The paper studies indices of lipid metabolism, immunoglobulins in blood serum heifers different breeds. Black-and-white, Simmental, Aberdeen-Angus, mongrel cattle was selected for this study. Each breed the group consisted 10 heads. study lipids dynamics experimental showed, concentration gradually increased and by 5th month reached maximum values. By end pregnancy on 9th month, a decrease all ...

background: since increased lh in the early follicular phase in pcos patients especially in gnrh antagonist protocol could be associated with reduced oocyte quality and pregnancy and impared implantation. the current study was conducted to determine art outcomes in gnrh antagonist protocol (flexible) and long gnrh agonist protocol and compare them with adding gnrh antagonist in gnrh antagonist ...

BACKGROUND Obesity in pregnancy is a global health problem which is associated with poor pregnancy outcomes. The use of weight and height, measured at about ten weeks of gestation, to produce pre-gestational body mass index is recommended for the diagnoses of the condition but limitations abound in under resourced settings. OBJECTIVES To measure anthropometric indices such as mid upper arm ci...

Background. Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and Familial Hypocalciuric Hypercalcemia (FHH) result in different maternal and fetal complications in pregnancy. Calcium to creatinine clearance ratio (CCCR) is commonly used to help distinguish these two conditions. Physiological changes in calcium handling during pregnancy and lactation can alter CCCR, making it a less useful tool to distinguish...

PURPOSE To assess the course of intraocular pressure (IOP), visual field progression, and adverse effects of antiglaucoma medication used during pregnancy. METHODS Thirteen eyes of eight patients with glaucoma were examined. Their clinical records were reviewed to compare IOP, number of medications, and visual field indices (VFI) before, during, and after pregnancy using a two-tailed paired t...

OBJECTIVE : To analyse the disease course of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) during and after pregnancy by validated clinical instruments for measurement of disease activity, and assess their usefulness in pregnant patients. METHODS Included were 10 patients with RA and 9 with AS (10 pregnancies). Clinical examination and blood/urine sampling was perfor...

BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease in pregnancy is the leading cause of maternal mortality in North America. Although transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is the most widely used imaging modality for the assessment of cardiovascular function during pregnancy, little is known on the role of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). The objective of the Cardiac Hemodynamic Imaging and Remodeling in...

Increased activity of hepatic microsomal enzymes can be evaluatedby measuring D-giucaric acidexcretionin urine and y-glutamyltransferase (EC 2.3.2.2) activity in serum. AsIde from diverse foreign compounds, endogenous steroid hormones have been shown to be normal substrates of the microsomal enzyme system. Because there is an increase In steroid production In pregnancy, we sought to determine w...

The mammalian gut microbiota influences various metabolic and physiological processes. Substantial metabolic changes occur during a healthy pregnancy that may be related to microbiota composition dynamics. However, the effect of diet on intestinal microbiota composition and diversity during pregnancy remains unclear. We examined the ileal contents of Huanjiang mini-pigs at two pregnancy stages ...
