  • Proceedings of the International Consensus Meeting on Periprosthetic Joint Infection Chairmen: Thorsten Gehrke MD Javad Parvizi MD, FRCS
    Proceedings of the International Consensus Meeting on Periprosthetic Joint Infection Chairmen: Thorsten Gehrke MD Javad Parvizi MD, FRCS 1 Foreword “The doorstep to the temple of wisdom is a knowledge of our own ignorance.” Benjamin Franklin The battle against infection is as old as human civilization. During the last few centuries, great scholars such as Louis Pasteur, Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis, Alexander Fleming, and Joseph Lister have transformed the practice of medicine through their extraordinary discoveries. Despite the progress made and strides gained, our mission to prevent infection following surgery remains unaccomplished. It is not an exaggeration to claim that fear of infection lives in the hearts of every surgeon who steps into the operating room daily. Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI), with all its disastrous implications, continues to pose a challenge to the orthopaedic community. Practicing orthopaedic surgeons have invested great efforts to implement strategies that may minimize surgical site infection (SSI). Although high- level evidence may support some of these practices, many are based on little to no scientific foundation. Thus, there is a remarkable variation in practices across the globe for prevention and management of PJI. Should one use a laminar flow room for elective arthroplasty? How much and which antibiotic should one add to cement spacers? What metric should one use to decide on the optimal timing of reimplantation? What are the indications and contraindications for irrigation and debridement? How many irrigation and debridement in a joint should be attempted before resection arthroplasty needs to be considered? And what is the best type of skin preparation prior to surgery? These are among the many questions that the orthopaedic community faces on a daily basis.

  • Annual Report 2002-Project SB-2: Assessing and Utilizing
    ANNUAL REPORT 2002 PROJECT SB-2 ASSESSING AND UTILIZING AGROBIODIVERSITY THROUGH BIOTECHNOLOGY CIAT October, 2002 Dedication This report is dedicated to the memories of our two fallen colleagues, Maria de Jesús (Chusa) Ginés and Verónica Mera, of late Coordinator and Social Scientist, respectively of the Cassava Biotechnology Network for Latin America and the Caribbean (CBN- LAC). The promising lives of these two highly respected and beloved scientists, wives and mothers were tragically cut short in the morning of Monday, 28 January 2002 when the aircraft they were aboard crashed into the Cumbal volcano in the Colombia – Ecuador border. They were on an official trip from their base in Quito, Ecuador, to the CIAT headquarters in Cali, Colombia. Chusa and Vero believed in and tirelessly championed the causes of the resource-poor farmers of the world. It is remarkable that they ultimately paid the supreme price while in active pursuit of the goal of ensuring that the voices of these farmers are heard in priority setting for cassava biotechnology research. By dedicating the SB-02 Annual Report for 2002 to the memories of these two wonderful people we are affirming our resolve to continue to positively impact on the lives of the poor farmers of the tropics by the strategic use of novel biotechnological tools to increase agricultural productivity through the exploitation of the rich agrobiodiversity of our mandate crops. ii CONTENTS PROJECT SB-2: ASSESSING AND UTILIZING AGROBIODIVERSITY THROUGH BIOTECHNOLOGY..................................................................................................

BMC Biology (2019) 17:92 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12915-019-0712-y RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Genomic insights from the first chromosome-scale assemblies of oat (Avena spp.) diploid species Peter J. Maughan1* , Rebekah Lee1, Rachel Walstead2, Robert J. Vickerstaff3, Melissa C. Fogarty1, Cory R. Brouwer2, Robert R. Reid2, Jeremy J. Jay2, Wubishet A. Bekele4, Eric W. Jackson5, Nicholas A. Tinker4, Tim Langdon3, Jessica A. Schlueter2 and Eric N. Jellen1 Abstract Background: Cultivated hexaploid oat (Common oat; Avena sativa) has held a significant place within the global crop community for centuries; although its cultivation has decreased over the past century, its nutritional benefits have garnered increased interest for human consumption. We report the development of fully annotated, chromosome-scale assemblies for the extant progenitor species of the As- and Cp-subgenomes, Avena atlantica and Avena eriantha respectively. The diploid Avena species serve as important genetic resources for improving common oat’s adaptive and food quality characteristics. Results: The A. atlantica and A. eriantha genome assemblies span 3.69 and 3.78 Gb with an N50 of 513 and 535 Mb, respectively. Annotation of the genomes, using sequenced transcriptomes, identified ~ 50,000 gene models in each species—including 2965 resistance gene analogs across both species. Analysis of these assemblies classified much of each genome as repetitive sequence (~ 83%), including species-specific, centromeric-specific, and telomeric-specific repeats. LTR retrotransposons make up most of the classified elements. Genome-wide syntenic comparisons with other members of the Pooideae revealed orthologous relationships, while comparisons with genetic maps from common oat clarified subgenome origins for each of the 21 hexaploid linkage groups.

A common method used to prescribe buffer zones involves one or two measures of disturbance distance: ‘alert distance’ (AD), the distance between the disturbance source and the animal at the point where the animal changes its behaviour in response to the approaching disturbance source, and ‘flight initiation distance’ (FID), the point at which the animal flushes or otherwise moves away from the approaching disturbance source. Recommendations on ‘safe-working distances’ (essentially, buffer zones around breeding sites) have been made for a number of UK breeding bird species, but without any objective justification.
