Systems and methods determine personalized recommended daily intake, for example, the recommended daily allowance (RDA) for nutrients based on genetic information of the individual. In several embodiments, the systems and methods can be used to determine recommendations for specific nutrient supplements, foods, beverages, meals, menus, diets and recipes for an individual which are more accurately adapted to their needs based on their personal genetic risk scores. A particularly preferred method calculates a polygenic risk score of the individual for the nutrient, based on the SNP genotype profile of the individual; classifies the individual in a corresponding genetic risk group of a plurality of genetic risk groups based on the polygenic risk score of the individual, wherein each of the plurality of genetic risk groups is associated with a different daily dose of the nutrient necessary to reach a sufficient blood level of the nutrient for subjects in the genetic risk group (wherein the daily dose for each group is preferably calculated by an intake need estimate algorithm, such as a dose-response algorithm); and identifies to the individual the daily dose of the nutrient for the corresponding genetic risk group, as the personalised recommended daily intake of the nutrient for the individual.

Compositions and methods diagnose and/or treat chronic kidney disease (CKD) using one or more feline circulating proteins as markers for early-stage CKD. A method of diagnosing chronic kidney disease (CKD) in a feline can include measuring an amount of each of at least one circulating protein from the feline. The at least one circulating protein is one or more of adiponectin (ADIPOQ), cathelicidin (CAMP), kinesin-like protein (KIF12), plasma retinol-binding protein (RBP4), Ig-like domain-containing protein (ZKSCAN1), coagulation factor X (F10), fibronectin (FN1) and mixtures thereof. The method also includes performing comparison of the amount of each of the at least one circulating protein from the feline to a corresponding predetermined value or a corresponding predetermined range. The method also includes diagnosing the feline as having early-stage CKD or not having early-stage CKD, based on the comparison.

The invention relates to a foldable measuring spoon (1) to be formed by folding a flat sheet (10) of a predetermined shape into a folded state. The spoon (1) comprises a head (2) and a handle (3). The sheet (10) comprises a plurality of sections (4, 5) being consecutively arranged in a row. These sections (4, 5) comprise two handle sections (4) being arranged at two opposite ends of the row, and a plurality of side wall sections (5; 5', 5'') being consecutively arranged in the row between the two handle sections (4) along an arc (A) to define a circumferentially closed side wall (50) delimiting the volume (V) when the sheet (10) is folded to form the measuring spoon (1). Each side wall section (5; 5', 5'') is directly connected to each of the two adjacent sections (4, 5) in the row by a folding line (6), respectively, so that each handle section (4) is directly connected only to one other of the two side wall sections (5; 5') being outermost in the row by one of the folding lines (6), and the one or more side wall section(s) (5; 5'') being arranged in the row between the two outermost side wall sections (5; 5') are each directly connected to each of the two adjacent side wall sections (5) by one of the folding lines (6), respectively. Each side wall section (5) preferably shares with the respective adjacent one of the sections (4, 5) in the row exactly two of the folding lines (6) being positioned at opposite ends of the respective side wall section (5) with respect to an extension direction of the arc (A). The sheet (10) is designed such that, when the handle sections (4) are folded to lie flat on each other to form the handle (3), the side wall sections (5) are folded about the folding lines (6) to form the circumferentially closed side wall (50) of the head (2).
