Long-term Outcome of a Chihuahua With Idiopathic Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone Secretion.

An approximately 3 yr old female Chihuahua was presented for evaluation of polyuria and polydipsia noted by the owner after adoption. Serum biochemistry and urinalysis revealed hyponatremia, hypochloremia, hypo-osmolality, and normal fractional excretion of sodium. Serum antidiuretic hormone concentration was 5.54 pg/mL and serum copeptin concentration was 135.40 pg/mL. The antidiuretic hormone value was above the reported range for healthy dogs and was considered inappropriate in light of serum osmolality. Idiopathic syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion was considered the most likely diagnosis after excluding other potential causes, such as diuretic use, renal disease, adrenal disease, and thyroid dysfunction. The dog remains clinically well 2 yr after diagnosis without specific treatment other than minimal dietary salt supplementation. This case is unique because of the absence of systemic or neurologic signs, good long-term outcome without treatment, and use of novel diagnostic testing.

Effect of Supplementation of Buffer salt on Milk Production in Dairy cows

The effect of consuming a sucrose-containing sports drink on acute kidney injury risk during a four-hour simulated occupational heat stress.

Occupational heat stress increases acute kidney injury risk. Drinking a soft drink sweetened with high fructose corn syrup further elevates this acute kidney injury risk. However, the impact of sucrose, another fructose containing-sweetener, on acute kidney injury risk remains unexplored. We tested the hypothesis that drinking a sucrose-containing sports drink increases acute kidney injury risk when compared to drinking a sugar-free sports drink during four hours of simulated occupational heat stress. Ten healthy adults consumed a sucrose-containing or sugar-free sport drink ad libitum during four-hour exposures to wet bulb globe temperatures of ~28°C. 30 min of work and 30 min of rest were completed each hour. Work involved treadmill walking at a fixed rate of metabolic heat production (sucrose-containing: 6.0±1.2 W/kg, sugar-free: 5.5±0.9 W/kg, p=0.267). The product of urinary insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2, normalized to urine specific gravity ([IGFBP7·TIMP-2]USG), provided an acute kidney injury risk index. Mean core (intestinal: n=13, rectal: n=7) temperature (sucrose-containing: 37.5±0.1°C, sugar-free: 37.5±0.3 °C; p=0.914), peak core temperature (sucrose-containing: 37.8±0.2°C, sugar-free: 37.9±0.3 °C; p=0.398), and percent changes in body mass (sucrose-containing: -0.5±0.4%, sugar-free: -0.3±0.6%; p=0.386) did not differ between groups. [IGFBP7∙TIMP-2]USG increased in both groups (time effect: p=0.0254) with no drink (p=0.675) or interaction (p=0.715) effects. Peak change [IGFBP7∙TIMP-2]USG did not differ between sucrose-containing (median 0.0116 [-0.0012, 0.1760] (ng/mL)²/1000) and sugar-free (median 0.0021 [0.0003, 0.2077] (ng/mL)²/1000; p=0.796). Sucrose-containing sports drink consumption during simulated occupational heat stress does not modify acute kidney injury risk when compared to sugar free-sport drink consumption.

Effect of Energy Drinks on Surface Roughness and Weight Loss of Custom-Made Mouthguard Material

Aim: To investigate the effect of different drinks on the surface roughness and weight loss of custom-made mouthguard material prepared in two different thicknesses. Materials and Methods: The custom-made mouthguard material Ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) (4.0x125 mm) was used in the current research. 102 rectangular prism specimens (8 × 8 mm) from two different thickness (3 and 4 mm) were prepared. They were randomly divided into four different groups (n=13), numbered, and initial weight and roughness measurements were recorded. All specimens were then stored in 4 different drinks, including 2 different energy drinks, an isotonic sports drink, and water. At the end of the 7-day and 28-day periods, weight and roughness measurements of the specimens were again performed and recorded. The data were analyzed the repeated measures ANOVA, one-way ANOVA, and the paired sample t tests (α=.05). Results: There were no statistically significant differences in the weight × beverage and roughness × beverage interactions (p>0.05) both weight and roughness changes of specimens at 0, 7, and 28 days. Conclusion: Energy drinks and sports drinks have no effect on the surface liquid and weight of the specially produced oral material.

