Impact of Age and Sex Interaction on Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID-19: An Italian Cohort Study on Adults and Children.

Identifying factors predisposing individuals to post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) would allow for the timely treatment of those vulnerable. Attention on the role of sex and age is growing, but published studies have shown mixed results. Our objective was to estimate the effect modification of age on sex as a risk factor for PASC.

An intramolecularly self-templated synthesis of macrocycles: self-filling effects on the formation of prismarenes.

Ethyl- and propyl-prism[6]arenes are obtained in high yields and in short reaction times, independent of the nature and size of the solvent, in the cyclization of 2,6-dialkoxynaphthalene with paraformaldehyde. or adopt, both in solution and in the solid state, a folded cuboid-shaped conformation, in which four inward oriented alkyl chains fill the cavity of the macrocycle. On these bases, we proposed that the cyclization of or occurs through an intramolecular thermodynamic self-templating effect.

Effect of biofumigation with brassica pellets combined with Brassicaceae cover crops and plastic cover on the survival and infectivity of inoculum of Phytophthora nicotianae Breda de Haan.

Background: Biofumigation with defatted seed meal of Brassicaceae in the form of pellets has several advantages over the incorporation of fresh Brassicaceae crops to control soil-borne diseases. Two field experiments were established to evaluate the effect of biofumigation with brassica pellets on the survival and infectivity of Phytophthora nicotianae Breda de Haan inoculum introduced before treatments. In the spring experiment the incorporation of additional Brassicaceae cover crop (Brassica nigra L.

Control of Phytophthora nicotianae with Mefenoxam, Fresh Brassica Tissues, and Brassica Pellets.

Sensitivity to mefenoxam, fresh Brassicaceae tissues, and Brassica pellets was evaluated in several isolates of Phytophthora nicotianae recovered from pepper and tomato plants. The isolates of P. nicotianae studied were classified as sensitive to mefenoxam, showing great variability among isolates in the 50 and 90% effective concentrations (EC and EC, respectively).
