Grain extrusion may be cost effective in swine diets – FeedStrategy.com

Posted: November 5, 2020 at 1:58 am

Extrusion improves the availability of energy and amino acid in swine diets, potentially reducing the diets cost enough to make up for the added processing, according to new research from the University of Illinois.

Previous research, according to University of Illinois animal science professor Hans Stein, had indicated that extrusion would increase the digestibility of starch, which would in turn increase the availability of energy in the diet and therefore decrease the overall amount of grain needed to feed the animal. The resulting research determined this relationship held true for corn and sorghum, but did not observe the same increase in red winter wheat.

The research team tested all three ingredients, extruding half of the corn, sorghum and wheat collected for the study. They then formulated diets with either extruded or non-extruded grains and analyzed the difference in digestibility.

By gelatinizing the starch contained within the grains, the experiment increased the energy available from corn and sorghum. Extrusion also appeared to increase the digestibility of amino acids, particularly in corn.

The overall increase in digestibility would reduce the need for key inputs in swine diets, and the increased availability of amino acids from corn would further reduce the need for soybean meal, according to Stein.

While Stein said the team did not calculate the potential difference in cost, he thought the benefits observed in the study would easily pay for the extrusion here.

The caveat, he said, is that extruded diets for swine are difficult to come by.

It would be better, he said, but Im not sure you can find it, because we have very little extrusion capacity.

Unless the U.S. animal feed industry undergoes a shift and extrusion becomes more widely available in livestock feed, Stein said the limited availability and specialty nature of extrusion would remain a hurdle for producers looking to try extruded grains in diets of their own.

Its probably not something that will be economical for a small producer who is producing his own feed, Stein said.

Proinflammatory Dietary Pattern Linked to Higher CV Risk – Medscape

Posted: November 5, 2020 at 1:58 am

Dietary patterns with higher inflammatory potential were significantly associated with a higher incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and stroke in a new pooled analysis of three prospective cohort studies.

The analysis included 210,145 US women and men followed for up to 32 years in the Nurses' Health Studies I and II and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study.

After adjustment for use of anti-inflammatory medications and CVD risk factors, those whose dietary pattern ranked in the highest quintile of inflammatory potential had a 38% higher risk of CVD (hazard ratio comparing highest to lowest quintiles, 1.38), a 46% higher risk of coronary heart disease (HR, 1.46), and a 28% higher risk of stroke (HR, 1.28), all P for trend < .001.

Jun Li, MD, PhD, and colleagues at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Harvard Medical School Boston, Massachusetts, published the findings of their study in the November 10 issue of theJournal of the American College of Cardiology.

The inflammatory potential of a diet was assessed using a food-based, dietary index called the "empirical dietary inflammatory pattern" or EDIP.

In an interview, Li explained that the EDIP was developed 4 years ago by many of the same authors involved with this study, including nutrition heavyweights Walter C. Willett, MD, DrPH, and Frank B. Hu, MD, PhD, both from Harvard.

"We summarized all the foods people eat into 39 defined food groups and did a reduced-rank regression analysis that looked at these 39 food groups and three inflammatory markers interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP), and tumor necrosis factor alpha receptor 2. We found 18 food groups that are most predictive of these biomarkers, and the EDIP was calculated as the weighted sum of these 18 food groups."

Individuals who had higher intakes of green leafy vegetables (kale, spinach, arugula), dark yellow vegetables (pumpkin, yellow peppers, carrots), whole grains, fruits, tea, coffee and wine had lower long-term CVD risk than those with higher intakes of red meat, processed meat, organ meat, refined carbohydrates, and sweetened beverages.

The associations were consistent across cohorts and between sexes and remained significant in multiple sensitivity analysis that adjusted for alcohol consumption, smoking pack-years, use of lipid-lowering and antihypertensive medications, sodium intake, and blood pressure.

In a secondary analysis, diets with higher inflammatory potential were also associated with significantly higher biomarker levels indicative of more systemic, vascular, and metabolic inflammation, as well as less favorable lipid profiles.