Application of HPLC Coupled with a Charged Aerosol Detector to the Evaluation of Fructose, Glucose, Sucrose, and Inositol Levels in Fruit Juices, Energy Drinks, Sports Drinks, and Soft Drinks

The study aimed to estimate the levels of fructose, glucose, sucrose, and inositol levels in sweetened beverages with a newly developed method using HPLC coupled with a charged aerosol detector (CAD). In total, 85 commercially available non-alcoholic beverages, including 18 energy drinks, 8 sports drinks, 15 soft drinks, 14 fruit drinks, 7 fruit nectars, and 22 fruit juices were analyzed by HPLC-CAD. The method was validated, and it was characterized by a wide concentration range (1–150 µg/mL), sensitivity, and good accuracy (94.9–103%). The results showed significant variation in fructose, glucose, and sucrose concentrations in energy drinks, sports drinks, soft drinks, fruit drinks, fruit nectars, and juice. The highest total sugar contents (fructose, glucose, sucrose, and inositol) were found in energy drinks (14.2 g/100 mL), followed by fruit nectars (13.7 g/100 mL) and soft drinks (12.7 g/100 mL). Statistical analysis (Spearman correlation test, Kruskal–Wallis test) of the data showed significant relationships between particular sugars in the analyzed products.

Development, characterization and stability of a novel sport drink based on thermal water, apple juice and hibiscus

Isotonic drinks are sports beverages that replenish minerals and rapidly absorbable carbohydrates. We proposed to surpass traditional formulations of isotonic drinks by integrating thermal water, which remains unexploited as a source of electrolytes in isotonic despite the high mineral content. The novel formula combined thermal water with apple juice and hibiscus extract (as sources of sugars and color, respectively, and bioactive compounds). Through comprehensive analysis of chemical, physicochemical, and microbiological properties over 45 days at 4°C and 25°C, the results unveiled an isotonic drink with satisfactory characteristics for this product category: pH of 3.72, 7.93 mg/100 mL of total sugars, and 148.30 mg/100 mL minerals, predominantly sodium (34.99 mg/100 mL) and potassium (73.20 mg/100 mL). It showed significant phenolic compounds, notably chlorogenic acid (2.75±0.10 mg/100 mL), and antioxidant activity (472.72 µmol Trolox eq/100 mL). It maintained a vibrant red hue derived from hibiscus anthocyanins (delphinidin 3-O-sambubioside and cyanidin 3-O-sambubioside, totaling 4.06±0.03 mg/100 mL), and demonstrated microbiological stability throughout the storage period in both temperatures studied. Therefore, by harnessing the potential of thermal water, this study paves the way for a novel approach to developing sports beverages and can serve as a model for countries rich in thermal springs.

Analysis of the pH levels in energy and pre-workout beverages and frequency of consumption: a cross-sectional study

BackgroundErosive tooth wear is an increasingly common pathology in the youth population. It refers to the chronic, localized, painless loss of dental hard tissues caused by non-bacterial acids, often originating from external sources like acidic beverages. Energy drink consumption is on the rise, frequently preceding physical exercise to enhance perceived energy levels. However, there are other types of beverages that also provide energy, such as pre-workout drinks, classified as sports drinks. The main objective of this research study has been conducted with the purpose of analyzing the pH of energy drinks and pre-workout beverages, and studying the frequency of consumption of such beverages in amateur athletes who practice sports.MethodsA total of 67 beverages were examined, comprising 43 energy drinks and 24 sports supplementation beverages, also known as pre-workout or pre-training beverages. The participants were given a survey to complete. They were asked to respond whether they consumed any type of pre-workout or energy drink, and they were also asked about the timing of consumption.ResultsThe findings indicated an average pH of 3.3 among the studied beverages, indicating a pH below the critical threshold. Out of the 113 participants, 51% reported taking some form of supplementation.ConclusionsConsequently, it was concluded that most of the analyzed beverages recorded pH values low enough to classify them as erosive, posing a threat to enamel surface. When analyzing the frequency of consumption of energy drinks and pre-workout beverages in amateur athletes, we observed that most participants aged 29 years or younger took supplements 3 to 5 times a week, while the older age groups more frequently took supplements 1 to 2 times a week.

