Effects of two foliar fertilizers on fruit quality and volatile flavor compounds in Jinhuangjin peach

YANG Xingwang, WANG Zhiqiang, DUAN Chenlei et al. · 2025 · Guoshu xuebao

[Objective] The cultivation practices for Jinhuangjin peach in Yiyuan County are characterized by family-based operations, with most planting areas being less than 5 acres. The level of mechanization is relatively low, and the average age of fruit farmers exceeds 55 years old. Foliar fertilizer technology is readily adopted in local orchard management, demonstrating high acceptance among fruit farmers. The experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of two foliar fertilizesr on fruit quality and volatile flavor compounds in Jinhuangjin peach in Yiyuan region, so as to provide theoret

HEART RATE VARIABILITY DURING PHYSICAL EFFORT IN PATIENTS WITH METASTATIC OVARIAN CANCER AND CONCOMITANT OBESITY

Viktoriia V. Yevsieieva, Volodimyr I. Cherniy, Kateryna V. Kharchenko et al. · 2023 · Клінічна та профілактична медицина

Introduction. One of the main factors affecting postoperative outcomes in patients with advanced ovarian cancer is the cardiopulmonary status. Several studies have reported that preoperative multifactorial rehabilitation and physical fitness can lead to reduced postoperative morbidity, mortality, shorter length of stay, and improved quality of life in cancer patients. The issue of adaptability to physical activity of overweight and obese patients who undergoing debulking surgery is insufficiently studied. The study of compensatory changes that occur in physically inactive obese patients remain

Chabot Isabelle, Potvin Louise, Moisan Jocelyne et al. · 2006 · BMC Health Services Research

Abstract Background Drug utilization review (DUR) programs are being conducted in Canadian hospitals with the aim of improving the appropriateness of prescriptions. However, there is little evidence of their effectiveness. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of both a retrospective and a concurrent DUR programs on the quality of in-hospital prescribing. Methods We conducted an interrupted time series quasi-experimental study. Using explicit criteria for quality of prescribing, the natural history of cisapride prescription was established retrospectively in three university-aff

The changes in residual volume total lung capacity and vital capacity after the posterior fusion for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis

A. Sukru Solak, Erbil Aydin, Ersan Boysan et al. · 2021 · Acta Orthopaedica et Traumatologica Turcica

Abstract We evaluated pre and postoperative pulmonary functions of 48 patients who underwent posterior fusion for the adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. The mean age at the time of surgery was 13±1.5 years. Average follow-up time was 2.7 years. The predicted pulmonary volumes of the patients were used to eliminate any effect of the difference in age. In this study we didn t found any relation between the pre and postoperative frontal and sagittal plane Cobb angles and pulmonary volumes. Only for the residual volume there was a significant increase but the increase for the vital capacity and forc

Chronic stress induces insulin resistance and enhances cognitive impairment in AD

Jiaying Rong, Yanyong Wang, Na Liu et al. · 2024 · Brain Research Bulletin

Background: Chronic stress can induce the cognitive impairment, and even promote the occurrence and development of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Evidence has suggested that chronic stress impacts on glucose metabolism, and both of these have been implicated in AD. Here we focused on the effect of insulin resistance in glucose metabolism, and further evaluated the changes in cognition and pathology. Methods: Male 9-month-old wild-type and APP/PS1 mice were randomly divided into 4 groups. Mice in the chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) groups were exposed for 4 weeks.

Long-term nitrogen deposition alters the soil bacterial community structure but has little effect on fungal communities

Xiangzhou Zheng, Aiai Xu, Yan Lin et al. · 2024 · Global Ecology and Conservation

Subtropical Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) forests have become hot spots for nitrogen (N) deposition in China. However, the effect of long-term N deposition on the structure of soil microbial communities in different horizons of these forests remains unclear. To investigate the influence of extended N deposition on soil bacteria and fungi, a simulated N deposition field study was conducted in Fujian Province with four N deposition levels (0, 20, 40 and 80 kg N hm−2 a−1). The absolute abundances, diversity, community structure, and potential functions of soil bacteria and fungi were investi

Spatial movements and habitat use of an opportunistic gull species in relation to their colony sites during the breeding season

Biljana Ječmenica, Louie Taylor, Jelena Kralj et al. · 2026 · Avian Research

The Yellow-legged Gull (Larus michahellis) is a widespread and opportunistic central-place forager during the breeding season, yet its spatial behavior and habitat use in Adriatic Sea remain poorly understood. Our aim was to investigate their foraging ranges, movement patterns, and habitat selection during the breeding season. In this study, we tracked 45 adult gulls from 9 breeding colonies distributed along the Adriatic coast using high-resolution GPS devices. Most individuals foraged relatively close to their breeding sites, typically within 20–50 km. However, some gulls demonstrated the ca

Sumardiono Siswo, Meganingtyas Wahyudita, Cahyono Heri · 2025 · E3S Web of Conferences

Artificial rice is one of the food diversification efforts that can be made from non-rice foodstuffs to reduce dependence on rice. In this study, artificial rice was made from a composite flour as raw material composed of modified cassava flour (mocaf) (Manihot esculenta), sago flour (Metroxylon sago Rottb), yellow pumpkin flour (Cucurbita moschata L.), and soybean flour (Glycine max) in different formula ratios. Artificial rice was produced using the extrusion method at temperatures of 70, 80, and 90°C. In this study, the artificial rice was analyzed for chemical and physical properties (wate

Optimization of Non-dairy Dessert Formulation based on Almond Milk Containing Tragacanth Gum and Stevia Sweetener

Fariba Hadidi, Ali Ganjloo, Mohammad Hadi Fakoor · 2023 · مجله پژوهش‌های علوم و صنایع غذایی ایران

Introduction The demand for non-dairy and reduced-calorie products has increased substantially for several reasons. Almond (Prunus dulcis) milk is highly appreciated by lactose-intolerant, hypertensive people and celiac patients whom are not able to consume animal's milk. Thus, the development of various non-dairy products is essential. Desserts are the most common and popular product containing high amount of fat and sucrose. The consumption of sucrose is restricted for diabetic people due to its high glycemic index. Stevia as a low-calorie sweetener is one of the sucrose substitutes in food
