Mazus danxiacola (Mazaceae), a distinct new species endemic to Danxia landform in Jiangxi Province, eastern China

Mazus danxiacola, a new species endemic to Danxia landform in east Jiangxi Province, eastern China, is described and illustrated.The systematic placement of this new species was confirmed by molecular phylogenetic analyses based on four plastid markers (matK, rbcL, rps16 and trnL-trnF) and nuclear ribosome ITS sequence, and its specific relationshi

Routine versus on demand removal of the syndesmotic screw; a protocol for an international randomised controlled trial (RODEO-trial)

Abstract Background Syndesmotic injuries are common and their incidence is rising.In case of surgical fixation of the syndesmosis a metal syndesmotic screw is used most often.It is however unclear whether this screw needs to be removed routinely after the syndesmosis has healed.Traditionally the screw is removed after six to 12 weeks as it is thoug
