Abstract: PurposeExcimer laser phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) is a safe treatment for superficial corneal opacities, e.g., in corneal dystrophies or degenerations. Nevertheless, no standardized treatment protocols are available and intraoperative monitoring was not possible, so far. Here… read more here.

Abstract: ABSTRACT Honey mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa Torr.) may maintain apical dominance after a treatment that causes partial top-kill (PTK) and leaves canopies with “stem flagging.” In contrast, top-killing treatments stimulate multistemmed regrowth (i.e., basal sprouting; BSP).… read more here.
