“…The study adopted a 3 × 4 factorial arranged in an RCBD with four replications in the major season. The factors were three maize varieties (Omankwa, Obatanpa, and Ahomatea) and four soil amendments (goat manure at 5 t·ha−1; inorganic fertilizer (N-P2O5-K2O at 95-37.5–37.5 kg·ha−1); 50% goat manure (2.5 t·ha−1) + 50% inorganic fertilizer (N-P2O5-K2O at 47.5–18.75–18.75 kg·ha−1); and the control (no soil amendment)).To evaluate the residual implications of these soil amendments in the minor season, each plot used in the major season was further divided into two except for the control plot, resulting in a split plot design with factorial of 3 maize varieties × 7 soil amendments. …”

Impact of bone quality on surgical decision-making in total hip arthroplasty: a qualitative analysis in the UK by Stella Mavroveli, Justin Cobb, Sanjeeve Sabharwal, Monil Karia, Alex Abouharb

“…It is unclear, however, whether and how bone quality affects surgeon’s decision-making and how surgeons evaluate bone quality.Objectives This inductive/deductive qualitative hybrid study aims to explore the impact of bone quality on the decision-making of surgeons performing elective primary THA. This study will evaluate: (1) whether surgeons consider bone quality as an important factor for surgical decision-making; (2) how bone quality influences surgical decision-making; and (3) how surgeons assess bone quality preoperatively and intraoperatively.Design This is a qualitative study, involving inductive/deductive hybrid thematic analysis.Setting Semistructured interviews were conducted virtually via Microsoft Teams and on hospital premises.Participants Purposive and snowball sampling methods were used to recruit consultant orthopaedic surgeons specialised in elective lower limb arthroplasty.Results 10 surgeons from eight centres in the UK were interviewed. …”
