Sweet bell pepper (SBP, L.) can be employed as a spice in many dishes and may also be eaten as a delicious fruit. These two nutritional attributes are owing to the strong, deep taste of many SBP phytochemicals. This fruit has many additional beneficial properties because it contains high concentrations of minerals and vitamins that distinguish it from other kinds of fruits. Almost every part of the SBP is thought to be an excellent source of bioactive substances that are health supporters, such as flavonoids, polyphenols, and various aromatic substances. The ability of SBP-phytochemicals to work as antioxidants, reducing the harmful effects of oxidative stress and consequently preventing many chronic illnesses, is one of their main biomedical characteristics. These phytochemicals have good antibacterial properties, mostly against gram-positive pathogenic microbes, in addition to their anti-carcinogenic and cardio-preventive effects. So, this review aims to highlight the nutritional qualities of SBP-derived phytochemicals and their illness-alleviated characteristics. Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, antidiabetic, and analgesic properties are some of the ones discussed.

Article Synopsis
- Background: The study focused on the effectiveness of tranexamic acid in preventing bleeding and reducing the need for platelet transfusions in patients with blood cancers receiving intensive treatment.
- Methods: An international trial (TREATT) involved 616 adults under chemotherapy or stem-cell transplant, who were randomly assigned to receive either tranexamic acid or a placebo while monitored for bleeding and platelet recovery.
- Findings: Out of 1736 screened patients, 597 were included in the final analysis, revealing demographic details and outcomes related to bleeding events and mortality rates among the two groups.

The present work investigated the effects of iron (Fe) chelate soil application on the nutritional quality of fruits from four non-heterotic red sweet bell cultivars of pepper. The results showed that soil application of Fe-HBED (25-100 µmol Fe·kg soil) caused an increase in the Fe content (up to ca. 70 %) in the fruits of 'Mercedes' and 'Robertina' without a decrease in fruit quality.

Article Synopsis
- Paprika, a key greenhouse crop in Korea, saw a production of 82,042 tons in 2022 but faced increased disease issues in 2023, particularly interveinal chlorosis linked to whitefly infestations.
- Observations from five farms indicated a 30-40% incidence of disease, likely due to the transmission of the tomato chlorosis virus (ToCV) by whiteflies, confirmed through electron microscopy and RT-PCR testing.
- High-throughput sequencing of the virus confirmed the presence of ToCV and also yielded sequences related to bell pepper alphaendornavirus, indicating multiple viral threats to pepper crops.

Background: Critical care beds are a limited resource, yet research indicates that recommendations for postoperative critical care admission based on patient-level risk stratification are not followed. It is unclear how prioritisation decisions are made in real-world settings and the effect of this prioritisation on outcomes.
Methods: This was a prespecified analysis of an observational cohort study of adult patients undergoing inpatient surgery, conducted in 274 hospitals across the UK and Australasia during 2017.
