How Can We Engage Oncology Care Providers and Glioblastoma Patients in Conversations About Physical Activity: A Qualitative Descriptive Study Using the Theoretical Domains Framewor... by Jodi E. Langley, Grace Warner, Christine Cassidy, Robin Urquhart, Mary MacNeil, Melanie R. Keats

“…The data were then analyzed using a directed content analysis using a codebook generated using the TDF. Patients and family/friend caregivers appreciated hearing about PA from their OCPs, from initial diagnosis into follow-up appointments, and they saw PA as a way to take a break from cancer/medically focused care, and historical PA behaviours did not mean patients were more or less likely to be open about PA discussions. …”

Effect of Steam Explosion Pretreatment on Nutritional and Antioxidant Properties of Rapeseed Oil by HUANG Ying, ZHENG Chang, ZHOU Qi, LIU Changsheng, LI Wenlin

“…As the explosion pressure increased, the moisture content gradually declined from 42.17% to 92.24%, and the oil yield initially increased and then decreased, and the contents of oleic acid, linoleic acid, and α-linolenic acid significantly changed. The energy generated during steam explosion pretreatment could effectively destroy active substance complexes, resulting in the release of more free polyphenols, so that the average content of total phenols in the treatment group was increased by 9.56 folds on average when compared with the control group. …”
