P-60: Survival Assessment of Mouse In Vitro Embryos after Exposure to Cell Phone Radiation

Background Using cellular phone among adults, teenagers and children has rapidly increased all over the world. Also, the concern on the possible health hazards of Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) induced from cell phones on reproduction has been growing in many countries. The aim was to assess the morphological parameters, survival rate and development of mouse in-vitro embryos obtained by natural ...

A Solution to View Management to Build a Data Warehouse

Several techniques exist to select and materialize a proper set of data in a suitable structure that manage the queries submitted to the online analytical processing systems. These techniques are called view management techniques, which consist of three research areas: 1) view selection to materialize, 2) query processing and rewriting using the materialized views, and 3) maintaining materializ...

Which stage of mouse embryos is more appropriate for vitrification?

Objective Vitrification has been shown as one of the most effective methods of cryopreservation for mammalian embryos. However, there is no consensus which stage of embryonic development is the most appropriate for vitrification with subsequent maximal development after thawing. This study was carried out to explore and compare the effect(s) of vitrification on mouse 2-cell, 4-cell, 8-cell, mor...

CIGARETTE SMOKE/ETHANOL-INDUCED LIMB DEFECTS IN MOUSE EMBRYOS

We have produced a spectrum of limb defects in developing mouse embryos by exposing the mother to smoke from cigarettes with different nicotine concentrations, ethanol, and a combination of ethanol and cigarette smoke. The critical time of exposure was determined to be during day 10 of gestation (vaginal plug=day 0). This time is prior to the critical events which occur between the apical e...
