Susceptibility of Cider Apple Accessions to European Canker-Comparison between Evaluations in Field Planted Trees and Rapid Screening Tests.

European canker, caused by Bres., is an economically damaging fungal disease of apple. Breeding new cultivars with a high level of resistance to European canker is the main aim of apple breeding programs.

The use of light spectrum blocking films to reduce populations of Drosophila suzukii Matsumura in fruit crops.

Spotted wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii, is a serious invasive pest impacting the production of multiple fruit crops, including soft and stone fruits such as strawberries, raspberries and cherries. Effective control is challenging and reliant on integrated pest management which includes the use of an ever decreasing number of approved insecticides. New means to reduce the impact of this pest that can be integrated into control strategies are urgently required.

Are surface and deep learning approaches associated with study patterns and choices among medical students? A cross-sectional study.

Background: Different approaches to learning can exert considerable influence on the teaching-learning process in medical education. This study aimed to investigate the association of surface and deep learning with study patterns, preferred type of assessment, practices of cheating and quality of sleep among medical students.

Design And Setting: Cross-sectional study on medical students enrolled in all six years of a medical school in Juiz de Fora, Brazil.

Small-Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth is Associated With Concurrent Intestinal Inflammation But Not With Systemic Inflammation in Crohn's Disease Patients.

Goals: We studied the prevalence and predictors of small-intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) in Crohn's disease (CD) outpatients and the relationship between SIBO and intestinal and/or systemic inflammation.

Background: The relationship of SIBO with systemic and intestinal inflammation in CD patients is unclear.

Study: In this cross-sectional study, conducted between June, 2013 and January, 2015, 92 CD patients and 97 controls with nonchronic gastrointestinal complaints were assessed for the presence of SIBO using the H2/CH4 glucose breath test.

[A case-control study of extracorporeal versus intracorporeal anastomosis in patients subjected to right laparoscopic hemicolectomy].

Introduction: There is still insufficient scientific evidence on which is the best technique to perform the anastomosis -intracorporeal (IC) or extracorporeal (EC)- in right laparoscopic hemicolectomy. The objective of the present study is to determine whether there are differences to compare in both techniques.

Material And Methods: A study was performed on a prospective patient series subjected to right laparoscopic hemicolectomy in our Hospital.
