I-32: Avoiding OHSS in Ovarian Stimulation

Multiple pregnancies and ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome (OHSS) are the most serious complications of ovarian stimulation and IVF. Indeed, they are more or less the only ones. OHSS can effectively be prevented in three stages: Before stimulation, during stimulation and at ET. Before stimulation patients should be assessed as to age, the ovarian follicular count and/or anti mullerian hormone ...

Light microscopical diagnosis of rabies

Canine rabies.

Dog rabies is still epizootic in most countries of Africa, Asia and South America and in these countries dogs are responsible for most human deaths from the disease. The incubation period in dogs may vary from one week to several months and may be influenced by the site of infection and the virus dose and strain. Diagnosis by clinical signs alone is inadequate since many rabid dogs develop dumb...

Rabies Diagnosis

A cell culture infection test was developed for the isolation ofrabies virus from field cases submitted for rabies diagnosis. The procedure involved the addition of a suspension of suspect brain tissue to a suspension of murine neuroblastoma cells in 96-well microtiter plates. The cultures were then incubated at 35-36° C for four days at which time they were fixed, stained with a fluorescein-la...

Control of rabies: epidemiology of rabies in Asia and development of new-generation vaccines for rabies.

Rabies is an enzootic viral disease widespread throughout the world. Although it is a vaccine-preventable disease, the annual number of human deaths caused by rabies is estimated to be 32,000 in Asia. Phylogenetic analysis based on sequence data of the partial N gene of rabies viruses in Asia has shown that the viruses are divided into five genogroups, distributed in Middle East, South Asia, So...
