Use in a controlled environment of Trichoderma asperellum ICC012 and Trichoderma gamsii ICC080 to manage FHB on common wheat.

Fusarium head blight (FHB) represents a significant threat for wheat production due to the risk for food security and safety. Despite the huge number of biofungicides on the market, only one is actually available at European level to control Fusarium infections on cereals. The present work aimed to assess the possible use of Trichoderma asperellum strain ICC012 and Trichoderma gamsii strain ICC080 to manage FHB on common wheat Triticum aestivum cv Apogee.

Corticosteroids and Mesalamine Versus Corticosteroids for Acute Severe Ulcerative Colitis: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background & Aims: Corticosteroids are the mainstay of treatment for hospitalized patients with acute severe ulcerative colitis (ASUC). However, whether the addition/continuation of mesalamine with corticosteroids during hospitalization is superior to corticosteroids alone is unknown.

Methods: This was a randomized controlled, investigator-blinded, clinical trial conducted in 10 centers in 7 countries.

Worldwide barriers to genetic testing for movement disorders.

Background And Purpose: Despite enormous advances in identifying genetic variants responsible for many neurological diseases, access to genetic testing may be limited in clinical practice. The objective of this study was to assess worldwide access to genetic tests for movement disorders and factors impacting their utilization.

Methods: The Rare Movement Disorders Study Group of the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society designed an online survey electronically mailed to all 7815 members.
