Article Synopsis
- Sugar beet is a major source of sugar, but bacterial growth during storage reduces sucrose yield, prompting a study to identify these bacteria and find antibacterial agents from plant extracts and oils.
- Researchers identified common mesophilic and thermophilic bacteria present during sugar beet manufacturing and tested 20 plant extracts and 13 oils for their antibacterial properties.
- The most effective extracts and oils demonstrated substantial inhibition of bacterial growth, with specific bioactive compounds identified, suggesting that using these natural antibacterial agents could help maintain sucrose levels during sugar production.
Physical modeling of precipitation at fine (sub-kilometer) spatial scales is computationally very expensive. This study develops a highly efficient framework for this task by coupling deep learning (DL) and physical modeling. This framework is developed and tested using regional climate simulations performed over a domain covering Montreal and adjoining regions, for the summers of 2015-2020, at 2.

- Employment is linked to improved physical and mental health, but its role in outcomes after a heart attack (myocardial infarction) is not well understood.
- A study of over 16,000 Danish patients showed that those not in the workforce had higher rates of death (12.8% vs. 3.3%) and recurrent heart attacks (10.9% vs. 7.5%) five years after their first MI.
- The findings suggest that being unemployed is a significant risk factor for poorer long-term health outcomes after a heart attack among working-age individuals.
Vicia faba L. (faba bean) is a legume cultivated worldwide which commonly establishes effective symbiosis with the symbiovar viciae of species from the Rhizobium leguminosarum phylogenetic group. However, on the basis of the rrs, recA, and atpD gene phylogenies, in this work we identified a strain named EFBRI 42 nodulating V.

However, data on the long-term risk of incident heart failure and other adverse cardiovascular outcomes among patients diagnosed with cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) are limited.
Methods: In this cohort study, all patients ≥ 18 years with newly diagnosed CLE between 1996 and 2018 were identified through Danish nationwide registries and matched 1:4 by age, sex, and comorbidity with individuals without CLE.
