Fundamental host range of Pseudophilothrips ichini s.l. (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae): a candidate biological control agent of Schinus terebinthifolius (Sapindales: Anacardiaceae) in the United States.

Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi (Sapindales: Anacardiaceae) is a non-native perennial woody plant that is one of the most invasive weeds in Florida, Hawaii, and more recently California and Texas. This plant was introduced into Florida from South America as a landscape ornamental in the late 19th century, eventually escaped cultivation, and now dominates entire ecosystems in south-central Florida. Recent DNA studies have confirmed two separate introductions of S.

[Retrograde cerebral perfusion during circulatory arrest with deep hypothermia. A new technique for brain protection in surgery of ascending aorta and aortic arch].

Between May 1993 and August 1994, 15 patients (10 men) with type A aortic dissection (9 acute) had a replacement of the ascending aorta and/or aortic arch with circulatory arrest with profound hypothermia and retrograde cerebral perfusion. Mean circulatory arrest time was 47.5 min (range 23 to 68 min).
