The Effectiveness of Pattern Scanning Laser Trabeculoplasty as an Additional Treatment for the Patients of Open-Angle Glaucoma Receiving Full Ocular Hypotensive Medications.

: Our purpose was to examine the effectiveness of pattern scanning laser trabeculoplasty (PSLT) as an additional treatment for patients of open-angle glaucoma (OAG) receiving maximized ocular hypotensive medications (OHM). : A total of 40 eyes of 33 patients (average age 72.7 ± 10.

Development of 'Poroshiri', a chip processing potato variety with golden cyst nematode and common scab resistance.

Golden cyst nematodes have threatened the cultivation of 'Toyoshiro', a major potato variety used for chip processing in Japan. Common scab is a soilborne disease that occurs in potato fields worldwide. To solve these problems, we crossed two US varieties and selected a clone that showed a slightly higher marketable yield and a significantly higher yield rate, compared with 'Toyoshiro', and had good chip processing quality, extreme resistance to cyst nematodes, and moderately high resistance to common scab.