"We wanted to be able to provide guidance on dietary patterns and food combinations," said Li. "If you tell people to eat more polyunsaturated fats instead of saturated fat or trans fat, most people don't know what foods are higher and lower in those nutrients. Also, many foods have different nutrients some of which are good and some of which are bad so we wanted to help people find the foods with the higher proportion of healthy nutrients rather than point out specific nutrients to avoid."

Researchers used prospectively gathered data from the Nurses' Health Studies I and II starting from 1984 and from the Health Professionals Follow-up Study. After excluding participants with missing diet information or previously diagnosed heart disease, stroke or cancer, over 210,000 participants were included in the analysis. Participants completed a survey every 4 years to ascertain dietary intake.

In an editorial comment, Ramon Estruch, MD, PhD, from the Hospital Clinic in Barcelona, Spain, and colleagues suggested that it might be time for better dietary guidelines.

"A better knowledge of health protection provided by different foods and dietary patterns, mainly their anti-inflammatory properties, should provide the basis for designing even healthier dietary patterns to protect against heart disease," the editorialists write.

They added extra-virgin olive oil, fatty fish, and tomatoes to the list of foods with "established anti-inflammatory activity."

In comments to theheart.org | Medscape Cardiology, Estruch said the findings of this new study are confirmatory of the PREDIMED trial, which showed a reduction in risk of major CV events in individuals at high cardiovascular risk assigned to an anti-inflammatory Mediterranean diet pattern supplemented with extra-virgin olive oil or nuts as compared with those assigned to a reduced-fat diet.

"The study of Jun Li et al confirms that an anti-inflammatory diet is useful to prevent cardiovascular events and, more important, that healthy dietary patterns may be even healthier if subjects increase consumption of foods with the highest anti-inflammatory potential," he said, adding that "mechanistic explanations add plausibility to the results of observational studies."

Estruch was the principal investigator of PREDIMED. This trial was originally published in 2013 and then retracted and republished in 2018, with some required corrections, but the results had not materially changed.

Li is supported by grants from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases and Boston Nutrition Obesity Research Center. Estruch has disclosed no financial relationships relevant to the contents of this article.

How to dine with dietary restrictions, allergies at Butler – The Butler Collegian

Posted: November 5, 2020 at 1:58 am

STASIA RAEBEL | STAFF REPORTER | smraebel@butler.edu

Dining with dietary restrictions and allergies can be a challenge for some Butler students. In order to ensure they will get food that is safe for their needs, these students often need to be especially careful when choosing their meals.

There are eight major allergens defined under the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004: eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, milk and soy. Many Butler students deal with these allergies, along with other dietary restrictions, such as vegetarianism, veganism and gluten intolerance. These restrictions affect their daily experiences in the dining halls, and the dining staff are prepared to help students navigate the menu if they have any concerns.

Kayla Hayes, a junior critical communications and media studies major, is allergic to peanuts, tree nuts, eggs and seafood. Her allergies are very severe, and she carries an Epipen in case she has a reaction.

Growing up with allergies, you kind of know what you can and cant have, Hayes said.

About three times a week, Hayes will see foods in the dining halls that she knows she cannot have, so she will steer clear of it. There are also menus listed on televisions throughout the dining halls. However, Hayes explained that there was a time this year where she did not read the menu and had an allergic reaction. She got what she assumed was chicken and peppers, but it was actually a chicken-peanut stir fry.

I was fine, I took Benadryl and everything, but that definitely made me more cautious, Hayes said.

The menu does not include a label indicating peanuts or tree nuts, so Hayes explained that after the meal did not sit right with her, she found the ingredients by looking in the dining section on the Butler App. There, she was able to see the name of the menu item and the nutritional value.

I kind of put two and two together, and I saw that it had peanuts in there instead of peppers, Hayes said.

