Summary: The study found that multiple short urine collections throughout the day significantly improved the ability to identify supersaturation points, precipitation risk zones compared to the traditional 24-hour urine collection method.

Summary: The study found that 22% of patients had discrepant 24-hour urinary creatinine excretions. Among the remaining 78%, 22% of patients collected very accurately. A theoretical model and six collection scenarios were developed to detect, interpret, and correct discrepant collections.

Summary: Based on multiple 24-hour urine collections, we investigated the association between 24-hour urinary potassium excretion and serum potassium levels in CKD outpatients. The results showed a significant but weak association between serum potassium levels and dietary potassium intake in CKD patients.

Summary: Cushing syndrome (CS) is caused by an excess of glucocorticoids, leading to symptoms like obesity, moon facies, hirsutism, and reddish-purple stretch marks. Most cases of CS are caused by exogenous glucocorticoids, known as iatrogenic CS. Screening for CS caused by a tumor can be done by measuring cortisol in urine, and detection of prednisone and prednisolone is important in understanding the potential prevalence of iatrogenic CS in patients.

Summary: In older adults, high levels of hippuric acid are significantly associated with a reduction in frailty risk after 4 years. The relationship between hippuric acid and fruit-vegetable intake plays a role in the Frailty Index.

Summary: The study aimed to describe the variability of 24-hour urinary sodium excretion over consecutive days and determine its adequacy in estimating sodium intake. Results showed that a steady state of sodium balance was achieved within a few days under a constant diet, where sodium intake was proportional to its excretion. This suggests that repeated nonconsecutive urine collection may be unnecessary to estimate sodium intake in daily clinical practice, as long as the diet remains consistent over time.

Summary: The study revealed high sodium and low potassium intakes among Indonesian adults, especially pronounced in participants with higher BMI. Future intervention programs should take into account these issues when planned in the country.

Summary: Thailand aims to reduce population sodium intake by 30% by 2025, but lacks nationally representative data for monitoring. Analysis showed Thai adults consume nearly double the recommended dietary sodium levels, with consumption associated with age, education, BMI, and hypertension.

Summary: This study assessed the variability within and between individuals in 24-hour urine excretion of various elements, finding that men had higher excretion for most elements compared to women. The correlations between different elements varied, with high correlation between P and S.

Summary: This study examined the association between healthy food availability and cognitive performance among urban older adults. It found that subjective availability of healthy foods, but not objective food environments, was associated with better processing speed and memory binding performance. Furthermore, a portion of this association was mediated through fruit and vegetable consumption.

Summary: This study found that BPA, BPF, and BPS were frequently detected in urine samples, with BPAP being detected in 43% of samples. The reproducibility of the four bisphenols was relatively poor, but improved when corrected for urine dilution using creatinine levels, with BPF showing the best reproducibility.

Summary: 24-hour food recall appears to provide a reasonable estimate of mean salt intake as measured by 24-hour urine in Australian school children. However, it is a poor predictor of individual-level salt intake in children.

Summary: This study found that better access to fresh fruit and vegetables is not associated with a reduction in weight or body mass index. Additionally, weight and body mass index variations were more closely associated with educational level rather than with access to fresh fruit and vegetables.

Summary: One limitation of using 24-hour collection in patients with kidney stones is impracticality. This study analyzed the performance of spot urine measurements to estimate 24-hour excretion in these patients. The results showed that spot urine samples have limited utility in clinical practice, and future studies should focus on measuring or estimating 24-hour creatinine excretion.
