Assessment of genetically modified cotton GHB614 × T304‐40 × GHB119 for food and feed uses, import and processing under Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 …
2018
International audience; The three-event stack cotton GHB614 x T304-40 x GHB119 was produced by conventional crossing to combine three single events, GHB614, T304-40 and GHB119. The genetically modified organisms (GMO) Panel previously assessed the three single cotton events and did not identify safety concerns. No new data on the single cotton events that could lead to modification of the original conclusions on their safety were identified. Based on the molecular, agronomic, phenotypic and compositional characteristics, the combination of the single cotton events and of the newly expressed proteins in the three-event stack cotton did not give rise to food and feed safety concern. The GMO P…
Part C notification (reference C/NL/13/01) from Suntory Holdings Limited for the import, distribution and retailing of carnation SHD-27531-4 cut flow…
2015
Requestor: European CommissionQuestion number: EFSA-Q-2015-00126; The Scientific Panel on Genetically Modified Organisms of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA GMO Panel) has evaluated the overall safety of genetically modified (GM) carnation SHD-27531-4 cut flowers to be imported into the European Union (EU) for ornamental use. The genetic modification results in the flowers having purple petals. The stability of the new colour trait was observed over multiple vegetative generations. The purple colour of the petals comes from the altered expression levels of anthocyanins, common pigments found in edible fruits and vegetables. Considering the intended use of the GM carnation and the po…
Efficacy and tolerability of a fixed dose combination of cortex phospholipid liposomes and cyanocobalamin for intramuscular use in peripheral neuropa…
2019
Peripheral neuropathies are frequently encourtered in clinical practice and are assiociated with a major impairment in quality of life . Howewvwr, their management reamans poor, and current therapies are often burdened with major side effects and can present poor efficacy on pain and functionality. Therefore, it has been suggested that the combination of two or more different drugs may improve analgesis efficacy and reduce side effects. Tricortin 1000 is formulated with 12 mg of Brain cortex phospholipid liposomes + 1000 microgrammi of Cyanocobalamin injectable (PL+ CNCb1) for intramuscolar use and is indicated in the tratment of poly-algo-neuropathic syndromes. This combination exerts a ma…

Iron intake among Lebanese women: sociodemographic factors, iron-rich dietary patterns, and preparation of hummus, a Mediterranean dish
2021
Background: Plant-based foods such as hummus are alternative to animal protein, and when properly pre-pared, they help to alleviate nutritional iron deficiency that leads to anemia, a global health problem. Objective: The objective was to assess iron intake among Lebanese women and related participant’s charac-teristics, discern iron-rich dietary patterns, evaluate their association with nutrients intake and participant’s sociodemographic characteristics, and identify the women preparing hummus traditionally and properly for an enhanced iron bioavailability. Design: A cross-sectional study of 400 Lebanese women (18–74 years old) was conducted in Lebanon. Data from a questionnaire, including…
Vitamin A Deficiency and Alterations in the Extracellular Matrix
2014
Vitamin A or retinol which is the natural precursor of several biologically active metabolites can be considered the most multifunctional vitamin in mammals. Its deficiency is currently, along with protein malnutrition, the most serious and common nutritional disorder worldwide. It is necessary for normal embryonic development and postnatal tissue homeostasis, and exerts important effects on cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. These actions are produced mainly by regulating the expression of a variety of proteins through transcriptional and non-transcriptional mechanisms. Extracellular matrix proteins are among those whose synthesis is known to be modulated by vitamin A. Reti…
The Role of Vitamin Deficiency in Liver Disease: To Supplement or Not Supplement?
2021
Over the past few years, growing interest has been shown for the impact of dietary requirements and nutritional factors on chronic diseases. As a result, nutritional programs have been reinforced by public health policies. The precise role of micronutrients in chronic liver disease is currently receiving particular attention since abnormalities in vitamin levels are often detected. At present, treatment programs are focused on correcting vitamin deficiencies, which are frequently correlated to higher rates of comorbidities with poor outcomes. The literature reviewed here indicates that liver diseases are often related to vitamin disorders, due to both liver impairment and abnormal intake. M…
Konfliktråd i fengsel : rapport fra et prosjekt 2003/2004
2005
Rapport fra prosjektet "Konfliktregimer" ”Hvorfor var det ingen som fortalte meg om Konfliktrådet da jeg var 15 år?” Den unge mannen var ganske oppgitt. Han var dømt for flere forhold og satt nå inne for tredje gang. Ut fra Konfliktrådet i Agder har vi over et år truffet flere innsatte i fengselet og pratet med dem om deres egne konflikter og deres behov for å benytte seg av megling. Etter avsluttet prosjekt, kan vi oppsummere med flere meglede saker, mange gode samtaler og gode erfaringer i samarbeidet med fengselet1. Arbeidet kan ses som en videreføring av erfaringer fra prosjektet ”Megling i voldssaker” som ble igangsatt av Justisdepartementet i årene 2001-2004. Den nye straffegjennomfør…
Prosjektet "Megling i voldssaker" ved Konfliktrådet for Hordaland : evalueringsrapport
2004
På omslaget: Fakultet for helse- og idrettsfag Forsøksprosjektet ”Megling i voldssaker” ble knyttet til konfliktrådet for Hordaland og gikk over tre år (april 2000-mars 2004). Det ble tilsatt prosjektleder, og tolv erfarne meglere fra konfliktrådet fikk tilleggsopplæring i megling i voldssaker. I alt 186 personer i 79 voldssaker ble invitert til deltakelse, men ved prosjektets slutt hadde bare åtte meglinger funnet sted, det vil si i ti prosent av sakene. En innlysende grunn til at det ble så få meglinger var at de voldsofre og -utøvere man tilbød å møtes til megling ikke ønsket å møte. Noen var fornøyde med oppgjøret i rettssalen og hadde ikke noe ønske om å gjenoppta saken og å treffe den…
Losing weight after menopause with minimal aerobic training and mediterranean diet
2020
Objective: It is a common belief that menopausal women have greater difficulty losing weight. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of a Mediterranean diet (MD) to promote weight loss in postmenopausal women. All participants were prescribed a hypocaloric traditional MD, tailored to the individual. Subjects were asked not to begin any kind of physical activity. Body composition was measured at the beginning and after 8 weeks of treatment. In total, 89 women (age 52.8 ±
