TOC 2 USDA National Organic Standards Board Research Priorities, 2018 Executive Summary Overall: The National Organic Standards Board (NOSB) presents an annual list of research priorities for organic food and agriculture. The NOSB requests that integrated research be undertaken with consideration of the whole farm system, recognizing the interplay of agroecology, the surrounding environment, and both native and farmed species of plants and animals. The topics listed below are the 2018 priorities. Livestock 1. Evaluation of methionine in the context of a system approach in organic poultry production. 2. Prevention and management of parasites, examining breeds, geographical differences, alternative treatments, and pasture species. 3. Organic livestock breeding for animals adapted to outdoor life and living vegetation. Crops 1. Examination of decomposition rates, the effects of residues on soil biology, and the factors that affect the breakdown of biodegradable biobased mulch film. 2. Organic no-till practices for diverse climates, crops, and soil types. 3. Plant disease management, including alternatives to antibiotics for fire blight in fruits, alternatives to copper, and research into disease-resistant varieties and biopesticides. 4. Mitigation measures for pesticide residues in compost, including identification of problematic feedstock. 5. Strategies for the prevention, management, and control of invasive insects. 6. Factors impacting organic crop nutrition, and organic/conventional nutrition comparisons. 7. Examination of the factors influencing access to organically produced foods. 8. Production and yield barriers to transitioning to organic production to help growers successfully complete the transition. 9. Side-by-side trials of organic synthetic materials, natural materials, and cultural methods, with a request for collaboration with the IR4 project. Coexistence - GE and Organic Crops 1. Outcome of genetically engineered (GMO/GE) material in organic compost. 2. Evaluation of public germplasm collections of at-risk crops for the presence of GE traits, and ways to mitigate small amounts of unwanted genetic material in breeding lines. 3. Techniques for preventing adventitious presence of GE material in organic crops, and evaluation of the effectiveness of current prevention strategies. 4. Testing for fraud by developing and implementing new technologies and practices. Food Handling and Processing 1. Comparison of alternatives to chlorine materials in processing: impact mitigation, best management practices, and potential for chlorine absorption by produce. 2.

NOSB Oct 2018 proposals and discussion documents pg. 1 of 204 National Organic Standards Board Materials Subcommittee Proposal 2018 Research Priorities July 24, 2018 INTRODUCTION The National Organic Standards Board (NOSB) presents an annual list of research priorities for organic food and agriculture. The NOSB’s Livestock, Crops, Handling, and Materials/GMO Subcommittees propose the priorities at the Fall Board meeting and reflect both written and oral public comments received by the Board. The topics listed below are the 2018 priorities. BACKGROUND Research needs are prioritized along the following criteria: 1) persistent and chronic, 2) challenging, 3) controversial, 4) nebulous, 5) lacking in primary research, and 6) relevant to assessing the need for alternative cultural, biological, and mechanical methods to materials on the National List1. The NOSB encourages collaboration with and between laboratories, federal agencies, universities, foundations and organizations, business interests, organic farmers, and the entire organic community to seek solutions to pressing issues in organic agriculture and processing/handling. PROPOSAL: 2018 RESEARCH PRIORITIES The NOSB encourages integrated, whole farm research into the following areas: Livestock 1. Evaluation of Methionine in the Context of a System Approach in Organic Poultry Production Methionine is an essential amino acid for poultry. Prior to the 1950’s, poultry and pigs were fed a plant and meat-based diet without synthetic amino acids such as methionine. One former NOSB member stated that in §205.237(5)(b), “We have seemingly made vegetarians out of poultry and pigs”. As the organic community moves toward reducing, removing, or providing additional annotations to synthetic methionine in the diets of poultry, a heightened need exists for the organic community to rally around omnivore producers to assist in marshaling our collective efforts in finding viable alternatives to synthetic methionine and to help find approaches for making them more commercially available. Continued research on the use of synthetic methionine in the context of a systems approach (nutrition, genetic selection, management practices, etc.) is consistent with the NOSB unanimous resolution passed at the La Jolla, California, Spring 2015 full board meeting. A systems approach that includes industry and independent research by USDA/ARS, on farms, and by agricultural land grant universities is needed for (1) evaluation of the merits of natural alternative sources of methionine such as herbal methionine, high 1 The National List of Allowed and Prohibited Substances identifies the synthetic substances that may be used and the nonsynthetic (natural) substances that may not be used in organic crop and livestock production. It also identifies a limited number of non-organic substances that may be used in or on processed organic products. The NOSB advises the National Organic Program (NOP) on which substances should be allowed or prohibited. NOSB Oct 2018 proposals and discussion documents pg. 2 of 204 methionine corn, and corn gluten meal in organic poultry production systems, (2) evaluation of poultry breeds selection that could be adaptive to existing organic production systems – inclusive of breeds being able to adequately perform on less methionine, and (3) assessment of management practices for improving existing organic poultry welfare under different conditions. Research findings and collaborations under various climates, housing types, geographical regions, and countries should be noted and researched, where applicable. Certainly, the fruition of these

