Journal ArticleDOI
A systemic review of the roles of n-3 fatty acids in health and disease.
TL;DR: Additional controlled clinical trials are needed to document whether long-term consumption or supplementation with eicosapentaenoic acid/docosahexaenoic Acid or the plant-derived counterpart (alpha-linolenic acid) results in better quality of life.

The role of nutrition in children's neurocognitive development, from pregnancy through childhood
Anett Nyaradi,Anett Nyaradi,Jianghong Li,Jianghong Li,Siobhan Hickling,Siobhan Hickling,Jonathan K. Foster,Wendy H. Oddy +7 more
TL;DR: This review examines the current evidence for a possible connection between nutritional intake (including micronutrients and whole diet) and neurocognitive development in childhood and concludes that malnutrition can impair cognitive development, whilst breastfeeding appears to be beneficial for cognition.
Journal ArticleDOI
In inland China, rice, rather than fish, is the major pathway for methylmercury exposure.
TL;DR: It is found that rice consumption is by far the most important MeHg exposure route in populations in inland China; however, most of the residents (except those in Hg-mining areas) have low PDIs of MeHG.

Payal Kohli,Bruce D. Levy +1 more
TL;DR: This review describes the discovery and synthesis of these novel lipid mediators, their receptors and mechanisms of action, and summarizes the studies to date that have uncovered roles for resolvins and protectins in disease states.

TL;DR: The third Canadian Arctic Human Health Assessment addressed concerns about possible adverse health effects in individuals exposed to environmental contaminants through a diet containing country foods, and Inuit continue to have the highest levels of almost all persistent organic pollutants and metals among the ethnic groups studied.

A rapid method of total lipid extraction and purification.
E. G. Bligh,W. J. Dyer +1 more
TL;DR: The lipid decomposition studies in frozen fish have led to the development of a simple and rapid method for the extraction and purification of lipids from biological materials that has been applied to fish muscle and may easily be adapted to use with other tissues.

Statistical Principles in Experimental Design
TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce the principles of estimation and inference: means and variance, means and variations, and means and variance of estimators and inferors, and the analysis of factorial experiments having repeated measures on the same element.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simulation Study of Confounder-Selection Strategies
TL;DR: The authors compared the performance of several such strategies for fitting multiplicative Poisson regression models to cohort data, finding that the change-in-estimate and equivalence-test-of-the-difference strategies performed best when the cut-point for deciding whether crude and adjusted estimates differed by an important amount was set to a low value.
