Efficacy of novel small-quantity lipid-based nutrient supplements in improving long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid status of South African infants: a randomised controlled trial
(Springer, 2020)
Background/objectives
The objective of this study was to investigate the efficacy of small-quantity lipid-based nutrient supplements (SQ-LNS) containing essential fatty acids (EFAs) with or without long-chain polyunsaturated ...
Preparing recreation professionals: graduate attributes expected of entry-level recreation professionals in a South African context
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)
The unemployment rate of graduate students in South Africa (SA) has increased more than 4% in the past 10 years. This increase can be ascribed to the current economic situation as well as the unemployability of these ...
The monoamine oxidase inhibition properties of C6- and N1-substituted 3-methyl-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-2(1H)-one derivatives
(Springer, 2020)
Quinazolinone compounds are of interest in medicinal chemistry since they display a wide range of biological properties. In the present study, a series of C6- and N1-substituted 3-methyl-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-2(1H)-one ...
Prediction of 24-hour sodium excretion from spot urine samples in South African adults: a comparison of four equations
(Nature, 2020)
Repeated 24-hour urine collection is considered to be the gold standard for assessing salt intake. This is often impractical in large-population studies, especially in low–middle-income countries. Equations to estimate ...
Determining sample size adequacy for animal model studies in nutrition research: limits and ethical challenges of ordinary power calculation procedures
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)
Animal models are widely used in the field of nutrition research. Scientifically and ethically sound experiments need an adequate number of experimental units. The use of 5-10 units is common, but such sample sizes can be ...
Molecular imaging of a zirconium-89 labeled antibody targeting Plasmodium falciparum–infected human erythrocytes
(Springer, 2020)
Purpose
Nuclear imaging is an important preclinical research tool to study infectious diseases in vivo and could be extended to investigate complex aspects of malaria infections. As such, we report for the first time ...
Association of nut intake with risk factors, cardiovascular disease, and mortality in 16 countries from 5 continents: analysis from the Prospective Urban and Rural Epidemiology (PURE) study
(Oxford Univ Press, 2020)
Background
The association of nuts with cardiovascular disease and deaths has been investigated mostly in Europe, the USA, and East Asia, with few data available from other regions of the world or from low- and middle-income ...
Treatment outcomes and determinants of mortality in children aged 0-59 months diagnosed with complicated severe acute malnutrition in two referral hospitals in Ghana
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)
Background: Complicated severe acute malnutrition (SAM) poses an enormous threat to the survival of children. However, the relationship between admission characteristics and recovery, weight gain and the risk of mortality ...
Prevalence and lifestyle-associated risk factors of metabolic syndrome among commercial motor vehicle drivers in a metropolitan city in Ghana
(PAMJ, 2020)
Introduction: commercial motor vehicle drivers are
at risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS) due to the
nature of their work as they tend to go to work
early, work for more hours, have irregular dietary
habits and patterns, ...
Synthesis and evaluation of C3 substituted chalcone-based derivatives of 7-azaindole as protein kinase inhibitors
(Wiley, 2020)
Chalcones are a group of naturally occurring or synthetic compounds which possess a wide range of biological activities. In this paper, a series of twenty‐three 7‐azaindole‐chalcone hybrids (5a–w) were synthesized and ...