  • NATACYN® (Natamycin Ophthalmic Suspension) 5% Sterile
    NATACYN® (natamycin ophthalmic suspension) 5% Sterile DESCRIPTION: NATACYN® (natamycin ophthalmic suspension) 5% is a sterile, antifungal drug for topical ophthalmic administration. Each mL of NATACYN® (natamycin ophthalmic suspension) contains: Active: natamycin 5% (50 mg). Preservative: benzalkonium chloride 0.02%. Inactive: sodium hydroxide and/or hydrochloric acid (neutralized to adjust the pH), purified water. The active ingredient is represented by the chemical structure: Established Name: Natamycin Molecular Formula: C33H47NO13 Molecular Weight: 665.73 g/mol Chemical Name: Stereoisomer of 22-[(3-amino-3,6-dideoxy- β-D-mannopyranosyl)oxy]-1,3,26- trihydroxy-12-methyl-10-oxo-6,11,28-trioxatricyclo[22.3.1.05,7] octacosa-8,14,16,18,20-pentaene-25- carboxylic acid. Other: Pimaricin The pH range is 5.0-7.5. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY: Natamycin is a tetraene polyene antibiotic derived from Streptomyces natalensis. It possesses in vitro activity against a variety of yeast and filamentous fungi, including Candida, Aspergillus, Cephalosporium, Fusarium and Penicillium. The mechanism of action appears to be through binding of the molecule to the sterol moiety of the fungal cell membrane. The polyenesterol complex alters the permeability of the membrane to produce depletion of essential cellular constituents. Although the activity against fungi is dose-related, natamycin is predominantly fungicidal. Natamycin is not effective in vitro against gram-positive or gram- negative bacteria. Topical administration appears to produce effective concentrations of natamycin within the corneal stroma but not in intraocular fluid. Systemic absorption should not be expected following topical administration of NATACYN® (natamycin ophthalmic suspension) 5%. As with other polyene antibiotics, absorption from the gastrointestinal tract is very poor.

Recent Findings Natamycin (Natacyn® eye drops) remains the only approved medication in the management of ocular fungal infections. This monotherapy shows therapeutic outcomes in superficial ocular fungal infections, but in case of deep-seated mycoses or endophthalmitis, successful therapeutic outcomes are infrequent, as a result of which alternative therapies are sought. In such cases, amphotericin B, azoles, and echinocandins are used off-label, either in combination with natamycin or with each other (frequently) or as standalone monotherapies, and have provided effective therapeutic outcomes. Summary In recent times, amphotericin B, azoles, and echinocandins have come to occupy an important niche in ocular antifungal pharmacotherapy, along with natamycin (still the preferred choice in most clinical cases), in the management of ocular fungal infections.

