Predicting best planting location and coffee cup quality from chemical parameters: An evaluation of raw Arabica coffee beans from São Paulo over two harvests.

Arabica coffee is one of the most consumed beverages in the world. The chemical components present in raw Arabica coffee beans (RACB) are directly related to the cup quality of the beverage. Environmental and genetic factors influence the content and profile of these components.

Early Balloon Kyphoplasty Treatment for Osteoporotic Vertebral Fracture Reduces Adjacent Vertebral Fractures.

: This study retrospectively examined whether the incidence rates of adjacent vertebral fractures (AVFs) can be reduced through balloon kyphoplasty (BKP) for osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVFs) in the early stages, when there is little vertebral height variation. : A total of 95 patients (22 males, 73 females, mean age: 80.7 years) who had undergone BKP were divided into two groups: the Early group (underwent BKP within 2 weeks after injury, = 62), and the Non-early group (underwent BKP > 2 weeks after injury, = 33).

Non-metastatic hip fractures surgery in patients with active cancer: benefit and risk.

Purpose: Although rare, non-metastatic proximal femoral fracture (PFF) can develop in patients with active cancer. However, little data are available regarding the risks and benefits of surgical treatment in such patients. The purpose of his study was to investigate the risks and benefits of surgical treatment of PFF in patients with and without cancer.

Transcription Factor SrsR (YgfI) Is a Novel Regulator for the Stress-Response Genes in Stationary Phase in K-12.

Understanding the functional information of all genes and the biological mechanism based on the comprehensive genome regulation mechanism is an important task in life science. YgfI is an uncharacterized LysR family transcription factor in . To identify the function of YgfI, the genomic SELEX (gSELEX) screening was performed for YgfI regulation targets on the genome.
