APPLE BREEDING PROGRAMS AND METHODS: THEIR DEVELOPMENT AND IMPROVEMENT by E. N. Sedov

“…A perfect cultivar is impossible, because cultivar requirements change faster than the time required for breeding, but we should aspire to it.As a result of long-term breeding for the improvement of fruit biochemical composition, we managed to raise cultivars with high contents of P-active substances (up to 400–600 mg/100 g), but cultivars with the desirable content of ascorbic acid 25–30 mg/100 g have not been developed so far.A number of apple cultivars resistant to scab (bearing the Vf gene) have been developed in Russia. …”

The role of sex, age, and BMI in treatment decisions for knee osteoarthritis: conservative management versus total knee replacement by Fabiola Ojeda, Laura Tío, Francisco Castro-Domínguez, Simone Tassani, Jerome Noailly, Jordi Monfort

“…Methods This case–control study compared patients assigned to TKR versus conservative management, examining subjects aged 60–75 years with radiographically confirmed KOA (Kellgren–Lawrence grades 2–3), with all participants evaluated by blinded clinicians using validated assessment tools including Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADs), Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) and Daily physical activity (DPA) questionnaires. The study employed multivariate analysis of variance for continuous variables at both patient and knee levels, followed by univariate analysis of variance for significant factors, while logistic and linear regression analyses were used to calculate odds ratios, with Bonferroni corrections applied to adjust p-values for multiple comparisons. …”