  • Antifungal Drugs
    Antifungal Drugs Antifungal or antimycotic drugs are those agents used to treat diseases caused by fungus. Fungicides are drugs which destroy fungus and fungistatic drugs are those which prevent growth and multiplication of fungi. Collectively these drugs are often referred to as antimycotic or antifungal drugs. General characteristics of fungus: Fungi of medical significance are of two groups: Yeast Unicellular (Candida, Crytococcus) Molds Multicellular; filamentous consist of hyphae (Aspergillus, Microsporum, Trichophyton) They are eukaryotic i.e. they have well defined nucleus and other nuclear materials. They are made of thin threads called hyphae. The hyphae have a cell wall (like plant cells) made of a material called chitin. The hyphae are often multinucleate. They do not have chlorophyll, can’t make own food by photosynthesis, therefore derive nutrients by means of saprophytic or parasitic existence. Cell membrane is made up of ergosterol. Types of fungal infections: Fungal infections are termed as mycoses and in general can be divided into: Superficial infections: Affecting skin, nails, scalp or mucous membranes; e.g. Tinea versicolor Dermatophytosis: Fungi that affect keratin layer of skin, hair and nail; e.g. Tinea pedis, rign worm infection. Candidiasis: Yeast infections caused by (Malassezia pachydermatis), oral thrush (oral candidiasis), vulvo-vaginitis, nail infection. Systemic/Deep infections: Affecting deeper tissues and organ they usually affect lungs, heart and brain leading to pneumonia, endocarditis and meningitis. Systemic infections are associated with immunocompromised patients, these diseases are serious and often life threatening due to the organ involved. Some of the serious systemic fungal infections in man are candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, pulmonary aspergillosis.

Antimicrobial active packaging is a potential alternative to protect perishable products during their preparation, storage and distribution to increase their shelf-life by reducing bacterial and fungal growth. This review underlines the most recent trends in the use of new edible coatings enriched with antimicrobial agents to reduce the growth of different microorganisms, such as Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, molds and yeasts. The application of edible biopolymers directly extracted from biomass (proteins, lipids and polysaccharides) or their combinations, by themselves or enriched with natural extracts, essential oils, bacteriocins, metals or enzyme systems, such as lactoperoxidase, have shown interesting properties to reduce the contamination and decomposition of perishable food products, mainly fish, meat, fruits and vegetables. These formulations can be also applied to food products to control gas exchange, moisture permeation and oxidation processes. Keywords: antimicrobial; edible coatings; food packaging 1. Introduction The search for more natural and healthy food, based on minimally-processed, easily-prepared and ready-to-eat fresh products, has resulted in an increase in consumer requirements for safe and high-quality food [1].

  • The Fiscal Politics of Pergamon, 188-133 B.C.E
    “The Skeleton of the State:” The Fiscal Politics of Pergamon, 188-133 B.C.E. By Noah Kaye A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ancient History and Mediterranean Archaeology University of California-Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Emily Mackil Professor Erich Gruen Professor Nikolaos Papazarkadas Professor Andrew Stewart Professor Dylan Sailor Fall 2012 Abstract “The Skeleton of the State:” the Fiscal Politics of Pergamon, 188-133, B.C.E. by Noah Kaye Doctor of Philosophy in Ancient History and Mediterranean Archaeology University of California, Berkeley Professor Emily Mackil, Chair In 188 B.C.E., a Roman commission awarded most of Anatolia (Asia Minor) to the Attalid dynasty, a modest fiefdom based in the city of Pergamon. Immediately, the Roman commissioners evacuated along with their force of arms. Enforcement of the settlement, known as the Treaty of Apameia, was left to local beneficiaries, chiefly the Attalids, but also the island republic of Rhodes. The extraction of revenues and the judicious redistribution of resources were both key to the extension of Attalid control over the new territory and the maintenance of the empire. This dissertation is a study of the forms of taxation and public benefaction that characterized the late Attalid kingdom, a multiscalar state comprised of many small communities, most prominent among them, ancient cities on the Greek model of the polis. It argues that the dynasty’s idiosyncratic choices about taxation and euergetism help explain the success of the Attalid imperial project. They aligned interests and created new collectivities.
