Variation in extragenic repetitive DNA sequences in Pseudomonas syringae and potential use of modified REP primers in the identification of closely related isolates

In this study, Pseudomonas syringe pathovars isolated from olive, tomato and bean were identified by species-specific PCR and their genetic diversity was assessed by repetitive extragenic palindromic (REP)-PCR.Reverse universal primers for REP-PCR were designed by using the bases of A, T, G or C at the positions of 1, 4 and 11 to identify additiona

Towards a Novel Patient Experience Survey System: Incorporating Physician Perspectives into Performance Feedback Dashboard Design

We aim to incorporate physician insights into the development of a performance dashboard based on a novel patient experience survey system at a large academic health system.A multidisciplinary team of physicians, researchers, and designers met regularly to develop the dashboard informed by Clinical Performance Feedback Intervention Theory.Semistruc
