Plant-based water stress sensing in two olive cultivars with different physiological responses to drought
2022
A large portion of modern olive plantings is dominated by one main cultivar (‘Arbequina’) planted at super high density (SHD, 1,500 tree ha‑1), leading to a dangerous reduction in olive biodiversity. Very few cultivars have growth and productive patterns that suit the SHD system requirements. Partial intensification and mechanization with several cultivars may represent the safest and easiest alternative. The efficient use of limited natural resources, such as water, in SHD systems, requires precise management. Continuous plant-based sensing is a promising approach to managing water, mainly tested on the cultivar ‘Arbequina’. In this study, we evaluated the sensitivity of two promising indi…
CLINICAL COURSE OF SEVERE COLITIS: A COMPARISON BETWEEN CROHN'S DISEASE AND ULCERATIVE COLITIS.
2018
Few data are available about the clinical course of severe colonic Crohns disease (CD). The aim of this study is to describe the clinical course of severe Crohns colitis in a patient cohort with isolated colonic or ileocolonic CD, and to compare it with the clinical course of patients with severe ulcerative colitis (UC). Thirty-four patients with severe Crohns colitis were prospectively identified in our cohort of 593 consecutive hospitalized patients through evaluation of the Crohns Disease Activity Index score and the Harvey-Bradshaw Index. One hundred sixty-nine patients with severe ulcerative colitis were prospectively identified in our cohort of 449 consecutive hospitalized patient…
