Article Abstract

Unlabelled: Tomato ( L.) is a worldwide economically important vegetable crop, but the production is severely threatened by diseases and pests. Clarifying the presence of disease resistant genes in tomato germplasm is helpful for the development and deployment of resistant cultivars. In this study, 21 genes for resistance to 10 diseases were examined in a collection of 401 tomato accessions using gene-associated molecular markers. The results showed that the presence of the 21 genes in the 401 tomato accessions ranged from 0.2% to 66.1%. Frequencies (27.9-66.1%) of , , , , and genes were higher than other genes, while frequencies (0.2-1.2%) of , , , , and genes were very low. Based on the marker genotypes, 86.3% accessions carried at least one of disease resistance genes. Most (84.2%) Contemporary Processing F (CPF) carried 4-8 genes and 74.1% Contemporary Fresh-market F (CFF) carried 4-6 genes, while 87.4% Contemporary Processing Inbreds (CPI) carried 1-5 genes and 85.3% Contemporary Fresh-market Inbreds (CFI) carried 1-4 genes. Furthermore, the numbers of disease resistance genes were lower in Latin American Landrace (1-3), Vintage (1-3), and CFI (1-4) than in CFF (1-8), CPI (1-7), and CPF (2-10). Among multiple markers used for detection of the single gene, markers CAUTy4 and 18IY13 had the highest consistency (100%) of genotypes for the gene, followed by SM-InDel and InDel-FT-29 (94.0%) for the gene, while markers AW910upF2R3, 20IY10, and TG0302 for detecting the gene had the lowest consistency (44.4%). Disease evaluation confirmed the accuracy of marker-assisted identification of corresponding genes except that the accessions carrying the gene uniquely detected by the CAPS1 marker were susceptible to tomato yellow leaf curl virus. The data obtained here provide valuable information for marker-assisted selection of these disease resistance genes and the use of these germplasm in tomato breeding and production.

Background: Healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs) pose a serious threat to healthcare systems. Accurately determining the incidence of HCAIs is crucial for planning and implementing efficient interventions, as they are associated with a wide range of challenges. The objective of this study was to assess and update the incidence rates of HCAIs in Iran in 2023, using data from the Iranian Nosocomial Infection Surveillance (INIS) system, a nationwide hospital-based surveillance program.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common, complex, and untreatable form of dementia which is characterized by severe cognitive, motor, neuropsychiatric, and behavioural impairments. These symptoms severely reduce the quality of life for patients and impose a significant burden on caregivers. The existing therapies offer only symptomatic relief without addressing the underlying silent pathological progression.

Type II testicular germ cell tumors (GCT) are the most common malignant disease in young men, with a steadily increasing incidence. They originate from germ cell neoplasia in situ and are classified into seminomas (SE) and nonseminomas (NS). The NS subtype embryonal carcinoma (EC) exhibits stem cell-like characteristics and, thus, has the potential to differentiate into teratomas (TE) or extraembryonic tissues, such as yolk-sac tumors (YST) and choriocarcinomas (CC).

Aims/hypothesis: Alpha cell dysregulation is an integral part of type 2 diabetes pathophysiology, increasing fasting as well as postprandial glucose concentrations. Alpha cell dysregulation occurs in tandem with the development of insulin resistance and changes in beta cell function. Our aim was to investigate, using mathematical modelling, the role of alpha cell dysregulation in beta cell compensatory insulin secretion and subsequent failure in the progression from normoglycaemia to type 2 diabetes defined by ADA criteria.

Helicobacter pylori was first characterized as an obligate bacterial pathogen in 1983. Since then, substantial advances have been made in understanding the pathophysiology of H. pylori infection, optimizing diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, and expanding testing and treatment-including in the prevention of gastric malignancies.
