Gaucher disease, the most common lysosomal storage can be treated with enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), in which defective acid-β-glucosidase (GlcCerase) is supplemented by a recombinant, active enzyme. The X-ray structures of recombinant GlcCerase produced Chinese hamster ovary cells (imiglucerase, Cerezyme®) and transgenic carrot (prGCD) have been previously solved. We now describe structure characteristics novel form under investigation for treatment Gene-Activated TM human...
Online food delivery (OFD) platforms have changed how consumers purchase prepared outside of home by capitalising on convenience and smartphone technology. Independent outlets encompass a substantial proportion partnering outlets, but their offerings’ nutritional quality is understudied. Little also known as to OFD influence consumer choice.

It is unknown how well menu labelling schemes that enforce the display of kilojoule (kJ) at point-of-sale have been implemented on online food delivery (OFD) services in Australia. This study aimed to examine prevalence kJ menus large outlets with more than twenty locations state or fifty nationally. A secondary aim was evaluate nutritional quality items OFD from mid-sized fewer what specified current scheme.
Direct electronic access to multiple health record (EHR) systems through patient portals offers a novel avenue for decentralized research. Given the critical value of characterization, we sought compare computable evaluation conditions from patient-portal EHR against traditional self-report. In nationwide Innovative Support Patients with SARS-CoV-2 Infections Registry (INSPIRE) study, which linked self-reported questionnaires multiplatform data, compared across different clinical domains...
Growing social media use in young adults may have applications health promotion. This study aimed to determine the acceptability and feasibility of using Instagram disseminate nutritional information Australians assess most preferred post style. A cross-sectional web-based pilot survey was conducted 18–30-year-olds residing New South Wales. Eight sets mock posts were generated comprising three formats: (i) text/icon, (ii) realistic image, or (iii) video. Respondents (n = 108) asked review...
Importance Chronic symptoms reported following an infection with SARS-CoV-2, such as cognitive problems, overlap included in the definition of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). Objective To evaluate prevalence ME/CFS-like illness subsequent to acute SARS-CoV-2 infection, changes ME/CFS through 12 months follow-up, and association test results at infection–like index illness. Design, Setting, Participants This prospective, multisite, longitudinal cohort study...

Technology-enhanced methods of dietary assessment may still face common limitations self-report. This study aimed to assess foods and beverages omitted when both a 24 h recall smartphone app were used intake compared with camera images. For three consecutive days, young adults (18–30 years) wore an Autographer that took point-of-view images every 30 seconds. Over the same period, participants reported their diet in completed daily recalls. Camera reviewed for food beverages, then matched...

Importance Large segments of the US population’s primary health care access occurs in emergency departments (EDs). These groups have disproportionately high COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and lower uptake. Objective To determine whether provision messaging platforms EDs increases acceptance uptake unvaccinated patients. Design, Setting, Participants This prospective cluster randomized clinical trial was conducted at 7 hospital 4 cities from December 6, 2021, to July 28, 2022. Noncritically ill...
This study examined the association of social contexts and food preparation location with quality meals snacks (predominately from five groups (FFG) versus discretionary foods) in a sample young Australian adults (18-30 years old) using wearable camera technology.A sub-sample cross-sectional MYMeals wore that captured images every 30 s for three consecutive days. Eating episodes 133 participants (55% female) were classified across 4 domains: (observed proportion FFG items), location,...
Abstract The present study examined the association of contextual factors (social and food preparation location) with energy density meals snacks consumed in a sample young Australian adults (18–30 years old) identified using wearable camera technology. Over three consecutive days, subsample wore that captured images 30 s intervals. Eating episodes from 133 participants were annotated for location social context (covering interaction screen use). same period, completed daily 24 h recalls....
Studies have shown that young adults follow less structured eating patterns compared with older cohorts. This may implications for dietary assessment methods which rely on memory and meal patterns. Our aim was to describe the intra-individual variation of times in aged 18−30 years. Participants (n = 41) wore an Autographer camera captured first-person perspective images every 30 s three consecutive days. All were timestamped those showing food consumption used extract data such as timing...
For artificial intelligence (AI) to support nutrition care, high quality and accuracy of its features within smartphone applications (apps) are essential. This study evaluated popular apps’ features, quality, behaviour change potential, comparative validity dietary assessment via manual logging AI. The top 200 free paid nutrition-related apps from Australia’s Apple App Google Play stores were screened (n = 800). Apps assessed using MARS (quality) ABACUS (behaviour potential). Nutritional...
Australia’s current food system does not equitably or sustainably feed all Australians. Coupled with the rising costs of essential goods, it raises concerns around cost living and security. This study aimed to investigate Reddit user perspectives on groceries in Australian subreddits. Posts related within subreddits were collected using Reddit’s Application Programming Interface (API) Python API Wrapper python package (version 7.7.1).

Introduction: Food insecurity (FI) has been associated with adverse health outcomes and increased healthcare expenditures. Many families experienced reduced access to food during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. A study revealed that prepandemic prevalence of FI at an urban, tertiary care hospital’s emergency department (ED) was 35.3%. We sought evaluate whether in same ED patient population COVID-19 Methods: performed a single-center, observational, survey-based study....
Focusing on potential missed injury rates and sensitivity of low-risk predictions, we sought to evaluate the accuracy physician gestalt in predicting clinically significant (CSI) abdomen pelvis among blunt trauma patients presenting emergency department (ED).We collected data physicians caring for adult who received abdominal/pelvic computed tomography (CT) at three Level I one II centers. The primary outcome CSI was defined as CT requiring hospitalization or intervention. Physicians...
Despite health advice and campaigns, discretionary beverages remain a source of added sweeteners (sugar intense sweeteners) fat in the dietary intakes many young adults.
