Published: February 2024

The influence of ‘Kordia’ sweet cherry cultivar (Prunus avium L.) grafted on ‘Gisela 5’ and ‘Gisela 3’ rootstocks was evaluated in the environmental conditions of Bistriţa hills in Northern Transylvania Romania, during 2020-2021, in a high-density orchard (2 years old trees were planted at the distance of 4 x 2.0 m) with 1250 trees/ha, trained as spindle bush, equipped with drip irrigation system with application of two treatment irrigation levels (T1-standard irrigation, T2-standard+25%). Preliminary data showed that ‘Kordia’ sweet cherry cultivar grafted on ‘Gisela 5’ rootstock was more vigorous than the one grafted on ‘Gisela 3’, considering the biometrical indicators such as trunk cross sectional area (TCSA) and canopy volume. The water amount from T1 was sufficient to complete the estimated full physiological need of the plants, T2 variant completed with more than 25 % the ETr, thus gave more intense vegetative growth characteristics. Calculations of evapotranspiration (ETr) values for irrigation treatments summed up during March-July (2020-2021) were ranging between 486.5-469 mm. Preliminary research results showed that ‘Kordia’ grafted on ’Gisela 3’ rootstock gave good results to be adapted to high density planting system on condition that irrigation is mandatory to be included in the orchard management system.

In Romania’s most rural parts, the urban networks are not sufficiently developed. In order to improve the living standards of the inhabitants of Lechinta village, Iernut city, Mures county, it is necessary to extend water supply and sewerage infrastructure. For a better visualization and understanding of the interest area, a database was created in which the constructions, buildings, electrical and optical fiber networks, infrastructure and access ways were digitized. Considering the created database and the digital elevation model of the terrain, it was possible to easily design the water supply and sewerage infrastructure that allowed a better management of the field measurements. In order to ensure a higher degree of details, but also to complete and verify the measurements made with GPS receivers, photogrammetric and LiDAR data were obtained using a UAS equipped with the TopoDrone LiDAR 100 Lite sensor and the Zenmuse X4S DJI camera. The field data were imported into the ArcGIS application and analyzed in order to achieve the water supply and sewerage infrastructure. In order to visualize the digitization of the elements in the field, web maps were made using ArcGIS online application. The first map allows a 3D view of the area of interest and the second map includes 5 applications: database visualization, selection of desired layers, determination of distances and surfaces, use of different basemaps as well as sharing information through email, Facebook, etc. Database and webmaps that were created contribute to an easier design of urban networks and the visualization of the land in real time.

The present study aims to phenotypically characterize cherry tomato varieties from core-collection to obtain a new morphotype with distinct phenotypic expressiveness and qualitative characters. Breeding procedures were carried out both in protected and open field for all genotypes under study and the breeding methods used were classical breeding, segregation, and selection. Following the breeding process, from the segregations obtained, a variety was selected in the F2 generation, genotype L 312 A, which proved to be phenotypically distinct. This genotype is part of the assortment of medium cherry tricolour tomatoes with high firmness, ovoid fruit weighing about 30 g on average, two seed lobes and a length/diameter ratio of 1-1.2. A new tricolour cherry tomato variety was genetically stabilized. It has distinct phenotypic expressiveness and superior quality traits. Prospects aim to approve and patent the variety.

Agriculture contributes to global warming through the emissions of greenhouse gasses (GHGs). As one of the most important horticultural crops, tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) is of great economic importance. Approximately 80% of the tomatoes grown around the world are processed into sauces, juices, ketchup, canned tomatoes, and soups. The goal of the present study was to assess the carbon footprint of commercially grown processing tomatoes in Greece. The emissions were calculated by using the Cool Farm Tool software. For data collection, a questionnaire was distributed to processing tomato producers. The questionnaires were completed by 40 producers from the main processing tomato-growing regions of Greece. The estimated total carbon footprint value of tomato cultivation for a mean area of 7.16 ha (producing 94.8 tn of tomatoes per ha) was 1,369,700 kg CO2-eq. Specifically, the estimated carbon footprint values per hectare and kg of fruit were 191,298.88 and 0.20 kg CO2-eq, respectively. In addition, the current study revealed that the highest CO2-eq emissions per tonne of fruit were observed in energy use (fuel consumption) for field operations, corresponding to 40.49% of the total emissions per tonne of product.
Early outcomes of minimally invasive hybrid coronary revascularization
Authors: Bakthavachalam Vigneshwar , Yusuf M. M. 
Published: February 2024

Background: Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery has been the gold standard for the treatment of coronary artery disease over the years. It is recommended for patients with multi-vessel coronary artery disease, left main disease, diabetics, severe left ventricular dysfunction, unsuitable anatomy for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and failed PCI. The usage of the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) in the CABG to the left anterior descending (LAD) artery has proven to be superior compared to PCI. Minimally invasive hybrid coronary revascularization (MIHCR) is gaining growing interest.
Methods: This is a hospital-based prospective observational study with 200 patients followed up for a period of 30 days. This study aims to assess the early outcomes of MIHCR in the Indian population.
Results: The 30-day mortality was comparable to other studies, and the number of days in the ICU and hospital stay was shorter than the routine CABG. There was no incidence of a wound infection or stroke. Blood product usage and the need for repeat revascularization and re-exploration were less. The short-term outcomes were promising.
Conclusions: MIHCR has excellent short-term results and is safer than conventional OPCABG, as it is less invasive and avoids midline sternotomy. It also reduces the incidence of stroke and lesser usage of blood products, promoting early return of patients to their routine activities.

