Physiology and Endocrinology: Reproductive Endocrinology

The aim of the present study was to investigate the endocrinology of periestrus period and the days after until estrus in ewes (n = 40) synchronized out of breeding season and diagnosing the related pregnancies after laparoscopic insemination comparing to different doses of PMSG that was used. Animals treated for 12 d with CIDR followed by administration with different doses (0, 450, 550, 650, ...

Reproductive Endocrinology

Major achievements in reproductive biology and endocrinology have been made during the last year. Two major areas show intense activity and have revised our concepts. There has been continuous high activity in the stem cell field and the advances of stem cell biology are now creating novel possibilities of assisted-reproduction technologies for human use. Another area of interesting development...

Reproductive Endocrinology

The prevention and clinical management of RDS are discussed in detail, of particular interest being the details of the use of Swan-Ganz catheters, anticoagulants in the management of intravascular coagulation, post end-expiratory pressure and intravenous nutrition. Not everyone will agree with the opinions expressed but their rational presentation supported by an excellent bibliography are cert...

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology

Objective: To study pathophysiologic pathways in spontaneous preterm birth and possibly the racial disparity associating with maternal and fetal genetic variations, using bioinformatics tools. Methods: A large scale candidate gene association study was performed on 1442 SNPs in 130 genes in a case (preterm birth < 36 weeks) control study (term birth > 37 weeks). Both maternal and fetal DNA from...
