Background: Accessing peer support can be difficult for people with, or carers of people with, inherited intellectual disabilities. One way to improve access is to provide services online, yet few studies have explored people's experiences with online peer support programmes. We aimed to explore experiences with such programmes for communities affected by fragile X-associated conditions.

Its application in indoor automated phenotyping platforms is still limited and mainly focuses on differences in plant temperature between genotypes or treatments, instead of estimating stomatal conductance or transpiration rate. In this study, the transferability of commonly used thermography analysis protocols from the field to greenhouse phenotyping platforms was evaluated.

We conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the functional outcomes and assess complications and revision rates between the two techniques.
Methods: We searched electronic databases for relevant studies comparing HTO versus UKA for unicompartmental knee osteoarthritis.
