Ram seminal plasma increases the fertility of frozen-thawed ram spermatozoa deposited into the cervix. The aim of the current study was to compare the effect of ram seminal plasma to that of bull seminal plasma, dog prostatic fluid, protein-free TALP TrilEq (Triladyl with 0.5 mt of Equex STM paste added to each 100 mt) and heat-treated skim milk on longevity and percentages of progressively mot...

Abnormal renal function is common in acute and chronic congestive heart failure (CHF) and is related to the severity of congestion. However, treatment of congestion often leads to worsening renal function. Our objective was to explore basal determinants of renal function and their response to hemodynamic interventions. Thirty-seven patients without CHF and 59 patients with chronic CHF (ejection...

PURPOSE To report the 1-year follow-up results of intravitreal aflibercept injection (IAI) for the management of complications of retinal artery macroaneurysms (RAM). METHODS A retrospective, noncomparative, interventional case series of 4 eyes of 4 patients (all female, aged 68-91 years, 3 treatment naive) treated with IAI 2 mg for complications of RAM [macular edema (ME) 2, submacular hemor...

Background: Low density lipoprotein (LDL) of egg yolk has been successfully used for stallion and bull semen cryopreservation. However, there is limited information to clarify the effect of LDL or lyophilized LDL on ram semen quality. On the other hand, during semen collection, dilution and cryopreservation we need to protect the spermatozoa from lipid peroxidation. Clove bud has polyphenolic c...

In recent years, a rapidly growing number of small embedded systems have been used in very high volumes. One example is the automotive industry, where the number of Electronic Control Units (ECU) in a single car is approaching 100 for high end automobiles and several dozens are used in mid-range cars. Small system-on-chip microcontrollers are often used with static operating systems. As on-chip...

Cover Page and Abstract Tools and Techniques for Analysis The live acquisition of volatile memory (RAM) is an area in digital forensics that has not garnered much attention until most recently. The importance of the contents of physical memory has always taken a back seat to what is considered more important – the contents of physical media. However, a great deal of information can be acquired ...
