Assessment of diet in large epidemiological studies can be costly and time consuming. An automated dietary assessment system could potentially reduce researcher burden by automatically coding food records. myfood24 (Measure Your Food on One Day) an online 24-h dietary assessment tool (with the flexibility to be used for multiple 24 h-dietary recalls or as a food diary), has been developed for use in the UK population. Development of myfood24 was a multi-stage process. Focus groups conducted with three age groups, adolescents (11-18 years) (n = 28), adults (19-64 years) (n = 24) and older adults (65 years) (n = 5) informed the development of the tool, and usability testing was conducted with beta (adolescents n = 14, adults n = 8, older adults n = 1) and live (adolescents n = 70, adults n = 20, older adults n = 4) versions. Median system usability scale (SUS) scores (measured on a scale of 0-100) in adolescents and adults were marginal for the beta version (adolescents median SUS = 66, interquartile range (IQR) = 20; adults median SUS = 68, IQR = 40) and good for the live version (adolescents median SUS = 73, IQR = 22; adults median SUS = 80, IQR = 25). Myfood24 is the first online 24-h dietary recall tool for use with different age groups in the UK. Usability testing indicates that myfood24 is suitable for use in UK adolescents and adults.

Postdiagnosis body fatness, weight change and breast cancer prognosis: Global Cancer Update Program (CUP global) systematic literature review and meta-analysis

Giovannucci, Marc J. Gunter, Alan A. Jackson, Ellen Kampman, Vivien Lund, Kate Allen, Nigel T.

Tsilidis

Summary: A systematic review found strong evidence linking higher postdiagnosis body mass index (BMI) to increased all-cause mortality, breast cancer-specific mortality, and second primary breast cancer. Waist circumference, waist-hip-ratio, and weight change were also associated with breast cancer prognosis. Further research is needed to understand the impact of body composition on breast cancer outcomes.

Postdiagnosis body fatness, recreational physical activity, dietary factors and breast cancer prognosis: Global Cancer Update Programme (CUP Global) summary of evidence grading

Konstantinos K. Tsilidis, Margarita Cariolou, Nerea Becerra-Tomas, Katia Balducci, Rita Vieira, Leila Abar, Dagfinn Aune, Georgios Markozannes, Neesha Nanu, Darren C. Greenwood, Edward L. Giovannucci, Marc J. Gunter, Alan A. Jackson, Ellen Kampman, Vivien Lund, Kate Allen, Nigel T.

Summary: Based on systematic reviews and meta-analyses, this study found a strong association between postdiagnosis body fatness and higher all-cause mortality, breast cancer-specific mortality, and second primary breast cancer. Limited evidence suggests a relationship between body fatness and breast cancer recurrence and nonbreast cancer-related mortality. Limited-suggestive evidence indicates a lower risk of all-cause mortality and breast cancer-specific mortality with recreational physical activity. Data on dietary factors is limited. The study emphasizes the importance of lifestyle recommendations to avoid obesity and engage in physical activity for breast cancer patients.

Postdiagnosis recreational physical activity and breast cancer prognosis: Global Cancer Update Programme (CUP Global) systematic literature review and meta-analysis

Clinton, Anne McTiernan, Teresa Norat, Konstantinos K. Tsilidis, Doris S. M. Chan

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analyses to examine the associations between physical activity and breast cancer prognosis. The results showed that moderate physical activity was associated with lower all-cause and breast cancer-specific mortality, but had no significant effect on breast cancer recurrence. Furthermore, the study found that the benefits of physical activity plateaued after reaching a certain level.

Summary: Understanding the metabolic determinants of postexercise appetite regulation is important for developing therapeutics to suppress overeating behaviors and enhance the efficacy of exercise as a weight-loss treatment. This study found that dietary carbohydrate and exercise independently influenced gastrointestinal hormones associated with appetite regulation. Plasma acetate and succinate were identified as potential mediators of exercise-induced appetite and energy intake responses.

Summary: This study assessed the effect of weight loss on phenotypic flexibility using dietary challenges and found that weight loss can significantly reduce adipose tissue and ectopic fat. In addition, markers of insulin action and resistance were reduced after weight loss in the postprandial phase.

Summary: Obesity increases the risk of male infertility, but bariatric surgery does not improve semen quality. Recent studies suggest that a low-energy diet may enhance semen quality. This randomized controlled trial compares the effects of a low-energy diet with a brief dietary intervention on semen parameters in obese men.

Summary: This study surveyed the opinions of members of the British Dietetic Association and other relevant groups on the scope, content, and presentation of the Manual of dietetic practice. The majority of respondents were satisfied with the structure and content, but identified areas that were lacking or outdated, such as mental health and sustainability. Professionals suggested the next edition should focus more on practical information for clinical practice, while students wanted more summarized information and visual formats.

Summary: Endometriosis can have a negative impact on pregnancy outcomes. Primiparous women with endometriosis are at a higher risk of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and other complications compared to multiparous women. Further research is needed to understand the relationship between parity and endometriosis.

Implementation of pure shift 1H NMR in metabolic phenotyping for structural information recovery of biofluid metabolites with complex spin systems

Jose Ivan Serrano-Contreras, John C. Lindon, Gary Frost, Elaine Holmes, Jeremy K. Nicholson, Isabel Garcia-Perez

Summary: NMR spectroscopy is an important technique in metabolic profiling, but metabolite identification is often hindered by peak overlap. Recently developed pure shift NMR spectroscopy has the potential to simplify complex proton NMR spectra and aid metabolite identification. In this study, two complementary approaches to spectral simplification were evaluated, and both methods were found to improve resolution of resonances and enhance metabolite identification. These methods are easy to implement and the strong coupling artifacts contain latent connectivity information that can be used to enhance metabolite identification.