An Analysis Of Energy And Nutrient Content In High Energy Natural Isotonic Drink (Isopower)

Isotonic drink is the carbonated or non-carbonated drink product used to subtitute the fluid lost in the body. Lack of fluid in the body can cause muscle fatigue until causing the performance decrease in athlete. Isotonic drink can accelerate the return of body fluid compared to water. The purpose of this research was to analyze the content of energy, sodium, potassium, and Vitamin C in isotonic drink with raw material coconut water, pure coconut oil, bee bread, palm vinegar, and honey as high energy natural istotonic drink. The research design used was descriptive observation based laboratory test. The data analysis employed SPSS 22 programs namely by carrying out descriptive test until obtained the average for each isotonic namely 247,491 kkla, sodium 77,085 mg.kg, potassium 1000,785 mg/kg and Vitamin C 2,112 mg. This research concluded that the energy drink content has fulfilled the quality specification of isotonic drink, while the sodium and potassium level do not fulfill the quality specification of isotonic drink yet. Likewise with the Vitamin C content which also does not fulfill the Referrence of Nutrition Label namely 10%.

Zinc adherence among caregivers of under five children with diarrhea in Gondar City, Northwest Ethiopia

IntroductionZinc with oral re-hydration salt supplementation provides much improved outcomes for managing childhood diarrhea. There is scarcity of evidence in the study area regarding zinc supplementation adherence and factors associated with. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess zinc supplementation adherence and associated factors among caregivers of under five children with diarrhea attending health centers in Gondar City.MethodsAn institutional based cross-sectional study was conducted with 405 caregivers of under-five children with diarrhea who received zinc supplementation in Gondar City health centers. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression analysis were computed.Results35% (95% CI: 29.91, 39.21) of caregivers of under five children adhered for zinc supplementation. Adherence was observed among caregivers with good knowledge about zinc supplementation (AOR = 3.01 95%CI = 1.73, 5.24), and who received counseling (AOR = 8.4, 95%CI = 4.66, 15.13), presence of side effects (AOR = 0.35, 95% CI 0.20, 0.65) was negatively associated with zinc supplementation adherence.ConclusionIn the study area, more than one third of children with diarrhea were adhered to zinc supplementation. Thus, improving the knowledge of caregivers and enhancing counseling services on benefits, dosage, duration and side effects of zinc supplementation are vital to improve adherence in the area.

Skimmed, Lactose-Free Milk Ingestion Postexercise: Rehydration Effectiveness and Gastrointestinal Disturbances Versus Water and a Sports Drink in Physically Active People.

Postexercise hydration is fundamental to replace fluid loss from sweat. This study evaluated rehydration and gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms for each of three beverages: water (W), sports drink (SD), and skimmed, lactose-free milk (SLM) after moderate-intensity cycling in the heat. Sixteen college students completed three exercise sessions each to lose ≈2% of their body mass. They drank 150% of body mass loss of the drink assigned in randomized order; net fluid balance, diuresis, and GI symptoms were measured and followed up for 3hr after completion of fluid intake. SLM showed higher fluid retention (∼69%) versus W (∼40%; p < .001); SD (∼56%) was not different from SLM or W (p > .05). Net fluid balance was higher for SLM (-0.26kg) and SD (-0.42kg) than W (-0.67kg) after 3hr (p < .001), resulting from a significantly lower diuresis with SLM. Reported GI disturbances were mild and showed no difference among drinks (p > .05) despite ingestion of W (1,992 ± 425ml), SD (1,999 ± 429ml), and SLM (1,993 ± 426ml) in 90min. In conclusion, SLM was more effective than W for postexercise rehydration, showing greater fluid retention for the 3-hr follow-up and presenting with low-intensity GI symptoms similar to those with W and SD. These results confirm that SLM is an effective option for hydration after exercise in the heat.

