Cryopreservation is becoming a very important tool for the long-term storage of plant genetic resources and efficient cryopreservation protocols have been developed for a large number of plant species. Practical procedures, developed using in vitro tissue culture, can be a simple and reliable preservation option of potato genetic resources rather than maintaining by vegetative propagation in ge...

This report summarizes the results of 64 percutaneous catheter drainage of abdominal abscesses and fluid collections in 56 patients. Aspiration and drainage was guided with computed tomography in 34 patients and with ultrasound in 30 patients. Success rate was 90%. Infected collections were successfully drained in 94% and noninfected collections in 72% . Partial success was achieved in two...

The digitization of herbarium collections is greatly transforming plant biodiversity science, yet most data remain inaccessible. Here, we present a novel, single-user photostation and associated workflow for efficiently mobilizing specimens. Our apparatus represents significant improvement to existing technology scalable variety tasks from small massive collections.