She explained that she probably would not have realized that there were peanuts without looking on the app. To help prevent this in the future, Hayes said she will try to be more aware. She also suggests that a label should be put on the food in the dining hall, so people with allergies can clearly see when there is an allergen.

Butler Universitys dietician Katy Maher highly advocates for a one-on-one approach between students with either food allergies or dietary restrictions and the dining staff. In this approach, students will speak directly with staff members when ordering their food to ask about the food items contents. This ensures students will find food items they can have.

We believe a one-on-one approach is safer than attempting to label dishes with all possible allergens, Maher said. Things can get substituted at the last minute after menus are printed or posted online.

Maher said she along with Bon Apptit Management Company staff take food allergies very seriously. While the eight major allergens can be found in all dining cafs on Butler, Maher explained that they will try to clearly indicate them in the dishes in which they appear. For example, they will label mashed potatoes with butter or milk as creamy mashed potatoes on the menu, so a student with these allergies would be able to avoid it.

To provide the best experience for students, Maher suggests students identify themselves to her or another staff member to help them navigate the menu.

Since everything is cooked from scratch onsite, we can easily tell you what ingredients are in a specific dish and make modifications if necessary, or prepare and set aside food ahead if necessary, Maher said.

Students can also request specially-plated meal options to meet their needs by filling out a form, usually the day before. Additionally, in the Marketplace Cafe at Atherton, students can go to Latitude station to receive a meal prepared without any of the major 8 allergens or gluten.

If students prefer to go to the regular stations in the dining halls, they will still be able to find something they can eat.

Before each meal period, Maher said they will pull aside the people who work at the front of the house, by the food, to tell them what is included in the meals. All questions about allergies are directed to a chef or a manager to ensure students will get through the lines in a timely manner.

Dining employees have orientation and on-the-job training to get Food Allergy and Research Education, known as FARE. Maher said staff members switch out their gloves, knives and boards between each task. They also use different utensils when serving separate items to prevent cross-contamination.

If students are ever uncertain, Maher encourages them to ask questions. She said they can always make something for them, and they are always happy to answer any of the students concerns.

Tom Pieciak, a senior jazz studies major, is allergic to milk protein, which means he cannot eat milk, dairy and beef. He said he feels Bon Apptit has done a better job than the previous food provider in terms of helping students with allergies.

A new food provider was definitely a great first step [in helping students with food allergies] because they are definitely a lot more transparent with the ingredients and the allergies, Pieciak said.

Because he is allergic to something that is commonly found in many foods, Pieciak explained that there were days where the options were pretty slim for him.

When choosing a meal, Pieciak usually relied on what he knew, as there were options that hed confirmed were dairy-free. If he was uncertain, Pieciak said he would usually ask the workers, but sometimes he would not feel like taking a risk and just avoid certain foods altogether.

I think one thing that would help would be to get more alternatives to whatever that allergy or dietary preference is, Pieciak said.

There are many dairy-free options at Butler, and there are plant-based cheeses, milks and meats that are popular for vegans and vegetarians. Pieciak believes these options should be expanded in the dining halls, and they should be as available and accessible as the regular food being served.

Olivia Throop, a first-year dance arts administration major, is a vegetarian, and agrees that she would like to see more options available.

While Throop explained she is able to find enough food options that are free of meat, she sometimes worries she is not getting enough of the right kind of food, because she said there are typically just one, sometimes two, main vegetarian options.

There are many times where there wont be a protein for me, or it wont be appealing to me, Throop said. It isnt hard for me to get all the food I need, but it is hard to get all the nutrients I need.

Throop said it can also be challenging to distinguish the vegetarian options from the options with meat. Throop said that asking workers usually helps clarify this, especially if the workers asked their supervisors, however she would appreciate more clear labels.

I really do think that by providing a clear explanation of what food dishes are and what they contain will help the students at the university feel more safe with the food options they are eating, Throop said.

