(SNP102) Ray A. Nicholson interviewed by Dorothy Noble Smith, transcribed by Sharon G. Marston
No full textRecords an interview with Ray Nicholson, who lived in Nicholson Hollow and on Old Rag Mountain, within the future boundaries of Shenandoah National Park. Describes daily life in the mountains, touching on the work of growing and preserving food, herbal remedies, fishing. Discusses the limited economic opportunities available to the mountain people, such as the chestnut harvests, bark peeling, stone masonry and moon-shining. Includes references to local entrepreneur, George Freeman Pollock, owner of nearby Skyland resort. Includes numerous references to Mr. Nicholson\u27s relatives, on both the Nicholson and Fincham sides of his family.https://commons.lib.jmu.edu/snp/1084/thumbnail.jp

Biopsy in interstitial lung disease: specific diagnosis and the identification of the progressive fibrotic phenotype
No full textPurpose of reviewThe evaluation of progression in fibrotic interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) may require a multidimensional approach. This review will cover the role and usefulness of lung biopsy in diagnosis and assessment of the progressive fibrotic phenotype.Recent findingsThe identification of specific findings and the balance between inflammation and fibrosis on lung biopsy may help distinguishing different disease entities and may likely determine the effect of treatment and possibly prognosis. The fibrotic morphological patterns potentially associated with a progressive phenotype include usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP), fibrotic nonspecific interstitial pneumonia, pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis, desquamative interstitial pneumonia, fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis and other less common fibrotic variants, with histopathological findings of UIP at the time of diagnosis being predictive of worse outcome compared with other patterns. The prognostic significance of lung biopsy findings has been assessed after both surgical lung biopsy (SLB) and transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC), the latter becoming a valid alternative to SLB, if performed in experienced centres, due to significantly lower morbidity and mortality.SummaryLung biopsy plays an important role in diagnosis and identification of the progressive fibrotic phenotype. The introduction of less invasive procedures could potentially expand the role of lung sampling, including for example patients with a known diagnosis of ILD or at an earlier stage of the disease

Clifford: 409, Aster 17 (BM-000647099). Current name: Felicia fruticosa (L.) G. Nicholson (Asteraceae). Note: Grau (in Mitt. Bot. Staatssamml. München 9: 275. 1973) indicated both 997.6 and 997.7 (LINN) as types. These collections do not form part of a single gathering (so Art. 9.15 does not apply) and Wijnands (Bot. Commelins: 75. 1983) was correct to reject this as an ineffective type choice. Jones & Hiepko appear to have been the first to make an explicit type choice.Published as part of Jarvis, Charlie, 2007, Chapter 7: Linnaean Plant Names and their Types (part A), pp. 252-342 in Order out of Chaos.

<it>Brachypodium distachyon</it>: a new pathosystem to study Fusarium head blight and other <it>Fusarium </it>diseases of wheat
No full textAbstract Background Fusarium species cause Fusarium head blight (FHB) and other important diseases of cereals. The causal agents produce trichothecene mycotoxins such as deoxynivalenol (DON). The dicotyledonous model species Arabidopsis thaliana has been used to study Fusarium-host interactions but it is not ideal for model-to-crop translation. Brachypodium distachyon (Bd) has been proposed as a new monocotyledonous model species for functional genomic studies in grass species. This study aims to assess the interaction between the most prevalent FHB-causing Fusarium species and Bd in order to develop and exploit Bd as a genetic model for FHB and other Fusarium diseases of wheat. Results The ability of Fusarium graminearum and Fusarium culmorum to infect a range of Bd tissues was examined in various bioassays which showed that both species can infect all Bd tissues examined, including intact foliar tissues. DON accumulated in infected spike tissues at levels similar to those of infected wheat spikes. Histological studies revealed details of infection, colonisation and host response and indicate that hair cells are important sites of infection. Susceptibility to Fusarium and DON was assessed in two Bd ecotypes and revealed variation in resistance between ecotypes. Conclusions Bd exhibits characteristics of susceptibility highly similar to those of wheat, including susceptibility to spread of disease in the spikelets. Bd is the first reported plant species to allow successful infection on intact foliar tissues by FHB-causing Fusarium species. DON appears to function as a virulence factor in Bd as it does in wheat. Bd is proposed as a valuable model for undertaking studies of Fusarium head blight and other Fusarium diseases of wheat.</p
