BACKGROUND Reported frequency of post-stroke dysphagia in the literature is highly variable. In view of progress in stroke management, we aimed to assess the current burden of dysphagia in acute ischemic stroke. METHODS We studied 570 consecutive patients treated in a tertiary stroke center. Dysphagia was evaluated by using the Gugging Swallowing Screen (GUSS). We investigated the relationshi...

When Acta Crystallographica Section F was being established in 2004, one of the principal goals was for it to take advantage of its online and other attributes to provide rapid processing of articles and minimize the time from submission to publication. One of the early ideas for accelerating article processing was championed by former Section Editor Mitchell Guss: enrolling a panel of experien...

Background and Objectives—Coexisting tree shrub species will have to withstand more arid conditions as temperatures keep rising in the Mediterranean Basin. However, we still lack reliable assessments on how climate drought affect radial growth of at intra- interannual time scales under semi-arid conditions. Materials Methods—We investigated responses four co-occurring gymnosperms inhabiting sit...

Clubroot, one of the most devastating diseases to the Brassicaceae family, is caused by the obligate biotrophic pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae. However, studies of the molecular basis of disease resistance are still poor especially in quantitative resistance. In the present paper, two previously identified genotypes, a clubroot-resistant genotype (wild cabbage, B2013) and a clubroot-suscepti...

According to Art. 38.14 of the Shenzhen Code (Turland & al. in Regnum Veg. 159. 2018), an indirect reference is a clear (if cryptic) indication that previously and effectively published description or diagnosis applies name new taxon. Statice minuta L. (Mant. Pl.: 59. 1767) was cited by Tenore (Syll. Pl. Fl. Neapol.: 162. 1831) as plant reported for Kingdom Naples Petagna (Inst. Bot. 2: 562. 17...

Introduction: This study aims to evaluate the parameters that might have an impact on swallowing performance after a total glossectomy with laryngeal preservation (TGLP). Methods: Among 39 patients who underwent surgery with curative intent for squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue, our retrospective analysis focused on 18 patients treated by TGLP and flap reconstruction. The flap was position...
