Echinacea Supplementation: Does it Really Improve Aerobic Fitness?
PURPOSE Echinacea is an herbal supplement used by endurance athletes for its performance boosting properties.

Subsequently, these changes would lead to an overall improvement in maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) and run...

However, recent studies in human and animal experiments, which sought t...
متن کاملI-18: Techniques and Technologies for Embryo Transfer: Does It Really Matter.
The learning objectives of this presentation are to understand the dynamics involved in the process of ET, evaluate the evidence for/against common practices and techniques and develop a standardized ET process in view of supporting evidence. Gametes and embryos are handled with extreme care at every step of the Laboratory process. ET is the least sophisticated step of the in vitro Fertilizatio...