Development of a sports nutrition knowledge questionnaire for elite track and field athletes

Background: Satisfactory nutrition knowledge among athletes is important to encourage proper dietary habits to overcome deficiencies and enhance sports performance. Identifying knowledge gaps in sports nutrition is essential for improving athletes' understanding through a tool that evaluates both general nutrition knowledge (GNK) and sports nutrition knowledge (SNK). This study aims to develop the Athletic Sports Nutrition Knowledge Questionnaire (A-SNKQ) specifically for Sri Lankan track and field athletes. Methods: The development of the A-SNKQ followed an extensive step-wise approach. Firstly, a systematic literature review was conducted on existing SNK questionnaires for athletes. Secondly, sports nutrition guidelines were incorporated into the questionnaire. Thirdly, information from local literature was gathered to ensure contextual relevance. Lastly, a qualitative study involving key athletic stakeholders was conducted to gain cultural insights. Results: The final version of the questionnaire consists of 32 questions in 12 sub-sections under two main sections: GNK section covers macronutrients, micronutrients, energy balance, hydration, and weight management, SNK section addresses carbohydrate loading, pre-training, training and post-training meals, sports supplements, supplement label reading, isotonic drinks, doping, and relative energy deficiency syndrome in sports. Conclusions: The GNK section addresses the fundamental nutritional concepts, while SNK focuses on the knowledge associated with the sporting performance of athletes.

Consumers’ attitudes and intentions toward functional beverages: a lesson for producers and retailers

Functional foods and drinks benefit human health beyond adequate nutritional effects. The rising popularity of functional beverages (FBs) is associated, among others, with their convenience and capacity to meet consumer needs. This research study aimed to explore the predictors of consumers’ intentions toward functional beverages FBs and develop guidelines for how producers and retailers could develop adequate strategies regarding the products. The online questionnaire survey examined consumers’ willingness to purchase (WTP) FBs in three categories: (i) yogurts, kefirs; (ii) isotonic, hypertonic, and hypotonic drinks; (iii) smoothie drinks, and fruit/vegetable cocktails. The questionnaire considered consumers’ values, attitudes, and intentions toward FBs. A four-stage hierarchical multiple regression was undertaken. Predictors of WTP products from the selected groups differed. Women were more willing to buy fruit and vegetable-based FBs than men. Reward from using functional foods was the strongest predictor of consumers’ WTP dairy FBs and sports drinks. We suggest conducting an experimental study in the future, which should allow us to best determine cause-and-effect relationships between values and attitudes and WTP FBs. Food habits are essential determinants of consumer intentions toward FBs; hence, we suggest promoting healthy nutrition habits within public–private partnerships. Retailers that offer health foods and employ societal retailing may disclose this information in sustainability reporting. The originality of this study resides in designing a model for assessing consumers’ attitudes and intentions toward FBs belonging to three selected categories. Previous studies were usually focused on the functional food market in Asian countries. We examined consumers’ WTP FBs in a European country.

Rehydration effect of qingshu buye decoction on exercise and high temperature-induced dehydration.

The aim of this study was to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the rehydration efficacy of QSBYD and elucidate its potential underlying mechanism. 38 participants were randomly assigned to receive either QSBYD or placebo before and after exercise and heat-induced dehydration. Hydration indicators were measured over time. Blood tests assessed cellular anaerobic respiration metabolites, serum inflammatory markers, and coagulation markers. Perceptual measures of thirst, fatigue, and muscular soreness were also taken. QSBYD consumption resulted in lower urine volume (Control vs. QSBYD: 260.83 ± 167.99 ml vs. 187.78 ± 141.34 ml) and smaller decrease in percentage of nude body weight change from baseline (Control vs. QSBYD: -0.52 ± 0.89% vs. -0.07 ± 0.52%). Although no significant differences in urine specific gravity, QSBYD resulted in reduced urine volume at 120 min, suggesting improved fluid retention. Furthermore, QSBYD resulted in lower levels of IL-1β (Control vs. QSBYD: 2.40 ± 0.68 vs. 1.33 ± 0.66 pg/mL), suggesting QSBYD may provide benefits beyond hydration. Further investigation into the underlying mechanisms and long-term effects of QSBYD on hydration is warranted. QSBYD may be an effective alternative to commercial sports drinks in mitigating dehydration effects.

