Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of two avocado rootstocks, ANRR88 and ANGI52, grafted onto the Hass variety, focusing on their performance under different water stress levels (deficits and excess).
- Measurements included plant height, leaf area, dry matter, and carbon content in various plant parts, with root traits assessed using digital imaging and stress quantified through vegetation indices (NDVI, CI, MTCI).
- Results indicated that ANRR88 is more sensitive to water availability changes, while ANGI52 shows better adaptability to both water deficit and excess, emphasizing the importance of selecting appropriate rootstocks for avocado cultivation to improve productivity under variable water conditions.
Background: The gap in survival between older and younger European cancer patients is getting wider. It is possible that cancer in the elderly is being managed or treated differently than in their younger counterparts. This study aims to explore age disparities with respect to the clinical characteristics of the tumour, diagnostic pathway and treatment of colorectal cancer patients.

Methods: Post-implementation surveillance included all patients undergoing NRT across five regions within the Spanish National Health Service (SNHS). Validated methods were used to assess pain, disability, adverse events, use of health resources, and patient satisfaction.
Background Context: In the context of shared decision-making, a valid estimation of the probability that a given patient will improve after a specific treatment is valuable.
Purpose: To develop models that predict the improvement of spinal pain, referred pain, and disability in patients with subacute or chronic neck or low back pain undergoing a conservative treatment.
Study Design And Setting: Analysis of data from a prospective registry in routine practice.
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) survival depends mostly on stage at the time of diagnosis. However, symptom duration at diagnosis or treatment have also been considered as predictors of stage and survival. This study was designed to: 1) establish the distinct time-symptom duration intervals; 2) identify factors associated with symptom duration until diagnosis and treatment.
