A Case of Thyroid Gland Abscess Caused by Brucella melitensis
Mikrobiyol Bul. 2024 Apr;58(2):217-223. doi: 10.5578/mb.20249810.ABSTRACTBrucellosis is a zoonotic disease endemic in many developing countries, including Türkiye. Among the species that are pathogenic for humans; Brucella melitensis is isolated from livestock animals like sheep and goats, Brucella abortus from cattle and Brucella suis from pigs. Laboratory diagnosis of infection caused by Brucella species with gram-negative coccobacillus morphology; can be made through characteristic culture features, serological tests and molecular methods. Brucellosis, which has a wide distribution of clinical signs and symptoms; can c...

Evolution of household availability of added sugars and their sources in Brazil: analysis of Household Budget Surveys from 2002 to 2017
In conclusion, Brazilians' total intake of added sugar was decreased, mostly owing to reduced consumption of sugar from soft drinks.PMID:38634261 | DOI:10.1017/S0007114524000813 (Source: The British Journal of Nutrition)

Conditioned overconsumption is dependent on reinforcer type in lean, but not obese, mice
Appetite. 2024 Apr 13:107355. doi: 10.1016/j.appet.2024.107355. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAssociative learning can drive many different types of behaviors, including food consumption. Previous studies have shown that cues paired with food delivery while mice are hungry will lead increased consumption in the presence of those cues at later times. We previously showed that overconsumption can be driven in male mice by contextual cues, using chow pellets. Here we extended our findings by examining other parameters that may influence the outcome of context-conditioned overconsumption training. We found that the task worked...

#junkfluenced: the marketing of unhealthy food and beverages by social media influencers popular with Canadian children on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok
CONCLUSIONS: Social media influencers play a substantial role in promoting unhealthy food products to children, primarily fast food items. Given the significant impact of such marketing on children, there is a need for ongoing government-led monitoring, and it is crucial to include social media and influencer marketing in marketing restrictions targeting children in Canada to safeguard this vulnerable demographic.PMID:38605322 | DOI:10.1186/s12966-024-01589-4 (Source: Health Physics)

Does emotional eating status affect food addiction of paramedics? A cross-sectional study
İrem Nur Akdeniz, Hasan Kaan Kavsara, Pınar Usta, Irem Kaya Cebioglu Nutrition & Food Science, Vol. ahead-of-print, No. ahead-of-print, pp.- Paramedics are responsible for managing emergencies, caring for patients and performing life-saving procedures under heavy workloads, which can have a significant negative effect on their emotional eating and food addiction (FA) behaviors. Thus, this cross-sectional study aims to shed light on the relationship between emotional eating tendencies and FA in paramedics by considering their food preferences, sex, and body mass index (BMI) factors.The questionnaire consisted of Yale...

The Mediterranean diet: a historical perspective
Aging Clin Exp Res. 2024 Mar 23;36(1):78. doi: 10.1007/s40520-023-02686-3.ABSTRACTThe Mediterranean diet, which was born in the Mediterranean basin, was initially quite poor and simple, essentially based on the products that grew almost spontaneously along the shores of the Mediterranean, i.e., olives, grapes, and wheat, which were long cultivated in the Mediterranean region. The invasions of the Roman Empire by barbarian populations, between 400 and 800 AD, made the diet enriched with products from wild uncultivated areas, meat from game and pigs, and vegetables. With the arrival of the Arabs in southern Italy in the nint...

The effects of a retrieval cue on renewal of conditioned responses in human appetitive conditioning
Behav Res Ther. 2024 Mar 3;176:104501. doi: 10.1016/j.brat.2024.104501. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTContextual renewal of reward anticipation may be one potential mechanism underlying relapse in eating and substance use disorders. We therefore tested retrieval cues, a method derived from an inhibitory retrieval-based model of extinction learning to attenuate contextual renewal using an appetitive conditioning paradigm. A pilot study was carried out in Experiment 1 to validate a differential chocolate conditioning paradigm, in which a specific tray was set up as a conditioned stimulus (CS) for eating chocolate (unconditio...
