Perceptions of self-monitoring dietary intake according to a plate-based approach: A qualitative study

Author(s): Kheirmandparizi M; Gouin JP; Bouchaud CC; Kebbe M; Bergeron C; Madani Civi R; Rhodes RE; Farnesi BC; Bouguila N; Conklin AI; Lear SA; Cohen TR;

Dietary self-monitoring is a behaviour change technique used to help elicit and sustain dietary changes over time. Current dietary self-monitoring tools focus primarily on itemizing foods and counting calories, which can be complex, time-intensive, and dependent on health literacy. Further, there ...

Brain PET Imaging in Small Animals: Tracer Formulation, Data Acquisition, Image Reconstruction, and Data Analysis

Author(s): Bdair H; Kang MS; Ottoy J; Aliaga A; Kunach P; Singleton TA; Blinder S; Soucy JP; Leyton M; Rosa-Neto P; Kostikov A;

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a noninvasive functional imaging modality that involves in vivo detection of spatiotemporal changes in the binding of radioactive pharmaceuticals (a.k.a. PET tracers) to their target sites in different organs. The development of new PET tracers commonly invol ...

New Megastigmane and Polyphenolic Components of Henna Leaves and Their Tumor-Specific Cytotoxicity on Human Oral Squamous Carcinoma Cell Lines

Author(s): Orabi MAA; Orabi EA; Awadh AAA; Alshahrani MM; Abdel-Wahab BA; Sakagami H; Hatano T;

Polyphenols have a variety of phenolic hydroxyl and carbonyl functionalities that enable them to scavenge many oxidants, thereby preserving the human redox balance and preventing a number of oxidative stress-related chronic degenerative diseases. In our ongoing investigation of polyphenol-rich plants in search of novel molecules, we resumed the investigat ...

Functional screening pipeline to uncover laccase-like multicopper oxidase enzymes that transform industrial lignins

Author(s): Sharan AA; Bellemare A; DiFalco M; Tsang A; Vuong TV; Edwards EA; Master ER;

Laccase-like multicopper oxidases are recognized for their potential to alter the reactivity of lignins for application in value-added products. Typically, model compounds are employed to discover such enzymes; however, they do not represent the complexity of industrial lignin substrates. In this work, a screening pipeline was developed to test enzymes si ...

Variation in a Darwin Wasp (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) Community along an Elevation Gradient in a Tropical Biodiversity Hotspot: Implications for Ecology and Conservation

Author(s): Flinte V; Pádua DG; Durand EM; Hodgin C; Khattar G; da Silveira LFL; Fernandes DRR; Sääksjärvi IE; Monteiro RF; Macedo MV; Mayhew PJ;

Understanding how biodiversity varies from place to place is a fundamental goal of ecology and an important tool for halting biodiversity loss. Parasitic wasps (Hymenoptera) are a diverse and functionally important animal group, but spatial variation in their diversity is poorly understood. We su ...

PILLAR: ParaspInaL muscLe segmentAtion pRoject - a comprehensive online resource to guide manual segmentation of paraspinal muscles from magnetic resonance imaging

Author(s): Anstruther M; Rossini B; Zhang T; Liang T; Xiao Y; Fortin M;

Background: There is an increasing interest in assessing paraspinal morphology and composition in relation to low back pain (LBP). However, variations in methods and segmentation protocols contribute to the inconsistent findings in the literature. We present an on-line resource, the ParaspInaL muscLe segmentAtion pRoject (PILLAR, https://projectpillar.git ...
