This issue's recently published papers concentrates on early goal directed therapy, starting with new data from the original study through to new studies that may have a major bearing on the treatment of septic shock in years to come. A timely reminder about talking, walking and teaching clinical medicine completes the roundup.

Abstract Background Glyphosate-based herbicides (GBHs) are among the most often used pesticides. The hundreds of GBHs worldwide consist active ingredient (AI) glyphosate in form different salts, possibly other AIs, and various mostly undisclosed co-formulants. Pesticide risk assessments commonly performed using single AIs or at standard soil conditions without vegetation. In a greenhouse experi...

With the increased use of glyphosate-based herbicides (marketed under several names, including Roundup and Vision), there has been a concomitant increased concern about the unintended impacts that particular formulations containing the popular surfactant polyethoxylated tallowamine (POEA) might have on amphibians. Published studies have examined a relatively small number of anuran species (prim...

The effect of adding Frigate (R), an adjuvant developed primarily for use with the isopropylamine salt of glyphosate (Roundup)," to improve the eradication of ratoon sugarcane under minimum tillage is discussed. Results are presented from replicated trials conducted over three seasons evaluating the effects on cane regrowth of adding Frigate to recommended and low rates of Roundup. Results are ...

Glyphosate (see Figure 1) herbicides are “among the world’s most widely used herbicides.”1 and glyphosate is “the world’s leading agrochemical.”2 Although glyphosate herbicides have been popular since they were first marketed in 1974, their use in agriculture has expanded recently with the increased use of crops that have been genetically modified to tolerate glyphosate treatment.3 Roundup is a...
