Canine epididymal sperm was collected from the cauda epididymis using 2 different methods (flushing and mincing) to compare the qualities (the percentage of progressively motile, viable, morphologically abnormal, immature and intact acrosomes) before and after freezing and thawing. No significant difference was noted in the quality of the cauda epididymal sperm immediately after collection and ...

BACKGROUND Ultrasound guided transvaginal aspiration of oocytes has replaced other methods of oocyte retrieval for in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). However, there is controversy over whether flushing yields a larger number of oocytes and a higher potential for pregnancy than aspiration only. OBJECTIVES To determine whether follicular aspiration and flu...

Rosacea is a common facial disorder characterized by centrofacial erythema, flushing, telangiectasia, edema, papules, pustules, ocular lesions, and rhinophyma in various combinations. The skin lesions most commonly affect the convex areas of the nose, cheeks, chin, and forehead. Rosacea is classified as erythematotelangiectatic (ETR), papulopustular, and phymatous subtypes, and as ocular and gr...

Hot flushes are one of the most frequent symptoms in menopausal women. We investigated effect of soybean isoflavones (Soyaflavone HG) on nifedipine-induced flushing in ovariectomized mice. Ovariectomy markedly aggravated nifedipine-induced increase in tail skin temperature. Soyaflavone HG (10 mg/kg, p.o., once a day for 5 days) inhibited nifedipine-induced flushing in ovariectomized mice. The i...

the present study was aimed to improve the reproductive performance of corriedale ewes by nutritional flushing. forty corriedale ewes were divided into four treatment groups (tc, t1, t2 and t3) with 10 ewes in each group (n=10). at the beginning of the breeding season extra feeding (flushing regime) was started for approximately 34 days such that two estrus cycles were covered. first group i.e....

sediment flushing of reservoirs is an operational technique, whereby previously accumulated sediments in the reservoirs are hydraulically removed by accelerated flow when the bottom desiltingoutlets of the dam are opened. in this research, the process of sediment flushing is simulated by a three dimensional numerical model in which sediment and flow interaction are reflected in the reservoirs. ...
