Effect of Pinus pinaster and Pinus radiata resin on biomass growth of Fusarium circinatum.

Pines produce and accumulate oleoresin, which is part of the preformed defensive system or is synthesized de novo in response to biotic and abiotic challenges. Fusarium circinatum is a fungal pathogen that causes Pine Pitch Canker disease and is characterized by cankers with abundant resin at the infection site. F.

Incentives for smoking cessation.

Background: Financial incentives (money, vouchers, or self-deposits) can be used to positively reinforce smoking cessation. They may be used as one-off rewards, or in various schedules to reward steps towards sustained smoking abstinence (known as contingency management). They have been used in workplaces, clinics, hospitals, and community settings, and to target particular populations.

Interventions for quitting vaping.

Rationale: There is limited guidance on the best ways to stop using nicotine-containing vapes (otherwise known as e-cigarettes) and ensure long-term abstinence, whilst minimising the risk of tobacco smoking and other unintended consequences. Treatments could include pharmacological interventions, behavioural interventions, or both.

Objectives: To conduct a living systematic review assessing the benefits and harms of interventions to help people stop vaping compared to each other or to placebo or no intervention.

Persistent Symptoms (Lasting Longer than 1 Year) in Children Hospitalized with Acute COVID-19 Versus Other Conditions.

We evaluated the prevalence and characteristics of persistent signs and/or symptoms in children and young people (CYP) one year after hospitalization for acute COVID-19 compared with a control group of CYP hospitalized for other conditions. We conducted an observational study in three hospitals in Madrid, which included a group of children aged between 1 month and 18 years who were hospitalized due to acute COVID-19 from March 2020 to December 2021. We also selected a comparison group of patients hospitalized for other, unrelated conditions within the same month.

Machine vision-based recognition of safety signs in work environments.

The field of image recognition is extensively researched, with applications addressing numerous challenges posed by the scientific community. Notably among these challenges are those related to individual safety. This article presents a system designed for the application of image recognition in the realm of Occupational Risk Prevention-a concern of paramount importance due to the imperative of preventing workplace accidents as falls, collisions, or other types of accidents for the benefit of both workers and enterprises.