The effect of tart cherry juice compared to a sports drink on cycling exercise performance, substrate metabolism, and recovery.

Tart cherries have low glycemic index, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and therefore may benefit performance and recovery from exercise. We determined the effects of consuming tart cherry juice versus a high-glycemic index sports drink on cycling performance, substrate oxidation, and recovery of low-frequency fatigue. Using a randomized, counter-balanced cross-over design, with one-month washout, 12 recreational cyclists (8 males and 4 females; 35±16y; VO2peak 38.2±7.4 ml/kg/min) consumed cherry juice or sports drink twice a day (300mL/d) for 4d before and 2d after exercise. On the exercise day, beverages (providing 1g/kg carbohydrate) were consumed 45min before 90min of cycling at 65%VO2peak, followed by a 10km time trial. Blood glucose, lactate, carbohydrate and fat oxidation, respiratory exchange ratio (RER), O2 cost of cycling, and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) were measured during the initial 90min of cycling. Muscle soreness, maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) and low-frequency fatigue were determined at baseline and after the time trial on the exercise day, and 30min after beverage consumption 24 and 48h later. There were no differences for time trial performance (17±3min cherry juice vs. 17±2min sports drink, p = 0.27) or any other measures between drink conditions. There were time main effects (p<0.05) for isometric MVC (decreasing) and low-frequency fatigue (increasing; i.e. decreased force at low relative to high stimulation frequencies), changing significantly from baseline to post-exercise and then returning to baseline at 24h post-exercise. Tart cherry juice was not effective for improving performance, substrate oxidation during exercise, and recovery from exercise, compared to a high-glycemic index sports drink.

Zinc for GNAO1 encephalopathy: Preclinical profiling and a clinical case

De novo pathogenic variants in GNAO1-the gene encoding the major neuronal G protein Gαo-cause pediatric encephalopathies and other neurological deficiencies largely refractory to available therapies. Zn2+ emerged to restore guanosine triphosphate hydrolysis and cellular interactions of pathogenic Gαo; dietary zinc salt supplementation improves lifespan and motoric function in a Drosophila disease model. Using biochemical, animal, and first-in-human studies, we provide support for the patient stratification and application of zinc acetate in GNAO1-associated disorders. We show that 16 different pathogenic missense variants cluster in three distinct groups in their responsiveness to Zn2+, and we provide the safety study in a mouse disease model. We further describe treatment of a 3-year-old patient with the common pathogenic GNAO1 variant c607G>A, p.Gly203Arg with oral 50mg zinc (in the form of zinc acetate) daily, as applied in Wilson's disease. During 11months of treatment, the patient shows cessation of daily dyskinetic crises, improved Burke-Fahn Marsden Dystonia Rating Scale movement score, reduction in epileptic seizures, and an excellent safety profile. Our findings warrant a large-scale clinical trial and might set the new standard of care for GNAO1-related disorders. This work was funded by the Russian Science Foundation (grant #21-15-00138) and GNAO1 España.

Assessment of Nutritional Practices of Mountain Runners before and during Competitions.

Mountain running, distinct from traditional road running, involves natural trails with significant elevation changes. This study aims to analyze dietary and supplementation practices among advanced and elite Polish mountain runners. Conducted from May to October 2023, this study included 36 participants (13 women, 23 men) aged 21-43 years. A custom questionnaire assessed nutrition two days before and during a competition, focusing on macronutrient intake, hydration, and supplementation. Statistical analyses were performed to compare advanced and elite athletes. Participants consumed an average of 3164.14 kcal two days before and 3176.97 kcal the day before the competition. Carbohydrate intake averaged 7.69 g/kg two days before and 7.64 g/kg the day before the race, potentially insufficient for optimal glycogen stores. Protein intake was adequate, averaging 1.63 g/kg two days before and 1.73 g/kg the day before the race. Fluid intake averaged 2811.25 mL two days before and 2891.80 mL the day before the race. During races, carbohydrate intake averaged 58.56 g/h, with variations based on race duration. Most participants used isotonic drinks and water for hydration. Mountain runners generally adhere to proper nutrition guidelines, with adequate protein and fluid intake. However, their carbohydrate intake may be insufficient for longer races. Higher carbohydrate intake during exercise could provide additional benefits.

