centers in urban areas. Diversions overburden the hospitals and significantly increase out-of-pocket costs for the patients.

Key aroma compounds associated with umami perception of MSG in fried Takifugu obscurus liver.

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a basic representative of umami taste, but it exerts adverse effects as reported in several studies. Enhancing umami perception through aroma-taste interactions is a potentially useful approach as a flavor enhancer to reduce future MSG intake. We identified the aroma compounds in fried Takifugu obscurus liver, then studied the effect of aroma compounds on perceived umami taste using the sensomics approach.

Differential effects of thiamine and ascorbic acid in clusters of septic patients identified by latent variable analysis.

Background: Thiamine and ascorbic acid have been proposed to mitigate the devastating consequences of sepsis and septic shock. To date, randomized controlled trials have failed to demonstrate a benefit of these therapies and heterogeneity of treatment effect is suspected. In this study, we aimed at assessing the heterogeneity of treatment effect of thiamine (B1) and the combination of B1 plus ascorbic acid (AA + B1) in critically ill patients with sepsis.

Assessing the gap: Resource efficiency of institutionalised elderly care in urban and rural China.

Objectives: The allocation of resources in elderly care institutions is directly linked to the well-being, quality of life and sustainable development of public health for the elderly. However, a disparity in elderly care resources between urban and rural areas exists. Therefore, this study aimed to explore resource allocation efficiency in China's urban and rural institutional elderly care.

Leveraging local health system resources to address quality healthcare gaps in sub-Saharan African: lessons from the SafeCare quality improvement programme in Ghana.

Introduction: In low- and-middle-income-countries (LMICs) like Ghana, universal access to quality healthcare remains a mirage and this undermines achievement of sustainable development goal (SDG) 3. The SafeCare Quality Improvement (QI) programme is an initiative of PharmAccess Foundation, a Netherlands-based non-governmental organisation (NGO). In 2009 SafeCare QI programme was launched in Ghana to help address gaps in healthcare quality standards, leveraging existing local resources.

Results of a qualitative semi-structured interview study with hospital nursing staff to improve incident reporting systems in Estonia.

Objective: Nurses and their leaders are known for actively using incident reporting systems. However, information sharing about lessons learned from incidents has rarely been reported in previous studies. This study aimed to describe nurses' and nursing managers' experiences with incident reporting system information sharing and their perceptions of patient safety development needs.

Implementation strategies for providing optimised tuberculosis and diabetes integrated care in LMICs (POTENTIAL): protocol for a multiphase sequential and concurrent mixed-methods study.

Introduction: Almost a quarter of patients with tuberculosis (TB) in Pakistan may also have diabetes, with an additional quarter in a pre-diabetic state. Diabetes is a risk factor for TB. When it co-occurs with TB, it leads to poorer outcomes for both conditions, considerably increasing the burden on individuals, families and the healthcare system.

Barriers and facilitators for strengthening primary health systems for person-centred multimorbid care in low-income and middle-income countries: a scoping review.

Objective: To understand barriers and facilitators for strengthening health systems for person-centred care of people with multiple long-term conditions-multimorbidity (MLTC-M) at the primary healthcare (PHC) level in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs).

Design: A scoping review.

Methods: We adopted a systematic scoping review approach to chart literature guided by Arksey and O'Malley's methodological framework.

Automatic detection of multi-antibiotic residues simultaneously in aquatic products by visual protein microarray chips.

A 96-well microplate-based protein microarray chip which can simultaneously detect three different families of antibiotics using a multiplexed approach has been developed for the first time. All steps in the microarray chip can be completed through an automated biochip analyzer, enabling high throughput analysis of 96 samples within 60 min according to the set program. The microarray chip can be visually evaluated by the color depth of array points, and can also be quantified through a scanner.

The Development of a Food Frequency Questionnaire for the Assessment of Ultra-Processed Food Consumption in the Italian Adult Population: Protocol for a Validity and Reproducibility Study.

Background: Over the last decade, while studies on the detrimental effects of ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption have increased, methodological limitations on the quality of available evidence have emerged. Starting from a critical reassessment of the NOVA classification, this project will aim to develop and validate a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), which is based on the processing of consumed foods and specifically designed to estimate the UPF consumption and total dietary intake of macro- and micronutrients in the Italian adult population.

Methods: This study will take place in selected workplaces and include healthy males and females aged ≥18 years, residing in Italy and with Italian citizenship.
