Three randomised controlled trials have shown a significant reduction in peri-operative mortality when comparing endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) with standard open surgery (1.7% v. 4.7% in the EVAR Trial 1; 1.2 v. 4.6% in the Dream Trial; 0.5 v. 3% in the OVER Trial1-3). EVAR has therefore become the standard of care in many centres. There are, however, patients who require EVAR because ope...

This study examines the effects of straw management and winter flooding on soil N dynamics and crop N uptake in California rice (Oryza sativa L.) systems. Experiments were established in two locations in northern California with main plot treatments being winter flooding or no flooding; and four straw management practices (burn, remove, incorporate, and roll) as subplot treatments. Fertilizer w...

Sorbus torminalis (WILD SERVICE TREE) is described and illustrated. It a species relatively isolated from its relatives, but role as parental taxon of hybridogenic noted. Notes on usage, cultivation propagation are included.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare images of the retina and choroid obtained with Spectralis 1050-nm spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) with and without enhanced depth imaging (EDI) to the commercially available 870-nm SD-OCT with and without EDI. METHODS Full-length 30° line scans were obtained with both 870- and 1050-nm Spectralis OCT instruments, with and w...
