0001). However, the percentage increase in minority residents from 2008 to 2017 was only 4.9% (35.1% to 40%). CONCLUSION Women and minority racial and ethnic groups continue to be underrepresented among Oto-HNS applicants. However, the presence of these groups among current residents has increased. Understanding and tracking these national trends yearly is critical for training a diverse future otolaryngology workforce. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE VI Laryngoscope, 2020. © 2020 The American Laryngological, Rhinological and Otological Society, Inc.Hengshan goat meat produced exclusively in Shaanxi province of China is the product of national geographical indication. In current study, nutritional and safety indexes of Hengshan goat leg meat were investigated and the quality changes induced by seven commonly used processing methods were systematically evaluated. Comparing with control, meats treated with thermal processing demonstrated decreased redness, enhanced texture properties, increased protein, fat and mineral contents, as well as sharply raised fatty acids. Amino acid contents in pan-fried, deep-fried, and roasted samples were reduced with the most obvious valine scores declined 15%, 13%, and 21%, respectively. Also, thermal treatments conducted in smoke exposure circumstances caused mass formation of nitrite and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), evidenced by the 5.8-fold, 3.3-fold, and 3.8-fold increments of nitrite contents in pan-fried, deep-fried, and roasted meats, respectively, and the appearance of six extra PAHs. Steaming, boiling, and braising were proved to be suitable processing methods for preserving better nutritional values while delivering less carcinogenic hazard. Our results established nutritional database for Hengshan goat leg meat and provide reference for choosing its reasonable thermal processing pattern. PRACTICAL APPLICATION Processed meats showed decreased redness, enhanced texture properties, increased protein, fat and mineral contents, as well as sharply raised fatty acids compared with those of raw meat. Steaming, boiling, and braising delivered more balanced nutrition and less carcinogens in contrast to meats processed with other methods. Frying and roasting caused low amino acid levels and formed mass nitrite and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in meats. Our results established nutritional database for Hengshan goat leg meat and provide reference for its reasonable thermal processing. © 2020 Institute of Food Technologists®.Delphinidin-3-rutinoside, a high-value of anthocyanin, was isolated and purified by ionic liquid (IL)-modified countercurrent chromatography (CCC) from waste peel of eggplant (Solanum melongena), one of the most common vegetables consumed all around the world. Different conventional CCC and IL-CCC solvent systems were evaluated in respect of partition coefficient (K), separation factor (α), and stationary phase retention factor (Sf ) to separate polar target and other components. Basic solvent system, kind of ILs, and amount of ILs were systematically optimized by totally K-targeted strategy, which drastically reduced the experimental effort.  https://www.selleckchem.com/products/pixantrone-maleate.html  Finally, a novel CCC two-phase solvent system (methyl tert-butyl ether-butanol-acetonitrile-1% trifluoroacetic acid water-1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([C4 MIM][PF6 ]) [24150.2; v/v/v/v/v]) was successfully established and applied. The baseline separation of target fraction was obtained in one cycle process. The purity of delphinidin-3-rutinoside was over 99%. Moreover, the distribution behavior of different kinds of ILs in biphasic solvent system and the removal method of ILs were explored. The results showed that hydrophobic IL significantly improved the partition of polar anthocyanin in organic solvent system, thereby the separation resolution and stationary phase retention through introducing intermolecular forces. This IL-modified CCC strategy may be applied for the separation of other anthocyanins from variety of natural food resources and waste. © 2020 Institute of Food Technologists®.in English, Spanish La sobrexplotación de los recursos terrestres y marinos puede ser mitigada promoviendo una configuración alternativa de los medios de vida, particularmente en las comunidades rurales de los países en desarrollo. Las ocupaciones típicas en dichas áreas incluyen la pesca y la agricultura, y los hogares rurales comúnmente alternan entre estas actividades de sustento para ajustarse a las condiciones climáticas y económicas. Usamos una herramienta de aprendizaje automático, redes de creencia profunda (RCP) y datos tomados de censos aplicados a una comunidad rural costera en las Filipinas para examinar el deseo de cada hogar por cambiar su medio de vida. Este deseo se ve afectado por una variedad de factores, como el nivel de ingreso, las necesidades familiares y la sensación de satisfacción laboral, que están interrelacionados de maneras complejas. En los hogares agricultores, los cambios en el medio de vida ocurren con frecuencia para diversificar los recursos, aumentar el ingreso y disminuir la pesca, el suministro de incentivos económicos y de otros tipos debería considerarse para promover el cambio de esta ocupación y así permitir la recuperación de los recursos pesqueros. Uso de Redes de Creencia Profunda para Entender la Predisposición por el Cambio en el Medio de Vida en una Comunidad Rural Costera para Promover la Conservación.AIM Complications of gestational diabetes (GDM) can be mitigated if the diagnosis is recognized. However, some at-risk women do not complete antenatal diagnostic oral glucose tolerance testing (OGTT). We aimed to understand reasons contributing to non-completion, particularly to identify modifiable factors. METHODS Some 1906 women attending a tertiary UK obstetrics centre (2018-2019) were invited for OGTT based on risk-factor assessment. Demographic information, test results and reasons for non-completion were collected from the medical record. Logistic regression was used to analyse factors associated with non-completion. RESULTS Some 242 women (12.3%) did not complete at least one OGTT, of whom 32.2% (n = 78) never completed testing. In adjusted analysis, any non-completion was associated with younger maternal age [≤ 30 years; odds ratio (OR) 2.3, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.6-3.4; P  less then  0.001], Black African ethnicity (OR 2.7, 95% CI 1.2-5.5; P = 0.011), lower socio-economic status (OR 0.9, 95% CI 0.