Published: February 2024

Background: Epistaxis is the most common ENT emergency. The localization of bleeding site and its control in profuse epistaxis is of major concern for the ENT surgeon. Nasal endoscope has proved to be a boon for the otolaryngologist and is an important tool in diagnosing these bleeding points and their immediate management which reduces the incidence of nasal packing either anterior or posterior. Aim was to study the importance of nasal endoscopy in diagnosing the cause and site of epistaxis and managing them appropriately.
Methods: It was a prospective study conducted in 187 patients of epistaxis visiting ENT emergency at SMGSH, Jammu after getting IEC clearance.
Results: 139 (73.8%) had anterior and 48 (26.2%) posterior epistaxis. Dry nasal septum and mass lesions were the common local causes followed by deviated nasal septum. Anterior part of septum (little’s area) was the common site of bleeding followed by woodruff’s area. The overall success rate of diagnosing the local cause and site of epistaxis was 99% with nasal endoscopy and only 47% with combined anterior and posterior rhinoscopy. Thus, eliciting the importance of nasal endoscopy over conventional anterior and posterior rhinoscopy.
Conclusions: Nasal endoscopy helps in detecting the site and cause of epistaxis and also aids in its appropriate management. It helps in endoscopic guided direct pressure packing, bipolar electrocautery, endoscopy assisted mass excision and endoscopic guided foreign body removal. However, nasal endoscopy is not a substitute for nasal packing.

Published: February 2024

Background:
The current literature lacks recommendations regarding surgical approaches to best visualize and reduce Hoffa fractures. The aims of this study were to (1) define surgical corridors to the posterior portions of the lateral and medial femoral condyles and (2) compare the articular surface areas visible with different approaches.

Methods:
Eight fresh-frozen human cadaveric knees (6 male and 2 female donors; mean age, 68.2 ± 10.2 years) underwent dissection simulating 6 surgical approaches to the distal femur. The visible articular surface areas for each approach were marked using an electrocautery device and subsequently analyzed using image-processing software. The labeled areas of each femoral condyle were statistically compared.

Results:
At 30° of flexion, visualization of the posterior portions of the lateral and medial femoral condyles was not possible by lateral and medial parapatellar approaches, as only the anterior 29.4% ± 2.1% of the lateral femoral condyle and 25.6% ± 2.8% of the medial condyle were exposed. Visualization of the lateral femoral condyle was limited by the posterolateral ligamentous structures, hence a posterolateral approach only exposed its central (13.1% ± 1.3%) and posterior (12.4% ± 1.1%) portions. Posterolateral extension by an osteotomy of the lateral femoral epicondyle significantly improved the exposure to 53.4% ± 2.7% and, when combined with a Gerdy’s tubercle osteotomy, to 70.9% ± 4.1% (p < 0.001). For the posteromedial approach, an arthrotomy between the anteromedial retinaculum and the superficial medial collateral ligament, and one between the posterior oblique ligament and the medial gastrocnemius tendon, allowed visualization of the central (13.5% ± 2.2%) and the posterior (14.6% ± 2.3%) portions of the medial femoral condyle, while a medial femoral epicondyle osteotomy significantly improved visualization to 66.1% ± 5.5% (p < 0.001).

Conclusions:
Visualization of the posterior portions of the femoral condyles is limited by the specific anatomy of each surgical corridor. Extension by osteotomy of the femoral epicondyles and Gerdy’s tubercle significantly improved articular surface exposure of the femoral condyles.

Clinical Relevance:
Knowledge of the surgical approach-specific visualization of the articular surface of the femoral condyles might be helpful to properly reduce small Hoffa fragments.
Testing turbidite conceptual models with the Kaikōura Earthquake co-seismic event bed, Aotearoa New Zealand

ABSTRACT
The 2016 Mw7.8 Kaikōura Earthquake in Aotearoa New Zealand provides an opportunity to test widely applied turbidite sedimentation models because it triggered a co-seismic turbidity current. The resultant Kaikōura event bed (KEB), interpreted as a turbidite, is sampled for ∼ 1300-km down-flow along the depositional system. Sediment core lithologies, computed tomography (CT), and particle-size data are used to test event-bed thickness, silt content, facies distribution, and stacking patterns against the foundations of the turbidite conceptual model of Bouma (1962). KEB thickness is variable to ∼ 100 km down-flow distance and attains a maximum thickness at ∼ 700 km down-flow distance before thinning distally, similar to the predicted bell-shaped proximal to distal trend. Silt content is high throughout the KEB from canyon to fan. The KEB is dominated by laminated Td facies and Te facies that evolve down-system from laminated, then graded, to homogeneous muds. CT and granulometry data are key to differentiating subtle density and textural variations in fine-grained deposits and reveal that KEB Td and Te facies in the KEB that are often not preserved or readily observed in older deposits. The KEB highlights a fine-grained sedimentary system that contrasts with more widely studied sandy turbidite basins. In particular, the KEB example reveals that Td and Te facies are ubiquitous in this fine-grained, silt-rich system. A varied conceptual model developed from the KEB may be applicable to many modern deep-sea turbidite systems and crucial for understanding present-day particulate transport to the deep sea and interpreting evidence from the stratigraphic record.