Refinery29

NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE OCTOBER 22: U.S. President Donald Trump (L) and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden participate in the final presidential debate at Belmont University on October 22, 2020 in Nashville, Tennessee. This is the last debate between the two candidates before the election on November 3. (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)Update: As of Election Night, many states have been called, but several critical ones are still in flux. According to FiveThirtyEight, we can expect near-complete results from Wisconsin and Michigan tomorrow. Pennsylvania, however, likely wont have a final outcome until Friday, November 6, reported The New York Times.This story was originally published on November 3, 2020 at 12:08 p.m.After saying goodbye to a couple dozen Democratic candidates (at least, it felt like that many), enduring countless Donald Trump Twitter meltdowns, and somehow surviving two Trump-Biden debates later, weve finally made it to Election Day. As this year has seen nationwide anti-racism protests, the COVID-19 pandemic, and rising poverty and unemployment rates in America, very few elections if any have felt as important as this one. In response, Americans are voting like never before. As of Sunday, a majority of states reported record early voting numbers; Texas has already officially surpassed its total turnout from 2016. But since many states are also seeing record numbers of mail-in ballots, it could take awhile for the final results to roll in. So, its no wonder that everyone is asking: When, exactly, will we know the election results?Though it is possible that we will have the results on Tuesday night, experts are warning Americans to prepare for an Election Week (or possibly even an Election Month) instead of an Election Day. But this actually isnt uncommon: In the last presidential election, for instance, it took officials in Michigan over two weeks to call Trumps victory over Hillary Clinton. And technically, even when results are called the night of Election Day, those are just projections.From a legal perspective, there are no results on Election Night, and there never have been, election law professor Edward B. Foley told The Atlantic. The only thing that has ever existed on Election Night are projected results that the media has helpfully provided to its audiences.Historically, absentee ballots have also slowed down election results. In 2012, Barack Obama was already reelected before election officials announced that he had officially beat out Mitt Romney in Florida by just 74,000 votes. Not coincidentally, several key counties in the state reported unusually high numbers of absentee ballots that year: About 28% of Floridas voters sent in their ballots by mail.However, there is some reason to think that states like Florida might be called sooner this year. The majority of the U.S. allows officials to begin sorting and counting mail-in ballots prior to Election Day, which should speed up the process, as people have been mailing in their ballots for many weeks now. That said, there are four states that will only begin processing mail-in ballots today, and some counties in one of these states Pennsylvania, a critical battleground state wont even begin counting ballots until tomorrow. Officials in Pennsylvania and Michigan also a key swing state have both warned that results could take days to report, according to the New York Times.Delayed mail-in ballots could also affect when we get results. Washington, D.C. and 22 states which, in total, comprise 59% of the Electoral College will count all mail-in ballots postmarked before or on November 3, even those that dont arrive until after Election Day. Despite the Republican Partys incessant efforts to squash it, Pennsylvanias election board implemented a three-day extension, promising to count all mail-in ballots that arrive on or before November 6. However, if the race is tight and Pennsylvanias results have a narrow enough margin, the Supreme Court might revisit or challenge the extension; in preparation, the election board agreed to separate the mail-in votes they receive after the polls close on November 3.Trumps threat to fight against the outcome if Biden wins in Pennsylvania could also complicate matters. The president logged onto Twitter to express his frustration with both the states extension and the possible delay. The Election should end on November 3rd., not weeks later! he tweeted over the weekend. Before that, he wrote, A 3 day extension for Pennsylvania is a disaster for our Nation, and for Pennsylvania itself. The Democrats are trying to steal this Election.Trump is likely afraid of what Foley dubbed the blue shift essentially, an explanation as to why Democratic votes are often counted later. Foley noted a pattern thats taken hold since 2004: Almost every election, officials have counted large swaths of Democratic votes after Election Day. He connected this trend to the Help America Vote Act, which was signed into law in 2002 and allows voters to cast provisional ballots if they believe they are eligible but dont appear on the register. By nature, provisional ballots are not counted until they are verified by officials days after the election.Voters who cast them also predominantly belong to demographics that typically vote Democrat. It is not unreasonable to expect Trumps Democratic opponent in 2020 to gain on Trump by over 20,000 votes in Pennsylvania during the period between Election Night and the final, official certification of the canvass, Foley predicted in 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic complicated matters even further.Now, its likely that mail-in votes, not just provisional ones, will cause this shift. According to an NBCLX/YouGov poll, 65% of Democrats voted by mail this year, compared to 49% of Independents and just 35% of Republicans. This makes sense, since, you know, Trump has tried to convince his voters that mail-in voting increases the risk of fraud and that mailmen are selling the ballots and dumping them in rivers. Checks out, right? (All of these claims have been disproven.)But even with provisional ballots and mail-in votes and Republican attempts to suppress the latter slowing down the process, theres still a lot well know by the end of the day. For example, North Carolinas Board of Elections predicts that 80% of votes will be released as early as 7:30 p.m. Governor Tony Evers also said that Wisconsins results will be in by Election Night or, at the latest, the next morning. And although states like Pennsylvania and Arizona might not have results until next week, theres a good reason: Officials are just ensuring every vote is counted and every voice is heard, even if it takes a little longer than usual.Like what you see? How about some more R29 goodness, right here?On Election Day, Trump Throws Insults At KamalaWhat Trump & Biden Tweeted Before The ElectionWhy Businesses Are Boarding Up Before The Election

