Mitigating salinity stress on tomato growth, water regime, gas exchange, and yield with the application of QuitoMax.

This study assessed the intensity of salt stress in the two tomato varieties by measuring variables associated with the water regime, chlorophyll content, normalized difference vegetation index, gas exchange, and yield. The cultivars Amalia and Claudia, which represent tolerance and susceptibility to salinity, were evaluated. Three treatments were established in plastic pots, using a completely randomized design: T1, saline soil (ECse = 6.

Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections in Older Adults Requiring Hospitalization in an Internal Medicine Ward.

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common cause of recurrent infections, especially among young women, but also in patients with infections related to the insertion of urological devices. The aim of this study was to determine the recurrent UTI readmission rate among older patients and the risk factors for recurrent UTI in a prospective cohort of patients admitted to the hospital with community-acquired UTI. We assessed the frequency of recurrent UTIs over a one-year follow-up period after discharge and compared the clinical and epidemiological characteristics between cases with and without recurrences.

C3 glomerulopathy in children: a European longitudinal study evaluating outcome.

Background: C3 glomerulopathy is a rare clinical entity characterized by dysregulation of the alternative complement pathway in glomerular disease. Studies defining the natural history of C3G in the pediatric population are scarce.

Methods: Patients included in this retrospective study were diagnosed between 2011 and 2020 in 12 European pediatric nephrology units.

Postexercise Dietary Leucine Retention for Whole-Body Anabolism Is Greater With Whey Protein Isolate and Fish-Derived Protein Hydrolysate Than Nonessential Amino Acids in Trained Young Men.

Marine-derived proteins, such as blue whiting-derived protein hydrolysates (BWPH), represent high-quality sources of dietary protein, but their ability to support postexercise anabolism is not established. The impact of BWPH on whole-body anabolism was compared with an isonitrogenous whey protein isolate (WPI) and nonessential amino acid (NEAA) control in 10 trained young males (31 ± 4 years) who, on three separate visits, performed a session of whole-body resistance exercise and then consumed, in randomized crossover fashion, BWPH, WPI, or NEAA (0.33 g/kg; 19, 33, and 0 mg/kg leucine, respectively) with L-[1-13C]leucine.

Biopolymers as Sustainable and Active Packaging Materials: Fundamentals and Mechanisms of Antifungal Activities.

Developing bio-based and biodegradable materials has become important to meet current market demands, government regulations, and environmental concerns. The packaging industry, particularly for food and beverages, is known to be the world's largest consumer of plastics. Therefore, the demand for sustainable alternatives in this area is needed to meet the industry's requirements.

Nutritional Support Reduces Circulating Cytokines in Patients with Heart Failure.

Increased inflammation is associated with the pathogenesis of heart failure (HF). Increased circulating levels of cytokines have been previously reported and generally associated with worse clinical outcomes. In this context, the modulation of inflammation-related parameters seems to be a reasonable therapeutic option for improving the clinical course of the disease.

Effects of guaranteed basic income interventions on poverty-related outcomes in high-income countries: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: High-income countries offer social assistance (welfare) programs to help alleviate poverty for people with little or no income. These programs have become increasingly conditional and stringent in recent decades based on the premise that transitioning people from government support to paid work will improve their circumstances. However, many people end up with low-paying and precarious jobs that may cause more poverty because they lose benefits such as housing subsidies and health and dental insurance, while incurring job-related expenses.

Spatio-temporal dynamics and drivers of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 in Chile.

Taxonomic identity of the strains used to produce food enzymes evaluated in published EFSA opinions.

, a species known to produce the antimicrobial bacitracin, could be misidentified as , depending on the identification method used. For this reason, the European Commission requested EFSA to review the taxonomic identification of formerly assessed production strains. Following this request, EFSA retrieved the raw data from 27 technical dossiers submitted and found that the taxonomic identification was established by 16S rRNA gene analyses for 15 strains and by whole genome sequence analysis for 12 strains.

Catheter Ablation of Idiopathic Epicardial Outflow Tract Premature Ventricular Contractions: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

The epicardial outflow tract can be a site of origin of idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias. These arrhythmias are most commonly perivalvular and can be targeted from within the coronary venous system or from other adjacent structures, such as the right ventricular and left ventricular outflow tracts or the coronary cusp region. The authors report a case of an epicardial idiopathic outflow tract premature ventricular contraction originating from the midseptal epicardial left ventricle.
