Perception of quality and complexity in wine and their links to varietal typicality: An investigation involving Pinot noir wine and professional tast…
2020
International audience; Quality and complexity are abstract terms employed frequently to describe a wine's overall attributes. In the present study, we investigated: (i) attributes driving wine professionals' judgments of quality and complexity in Pinot noir wines; (ii) the relation between these two abstract concepts; and (iii) association of each concept with varietal typicality. Twenty-two wine professionals evaluated 18 New Zealand Pinot noir wines in both clear and opaque glassware via two sensory tasks, a descriptive rating task and an 8-attribute, perceived complexity questionnaire. Sensory data were associated with wine UV-spectrophotometry colour measures to aid interpretation of t…
Safety of Dietary Guanidinoacetic Acid: A Villain of a Good Guy?
2021
Guanidinoacetic acid (GAA) is a natural amino acid derivative that is well-recognized for its central role in the biosynthesis of creatine, an essential compound involved in cellular energy metabolism. GAA (also known as glycocyamine or betacyamine) has been investigated as an energy-boosting dietary supplement in humans for more than 70 years. GAA is suggested to effectively increase low levels of tissue creatine and improve clinical features of cardiometabolic and neurological diseases, with GAA often outcompeting traditional bioenergetics agents in maintaining ATP status during stress. This perhaps happens due to a favorable delivery of GAA through specific membrane transporters (such as…
Fecal Calprotectin in Self-Reported Milk Intolerance: Not Only Lactose Intolerance
2023
The hypothesis is that inflammatory/allergic conditions should be considered in self-reported milk intolerance (SRMI) patients who test negative and/or are asymptomatic at Lactose Hydrogen Breath Test (LHBT). We analyzed fecal calprotectin (FCP) values in SRMI patients to investigate the frequency of a “positive” intestinal inflammation marker and its correlation with lactose tolerance/intolerance. Data from 329 SRMI patients were retrospectively analyzed; according to the positive/negative results (maldigester/digester) and the presence/absence of symptoms reported during LHBT (intolerant/tolerant), patients were divided into: ‘lactose tolerants’ (n. 104), ‘ma…
Is it possible to make a diagnosis of raw, heated and baked egg allergy in children using cut-offs? A systematic review
2015
The diagnosis of IgE-mediated egg allergy lies both on a compatible clinical history and on the results of skin prick tests (SPTs) and IgEs levels. Both tests have good sensitivity but low specificity. For this reason, oral food challenge (OFC) is the ultimate gold standard for the diagnosis. The aim of this study was to systematically review the literature in order to identify, analyze, and synthesize the predictive value of SPT and specific IgEs both to egg white and to main egg allergens and to review the cutoffs suggested in the literature. A total of 37 articles were included in this systematic review. Studies were grouped according to the degree of cooking of the egg used for OFC, age…

Diētas faktoru ietekme uz I tipa cukura diabēta gaitu
2020
1. tipa cukura diabēts ir hroniska, progresējoša autoimūna slimība, kuras beigu posms ir absolūts insulīna deficīts. Ilgstoša nepietiekama hiperglikēmijas kontrole noved pie mikrovaskulārām vai makrovaskulārām komplikācijām. Medicīniskā uztura terapija kopā ar fiziskām aktivitātēm un insulīna terapiju ir 1. tipa cukura diabēta ārstēšanas pamats. Pētījuma mērķis: izpētīt saistību starp diētas skalas izmaiņām un 1. tipa cukura diabēta komplikāciju (kardiovaskulārās patoloģijas, retinopātija, nefropātija) progresiju. Materiāli un metodes: pacientu rekrutēšana „LatDiane” longitudinālam pētījumam notika laika posmā no 2013. gada oktobra līdz 2017. gada jūlijam un kopā pētījumā piedalījās 130 dal…
Parasitación intestinal por unicelulares eucariotas en una población con obesidad mórbida: implicaciones clínico-metabólicas
2022
La obesidad es una enfermedad grave y multidimensional que, en la actualidad, ha alcanzado dimensiones pandémicas. Muchos son los mecanismos fisiopatológicos propuestos para intentar explicar el marcado aumento de su incidencia, y que se han orientado a hallar nuevas dianas terapéuticas con las que combatirla. Clásicamente se han señalado los factores ambientales propios del estilo de vida occidental (como la alimentación hipercalórica y el sedentarismo) como relevantes en el desarrollo de esta enfermedad; sin embargo, nuevas evidencias apuntan hacia que también podrían jugar un papel importante elementos infecciosos del medio, con repercusiones tanto perjudiciales como protectoras sobre el…
Rola diety i metod leczenia żywieniowego w ograniczeniu dolegliwości zespołu jelita drażliwego
2021
The symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome are estimated in 10–20% of the population, and the disease is currently one of the most common diseases of the digestive system. Thus, it is a significant diagnostic problem for doctors and nutritionists in terms of the selection the appropriate diet therapy and for pharmacists in terms of potential pharmaceutical care and consultation on basic nutritional errors. Research shows that the prevalence of IBS contributes to a significant deterioration in the quality of life, and the type of food consumed has a significant impact on the well-being and health of the patient. The prevalence of symptoms is strongly related to the food consumed. About 60% of …
Omega-3 Long-Chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Intake in Children with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder
2019
Omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) play a central role in neuronal growth and in the development of the human brain, and a deficiency of these substances has been reported in children with attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD). In this regard, supplementation with omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids is used as adjuvant therapy in ADHD. Seafood, particularly fish, and some types of nuts are the main dietary sources of such fatty acids in the Spanish diet. In order to assess the effect of the intake of common foods containing high amounts of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, a food frequency questionnaire was administered to parents of children with ADHD (N = …
