New genomic resources to boost research in reproductive biology to enable cost-effective hybrid seed production.

The commercial realization of hybrid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a major technological challenge to sustainably increase food production for our growing population in a changing climate. Despite recent advances in cytoplasmic- and nuclear-based pollination control systems, the inefficient outcrossing of wheat's autogamous florets remains a barrier to hybrid seed production.

'Treatise on the Spinal Marrow and its Diseases' (Anatomy, functions and general considerations on its diseases) by Ollivier d' Angers CP (1796-1845).

Study Design: Collecting and analyzing all possible documents by internet, and consulting medical libraries in different countries.

Objective: To focus on the work of Ollivier d'Angers who, in the beginning of the 19th century, spent most of his professional life studying the spinal cord, marrow (SM), or medulla spinalis, and publishing the first comprehensive treatise on the subject in 1824.

Setting: ParaDoc database, Swiss Paraplegic-Centre, 6207 Nottwil, Switzerland, in collaboration with Paul Dollfus, ISCoS/Paradoc, Mulhouse, France.

Achieving department safety: a team approach to development of a department safety plan template.

Hospitals develop safety plans to teach employees to work safely with hazards, to maintain a safe patient care environment, and to enable appropriate response to emergencies affecting the healthcare facility. This article explains the process used to create the Department Specific Safety and Infection Control Plan at United Hospital, St. Paul, MN.
