The effects of berry polyphenols on the gut microbiota and blood pressure: A systematic review of randomized clinical trials in humans
No full textBerry consumption has beneficial effects on blood pressure. Intestinal microbiota transform berry phytochemicals into more bioactive forms. Thus, we performed a systematic review of randomized clinical trials to determine whether berry polyphenols in foods, extracts or supplements have effects on both the profile of gut microbiota and systolic and diastolic blood pressure in humans. PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and CAB Abstracts (EBSCOhost) were searched for randomized clinical trials in humans published from 1 January 2011 to 29 October 2021. Search results were imported into Covidence for screening and data extraction by two blinded reviewers, who also performed bias assessment independently. The literature search identified 216 publications; after duplicates were removed, 168 publications were screened with 12 full-text publications assessed for eligibility. Ultimately three randomized clinical trials in humans met the eligibility criteria. One randomized clinical trial showed a low risk of bias while the other two randomized clinical trials included low, high or unclear risk of bias. Together the randomized clinical trials showed that berry consumption (Aronia berry, strawberries, raspberries, cloudberries and bilberries) for 8–12 weeks had no significant effect on both blood pressure and the gut microbiota. More randomized clinical trials are needed to determine the effects of berry consumption on the profile of gut microbiota and blood pressure in humans
Sex Addiction: the Chicken-and-Egg Dilemma of Diagnosis
No full textIn May 2013, the American Psychiatric Association will release the next version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V). Interestingly, sex addiction, despite significant attention from mainstream media, will be omitted from the manual. This omission presents a challenge to clinicians who treat sex addiction, and researchers aiming to further our understanding of the issue. This commentary outlines some of the reasons sex addiction was not included in the DSM-V, including a ‘chicken-and-egg’ conundrum, which makes it difficult to generate research without a clear diagnosis, and difficult to establish a definitive diagnosis without a supportive body of research
Breathing New Life into Warren Studies: A Project in Secondary Education
No full textIn his introduction to this pedagogy project, Wes Berry ponders how teaching Robert Penn Warren’s work in high schools could help to promote Warren’s overall literary status. The following essays outline efforts to teach Warren’s fiction in two Kentucky high schools. In spring 2007, Angela Sloan taught Warren’s All the King’s Men and The Cave to A.P. English students using a comparative, intertextual approach. She details the successes of her class and includes students’ responses to their study of Warren. Furthermore, Kristina Rice presents creative approaches to making Warren’s stories accessible to high school students, including comparative thematic studies that draw on popular songs and film
Bertice Berry, Ph.D. - Best-selling Author and Entertainer
No full textNO ONE DEFIES STEREOTYPES, generalizations, or clichés more than Dr. Bertice Berry. Growing up poor in Wilmington, Delaware, Berry was told by a high school teacher that she was “not college material.” Fortunately, there was another teacher who believed in her, and Berry applied to several schools without any idea how she would pay her tuition. The day her application arrived at Jacksonville University in Florida, a wealthy benefactor called the Admissions Department looking for a student “who could swim if they had the right backing,” and might sink without it.
Berry graduated magna cum laude from Jacksonville, and subsequently earned a Ph.D. in sociology from Kent State University at age 26. She became one of Kent State’s most popular teachers by using humor to address such difficult subjects as racism and sexism. Upon leaving academia, she became an award-winning entertainer, lecturer, comedian, and television host, creating a niche as both a gifted speaker with a comic edge and a comic with a serious message.
Dr. Berry is the best-selling author of the inspirational memoir I’m On My Way, But Your Foot Is On My Head. Her first work of fiction, Redemption Song, was also a bestseller. Her other works include Jim & Louella’s Homemade Heart-Fix Remedy, and When Love Calls, You Better Answer. She has graciously donated all of the royalties from the sales of her books to organizations that help families in transition, raise funds for scholarships, and provide resource information to low-income families.https://corescholar.libraries.wright.edu/archives_presidential_lecture_series/1047/thumbnail.jp

Study of the terpene profile at harvest and during berry development of Vitis vinifera L. aromatic varieties Aleatico, Brachetto, Malvasia di Candia aromatica and Moscato bianco
No full textBackground: In this work, we evaluated the aromatic composition of berries at harvest and during the whole berry development of Aleatico, Brachetto, Malvasia di Candia aromatica and Moscato bianco grapevine varieties, which were cultivated in the same vineyard and under the same agricultural conditions. Results: Malvasia had a total concentration of aroma which was significantly higher than the other grapes that showed comparable amounts with each other. The class of monoterpenes was quantitatively predominant for all four grapes, in the free and in the most plentiful bound form. In Malvasia and Aleatico there was a high prevalence of geraniol derivatives throughout the entire berry development while in Brachetto and in Moscato there was a prevalence of linalool derivatives during the green phase and geraniol derivatives during ripening. Conclusion: The study of the monoterpene profile allowed us to highlight similarities and differences among the four aromatic varieties and to present a hypothesis about their biosynthetic dynamics. This information is useful for further studies on gene functional characterisation and the regulation of these important berry pathways
