Abstract
Purpose Artificially sweetened and sugar-sweetened beverage consumptions have both been reported to be associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) risk. The aim of the current study was to investigate the potential underlying associations with dynamic pancreatic β-cell function (BCF) and insulin sensitivity. Methods We evaluated cross-sectional associations in 2240 individuals (mean ± SD age 59.6 ± 8.18, 49.4% male, 21.9% T2D) participating in a diabetes-enriched population-based cohort. Artificially sweetened and sugar-sweetened soft drinks and juice consumption were assessed by a food-frequency questionnaire. Glucose metabolism status, insulin sensitivity, and BCF were measured by a seven-point oral glucose tolerance test. Regression analyses were performed to assess associations of artificially and sugar-sweetened beverage consumption with measures of glucose homeostasis. Associations were adjusted for potential confounders, and additionally with and without total energy intake and BMI, as these variables could be mediators. Results Moderate consumption of artificially sweetened soft drink was associated with lower β-cell glucose sensitivity [standardized beta (95% CI), − 0.06 (− 0.11, − 0.02)], total insulin secretion [β − 0.06 (− 0.10, − 0.02)], and with lower β-cell rate sensitivity [odds ratio (95% CI), 1.29 (1.03, 1.62)] compared to abstainers. Daily artificially sweetened soft drink consumption was associated with lower β-cell glucose sensitivity [β − 0.05 (− 0.09, 0.00)], and total insulin secretion [β − 0.05 − 0.09, − 0.01)] compared to abstainers. Conclusions Moderate and daily consumption of artificially sweetened soft drinks was associated with lower BCF, but not with insulin sensitivity. No evidence was found for associations of sugar-sweetened soft drink and juice consumption with BCF or insulin sensitivity in this middle-aged population. Prospective studies are warranted to further investigate the associations of artificially and sugar-sweetened beverage consumption with non-fasting insulin sensitivity and multiple BCF aspects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Elderly with functional disabilities are at increased risk of inadequate dietary intake. Little is known about the effectiveness of interventions aimed at improving their dietary intake and nutritional status, nor about the determinants of successful implementation. We performed a feasibility study to evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of a home delivery service providing nutritious meals. DESIGN Quasi-experimental, with participants allocated to treatment group based on municipality of residence. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Functionally disabled home-dwelling elderly receiving home care. INTERVENTION Three-month daily meal service consisting of dinner and snacks (intervention). The control group sustained habitual food intake. MEASUREMENTS Data on satisfaction and problems regarding the meal service were collected by structured interviews. Dietary intake (2-day estimated food diary), nutritional status (anthropometry), handgrip strength, and quality of life (questionnaire-based) was measured at baseline, three months (end of intervention), and six months (follow-up). RESULTS Forty-four elderly were included (intervention group: 25, control group: 19). For most aspects of the meal service, approximately 90% of participants indicated being satisfied, and the large majority (70%) was interested in receiving a similar meal service in the future. At the end of the 3-month intervention, the intervention group showed a greater increase than the control group in body weight (P< 0.005), body mass index (P< 0.005), upper leg circumference (P< 0.01) and fat free mass (FFM, P< 0.03). Three months post-intervention, only the increase in FFM remained statistically significant (P< 0.05). Except for calcium intake, no positive intervention effect was observed for any of the other outcomes. CONCLUSION Our study stresses the feasibility as well as the potential of healthy and tasteful meals to support home-dwelling elderly, by showing that a high-quality meal service was highly appreciated and had a rapid effect on FFM.

Abstract
CONTEXT One potential agent to improve symptoms and quality of life (QoL) in advanced cancer patients is adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP). Several reports suggest that ATP may positively affect QoL and survival in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer. OBJECTIVES To investigate the effects of ATP infusions on QoL parameters in patients with preterminal cancer of mixed tumor types. METHODS Ninety-nine preterminal cancer patients were randomly allocated to receive either ATP intravenously weekly (8-10 hours/week, with maximum 50 μg/kg.minute) for eight weeks or receive no ATP (control group). QoL parameters were assessed until eight weeks and analyzed by repeated-measures analysis of covariance. RESULTS Fifty-one patients were randomized to the ATP group and 48 to the control group. Unexpectedly, in the untreated control group, most of the outcome parameters did not deteriorate but remained stable or even significantly improved over time. Between the ATP and control groups, no statistically significant differences were observed for the large majority of outcome parameters, except for the strength of elbow flexor muscles in favor of the control group. CONCLUSION ATP infusions, at the dose and schedule studied, did not have a significant effect on QoL, functional status, or fatigue in preterminal cancer patients of mixed tumor types.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To validate an integrated food-frequency questionnaire (FFQ) developed to assess habitual food intake of Flemish and Italian-native subjects in Belgium as part of the European Collaborative Dietary Habit Profile in European Communities With Different Risk of Myocardial Infarction: the Impact of Migration as a Model of Gene/Environment Interaction (IMMIDIET Project). METHODS The semiquantitative FFQ contained 322 items on food and food preparation. FFQs filled by a sample (n = 70) of the Flemish-Flemish and Flemish-Italian IMMIDIET subpopulations were randomly selected. Five 24-h recalls, administered over a period of 1 y by the same sample, served for validation. Energy and macronutrients were calculated using the Dutch NEVO and the Belgian NUBEL food composition tables. Intakes of energy and macronutrients estimated by the FFQ and repeated 24-h recall, respectively, were compared by means of correlation coefficients, classification into quartiles, and Bland-Altman plotting. RESULTS The FFQ overestimated intake of energy and most macronutrients by 40-70%. This overestimation largely disappeared when values were expressed as energy percentage. Correlations ranked from 0.40 to 0.60 for energy and most macronutrients (median 0.53); correlations were lower (null to 0.41) for fat and higher (up to 0.90) for alcohol. Classification in quartiles of intake showed good agreement: 83% were classified in the same or adjacent quartile of energy, and 66-90% for macronutrients. Correlations and classification of macronutrient intake into quartiles remained similar when macronutrients were expressed as energy percentage. Stratification according to ethnic subgroup, age, body mass index, or social status showed no differences. CONCLUSION The IMMIDIET FFQ is a valuable tool for studies of the role of energy and macronutrients in disease etiology or outcome, but less suitable for estimating absolute intake levels.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of a nutritional supplement containing vitamin E, selenium, vitamin C and coenzyme Q10 on changes in serum levels of PSA in patients with hormonally untreated carcinoma of the prostate and rising serum PSA levels. METHODS Eighty patients were randomised to receive a daily supplement with either vitamin E, selenium, vitamin C, coenzyme Q10 (intervention group) or placebo over 21 weeks. Serum levels of PSA were assessed at baseline (-2, -1, 0 weeks) and after 6, 13, 19, 20 and 21 weeks. Mean changes in log serum level of PSA, testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, luteinizing hormone and sex hormone binding globulin over 21 weeks between the verum and the placebo group were compared by analysis of covariance. RESULTS Seventy patients completed the study (36 verum; 34 placebo). Compliance was >90% in all patients. In the intervention group, plasma levels of vitamin E, selenium and coenzyme Q10 increased significantly over the 21 weeks study period. No significant differences in serum levels of PSA, testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, luteinizing hormone or sex hormone binding globulin (p>0.2) were observed between the intervention and control group. CONCLUSION Our results indicate that supplementation of a combination of vitamin E, selenium, vitamin C and coenzyme-Q10 does not affect serum level of PSA or hormone levels in patients with hormonally untreated carcinoma of the prostate.
