Article Abstract
Purpose Of Review: Rice is a major staple food worldwide and a dietary source of arsenic. We therefore summarized the state of the epidemiologic evidence on whether rice consumption relates to health outcomes associated with arsenic exposure.
Recent Findings: While epidemiologic studies have reported that higher rice consumption may increase the risk of certain chronic conditions, i.e., type 2 diabetes, most did not consider specific constituents of rice or other sources of arsenic exposure. Studies that examined rice intake stratified by water concentrations of arsenic found evidence of increasing trends in cardiovascular disease risk, skin lesions, and squamous cell skin cancers and bladder cancer associated with higher rice consumption. Further studies are needed to understand the health impacts of arsenic exposure from rice consumption taking into account all sources of rice intake and potential confounding by other dietary constituents or contaminants and arsenic exposure from sources such as water.

Impact of Commercial Food Environments on Local Type 2 Diabetes Burden: Cross-Sectional and Ecological Multimodeling Study.

Background: Neighborhoods resulting from rapid urbanization processes are often saturated with eateries for local communities, potentially increasing exposure to unhealthy foods and creating diabetogenic residential habitats.
Objective: We examined the association between proximity of commercial food outlets to local neighborhood residences and type 2 diabetes (T2D) cases to explore how local T2D rates vary by location and provide policy-driven metrics to monitor food outlet density as a potential control for high local T2D rates.
Methods: This cross-sectional ecological study included 11,354 patients with active T2D aged ≥20 years geocoded using approximate neighborhood residence aggregated to area-level rates and counts by subdistricts (mukims) in Penang, northern Malaysia.

Objectives: The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) in England introduced early value assessments (EVAs) as an evidence-based method of accelerating access to promising health technologies that could address unmet needs and contribute to the National Health Service's Long Term Plan. However, there are currently no published works considering differences and commonalities in methods used between Assessment Reports for EVAs.
Methods: This rapid scoping review included all completed EVAs published on the NICE website up to 23 July 2024.

Objectives: The sequence of a meal's macronutrient consumption influences postprandial blood glucose, but it is unknown whether altering the order of macronutrient consumption before exercise affects glycemic and metabolic responses during exercise.
Design: Randomized controlled crossover trial.
Methods: Physically active adults who self-reported being free of cardiometabolic disease (n = 18; 8 male, 10 female) fasted for ≥8 h and were randomized to a rice-first or rice-last condition for one visit and the opposite for a second visit.
IMpact of PerioperAtive KeTamine on Enhanced Recovery After abdominal Surgery (IMPAKT ERAS): a pragmatic randomised single-cluster trial.

Department of Anesthesiology, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN, USA.
Background: Despite widespread adoption of ketamine into enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols, research regarding its specific impact on perioperative outcomes is limited. This pragmatic, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-cluster trial evaluated the impact of ketamine on postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery within an established ERAS protocol.
Methods: Male and female patients, aged ≥18 yr, were randomised to ketamine or saline placebo bolus at induction of general anaesthesia, followed by an intraoperative and postoperative infusion for 48 h.
Functional benefits of ultra-high hydrostatic pressurized brown rice on cognition, apathy, and bone health in older adults: A 12-month randomized controlled trial.

Age-related cognitive and psychological impairments are frequently accompanied by bone mineral density decline in older adults. Ultra-high hydrostatic pressurized brown rice (UBR) may support cognitive and bone health; however, the interplay between these domains remains unclear. The present randomized controlled trial aimed to examine the effects of daily UBR consumption for 12 months on cognitive function, mental health and bone status in community-dwelling older adults.
