Reiter's syndrome consists of a non-specific urethritis, conjunctivitis, polyarthritis, and a number of less constant features (Reiter, 1916). The cause of the urethritis is unknown but it is commonly regarded by venereologists as an infective condition of venereal origin. Although a yearly average of more than 12,000 cases of non-specific urethritis have been reported to the Ministry of Health...

reality therapy is a particular approach in adolescent development and independence that repeatedly emphasized on the disagreeable relationships and self-control to encourage personal growth. unfortunately, we could not find any study in the context of effectiveness of training reality therapy concepts on parent-child conflicts and self-efficacy. therefore, this study were done with the purpose...

The present study investigates the acute consequences of central adrenergic stimulation on the release of steroids from the ovary. The influence of the superior ovarian nerve (SON) and the relationship between the neural effect and peripheral LH levels were also examined. The intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injection of 5 microg epinephrine in SON-intact rats on day 1 of dioestrus (D1) increas...

1. Introduction Handover (HO) is key procedure for ensuring that users can move freely within a network being connected to high quality services [1]. In currently deployed mobile networks, handover optimization is performed manually over a long time period-days or weeks. This approach is both time consuming and can not be carried out as often as needed. By introducing an online self-optimising ...

The magnocellular neurons (MCNs) of the supraoptic nucleus (SON) and paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus are the principal site of biosynthesis of prepropeptide precursor of the antidiuretic hormone vasopressin (VP). This precursor is processed during anterograde axonal transportation to terminals in the posterior pituitary gland, where biologically active VP is stored until relea...

Oxytocin- and vasopressin-producing magnocellular neurons (MCNs) of the hypothalamo-neurohypophysial system are the only neuronal phenotypes present in the rat supraoptic nucleus (SON). Laser microdissection of the SON, extraction and T7-based amplification of its RNAs, and analysis of the resulting cDNAs by hybridization on a 35, 319 element DNA microarray have provided a detailed composite vi...

When [35S]cysteine was injected adjacent to the supraoptic nucleus (SON) in rats, it was rapidly incorporated into proteins in the SON. The [35S]cysteine-labeled proteins extracted from the SON were separated by isoelectric focusing on polyacrylamide gels. Twenty minutes after the injection of [35S]cysteine, two major labeled peaks (pI = 5.4 and 6.1) were found in the SON of normal rats; Brattl...

Son preference predominates in China, yet there are patterned exceptions to this rule. In this paper, we test whether lineality (patrilineal versus matrilineal inheritance and descent) is associated with son versus daughter preference among the ethnic Mosuo (Na) of Southwest China. Our results show (i) an increased probability of continued fertility among matrilineal women after having a son co...
