... must be made to make legumes more attractive to the farmer, the industry, and ultimately the consumer, and for this proper local, regional, national, and global policy frameworks must be in place. Here, the local scenario of legumes is showcased, and the most relevant push, pull, and enabling...

... consumers in the interpretation of nutrition information. The use of nutrition-related claims should be regulated to have consistency in what is allowed and avoid claims from being false or misleading. Nutrition labeling should be based on public health priorities and be designed to enable consumers...

... of sorbent material sufficient to achieve safe and effective blood purification therapy. Each component of the device must respond to criteria of safety and function in order to maximize the efficiency of the cartridge. The design should be optimized to enable utilization of all the sorbent surface available...

... Abstract Recent advances in the development of sorbent materials have enabled the development of hemoperfusion (HP). However, HP dose and prescription are not standardized and there is no consensus in clinical practice guidelines. Adequate prescription and modality are of utmost importance...

... are scantly removed by either diffusive or convective clearances. In contrast, recently developed resins have demonstrated safety aligned with notable adsorptive capability, which enables the extraction of endotoxins, inflammatory mediators, and uremic toxins. The understanding of the kinetics...

.... Hemoperfusion is a blood purification technique, which relies on mass separation by a solid agent (hemoadsorption). It can be performed by adding a cartridge filled with adsorptive sorbent in the extracorporeal circuit. These devices have the theoretical advantage to enable the removal of excess pro- and anti...

... Abstract In recent decades, dentistry has developed significantly in all areas. While in the past, caries was mainly treated operatively, the today’s management has shifted toward noninvasive, minimal invasive, and, only if needed, invasive treatment options. Aiming at enabling the most...

... of a finger feeder to administer a fortifier to preterm infants is a new method that enables mothers to exclusively breastfeed their infants and meet their nutritional needs. Mothers reported easy preparation and handling of the fortifier. More than 67% of the infants accepted the device and fortifier...

...-care comes down. Remote patient management (RPM) has the potential to improve outcomes in PD through telehealth platforms that facilitate virtual clinical presence, enable patient-generated clinical documentation and feedback mechanism, and promote self-monitoring. Bi-directional communications between...

... on the longevity of dental restorations has focused almost solely on the technical aspects needed to improve the adhesive properties and longevity of the restorations. Studying the possible individual variations in the quality of dental tissue may enable further developments targeting specific dental tissue...

... to provide an enabling environment for caregivers and communities to ensure that young children receive the nutrition, healthcare, early learning opportunities, responsive caregiving, and safety and security that they need to reach their developmental potential. In traditional academic research...

...-centred comprehensive and preventively biased care for their patients. At the core is a sound foundation of lesion detection, assessment and diagnosis which, when combined with appropriate patient level risk information and monitoring, enables effective treatment planning. The International Caries...

... system approach which considers the multiple causes of malnutrition and identifies the enabling factors that contribute to reaching food and nutrition security. PtIN consists of four pillars: First, the rights-based approach , which puts the most vulnerable population groups as rights holders...

... on immunological processes in psychiatric diseases. Working with behavioural intermediate phenotypes such as impulsivity, aggression or hopelessness, rather than suicidal behaviour, appears to open up new avenues of research enabling us to dissect a complex behaviour into well-defined components which may be more...

... effectively, there is a considerable need to make the best use of these technologies in the redesign of clinical services. The opportunity for telehealth in peritoneal dialysis (PD) is to strengthen an already enabled population of resilient individuals who undertake their treatment in the community while...

... independence, and enabling patients to remain in their community. RPM lends opportunities for patient’s empowerment in self-care and treatment decisions. AMIA cycler with remote monitoring, step-by-step voice guidance, and graphic interface all contribute to patient engagement and empowerment in the Canadian...

... Abstract The bedside head impulse, first described nearly 20 years ago, is the single most useful clinical test of the human vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR). The video head impulse test (vHIT), its laboratory counterpart, now enables the objective assessment of the VOR. We examine how the vHIT...
