ABSTRACT Apples ( Malus domestica Borkh. cv. Gala) were heat‐treated at 38C for 4 days (heat treatment [HT]) before or after coated with 1% chitosan (CTS). Following treatment, apples stored 0C 8 weeks and 20C 7 as shelf life. The effectiveness of the combined treatments on ripeness, quality decay development caused by Penicillium expansum Botrytis cinerea was evaluated. Severe heat damage observed fruits CTS coating (CTS + HT), appeared external internal brown treatment. However, no heated...
Background The thalamus is a major neural hub, with selective connections to virtually all cortical regions of the brain. multisystem neurodegenerative syndrome amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has pathogenic overlap frontotemporal dementia, and objective in vivo markers extra-motor pathological spread are lacking. To better consider role neurodegeneration, present study assessed integrity its connectivity brain longitudinal manner. Methods Diffusion-based MRI tractography was used...
Background: Diagnosis of behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) can be challenging, in particular when patients present with significant memory problems, which increase the chance a misdiagnosis Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Growing evidence suggests spatial orientation is reliable cognitive marker able to differentiate these two clinical syndromes. Objective: Assess integrity egocentric and allocentric heading bvFTD AD, their implications. Method: A cohort 22 (11 bvFTD; 11 AD) 14...
This study aimed to compare the effects of cold plasma (CP), ultraviolet (UV-C) and aqueous ozone (AO) on Botrytis cinerea explore their application in preserving blueberry.The CP, UV-C or AO B. were investigated. Results showed that three treatments effectively inhibited growth cinerea, increasing cell membrane penetrability causing leakage cytoplasm nucleic acid. Scanning electron microscopy CP caused mycelium fold collapse depression; shrivelled; treated with appeared break. In vivo test...
Identifying upper motor neuron (UMN) dysfunction is fundamental to the diagnosis and understanding of disease pathogenesis in (MND). The clinical assessment UMN may be difficult, particularly setting severe muscle weakness. From a physiological perspective, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) techniques provide objective biomarkers MND also useful interrogate cortical network function. Single, paired- triple pulse TMS have yielded novel diagnostic prognostic MND, provided important...
Abstract Biomarkers represent a critical research area in neurodegeneration disease as they can contribute to studying potential disease‐modifying agents, fostering timely therapeutic interventions, and alleviating associated financial costs. Functional connectivity (FC) analysis represents promising approach identify early biomarkers specific diseases. Yet, virtually no study has tested whether FC prove be reliable reproducible across different centers. As such, their implementation remains...
This study investigated the effects of heat treatment (hot air at 38 °C) and antagonistic yeast (Pichia guilliermondii) alone or in combination against postharvest diseases (Botrytis cinerea, Alternaria alternata Rhizopus nigricans) on cherry tomato fruit, evaluated elicitation active defense responses. Results showed that °C for 24 h with P. guilliermondii 1 × 108 CFU mL−1 was most effective approach to reduce various infections fruit's wounds. Moreover, combined stimulated a rapid increase...
Structural changes in albumin, globulin, glutelin, and prolamin from fresh aged rice were characterized this study. Infrared Raman spectroscopies revealed interactions between protein starch, the occurrence of structural involving secondary tertiary structures induced by aging. The α-helical structure was reduced, aliphatic amino-acid side chains became more buried albumin after Oxidation sulfhydryl group globulin evident. unordered coil glutelin decreased, a characteristic frequency free...
Clinico-pathological distinction of primary progressive aphasia (PPA) can be challenging at clinic presentation. In particular, cross-sectional neuroimaging signatures across the logopenic (lvPPA) and semantic (svPPA) variants are difficult to establish, with longitudinal profiles showing greater divergence.Assess propagation white matter degradation in lvPPA svPPA determine disease progression over time, whether this reflects distinct underlying pathology.A cohort 27 patients dementia (12...
