Monomorphic (inversion free) and polymorphic (with inversion) strains of Drosophila ananassae established from out-bred population collected at Mysore have been used to study female age influence on fecundity, fertility, and ovariole number. It was noticed that polymorphic strains had greater fecundity, fertility, and ovariole number than monomorphic strains. It was also noticed that in both mo...

OBJECTIVES To perform an epidemiological assessment of metallic hairpin inhalation in young Muslim females and highlight the need for a health education program in this population. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of females with a history of metallic hairpin inhalation presenting to the Otolaryngology and Cardiothoracic Surgery Departments at Mansoura University Hospitals from J...

Various studies have reported the effect of different phases of normal menstrual cycle on the autonomic control over the cardiac activity using heart rate variability (HRV) analysis. However, information on cardiac autonomic activity in young females suffering from primary dysmenorrhea (PD) is scant. Hence, the aim of the present study was to assess the HRV and blood pressure (BP) in different ...

Fifty young students, 39 females and 21 males with the Mean ages of 19 - 23 years, were studied to determine if hemoglobin and serum iron differences existed between the two groups and if so whether they were due to dissimilar nutrient intakes. Each subject kept a four day dietary diary and provided a fasting blood sample on the last day of the diary recording. The energy , protein and iron int...

OBJECTIVES To characterise the physiological pattern of trunk and shoulders movements during walking and provide a reference for further studies on spine deformities. DESIGN Implementation of a model for measuring spine and shoulder girdle movements during gait. Data collection on a population of eighteen, young, healthy, female subjects. BACKGROUND The analysis of gait modifications in sub...

Diapause is a period of arrested development which is controlled physiologically, preprogrammed environmentally and characterized by metabolic depression that can occur during any stage of insect development. Nevertheless, in the genus Drosophila, diapause is almost always associated with the cessation of ovarian development and reproductive activity in adult females. In this work, we show that...
