Subjects
*COVID-19 pandemic, *INDIRECT calorimetry, *CALORIC expenditure, *INFECTION control
Abstract

Introduction: Indirect calorimetry (IC) is the optimal tool for the assessment of the resting energy expenditure, as well as the reference standard for energy expenditure measurement. During the outbreak of coronavirus, performing respiratory tests such as IC has become challenging. The current guidance was designed to prevent the virus spread at calorimetry centers. Methods: This protocol was devised in accordance with the latest recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO) and Centers for Disease Control (CDC), as well as the related articles. Conclusion: Due to the specific features of COVID-19, unnecessary ICs should be avoided in the hotspots of the disease. If these tests must be performed, adherence to the validated infection control recommendations is critical. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Introduction: So far, few studies have examined the relationship between dietary patterns and depression in adolescents. The aim of the present study was to determine this relationship in a sample of adolescent Iranian girls. Materials and methods: 347 female high school students aged 14-17 years living in Shiraz, Iran participated in this cross-sectional study. General and physical activity questionnaires, dietary recalls, and Beck Depression Inventory-Second Edition (BDI-II) were completed for all individuals and their anthropometric characteristics were measured. The major dietary patterns were then identified using principal component factor analysis. Findings: In total, 2 major dietary patterns were identified. After adjusting for potential confounders in multivariate linear regression analysis, the Western pattern (characterized by high consumption of French fries, hydrogenated fats, mayonnaise, sweets and desserts, high-fat dairy, refined grains, red or processed meats, pickles, organ meats, and soft drinks and low consumption of low-fat dairy) was positively (standardized β coefficient: 0.510, P < 0.001) and the healthy pattern (characterized by high intake of vegetables, legumes, boiled potatoes, poultry, fish, vegetable oils, olives, fruits and fruit juices, and low-fat dairy and low intake of refined grains) was inversely associated (standardized β coefficient: -0.508, P < 0.001) with BDI-II score. Conclusion: Overall, findings of this study indicate that certain dietary patterns are associated with depression in adolescent Iranian girls. However, more studies are needed to further.

Abstract

Findings of studies on the link between dietary acid-base balance and bone mass are relatively mixed. We examined the association between dietary acid-base balance and bone mineral density (BMD) in a sample of Iranian women, hypothesizing that a higher dietary acidity would be inversely associated with BMD, even when dietary calcium intake is adequate. In this cross-sectional study, lumbar spine and femoral neck BMDs of 151 postmenopausal women aged 50 - 85 years were measured using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. Dietary intakes were assessed using a validated food frequency questionnaire. Renal net acid excretion (RNAE), an estimate of acid-base balance, was then calculated indirectly from the diet using the formulae of Remer (based on dietary intakes of protein, phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium; RNAERemer) and Frassetto (based on dietary intakes of protein and potassium; RNAEFrassetto), and was energy adjusted by the residual method. After adjusting for potential confounders, multivariable adjusted means of the lumbar spine BMD of women in the highest tertiles of RNAERemerand RNAEFrassettowere significantly lower than those in the lowest tertiles (for RNAERemer: mean difference -0.084 g/cm2; P=0.007 and for RNAEFrassetto: mean difference - 0.088 g/cm2; P=0.004). Similar results were observed in a subgroup analysis of subjects with dietary calcium intake of >800 mg/day. In conclusion, a higher RNAE (i. e. more dietary acidity), which is associated with greater intake of acid-generating foods and lower intake of alkali-generating foods, may be involved in deteriorating the bone health of postmenopausal Iranian women, even in the context of adequate dietary calcium intake.
