<h4>Background</h4>Anterior knee pain is a frequent condition after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), but its origin remains uncertain. Studies have suggested that donor site morbidity in autologous bone-patellar tendon-bone reconstructions may contribute to patellofemoral pain, but this does not explain why hamstring tendon reconstructions may also present with anterior pain.<h4>Purpose</h4>To ...

We hypothesized that eucalyptus has clone-dependent responses to glyphosate, and such differential responses might be associated with morphological, metabolic and/or photosynthetic changes. Experiments were carried out under controlled conditions of temperature, photoperiod and nutrition, focusing on evaluating the response of Eucalyptus × urograndis clones (GG100 and I144) to increasing doses of glyphosate ...
