Over 10,000 Hybrid Tea rose varieties have been described. The large number of varieties and the size of the reference collections may cause problems in DUS (Distinctiveness, Uniformity, and Stability) testing. Molecular markers may help to solve these problems by providing high power to identify and recognise seedlingderived varieties based on unique genotypes, while grouping mutants into grou...

'n Belangrike aspek wat dikwels met betrekking tot die huidige verpleegpersoneelkrisis verontagsaam word, is dat veral jonger verpleegkundiges aan besondere emosionele spanninge onderworpe is en dus persoonlike ondersteuning nodig het.

Real-time communication (RTC) applications have become largely popular in the last decade with spread of broadband and mobile Internet access. Nowadays, these platforms are a fundamental means for connecting people supporting businesses that increasingly rely on forms remote work. In this context, it is paramount importance to operate at network level ensure adequate Quality Experience (QoE) us...

Objectives: Minimal invasive repair of pectus excavatum (MIRPE) described by Nuss is the most popular correction nowadays this deformity. During introduction bars, they can hurt or compress internal mammary arteries (IMA). The aim study was to observe prevalence IMA compression in children after MIRPE. Also, we examined if obstruction increases risk complications at bar removal, and these vascu...

Background: In endovenous laser ablation (EVLA), the great saphenous vein (GSV) is usually ablated from the knee to the groin, with no treatment of the below-knee segment regardless of its reflux status. However, persistent below-knee GSV reflux appears to be responsible for residual varicosities and symptoms of venous disease. Objectives: To evaluate clinical and duplex ultrasound (DUS) outcom...

Objective. To identify the clinical characteristics of a patient population newly diagnosed with acute isolated calf deep venous thrombosis (ICDVT) by duplex ultrasound scan (DUS). Methods. A retrospective review of the records of 100 consecutive patients diagnosed with ICDVT by DUS was conducted. Results. Patients (59% male) were predominantly Caucasian (86%) and inpatients (69%) with an avera...

In bacteria, transformation is conducted by the uptake of DNA followed by homologous recombination. The purpose of these sequences are to uptake exogenous DNA of closely related family members to keep the homology of alleles and protect themselves against hazardous DNA. (Frye et al. 2013) Not all bacteria have a DNA sequence that can be classified as a DNA uptake sequence, in order for a DUS to...

OBJECTIVE Endovenous methods are increasingly used to treat varicose veins. We evaluated the outcome of patients treated with the new radiofrequency ablation (RFA)-ClosureFast catheter in an outpatient setting. METHOD Retrospective analysis of postinterventional duplex ultrasound (DUS), complication rate and quality of life of patients treated for incompetent saphenous veins. RESULTS Betwee...
