Genetic diversity of nutritional quality traits is crucial for potato breeding efforts to develop better varieties for the diverse market demands. In this study, the genetic diversity of 104 potato genotypes was estimated based on nutritional quality traits such as color parameters, total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), and 2,2-azino-bis-(3-ethylbezothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) radical scavenging potential across two environments. The results indicated that environment II, Hangzhou 2020, exhibited higher bioactive compounds and antioxidant properties than environment I, Hangzhou 2019.

Background: Two major bacterial pathogens, and , are becoming increasingly antibiotic-resistant. Despite the urgency, only a few new antibiotics have been approved to address these infections. Although cannabinoids have been noted for their antibacterial properties, a comprehensive review of their effects on these bacteria has been lacking.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to evaluate the impact of hospital teaching status on outcomes for patients with type B aortic dissection (TBAD) using data from the National Readmissions Database over four years.
  • A total of 44,981 TBAD patients were analyzed, revealing no significant differences in in-hospital mortality or 30-day readmission rates between those treated at teaching hospitals versus non-teaching hospitals.
  • At teaching hospitals, the use of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) showed higher risks of in-hospital mortality, while higher hospital patient volumes were linked to increased chances of 30-day readmissions.
