Prognostic Value of the Modeled Prostate-Specific Antigen KELIM Confirmation in Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Treated With Taxanes in FIRSTANA
CONCLUSION: This external validation study confirmed previous results about modeled PSA longitudinal kinetics prognostic value regarding PFS/OS in patients with mCRPC treated with taxanes. PSA.KELIM could be used to identify a subpopulation with poor prognosis, who may benefit from treatment intensification.PMID:38364191 | DOI:10.1200/CCI.23.00208 (Source: Clinical Prostate Cancer)

Description of Microbacterium dauci sp. nov., a plant growth hormone indoleacetic acid-producing and nitrogen-fixing bacterium isolated from carrot rhizosphere soil
Arch Microbiol. 2024 Feb 14;206(3):102. doi: 10.1007/s00203-023-03810-7.ABSTRACTA plant growth hormone indoleacetic acid-producing strain LX3-4T was isolated from a carrot rhizosphere soil sample collected in Shandong Province, China. It is Gram-stain-positive, non-motile, and has irregular short rod-shaped cells. LX3-4T shared high 16S rRNA gene sequence identity with Microbacterium oleivorans DSM 16091T (99.4%), M. testaceum NBRC 12675T (98.6%), M. marinum DSM 24947T (98.5%), M. resistens NBRC 103078T (98.4%), and M. paraoxydans NBRC 103076T (98.3%).

Hate droopy carrots? Here ’s how to keep them crisp
Few culinary experiences are as disappointing as a mushy, floppy bite when you’re expecting a crisp crunch. That’s especially a problem with carrots, which curl and sag after days in the fridge.
To find out why they do this, scientists chopped carrots lengthwise to expose their insides, which helped them collect data on how the inner core of the carrot would be affected by refrigeration. The cold environment of a fridge keeps food fresh, but the air convection dries it out.
As the carrots lost their moisture, their cells lost their shape, causing the veggies to droop. Carrots lose up to 22% of their water ...

Antibacterial effect of ultrasound and β-citronellol against Listeria monocytogenes and its application in carrot preservation
This study investigated the antibacterial effects of ultrasound (US), β-citronellol (CT), and a combination of the two treatments on Listeria monocytogenes. Results showed that US or CT alone did not show apparent antibacterial effect (0.02-0.76 log CFU/mL reduction). The combined treatment showed obviously inactivate effect of L. monocytogenes, the populations of L. monocytogenes decreased by 8.93 log CFU/mL after US (253 W/cm2, 20 kHz) + 0.8 mg/mL CT treatment. US + CT treatment also had a significant (P < 0.05) antibacterial effect on isolates of L. monocytogenes from three different serotypes. In this study, the da...

Use of manganese oxide nanoparticle (MnO < sub > 2 < /sub > NPs) and Pseudomonas putida for the management of wilt disease complex of carrot
Exp Parasitol. 2024 Jan 4:108698. doi: 10.1016/j.exppara.2024.108698. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWilt disease complex of carrot is caused by Ralstonia solancearum and Meloidogyne incognita and is responsible for considerable yield loss. Manganese oxide nanoparticle (MnO2 NPs) and Pseudomonas putida was used alone and in combination for the management of this wilt disease complex. In vitro, MnO2 NPs 0.10 g.L-l caused 49.36% reduction in hatching and 14.23% mortality of second stage juveniles (J2) of M. incognita while paper disc dipped in MnO2 NPs suspension caused 0.51 mm inhibition zone around R. solanacearum in nutrie...

Effect of nanocomposite alginate-based edible coatings containing thymol-nanoemulsion and/or thymol-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers on the microbial and physicochemical properties of carrot
In this study, the effect of thymol-nanoemulsion (NE) and thymol-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) on the physiological and microbial quality of carrot was investigated. The NE and NLC droplet sizes were 86 and 140 nm with encapsulation efficiency of 97 and 94 %, respectively. The minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration of thymol decreased in NE and increased in NLC against E. coli and S. aureus. Moreover, thymol-containing coatings exhibited a higher peroxidase activity, total phenolic content, flavonoid content, DPPH radical scavenging activity, pH, and lower respiration rate, TSS...

Sensors, Vol. 24, Pages 190: An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Indoor Low-Computation Navigation Method Based on Vision and Deep Learning
Ta Chuang
Recently, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have found extensive indoor applications. In numerous indoor UAV scenarios, navigation paths remain consistent. While many indoor positioning methods offer excellent precision, they often demand significant costs and computational resources. Furthermore, such high functionality can be superfluous for these applications. To address this issue, we present a cost-effective, computationally efficient solution for path following and obstacle avoidance. The UAV employs a down-looking camera for path following and a front-looking camera for obstacle avoidance. This paper ref...

Estimation of ethanol and methanol exposure through jarred fruit purees
CONCLUSIONS: Our results show higher exposure doses of methanol and ethanol than allowable ones (methanol 2 and ethanol 6 mg/kg/day) in children consuming fruit purees. This should be handled as a public health risk and further comprehensive studies should be enrolled on the chronic toxic effects of food-derived alcohols. Besides, food-derived exposure to toxic chemicals from early life should be more questioned by physicians (in assessing chronic diseases), and related authorities should establish a sustainable, safe, and healthy food production policy.PMID:38088392 | DOI:10.4415/ANN_23_04_04 (Source: Annali dell'Istituto...
