introduction: motor skills play an important role during life span, and older adults need to learn or relearn these skills. the purpose of this study was to investigate how aging affects induction of improved movement performance by motor training. methods: serial reaction time test (srtt) was used to assess movement performance during 8 blocks of motor training. participants were tested in two...

in vitro fertilization (ivf) and other assisted reproductive technologies present an enormous hope to couples with fertility difficulties. assisted reproductive technology is one of the risk factors that can result in anxiety in these couples. indeed, ivf-treatments cause a stress, for both the woman and her partner. the different stages of the ivf-procedure can affect the emotional life of the...

This paper reviews the potential role of honey as a therapeutic antioxidant to reduce oxidative stress and improve cognitive ageing. All articles indexed to PubMed Central (PMC) were searched using the following key words: honey, antioxidant, memory and ageing. Honey is a natural insect-derived product with therapeutic, medicinal and nutritional values. Antioxidant properties of honey quench bi...

The 17-4PH alloy is a martensitic stainless steel with 3–5 wt% Cu, strengthened by the precipitation hardening. Due to excellent mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and ease of heat treatment, this alloy has unique applications in nuclear power plants and marine constructions. In this paper, the influence of ageing heat treatment, solution annealing followed by ageing at 480, 550 and 62...

Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a condition that arises from dysfunction or early depletion of the follicle pool accompanied by an earlier-than-normal loss fertility in young women. Oxidative stress has been suggested as important factor decline women and POI. In this review, we discuss mechanisms oxidative implicated ageing relation to POI, particular mitochondrial dysfunction, apopto...

failure to respond adequately to standard protocols and to recruit adequate follicles is called ‘poor response’. this results in decreased oocyte production, cycle cancellation and, overall, is associated with a significantly diminished probability of pregnancy. it has been shown that ovarian reserve tests, such as basal fsh, antimullarian hormone (amh), inhibin b, basal estradiol, antral folli...

background: ovarian fibroma is the most common benign solid tumor of the ovary, which is often difficult to diagnose preoperatively. the choice treatment for ovarian fibroma is surgical removal, but discussions for the operative approach, laparoscopic or open, in the literature seem to be scant. case presentation: we presented a unique clinical experience of laparoscopic approach to a case of 1...
