Rethink Food Security and Nutrition Following Covid-19 Pandemic
By Jomo Kwame Sundaram and Wan Manan MudaKUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Jul 2 2020 (IPS) The Covid-19 crisis has had several unexpected effects, including renewed attention to food security concerns. Earlier understandings of food security in terms of production self-sufficiency have given way to importing supplies since late 20th century promotion of trade liberalization.
Jomo Kwame SundaramTransnational food business
Disruption of transnational food supply chains and the devastation of many vulnerable livelihoods by policy responses to the Covid-19 pandemic have revived interest in earlier understandings of food self-sufficien...

Women and Malnutrition in Africa
In conclusion, it is arguable that there are improved impacts on nutrition if agricultural interventions are targeted to women and when specific work is done around women’s empowerment (for example, through behaviour change communication), mediated through women’s time use, women’s own health and nutrition status, and women’s access to and control over resources as well as intrahousehold decision-making power. That this may be dismissed out of hand is not unlikely either, given the persistence of male dominance.The post Women and Malnutrition in Africa appeared first on Inter Press Service.

IJERPH, Vol. 20, Pages 5108: Retinal Microvasculature and Neural Changes and Dietary Patterns in an Older Population in Southern Italy
Conclusions: Eating habits and food consumption may be important risk factors for age-related retinal changes. A diet that provides the optimal intake of specific nutrients with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory powers, including carotenoids and omega-3 fatty acids, could have beneficial effects.

Janssen Submits New Drug Application to U.S. FDA for XARELTO ® (rivaroxaban) to Help Prevent and Treat Blood Clots in Pediatric Patients
RARITAN, NJ, June 23, 2021 – The Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson announced today it has submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the use of XARELTO® (rivaroxaban) in pediatric patients. The NDA seeks two pediatric indications: treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE, or blood clots) and reduction in the risk of recurrent VTE in patients aged birth to less than 18 years of age after at least five days of initial parenteral anticoagulant treatment; and thromboprophylaxis (prevention of blood clots) in patients aged 2 years and older with congenita...

Late-Breaking 12-Month Data of Investigational RPGR Gene Therapy Shows Statistically Significant and Continued Vision Improvement in Patients with X-Linked Retinitis Pigmentosa
RARITAN, N.J., November 13, 2020 – The Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson announced today new 12-month data from the ongoing Phase 1/2 trial (NCT03252847) of its investigational gene therapy for inherited retinal disease X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP). The data showed that low and intermediate doses were well-tolerated and continued to demonstrate statistically significant sustained or increased vision improvement across multiple metrics (mean sensitivity, volumetric and pointwise) and modalities (full-field static perimetry and microperimetry). Data on the novel adeno-associated virus retini...

Competition and cooperation among chimney swifts at roost entry
Chimney swifts ( Chaetura pelagica ) are highly aerial, small, insectivorous birds well known for
roosting en masse in chimneys during their autumn migration. These roosting events require hundreds
to thousands of birds to enter a small opening (here 0.64 m 2 ) within a short amount of time
(15 –30 min). Thus, these entry events pose a complex navigational and behavioral challenge as birds
identify their entry route, cooperate with other birds present to form an entry flock, and compete
with other birds at the time of chimney entry. We used six synchronized cameras to capture and
reconstruct the 3D flight traject...

Do the labels of vitamin A, C, and E supplements reflect actual vitamin content in commercial supplements?
This study aimed to determine the compliance between the actual levels of vitamins A, C, and E, determined by laboratory analysis, with those declared on the labels of vitamin supplements sold in an urban area in Brazil. Fifty-seven samples of vitamin supplements (tablets, sugar coated tablets, hard and soft gel capsules, suspensions, and solutions) were evaluated to determine their antioxidant vitamin contents. Vitamin A, E, and β-carotene contents were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography with diode-array detection (HPLC-DAD), and vitamin C content was determined by automatic potentiometric titration. Of...
