Abstract Diet-based annual biomass indices can potentially use predator stomach contents to provide information about prey and may be particularly useful for species that are otherwise poorly sampled, including ecologically important forage fishes. However, diet-based sensitive underlying ecological dynamics between predators prey, such as functional responses changes in overlap space time. To ...

A high diet quality index based on Swedish nutrition recommendations has previously been associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality in the Malmö Diet and Cancer (MDC) cohort. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether this diet quality index was associated with the risk for type 2 diabetes. Of 26,868 participants (44-74 years) in the MDC cohort study, 3838...

Inflammation is associated with a number of chronic conditions, such as cancer and cardiovascular disease. Reducing inflammation may help prevent or treat these conditions. Diet has consistently been shown to modulate inflammation. To facilitate research into the inflammatory effect of diet on health in humans, we sought to develop and validate an Inflammatory Index designed to assess the infla...

The fish community of Lake Constance, a large, deep, oligotrophic lake has undergone drastic changes in recent years, with the sudden rise to dominance invasive three-spined stickleback ( Gasterosteus aculeatus ) pelagic zone, rather atypical habitat for this species Central Europe. core objective study was compare feeding ecology and young Eurasian perch Perca fluviatilis unique situation iden...

BACKGROUND The objective was to develop an index based on the Dutch Guidelines for a healthy Diet of 2006 that reflects dietary quality and to apply it to the Dutch National Food Consumption Survey (DNFCS) to examine the associations with micronutrient intakes. METHODS A total of 749 men and women, aged 19-30 years, contributed two 24-hour recalls and additional questionnaires in the DNFCS of...

BACKGROUND Insufficient dietary intake of chromium as an essential nutrient leads to signs and symptoms that are similar to those observed for diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. We postulate that in healthy individuals, urinary chromium excretion following a high glycemic index diet is higher than after a low glycemic index diet. METHODS A sequential randomized controlled cross-over study ...

BACKGROUND Glycemic index and/or glycemic load have been explored as an alternative for the prevention and/or management of obesity, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and cancer. OBJECTIVE The purpose of the manuscript is to describe the design and methods used in the GLYNDIET Project, a study designed to simultaneously address the questions related to the exactly role of low ...

background: we conducted our study on 1110 patients with breast masses in order to investigate different aspects of power doppler sonography (pds) for differentiating between benign and malignant breast lesions and their prognostication. materials and methods: this study was conducted on the women who were referred to the sonography units of university hospitals for breast sonography and had a ...
