The genus comprises woody vine plants belonging to the family . Species are found mostly in Northern Thailand and widely consumed by the local population. Occurrences of these wild fruits are rare as they only grow naturally in forest areas. Nutritive values of spp. remain unclear, leading to improper management for food applications. Nutritional composition of spp. was evaluated to promote sustainable conservation. Nutritive values in different fruits parts (exocarp, mesocarp, seed and core) of two species as (Lem.) A.C. Sm. and (Roxb.) Craib, from Chiang Rai Province, Thailand were assessed. When comparing nutritional contents based on per 100 g dry weight, results suggested that exhibited higher carbohydrate (1-2 times), sugar (1-2 times) and vitamin C (3-4 times) contents than , while the latter possessed higher fat (1-2 times), protein (1.6-1.9 times), and dietary fiber (1.5-1.8 times) contents. Considering each fruit part, the mesocarp (the only edible fruit part) and exocarp of both species provided high dietary fiber (11.6-20.9% recommended dietary fiber) and vitamin C (as high as 73% recommended per day) but were low in energy (30-40 kcal/100 g fresh weight), protein (0.6-1.2% recommended per day), fat (0.5-1.8% recommended per day) and sugar (2.4-5.4% recommended per day). Interestingly, seed contained higher energy (1-2 times), protein (2-3 times) and fat (4-50 times) than the other fruit parts. Results support the potential consumption of spp. as a healthy fruit that can be used for future food applications. Seed and exocarp from spp. also showed potential for new product development.

Gregory L Hundemer Christine A White Patrick A Norman Greg A Knoll Navdeep Tangri Manish M Sood Swapnil Hiremath Kevin D Burns Christopher McCudden Ayub Akbari

Am J Kidney Dis 2022 May 12. Epub 2022 May 12.

Department of Medicine (Division of Nephrology) and the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute, University of Ottawa; Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

Rationale & Objective: Race-free eGFR equations incorporating creatinine with and without cystatin C were recently developed and recommended for routine use. However, the performance of these equations among kidney transplant recipients remains unknown.

Study Design: Cross-sectional study to validate the new race-free CKD-EPI equations (2021 CKD-EPI, 2021 CKD-EPI) among kidney transplant recipients. Read More

Cleavage-stage versus blastocyst-stage embryo transfer in assisted reproductive technology.

Authors:
Demián Glujovsky Andrea Marta Quinteiro Retamar Cristian Roberto Alvarez Sedo Agustín Ciapponi Simone Cornelisse Deborah Blake

Cochrane Database Syst Rev 2022 May 19;5:CD002118. Epub 2022 May 19.

Repromed Fertility Specialists, Auckland, New Zealand.

Background: Advances in embryo culture media have led to a shift in in vitro fertilisation (IVF) practice from cleavage-stage embryo transfer to blastocyst-stage embryo transfer. The rationale for blastocyst-stage transfer is to improve both uterine and embryonic synchronicity and enable self selection of viable embryos, thus resulting in better live birth rates.

Objectives: To determine whether blastocyst-stage (day 5 to 6) embryo transfer improves the live birth rate (LBR) per fresh transfer, and other associated outcomes, compared with cleavage-stage (day 2 to 3) embryo transfer. Read More

Demographic and psychosocial correlates of measurement error and reactivity bias in a four-day image-based mobile food record among adults with overweight and obesity.

Improving dietary reporting among people living with obesity is challenging as many factors influence reporting accuracy. Reactive reporting may occur in response to dietary recording but little is known about how image-based methods influence this process. Using a 4-day image-based mobile food record (mFRTM), this study aimed to identify demographic and psychosocial correlates of measurement error and reactivity bias, among adults with BMI 25-40kg/m2.

National Institute for Nutrition and Health, Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Beijing, China.

What Is Already Known About This Topic?: Chinese dietary guidelines recommend an intake of milk and dairy products to be closely related to human health. Although the production capacity of dairy in China is strong, the per capita consumption of dairy products is not high.

What Is Added By This Report?: This report showed that the consumption rate of milk and dairy products of junior high and senior high school students in China was 82. Read More
