Something fishy about homecooked infant feeding recipes

Acknowledgments The authors would like to thank the statistical team within the Division of Applied Health Sciences at the University of Aberdeen for their support in analysing the data. This work was supported by The Scottish Government’s Rural and Environment Science and Analytical Services (RESAS) division (LC grant). Substantial contributions to the conception or design of the work; analysis, and interpretation of data for the work were conducted by Sharon Carstairs (SC) under the supervision of Dr K Kiezebrink (KK), Dr D Marais (DM) and Dr L Craig (LC). Data collection was conducted by SC and a 10% duplicate data extraction by DM. Financial Support This work was funded by The Seafish Authority and Interface Food and Drink as part of a Doctorate Scholarship undertaken at the University of Aberdeen (grant number HS053 RBZ0214).

A comparison of preprepared commercial infant feeding meals with home-cooked recipes

Sources of funding: This study was funded by the Seafish Authority and Interface Food and Drink Scotland as part of a PhD scholarship for SC.

Bone morphology of the femur and tibia captured by statistical shape modelling predicts rapid bone loss in acute spinal cord injury patients

We would like to thank the study participants and the clinical and research staff at the Queen Elizabeth National Spinal Injury Unit, as without them this study would not have been possible. We are grateful for the funding received from Glasgow Research Partnership in Engineering for the employment of SC during data collection for this study. We would like to thank the Royal Society of Edinburgh's Scottish Crucible scheme for providing the opportunity for this collaboration to occur. We are also indebted to Maria Dumitrascuta for her time and effort in producing inter-repeatability results for the shape models.
