Purpose: Men on active surveillance (AS) for prostate cancer are extremely interested in dietary changes or supplements to prevent progression of their disease. We sought to determine whether a high omega-3, low omega-6 fatty acid diet with fish oil capsules (D + FO) decreases proliferation (Ki-67) in prostate biopsies in men with prostate cancer on AS over a 1-year time period.
Methods: In this phase II, prospective randomized trial, men (N = 100) with grade group 1 or 2 prostate cancer who elected AS were randomly assigned to the D + FO or a control group.
Cultivated sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is a globally important oilseed crop that is grown primarily in the Northern Great Plains region of the United States. In September 2018, sunflower stems exhibiting brown stem lesions centered on the leaf axils and accompanied by pith degradation, consistent with symptoms of Phomopsis stem canker (PSC) disease, were sampled from a commercial field of approximately 520 hectares in Polk County, MN (47°50'24" N, 96.

- Kudoa thyrsites infection in marine fish leads to myoliquefaction, which is hard to detect until 24-56 hours after death, complicating the removal of infected fish before they reach the market.
- The study explored using near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy combined with advanced statistical methods to distinguish between infected and uninfected fish, showing a high infection rate in sardines, hake, and kingklip.
- While the models attempted to classify fish successfully, they struggled with accuracy, particularly for kingklip, and showed over 60% misclassification, especially in SIMCA models.
Objective: To investigate the proportion of low-density granulocytes (LDGs), circulating plasma neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), and serum-induced NET formation in patients with incomplete systemic lupus erythematosus (iSLE) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
Methods: LDGs were measured cross-sectionally in 18 iSLE patients, 11 SLE patients and 14 healthy controls (HCs), whereas circulating NETs and serum-induced NET formation were assessed in 35 iSLE patients, 41 SLE patients and 16 HCs. LDGs (CD14lowCD15+) were measured in PBMCs using flow cytometry and circulating plasma NETs were measured using anti-myeloperoxidase-DNA, anti-citrullinated histone H3 and anti-elastase-DNA complex ELISAs.
Objective: Immunoglobulin G (IgG) autoantibodies in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are considered pathogenic, whereas immunoglobulin M (IgM) autoantibodies may have protective effects. The aim of this study was to identify whether IgG/IgM autoantibody ratios differ between patients with incomplete systemic lupus erythematosus (iSLE), patients with SLE, and healthy controls (HCs), and whether IgG/IgM autoantibody ratios relate to progression from iSLE to SLE.
Method: This prospective cohort study included 34 iSLE patients, 41 SLE patients, and 11 HCs.
