Rationale: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality, but the benefit of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) uncertain. However, most randomized controlled trials have focused on role CPAP in secondary prevention, although there growing evidence a potential early CV disease. Weight loss combination with may be superior difficult to achieve maintain conventional measures alone. Objectives: The aim this study was gain...
Summary The high prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea has led to increasing interest in ambulatory diagnosis. SleepMinder™ ( SM ) is a novel non‐contact device that employs radiofrequency wave technology assess the breathing pattern, and thereby estimate severity. We assessed performance home diagnosis apnea. One‐hundred twenty‐two subjects were prospectively recruited two protocols, one from an unselected clinic cohort n = 67, mean age 51 years) second hypertension 55, 58 years). All...
Many events occur each year in rural and urban communities. Some of these include sporting festivals (music, food/beverage, heritage, art). for 1 day, but many multiple days are considered “special events.” Determining the positive impact special on local communities is critical to success event helps gain stakeholder approval acceptance recurring annual events. The current study surveyed attendees (locals tourists) at a 5-day (festival) Miami Beach, Florida. Locals tourists were identified...
With the meteoric rise of celebrity chef and lure coveted Michelin star, it takes an individual with elite skill set coupled verve, vigor, dedication to craft reach highest echelons kitchen. This phenomenological case study highlights journey a chef, ‘Michel’, who has demonstrated requisite recipe achieve ratings. Through in-depth interview process, candid vivid imagery kitchenscape what persevere in this heated environment is depicted. Michel reveals that breaking traditional kitchen...
A mixed-methodology study was conducted to better understand consumer attitudes and behaviors toward novel food pairings the impact of culinary education. Focus groups were investigate underlying motivational factors reactions unfamiliar foods. The second phase consisted sensory evaluation by two separate cohorts, panelists with without education, products created through Panelists education expressed a greater overall liking for animal-based pairing. Sensory-Affective Ideational appeared be...
Consumers have a growing preference for convenient, fresh, and healthy seafood products with natural flavor, color, taste, extended shelf life. High-pressure processing (HPP) sous-vide cooking (SVC) are two methods that applied in the food industry to extend life enhance flavor of shrimps. This study aimed investigate effect combination HPP (300 MPa/350 MPa/400 MPa) SVC (65°C/15 min) on physicochemical, sensorial, textural (hardness) properties fresh white shrimp (Litopenaeus setiferus). A...
Abstract This article summarizes the activities of molecular gastronomy (MG) in Ireland since scientific discipline was first introduced country. MG has been developing over last five years, however, authors this have trying to establish a strong infrastructure Ireland. Indeed, lot work still needs be done, but public interest and positive perceptions "chemistry" increased very quickly; consequently, there is great potential for further development. we can now say that crossed Rubicon...
Abstract Stevia is an emerging natural high‐intensity sweetener. There are negative perceptions of zero‐calorie sweeteners, but studies that provide knowledge these sweeteners improve their perception. This study evaluated consumer acceptability a zero‐sugar bakery product under blind and informed conditions ( n = 96) along with physicochemical analysis the products. Rebaudioside A (Reb A) new types stevia (Rebs D M) sugar as control were used to formulate pound cakes. Panelists overall...
Abstract Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality, but the benefit of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy uncertain. However, most randomized-controlled trials have focused on role CPAP in secondary prevention although there growing evidence a potential early CV disease.

This qualitative study explored and compared the perceptions, attitudes, motivations towards restaurant food waste mitigation among front-of-house (FOH) back-of-house (BOH) managers. Semi-structured, one-on-one interviews were conducted with FOH (n = 6) BOH 7) managers at restaurants in southeast of United States. The findings indicated that participants highly aware its contribution to waste; furthermore, they displayed negative sentiments it. Additionally, most participants’ awareness was...
In hospitality management education, diminishing interest in food safety and sanitation education poses challenges compounded by limited awareness of its importance. An immersive learning platform with virtual simulation environments for was developed integrated into a foodservice course on Bachelor Science Hospitality Management curriculum. This paper describes the development implementation platform, highlighting positive impact outcomes to date. The underscores practical use technology...
This paper explores the factors that influence selection and application of technical ingredients by food beverage manufacturers. A mixed-method design was used to collect both qualitative quantitative data from 54 US-based Thematic analysis identified several themes subthemes. Technical properties (88.09) clean label (78.79) were found be important factors. However, results indicated items are growing in importance such may selected even when more functionally appropriate already exist. The...
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is associated with reductions in quality and of life indices. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy improves life, but adherence to treatment often poor. In this study we evaluated the effect CPAP vs. a glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 (Liraglutide)-mediated weight loss strategy (LWR) on scores. These are data from randomized proof-of-concept (clinicaltrials.gov: NCT04186494). 30 patients moderate severe OSA without diabetes were randomised CPAP, LWR...
Optimization of the volatile release two commonly used flavor compounds (isoamyl acetate and furfuryl acetate) from a food emulsion model system was evaluated using response surface methodology (RSM). Twenty-seven random order settings were established central composite face-centered (CCF) experimental design. The main combined effects four independent variables—concentration isoamyl (50–90 ppm), (20–30 salt (NaCl; 0.1–2%), pH (5–7)—on responses examined. objective present study to determine...
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the decision contract school meal services and associated nutritional financial impacts on districts. Given increase in use competitive contracting public critical role that play health, an important subject investigate. Design/methodology/approach A case study was performed using one US district with privatized food service. Face-to-face interviews were conducted service makers. Other data collection included analysis documents such as...
