Essential Oils in the Alternative Control of Postharvest Diseases in Strawberries: Anthracnose and Gray Mold.

Strawberry ( × ) is one of the most perishable fruits, requiring care from harvest to consumer arrival. Gray mold and anthracnose are the diseases that most affect this crop in the postharvest period. Essential oils have bioactive compounds that may help maintain fruit quality and retard fruit decay.

Photobiomodulation as a preventive strategy for oral mucositis in pediatric oncology: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objectives: Oral mucositis (OM) is one of the most frequent and debilitating complications in children undergoing treatment for hematologic malignancies. Current management strategies focus on minimizing OM severity and alleviating symptoms. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of photobiomodulation (PBM) in preventing OM in pediatric patients with hematologic malignancies receiving chemotherapy.

Biomechanical Characterisation of Gait in Older Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study Using Inertial Sensor-Based Motion Capture.

The ageing of the global population, especially in developed countries, is driving significant societal changes. In Portugal, demographic data reflect a marked increase in the ageing index. Understanding gait alterations associated with ageing is essential for the early detection of mobility decline and fall risk.

Copper-Catalyzed Electrophilic Amination of Aryl and Pyridylzinc Pivalates Mediated by N-Based Hypervalent Iodine(III) Reagents.

We describe a new Cu-catalyzed electrophilic amination of rapidly prepared, air-stable polyfunctional organozinc compounds using hypervalent iodine reagents bearing transferable aryl/alkyl amines. A wide range of aryl, heteroaryl, and alkyl amines were prepared. The mechanism of the reaction was investigated using density functional theory calculations.

Permethrin disrupts antioxidant defense responses in .

Permethrin, a pyrethroid commonly used to grow crops worldwide, may affect the aquatic environment and show toxicological impact on non-target organisms.Farmed shrimp, , can be included among these organisms since enzymatic antioxidant defense responses were disrupted in gills and hepatopancreas after exposure to this xenobiotic.Phase II biotransformation (Glutathione S-Transferase - GST activity) was affected as well as Acetylcholinesterase - AchE activity.
