A Framework to Establish Diet and Nutrition Competencies for Oral Health Care Education

Journal of Dental Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective: To prevent and manage oral disease, oral health care practitioners (OHCPs) must provide dietary counseling based on nutrition science. OHCPs are often ill‐equipped to provide such counseling due to fragmented and inadequate dietary education, which is typically attributed to limited curricular time or appropriately qualified faculty.

Evaluation of food safety in the handling of home enteral nutrition based on a new contamination risk classification: A cross‐sectional study

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Home enteral nutrition (HEN) offers clinical benefits and is increasingly used, although handling‐related health risks remain unclear. This study assessed food safety in HEN using a new contamination risk classification. Methods First, the inter‐rater reliability of the Food Safety for Handling HEN checklist was analyzed in 25 ...

Pangenome dynamics and population structure of the zoonotic pathogen Salmonella enterica serotype Hadar

Nature Communications
The bacterial accessory genome, comprised of plasmids, phages, and other mobile elements, underpins the adaptability of bacterial populations. Pangenome (core and accessory) analysis of pathogens can reveal epidemiological relatedness missed by using ...
