Transcript profiling of hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth) identified interesting genes for seed dormancy.

Hairy vetch, a diploid annual legume species, has a robust growth habit, high biomass yield, and winter hardy characteristics. Seed hardness is a major constraint for growing hairy vetch commercially. Hard seeded cultivars are valuable as forages, whereas soft seeded and shatter resistant cultivars have advantages for their use as a cover crop.

Clinical quality indicators: infection prophylaxis for total knee arthroplasty.

Clinical quality indicators have a strong influence on reducing the overall financial impact, improving the outcomes, and minimizing the adverse events among patients undergoing elective total knee arthroplasty. In today's era of healthcare reform and increasing healthcare costs, it is important for orthopaedic nurses to be aware of the vital role clinical quality indicators play in the perioperative and postoperative settings.
