Effectiveness and safety of cervical catheter tip placement in intrathecal baclofen treatment of spasticity: A systematic review.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of intrathecal baclofen treatment of spasticity, administered via a cervical catheter tip.

Design: A review of PubMed and the Cochrane Library up to September 2020. No restriction in study design.

Two different gene loci co-evolved with of and confer distinct resistance specificities in potato.

Late blight, caused by the oomycete pathogen is the most devastating disease in potato. For sustainable management of this economically important disease, resistance breeding relies on the availability of resistance () genes. Such genes against have evolved in wild tuber-bearing species from North, Central and South America, upon co-evolution with cognate avirulence () genes.

Identification of mega-environments in Europe and effect of allelic variation at maturity E loci on adaptation of European soybean.

Soybean cultivation holds great potential for a sustainable agriculture in Europe, but adaptation remains a central issue. In this large mega-environment (MEV) study, 75 European cultivars from five early maturity groups (MGs 000-II) were evaluated for maturity-related traits at 22 locations in 10 countries across Europe. Clustering of the locations based on phenotypic similarity revealed six MEVs in latitudinal direction and suggested several more.

LOPES II--Design and Evaluation of an Admittance Controlled Gait Training Robot With Shadow-Leg Approach.

Robotic gait training is gaining ground in rehabilitation. Room for improvement lies in reducing donning and doffing time, making training more task specific and facilitating active balance control, and by allowing movement in more degrees of freedom. Our goal was to design and evaluate a robot that incorporates these improvements.

Dutch evidence-based guidelines for amputation and prosthetics of the lower extremity: Rehabilitation process and prosthetics. Part 2.

Background: A structured, multidisciplinary approach in the rehabilitation process after amputation is needed that includes a greater focus on the involvement of both (para)medics and prosthetists. There is considerable variation in prosthetic prescription concerning the moment of initial prosthesis fitting and the use of replacement parts.

Objectives: To produce an evidence-based guideline for the amputation and prosthetics of the lower extremities.