Growth hormone injections: Uses and side effects

Posted: November 5, 2020 at 1:57 am

Hormones play a part in nearly every major body function, including growth. If the body does not produce enough, a person may need to have growth hormone injections.

Several glands in the body produce hormones, but health experts consider the pituitary to be the master control gland. Not only does it control other glands, but it also makes the hormone that triggers growth.

The pituitary gland is in the brain below the hypothalamus. It secretes hormones in response to chemical messages from the hypothalamus.

The human growth hormone (HGH) helps to influence height, as well as build bones and muscles in the body. It is crucial for processes involved in normal human growth and development.

Genetic factors can lead to a lack of growth hormone in children. Damage to the pituitary gland is a common cause of a deficiency in adults.

In this article, we look at the reasons to use HGH, the function of growth hormones, and possible side effects.

HGH is essential to growth, especially in children, but it is also involved in many other processes in the body, including bone density, muscle mass, and mood.

Different hormones control various body functions and processes, including growth and development, metabolism, sexual function and reproduction, and mood.

It helps process protein and increases fat breakdown to help provide the energy needed for tissue growth.

Growth hormone levels can change through the day, and physical activity plays a part.

Exercise and similar activities can cause the levels to rise naturally. Sleep, stress, and low blood sugar levels also increase growth hormone levels.

Even small changes in HGH levels affect the body.

Too little or too much growth hormone can cause significant growth problems. Too little HGH is one of the main causes of short stature and conditions such as dwarfism.

Some people use HGH because they believe it will build muscle, improve performance, or slow aging. However, the existing evidence does not support the use of HGH for these purposes.

Children with low levels of lack of growth hormone may or may not be smaller at birth. Growth problems may appear in time, for example, if they are smaller than their classmates and growing less than 2 inches a year.

Some children are unable to produce growth hormone when they are born and continue to have low levels throughout their life.

Symptoms of growth hormone deficiency in children are:

In some children, a lack of growth hormone is part of a genetic condition, but sometimes the cause of the deficiency is unknown.

In adults, a lack of growth hormone is often due to damage to the pituitary gland, which may be permanent. The damage could have occurred in childhood or adulthood.

Other causes include:

Problems in the pituitary with producing growth hormone are commonly due to a pituitary tumor.

The pituitary can be damaged by the tumor itself or by treatment such as surgery and radiotherapy.

In adults, a lack of HGH can cause a number of different problems including:

Growth hormone deficiency can also be a combination of one or more hormone deficiencies.

Some medical conditions may also benefit HGH treatment.

These include:

The most common treatment in both adults and children is growth hormone therapy using lab-developed HGH injections.

