Results: 201 pregnant ladies were evaluated for antenatal depression. Majority women (52.7%) belonged to the age group of 26-30 years. Using EPDS we found that 10.9% women were progressing towards antenatal depression. The risk of developing antenatal depression was statistically significant among the women (21.1%) who were married before 20 years of age (p= 0.027), who were multi-gravida (p=0....

We modify existing models of bacteriophage growth on an exponentially growing bacterial population by including (1) density dependent phage attack rates and (2) loss to phage due to adsorption to both infected and uninfected bacteria. The effects of these modifications on key pharmacokinetic parameters associated with phage therapy are examined. More general phage growth models are explored whi...

I t has been the experience of the present writers that herpes virus given intranasally to 2-week-old mice produces an almost uniformly fatal infection. I t has been found, in addition, that mice born of immune mothers are themselves immune to the virus administered by the intranasal route (1). These findings pose several questions. In the present and subsequent reports, we shall describe inves...

Angus bulls (n = 20) from three pure-bred herds in Georgia were acquired to determine the impact of selecting sires based on phenotypic yearling ultrasound intramuscular fat percentage (UIMF) or UIMF EPD on marbling score of steer progeny. Each year in each herd, pairs of bulls were selected to create large differences based on their age adjusted phenotypic yearling UIMF measurements. The avera...

Anthropogenic habitat deterioration can promote changes in plant mating systems that subsequently may affect progeny performance, thereby conditioning plant recruitment for the next generation. However, very few studies yet tested mating system parameters other than outcrossing rates; and the direct effects of the genetic diversity of the pollen received by maternal plants (i.e. correlated pate...

At the present stage of science development it is necessary to develop and implement grape breeding programs for immunity basing on international level knowledge about genetics pathogens that cause culture diseases. The extensive material genes resistance Plasmopara viticola Erysiphe necator ( Uncinula ), which mildew oidium diseases, has been collected thanks MAS technology. There an evidence ...
