The genes controlling resistance to three wheat rusts, viz., leaf rust (Lr26), stem rust (Sr31) and stripe or yellow rust (Yr9), and ω-secalins (Sec1), located on the short arm of rye chromosome 1R, were mapped with respect to each other and the centromere. Analysis of 214 seeds (or families derived from them) from testcrosses between a 1BL.1RS/1R heterozygote and 'Chinese Spring' ditelocentric 1BL showed no recombination between the genes for resistance to the three rusts, suggesting very tight linkage or perhaps a single complex locus conferring resistance to the three rusts. The rust resistance genes were located 5.4 ± 1.7 cM from the Sec1 locus, which in turn was located 26.1 ± 4.3 cM from the centromere; the gene order being centromere - Sec1 - Lr26/Sr31/Yr9 - telomere. In a second test-cross, using a different 1BL.1RS translocation which had only stem rust resistance (SrR), the above gene order was confirmed despite a very large proportion of aneuploids (45.8%) among the progeny. Furthermore, a map distance of 16.0 ± 4.8 cM was estimated for SrR and the telomeric heterochromatin (C-band) on 1RS. These results suggest that a very small segment of 1RS chromatin is required to maintain resistance to all three wheat rusts. It should be possible but difficult to separate the rust resistance genes from the secalin gene(s), which are thought to contribute to dough stickiness of wheat-rye translocation lines carrying 1RS.

Background: Dementia, a growing health crisis, disproportionally affects persons from racial/ethnic backgrounds and individuals with comorbidities. Latelife change in cognition is complex and nonlinear, as well as differential for these individuals. These individuals are also largely underrepresented in clinical trials.

Background: Nursing home (NH) residents with dementia commonly experience mealtime behaviors that negatively impact nutrition and function. Residents do not receive person-centered mealtime care (PCMC) due to multilevel factors one prioritized modifiable factor is lack of effective PCMC programs. This study aimed to develop a PCMC program and test its feasibility, acceptability, usefulness and preliminary efficacy.

Antibiotics are a revolutionary discovery in modern medicine, enabling the successful treatment of bacterial infections that were once untreatable and deadly. Teixobactin, a "head-toside- chain" cyclodepsipeptide, shows great promise as a lead compound for developing new antibiotics to deal with multi-drug-resistant bacterial infections. The unique pharmacological profile and intriguing structural characteristics of teixobactin, including its unusual amino acid residues (three D-amino acids and L-allo-enduracididine), have drawn the attention of multiple research groups seeking to create new antibiotics with innovative mechanisms.

Aim: To assess the efficacy of the combined administration of myo-inositol and zinc, a mineral involved in the insulin pathway, in paediatric obesity with insulin resistance on HOMA-IR, glucose-insulin metabolism, and lipid profile.
Materials And Methods: Double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study conducted in North Italy. Fifty-six patients (10-18 years, Tanner stage ≥3) with obesity and insulin resistance were randomized to myo-inositol (2000 mg), zinc gluconate (5 mg), and galactooligosaccharides (GOS) from plant-based origin (1000 mg) (TRT) or placebo (PLC) containing only GOS from plant-based origin (1000 mg).
Effects of weekend-focused exercise on obesity-related hormones and metabolic syndrome markers in male high school students.

To examine the changes in obesity-related hormones and metabolic syndrome markers in male high school students with obesity following a weekend-focused moderate- or high-intensity exercise program at the recommended weekly physical activity level, or a program of regular exercise 3 times a week at moderate intensity, over a 10-week period. Forty-eight male high school students who were obese with a body fat percentage of ≥25% were randomly assigned to one of three groups: a regular moderate-intensity exercise group (n=17) that freely selected and performed moderate-intensity aerobic and resistance training exercises, every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, for a total of 150-300 min/wk; a weekend-focused moderate-intensity exercise group (n=15) that freely selected and performed aerobic and resistance training exercises every Saturday for 150-300 min; and a week-end-focused high-intensity exercise group (n=16) that freely selected and performed aerobic and resistance training exercises every Sunday for 75-150 min. Insulin and leptin levels significantly decreased in all the groups, with the greatest reduction in the regular exercise group.