Evaluation of the mineral and antinutritional composition of bottled and sterilized Tigernut (Cyperus esculentus) milk

Nowadays, beverages are not just considered as thirst quenchers; specific functionality is the major ingredient expected in beverages, which has becomes a lifestyle. In recent years, these initiations have led to newly developed products in the beverages sector. Companies are learning the consumption styles of various individuals and making novel beverages through blends of milk and energy drinks. Tigernut milk is among the most valued plant-based beverages, obtained from the aqueous extract of tigernuts tubers. This study investigated the mineral and antinutritional components of bottled and sterilized tigernut milk. Two varieties of tigernut tuber (Yellow and brown) were processed using three methods (Boiling, soaking and malting), and the milk was bottled and further sterilized. The results obtained showed that Iron recorded the least value at (1.73mg and 2.24mg) for yellow and brown tigernut tubers; alsotigernut tubers were low in some antinutrients except flavonoids. The result for the tigernut milk elucidated that processing and sterilization had little effect on the mineral content of tigernut milk. The study also showed that the pre-processing treatment applied (Soaking, boiling and malting) to the tigernut either increased or caused a decline in the mineral content of the tigernut milk, whereas, processing and sterilization affected the antinutrient content of tigernut milk. All processing methods showed a significant difference (p&lt;0.05.) as there was a decrease in the phytate and oxalate content. The study highlighted the possibility of processing tigernut tubers into milk extract that can be bottled and sterilized for a period of time.

Creatinine clearance is maintained in a range of wet-bulb globe temperatures and work-rest ratios during simulated occupational heat stress.

We tested the hypothesis that compliance with the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) heat stress recommendations will prevent reductions in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) across a range of wet-bulb globe temperatures (WBGTs) and work-rest ratios at a fixed work intensity. We also tested the hypothesis that noncompliance would result in a reduction in GFR compared with a work-rest matched compliant trial. Twelve healthy adults completed five trials (four NIOSH compliant and one noncompliant) that consisted of 4 h of exposure to a range of WBGTs. Subjects walked on a treadmill (heat production: approximately 430 W) and work-rest ratios (work/h: 60, 45, 30, and 15 min) were prescribed as a function of WBGT (24°C, 26.5°C, 28.5°C, 30°C, and 36°C), and subjects drank a sport drink ad libitum. Peak core temperature (TC) and percentage change in body weight (%ΔBW) were measured. Creatinine clearance measured pre- and postexposure provided a primary marker of GFR. Peak TC did not differ among NIOSH-compliant trials (P = 0.065) but differed between compliant versus noncompliant trials (P < 0.001). %ΔBW did not differ among NIOSH-compliant trials (P = 0.131) or between compliant versus noncompliant trials (P = 0.185). Creatinine clearance did not change or differ among compliant trials (P ≥ 0.079). Creatinine clearance did not change or differ between compliant versus noncompliant trials (P ≥ 0.661). Compliance with the NIOSH recommendations maintained GFR. Surprisingly, despite a greater heat strain in a noncompliant trial, GFR was maintained highlighting the potential relative importance of hydration.NEW & NOTEWORTHY We highlight that glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is maintained during simulated occupational heat stress across a range of total work, work-rest ratios, and wet-bulb globe temperatures with ad libitum consumption of an electrolyte and sugar-containing sports drink. Compared with a work-rest matched compliant trial, noncompliance resulted in augmented heat strain but did not induce a reduction in GFR likely due to an increased relative fluid intake and robust fluid conservatory responses.
