Summary: The QSUR Summit held in November 2022 focused on advancing the development and use of QSURs for chemical substance prioritization, risk assessment, and mitigation. Experts from various countries discussed the importance of data collection, sharing, and quantification of chemical quantities. Collaborative approaches were proposed to address challenges such as protecting proprietary information. The discussions also highlighted the potential applications of QSURs in sustainable formulation discovery and the need for case studies in specific problem formulations.

Summary: This study compared the effects of a pregnancy diet with 75% of total carbohydrates as refined grains to a diet with 75% of total carbohydrates as whole grains on pregnancy outcomes and the microbiome. The results showed a trend of decreased vaginal bacterial alpha diversity and increased Lactobacillus dominance in mothers consuming the whole grains diet. These findings suggest that diet modulations during gestation may have implications for maternal and neonatal health and the transfer of maternal microbiome.

Summary: Healthy eating patterns advocate for whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and other nutritious foods, however, whole grains are often not included in nutrient profiling models. Most nutrient profiling models identify healthy foods as those with limited energy, saturated fat, sugar, and sodium content. As global dietary guidance shifts towards food and food groups, future nutrient density metrics may need to align with this approach.

Summary: Schools have significant impacts on children's development in various aspects. District wellness policies play a crucial role in promoting health-related practices within and outside school buildings. However, many current policies are limited, isolated, and reactive, rather than proactive. This paper discusses the strengthening of food, nutrition, and physical activity policies in the United States, the historical approaches to policies on children's social, emotional, and behavioral health, and proposes the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) model for enhancing the coordination and integration of wellness policies. The use of tools such as WellSAT WSCC and WSCC Policy and Practice Blueprints can support the implementation of the WSCC model and facilitate the development of the whole child.

Summary: Health system resilience refers to the ability of health systems to absorb, adapt or transform to maintain essential functions when stressed or shocked. Longitudinal and comparative case studies using co-creation and co-production approaches involving policymakers, practitioners, and the public are needed to fill research gaps in this area.

Summary: This study examines the adoption of the holistic One Health approach in prevention, preparedness, and response strategies for health threats, finding that the approach is mainly utilized in prevention strategies, particularly in the areas of human and animal health, with less integration in environmental and social sciences.

Summary: A study on Swedish adolescents' attitudes and behaviors towards healthy eating, particularly whole grains, found that while the willingness to eat healthier and whole grain was high, the consumption of whole grain products was low. The unavailability of tasty healthy products was reported as a barrier to healthy eating, especially among those with low health interest. Taste and availability were rated as the most important factors for improving dietary habits among adolescents, rather than knowledge about the products' healthiness.

Summary: This study investigated the carbonyl trapping activity of bound-polyphenol rich insoluble dietary fiber (BP-IDF) from different whole grains and its underlying mechanism. The black highland barley BP-IDF showed significant effects in scavenging carbonyls, particularly for methylglyoxal, glyoxal, acrolein, and malondialdehyde. Even after gastrointestinal digestion, the black highland barley BP-IDF still retained considerable trapping activity. The presence of bound polyphenols was found to contribute to the carbonyl scavenging capacity.