Doses occur several times per week or on a daily basis depending on how severe the deficiency is.Manufacturers designed the growth hormone to mimic the behavior of natural growth hormone in the body. It will be prescribed by a doctor.

HGH treatments can be self-administered or given by a doctor. Treatments are often given for several years. Patients will see their doctor every month or so to check their condition.

Blood tests will be carried out to see if extra growth hormone is needed and if treatments should be increased, decreased, or stopped. Cholesterol levels, blood sugar levels, and bone density will also be checked to see if they are healthy.

Taking growth hormone can affect the bodys response to insulin, which controls blood sugar levels. Growth hormone deficiency can also lead to high cholesterol and brittle bones if it is not treated.

Specific treatment for growth hormone deficiency depends on the person.

Doctors base this treatment on certain factors, such as:

The earlier the lack of growth hormone is treated in children, the better chance they have to grow to a near normal adult height.

Children can gain as many as 4 inches or more over the first 3 years of treatment. Another 3 inches or more can grow during the next 2 years.

Many adults have to take HGH treatment for the remainder of their life.

Anyone taking HGH will undergo regular monitoring to assess the safety and effectiveness of the hormone.

The goal of growth hormone treatments in adults and children is to restore energy, metabolism, and enhance body development or shape. It can help to reduce total body fat, especially around the belly.

HGH injections can also help to improve strength and exercise tolerance and reduce the risk of heart disease in those who lack growth hormone.

Many people experience an increase in overall quality of life.

Most people tolerate HGH injection treatments well with few problems.

However, possible side effects include:

Those who experience these symptoms or other problems should talk to their doctor. They can change the dose if necessary to help remedy the symptoms.

HGH injections are not recommended for people who have:

HGH can affect insulin usage in the body, so people with diabetes should monitor their blood sugar levels carefully.

Other treatments may be required depending on the cause of the HGH deficiency.

Surgery or radiation may be necessary to treat a tumor in the pituitary. Pituitary hormones may also have to be taken to correct a gland that is not working properly.

If the levels of HGH are too high in adults, they may experience:

Long-term use of HGH injections can cause a condition called acromegaly.

Adults cannot grow taller by using the synthetic growth hormone. High doses will thicken the persons bones instead of lengthening them.

People with acromegaly will experience an overgrowth of bones, particularly in the hands, feet, and face.

The skin area can also be affected and may turn thick, coarse, and hairy. The excess HGH levels can also lead to high blood pressure and heart disease.

HGH injections have also become popular for nonmedical usage. Bodybuildersgro and athletes sometimes use them in an effort to get larger muscles, more energy, and increased stamina.

They are considered performance-enhancing drugs and are banned in professional sports.

HGH injections are also advertised as an anti-aging or weight loss treatment.

Many people aim to help increase their energy as well as fight the decrease in muscle and bone mass that happens with aging.

The Endocrine Society do not recommend HGH injections for adults or children unless they have a growth hormone deficiency.

Not enough evidence is available to prove that HGH injections can slow down the aging process, and studies show it does not improve athletic performance. Adverse effects often occur, especially fluid retention.

Using them for any nonmedical reason is illegal in the United States.

HGH injections are designed for adults or children who have a lack of growth hormone and should only be prescribed by a doctor.

Children and adults with low levels of growth hormone should ensure they have plenty of sleep, a balanced diet, regular exercise, and that they follow medical advice.

People seem interested in using HGH to have a more athletic body, to perform better in sports and to prevent aging. Is this a good idea?

HGH is a potent drug that can cause significant side effects. A person therefore needs to weigh up the benefits and risks. Do the potential benefits outweigh the risks?

For those without HGH deficiency, the answer is no. Very few data support the idea that HGH helps people with normal levels.

It may improve lean body mass in athletes and older adults but does not seem to improve strength or performance.

It also does not improve risk factors for chronic diseases, such as diabetes or heart disease. No reliable evidence confirms that it can prevent aging.
