    Abstract Florida (USA) is a major producer of squash, Cucurbita pepo L. (Cucurbitaceae), with approximated 16% of the US production in 2019, valued at about 35 million USD. Major insect pests, including the sweetpotato whitefly MEAM1, Bemisia tabaci Gennadius (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), and the melon aphid, Aphis gossypii Glover (Hemiptera: Aphididae), jeopardize plant development and transmit viruses of economic importance that can cause up to 50% yield loss in squash crops. Pesticides are generally used for insect management in squash, but the development of insecticide resistance and their non‐target effects are major concerns. A combination of non‐pesticidal approaches was evaluated, including intercropping flowering plants, augmentation, and conservation biological control to manage key pests in organic squash. Refugia increased natural enemies around the squash; however, only a few beneficial arthropods moved from the companion plants towards the squash plants. Whitefly densities and squash silverleaf ratings were reduced, whereas natural enemies were more abundant when the predatory mite Amblyseius swirskii Athias‐Henriot (Acari: Phytoseiidae) was released alone or together with sweet alyssum, Lobularia maritima (L.) Desv. (Brassicaceae). All companion plants used in this study increased natural enemies, but only African marigolds and sweet alyssum ultimately increased biological control activities.

    Abstract The application of two computer vision systems (CVS) was evaluated to predict primal and retail cut composition in youthful beef carcasses. Left carcass sides from a total of 634 animals were broken down into primal cuts, scanned using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry for the prediction of tissue composition and fabricated into retail cuts.

    Abstract The potential benefit of the anti-amyloid drug aducanumab based on results of recent EMERGE and ENGAGE clinical trials has generated great controversy and has very important implications for the future of anti-amyloid drug therapies. The two trials of 18-month duration were done in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early dementia. The ENGAGE trial showed no benefit while the high-dose EMERGE trial initially also showed no benefit but with longer follow-up there was a significant positive benefit. A recent review form the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Advisory Committee was negative while the FDA Office of Neurological Drugs was positive and the statisticians negative. This has generated debate about whether the drug should be approved, disapproved, require a new clinical trial, or approved for a subsample only. The implications for treating both MCI and Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients with anti-amyloid drugs is very substantial as well as the brain amyloid-AD-dementia hypothesis.

    Abstract This study used a sonochemical synthesis method to prepare (La, Sm)-doped ZnO nanoparticles (NPs). The effect of incorporating these lanthanide elements on the structural, optical, and morphological properties of ZnO-NPs was analyzed. The cytotoxicity and the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation capacity of ZnO-NPs were evaluated against breast (MCF7) and colon (HT29) cancer cell lines. Their antioxidant activity was analyzed using a DPPH assay, and their toxicity towards

    Abstract There is a pathophysiological correlation between arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus, established since the pre-diabetic state in the entity known as insulin resistance. It is known that high concentrations of angiotensin-II enable chronic activation of the AT1 receptor, promoting sustained vasoconstriction and the consequent development of high blood pressure. Furthermore, the chronic activation of the AT1 receptor has been associated with the development of insulin resistance. From a molecular outlook, the AT1 receptor signaling pathway can activate the JNK kinase. Once activated, this kinase can block the insulin signaling pathway, favoring the resistance to this hormone. In accordance with the previously mentioned mechanisms, the negative regulation of the AT1 receptor could have beneficial effects in treating metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus. This review explains the clinical correlation of the metabolic response that diabetic patients present when receiving negatively regulatory drugs of the AT1 receptor.

    Abstract Tetranychid outbreaks have been detected since 2016 in southern highbush blueberries (SHB); however, it was not until 2019 that the southern red mite (SRM), Oligonychus ilicis (Acari: Tetranychidae) was confirmed as the pest causing severe bronzing and stunting, in multiple Florida and Georgia commercial blueberry plantings. To date, only three miticides (fenazaquin, fenpyroximate, and acequinocyl) have been registered for use in SHB and there are no clear guidelines on how to manage SRM in SHB. Similarly, there is no knowledge regarding the existence of natural enemies of SRM in SHB. This is the first report of naturally occurring predatory mites (Amblyseius sp. and Neoseiulus ilicis) associated with SRM in SHB. Predatory mites were recorded in blueberry bushes after treatment with seven miticides used to suppress SRM populations including spiromesifen, acequinocyl, sulfur, sulfur + molasses, bifenazate, fenpyroximate, and fenazaquin. The number of SRM recorded per leaf and averaged plant damage ratings (0 = no bronzing–4 = 100% bronzing) were used to evaluate miticide efficacy. Additionally, the presence or absence of predatory mites per sample was recorded. Fenpyroximate used as the standard miticide, significantly reduced mite numbers seven days after application, as well as acequinocyl and fenazaquin. Fenpyroximate and fenazaquin demonstrated the best performance for managing O. ilicis on SHB and treated bushes demonstrated significantly less bronzing compared with the control plants. These miticides were also safe to naturally occurring predatory mites. Lastly, the level of growers’ awareness regarding SRM was assessed using surveys in 2020 to design adequate educational materials available to the grower community.
