State of nutrition amongst US college students: dataset of a national survey study.

OBJECTIVE: This article presents the dataset titled "Nutrition habits amongst college students in the United States. [1]" The dataset contains the survey responses of 200 US college students aged 18-24 years regarding their knowledge, attitudes, and challenges with regard to nutrition. The recommended USDA (US daily allowance) is 200 calories, comprised of 2 cups fruits, 2.5 cups vegetables, 5.5 ounces of protein, 6 ounces of grains, and 3 cups of dairy [2]. Adhering to these nutritional guidelines however can be complicated by rising tuition prices, food insecurity, and inability to make one's own food. DATA DESCRIPTION: The data in the dataset attempt to estimate the incidence of these barriers. These data could be useful to understand the barriers to healthy eating amongst young adults, and design targeted solutions.

Sclerosing Mesenteritis Managed Conservatively With Prednisone.

The authors present the case of a middle-aged lady with two weeks of abdominal pain. Computed tomography imaging revealed sclerosing mesenteritis. Sclerosing mesenteritis is also known as mesenteric panniculitis and is a chronic fibrosing inflammatory disease that primarily affects the adipose tissue of the mesentery in the small intestine and colon. The clinical presentation, imaging findings, differential diagnosis, and therapeutic management are presented in this report. In our patient's case, she was able to be managed conservatively, without the need for surgery. This reflects the most benign and self-limiting natural history of the disease.
