Statistical models for meal-level estimation of mass and energy intake using features derived from video observation and a chewing sensor
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-01-10)Accurate and objective assessment of energy intake remains an ongoing problem. We used features derived from annotated video observation and a chewing sensor to predict mass and energy intake during a meal without participant ... -
Opposite development of short- and long-range anterior cingulate pathways in autism
(SPRINGER, 2018-11-01)Autism has been linked with the changes in brain connectivity that disrupt neural communication, especially involving frontal networks. Pathological changes in white matter are evident in adults with autism, particularly ... -
Parallel development of chromatin patterns, neuron morphology, and connections: potential for disruption in autism
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2018-08-17)The phenotype of neurons and their connections depend on complex genetic and epigenetic processes that regulate the expression of genes in the nucleus during development and throughout life. Here we examined the distribution ... -
The power of practice: adjusting curriculum to include emphasis on skills
(National Science Teachers Association, 2019-05-01)Critical thinking skills are sought after in the workforce and are often included in departmental or course learning objectives. However, many courses focus on content rather than the cognitive skills needed to improve ... -
Tumour-derived leukaemia inhibitory factor is a major driver of cancer cachexia and morbidity in C26 tumour-bearing mice
(WILEY, 2018-12-01)BACKGROUND: Cancer cachexia is a metabolic wasting syndrome that is strongly associated with a poor prognosis. The initiating factors causing fat and muscle loss are largely unknown. Previously, we found that leukaemia ... -
Biomarkers of systemic inflammation and growth in early infancy are associated with stunting in young Tanzanian children
(MDPI, 2018-09-01)Stunting can afflict up to one-third of children in resource-constrained countries. We hypothesized that low-grade systemic inflammation (defined as elevations in serum C-reactive protein or alpha-1-acid glycoprotein) in ... -
Protein intake, nutritional status and outcomes in ICU survivors: a single center cohort study
(MDPI, 2019-01-01)BACKGROUND: We hypothesized that protein delivery during hospitalization in patients who survived critical care would be associated with outcomes following hospital discharge. METHODS: We studied 801 patients, age ≥ 18 ... -
Impaired thermoregulatory function during dynamic exercise in multiple sclerosis
INTRODUCTION: Impairments in sudomotor function during passive whole-body heating have been reported in multiple sclerosis (MS), a demyelinating disease of the CNS that disrupts autonomic function. However, the capability ...
