After controlling for characteristics of schools and school food authorities and student demographics, income eligibility was the only student characteristic that emerged as a significant predictor of reporting hunger as the main reason for participation.

The results demonstrate that adolescents who regularly participate in the NSLP do so due to hunger, particularly if they are from low-income families.

Health care transition (HCT) is the complex process of changing from pediatric to adult-centered care. Comprehensive HCT processes have been associated with improved outcomes in all elements of the Triple Aim. Nationally accepted best practices emphasize Six Core Elements of HCT, including the use of transition readiness assessment tools completed during clinic visits. Specifically, Got Transition's tools include two 0-10 point self-report scales on the validated domains of importance of changing to an adult provider and managing their healthcare, and confidence in their ability to transition. The aim of this quality improvement project (QIP) was to improve the engagement of adolescents and young adults (AYAs), aged 14-20, in the process of transitioning from pediatric to adult care. The sub-aim focused specifically on parent/caregiver engagement in transition, using the same scales in a tool for parents/caregivers. An urban federally qualified health center initiated this QIP.

This QIP utilized the Institute for Healthcare Improvement Model for Improvement and plan-do-study-act cycles.

Eighty-five AYAs and 40 parents/caregivers completed readiness assessments twice. Scores improved overall, reaching statistical significance with a small change in AYA mean scores for importance (.94) and confidence (.75). Provision of a transition policy and completion of readiness assessments by AYAs and parents/caregivers met the 70% goal. Patient portal enrollments increased from 4.2% to 12.5%, although did not meet the 30% goal.

Engagement of AYAs and parents/caregivers was improved as a result of this QIP. Successful routine implementation of transition process measures demonstrated improved clinic-wide communication.

We examined the effects of caffeine, time of day, and alertness fluctuation on plasticity effects after transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) or 25ms paired associative stimulation (PAS25) in caffeine-naïve and caffeine-adapted subjects.

In two randomised, double-blinded, cross-over or placebo-controlled (caffeine) studies, we measured sixty subjects in eight sessions (n=30, Male Female=11 in each study).

We found caffeine increased motor cortex excitability in caffeine naïve subjects. The aftereffects in caffeine naïve subjects were enhanced and prolonged when combined with PAS 25. Caffeine also increased alertness and the motor evoked potentials (MEPs) were reduced under light deprivation in caffeine consumers both with and without caffeine. In caffeine consumers, the time of day had no effect on tACS-induced plasticity.

We conclude that caffeine should be avoided or controlled as confounding factor for brain stimulation protocols. It is also important to keep the brightness constant i&term=NCT04011670&cntry=&state=&city=&dist=.

Bariatric surgery among patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) can induce complete remission. However, it remains unclear whether sleeve gastrectomy (SG) or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) has better T2D remission within a population-based daily practice.

To compare patients undergoing RYGB and SG on the extent of T2D remission at the 1-year follow-up.

Nationwide, population-based study including all 18 hospitals in the Netherlands providing metabolic and bariatric surgery.

Patients undergoing RYGB and SG between October 2015 and October 2018 with 1 year of complete follow-up data were selected from the mandatory nationwide Dutch Audit for Treatment of Obesity (DATO). The primary outcome is T2D remission within 1 year. Secondary outcomes include ≥20% total weight loss (TWL), obesity-related co-morbidity reduction, and postoperative complications with a Clavien-Dindo (CD) grade ≥III within 30 days. UCL-TRO-1938 supplier We compared T2D remission between RYGB and SG groups using propensity score matching to adjust fs.

Using population-based data from the Netherlands, this study shows that RYGB leads to better T2D remission rates at the 1-year follow-up and better metabolic outcomes for patients with obesity and T2D undergoing bariatric surgery in daily practice.

With the improved health afforded by cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulators, pregnancy rates are increasing in women with CF. In animal reproductive models, the three components of elexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor (ETI) did not cause teratogenicity at normal human doses. Although the limited human data available in the literature for previously approved modulators did not suggest cause for concern, there is currently no data in the literature regarding use of ETI in pregnant women. Thus, the decision to continue therapy during pregnancy (with the associated unknown fetal impact) versus discontinuing therapy (with the known risk of maternal health decline) is challenging.

CF Center staff completed an anonymous questionnaire regarding pregnancy and infant outcomes for women who used ETI during pregnancy and/or lactation.

Of 45 ETI-exposed pregnancies reported to date, complications in 2 mothers and in 3 infants (2 born to mothers with poorly controlled diabetes) were rated by clinicians as unknown (possible) or suspected relatedness to ETI use. Two women terminated unplanned pregnancies. Miscarriage rates were consistent with that known in the general U.S.

Five of the six women who discontinued ETI out of concern for unknown fetal risk restarted because of clinical deterioration. No infant cataracts were reported though only two infants were formally evaluated.

In the context of the known increased rate of complications in women with CF and their infants, data from this retrospective survey is reassuring for women who choose to continue ETI during pregnancy. However, a large, multi-center prospective study is needed to assess impact of use of ETI in pregnancy.
