Abstract:
... Pre-harvest testing is increasingly used to enhance the microbial safety of fresh produce. Traditional sampling assumes that sample collectors have no information on potential contamination sources. Knowledge of such factors could potentially increase the effectiveness of pre-harvest sampling programs. Simulation modeling and field validation trials were used to evaluate a hybrid “Samples of Oppor ...

Abstract:
... Attentional bias to food cues may be a risk factor for childhood obesity, yet there are few paradigms to measure such biases in young children. Therefore, the present work introduces an eye-tracking visual search task to measure attentional bias in young children. Methods: Fifty-one 3-6-year-olds played a game to find a target cartoon character among food (experimental condition) or toy (control c ...

Abstract:
... Atherosclerosis and cancer share several risk factors suggesting that at least in part their pathogenesis is sustained by common mechanisms. To investigate this relation we followed a group of subjects with carotid atherosclerosis at baseline up for malignancy development.we carried out an observational study exploring cancer incidence (study endpoint) in subjects with known carotid atherosclerosi ...
