DOES THIS LOOK INFECTED? HIDDEN HOST PLANT INFECTION BY THE PATHOGEN BOTRYTIS CINEREA ALTERS INTERACTIONS BETWEEN PLANTS, APHIDS AND THEIR NATURAL ENEMIES IN THE FIELD

Does This Look Infected? Hidden Host Plant Infection by the Pathogen Botrytis cinerea Alters Interactions between Plants, Aphids and Their Natural Enemies in the Field

Few studies have considered whether hidden (asymptomatic) plant pathogen infection alters ecological interactions at the higher trophic levels, even though such infection still affects plant physiology.We explored this question in two field experiments, where two varieties of lettuce (Little Gem, Tom Thumb) infected with Botrytis cinerea were eithe

Incidence of clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula in patients undergoing open and minimally invasive pancreatoduodenectomy: a population-based study

Purpose: Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) remains a devastating complication of pancreatoduodenectomy (PD).Minimally invasive PD (MIPD), including laparoscopic (LPD) and robotic (RPD) approaches, have comparable POPF rates to open PD (OPD).However, we hypothesize that the likelihood of having a more severe POPF, as defined as clinically rele
