Summary: This study demonstrates dislocation-like phase singularities in interference patterns produced by condensate of indirect excitons. The analysis shows that the observed interference dislocations are not associated with exciton vortices and skyrmions. The results indicate that the interference dislocations originate from the moire effect in combined interference patterns of propagating condensate matter waves.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of cassava in the diets of mid-lactation dairy cows and determine the net energy value of cassava chips for lactation. The findings indicate that increasing the cassava chips in the diets could improve nutrient intake, digestibility, energy balance, milk yield, and milk composition without affecting enteric methane yield. The net energy value of cassava chips for lactation was estimated as 8.03 MJ/kg DM.

Summary: This study aimed to assess TEE in cancer patients, identify its predictors, and compare it with cancer-specific predicted energy requirements. The results showed that absolute TEE was higher in males, patients with colon cancer, and patients with obesity. TEE was lower than predicted requirements, indicating the need for improved assessment of energy requirements in cancer patients.

Summary: This review analysed the challenges and limitations of using indirect calorimetry in patients with sepsis, finding differences in methodology and presentation of results in studies. Multi-center and large sample patient evaluations, along with meta-analysis, could provide a more comprehensive understanding of metabolism in sepsis.

Summary: This meta-analysis found that IC-guided energy delivery significantly reduced short-term mortality in critically ill patients, without affecting the duration of mechanical ventilation, ICU stay, or hospital stay. More high-quality studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Summary: The study found that the actual energy expenditure (mEE) of ICU survivors during their post-ICU hospitalization period was around 22-23 kcal/kg/day, while the estimations from predictive equations (HB and WB) were significantly higher than the measured values. The PS equation was more accurate in estimating mEE.

Summary: This study found that temporal changes in VCO2 and VO2, as well as their association with lactate levels, may be predictive of prognosis in patients with sepsis. Patients with negative slopes of VCO2 and VO2 changes were more likely to survive.

Summary: This study explores the associations between physical activity patterns, eating behavior patterns and high blood pressure in children and adolescents. The results suggest that sedentary activity pattern increases the risk of high blood pressure and high diastolic blood pressure in boys. In addition, there is a positive association between sedentary activity pattern and systolic blood pressure in boys and girls, while moderate to vigorous physical activity pattern is negatively associated with diastolic blood pressure in boys.

Summary: Intestinal failure refers to the inability to absorb essential nutrients due to reduced gut function. Treatment with total or supplemental parenteral nutrition is necessary for patients with dysfunctional gastrointestinal systems. Indirect calorimetry is the recommended method for determining energy expenditure, allowing for individualized nutritional treatment. More research is needed to explore the use of indirect calorimetry in a home setting, particularly for intestinal failure patients.

Summary: Patients with diabetes often need to monitor their blood glucose levels regularly. However, the process of drawing blood samples can be painful and uncomfortable. Researchers have proposed a physiological model that calculates blood glucose levels based on measurements of interstitial fluid glucose levels using a sensor implanted in the subcutaneous tissue. This method can prolong the lifespan of the sensor and reduce discomfort for the patient, thereby improving their quality of life.

Summary: This research investigated the metabolic rates of Japanese individuals during various office activities and found that their metabolic rates were significantly lower than the standard values specified in international standards, with females showing lower rates than males. The study highlights the need for accurate metabolic rate values for accurate thermal comfort evaluation and CO2 generation rate estimation for building occupants.

Summary: This study presents a modified method for efficient and sensitive acquisition of CO2 output from single flies, and demonstrates that sleep-dependent changes in metabolic rate are diminished in aging flies. The study also suggests that flies on an all-sugar diet may undergo lipogenesis.

Summary: Indirect calorimetry systems estimate whole-body energy production by measuring the fractions of expired carbon dioxide and oxygen. This study assessed the accuracy and linearity of three systems using a propane burn rate manipulation method.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the alleviating effect of consuming catechins through bottled beverages on the duration and severity of URTIs in winter. Results showed that daily consumption of catechins significantly reduced the duration and severity of URTIs in healthy individuals, particularly the symptoms of runny nose, nasal congestion, and headache.

Summary: In this study, the combined consumption of green tea catechins and coffee chlorogenic acids (GTC+CCA) was evaluated for its effects on glucose control, insulin incretin response, and insulin sensitivity. The results showed that consuming GTC+CCA for three weeks significantly improved postprandial glycemic control, increased insulin sensitivity, and enhanced postprandial GLP-1 response. This combination may be effective in preventing diabetes.

Summary: Epidemiologic studies have found that drinking green tea or coffee can reduce the risk of diabetes. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study showed that the combined ingestion of green tea catechins and coffee chlorogenic acid can alter postprandial gastrointestinal hormones secretion and improve insulin sensitivity. The effective minimum dose was found to be 540 mg of green tea catechins and 150 mg of coffee chlorogenic acid.

Summary: Global epidemiologic evidence supports a connection between sleep disorders and fruits and vegetable ingestion, specifically the intake of polyphenols. Polyphenols are plant substances that are involved in oxidative stress, signaling pathways, and gene expression related to an anti-inflammatory environment. Understanding the relationship between polyphenol intake and sleep may lead to improved sleep and prevention of chronic disease. This review discusses the public health implications of polyphenol intake on sleep and the potential polyphenol molecules that can enhance sleep quality and quantity.

Summary: This study developed novel equations for estimating sitting REE and SMR, and compared them with previously published equations against measured values. The new FFM-based estimate explained a significant portion of the variance in measured REE and SMR, while previous FFM-based equations slightly underestimated SMR. This suggests that individual characteristics can be used to easily estimate sitting REE and SMR in clinical settings.
