AIMS Contrast-guided axillary vein puncture is commonly used for pacemaker or defibrillator lead implantation. Venous spasm during contrast-guided axillary vein puncture has been reported rarely. We investigated the incidence of venous spasm during contrast-guided axillary vein puncture and the impact of venous spasm on axillary vein puncture. METHODS AND RESULTS Seventy-four consecutive pati...

We hypothesized that the number of microscopic follicles present in the ovaries of cattle selected for twin births (Twinner) would be greater than in the ovaries of contemporary Controls. Ovaries were collected from seven Control and seven Twinner cows at slaughter. The number of Small (1 to 3.9 mm), Medium (4 to 7.9), and Large (> 8 mm) surface follicles was counted and one ovary was fixed for...

We study integrals appearing in intermediate steps of one-loop open-string amplitudes, with multiple unintegrated punctures on the $A$-cycle a torus. construct vector such which closes after taking total differential respect to $N$ and modular parameter $\tau$. These are found satisfy elliptic Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov-Bernard (KZB) equations, can be written as power series $\alpha$' -- string len...

Background and Objective: Morphine can cause harmful effects in the ovaries. The silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) used in health care because of antimicrobial properties, can diffuse into the brain blood barrier. This study investigated the protective effect of Ag-NPs on the induction of polycystic ovary (PCO) due to injection of morphine intra-ventromedial hypothalamus (intra-VMH) of rat compared...

We report the case of a woman diagnosed with bilateral luteinized thecoma of the ovaries with sclerosing peritonitis, multiple intraperitoneal cystic lesions, and extraperitoneal lesions of the liver, inferior to the spleen, and high suspicion of bone marrow involvement. The patient developed profound pancytopenia with rapid clinical deterioration and a fatal outcome.

BACKGROUND To current knowledge, different oocyte's recovery method and various seasons have profound impact on in vitro embryo production (IVEP). OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to define an efficient recovery method for oocytes harvesting from slaughterhouse material in different seasons, and their effects on IVEP yield. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ovaries from slaughtered ewes in breeding...

for the present study, and follow-up of histochemical changes in estradiol valerate-induced polycysticovary syndrome (pcos), 48 virgin 90-day-old female rats were used. the rats were divided into thetreatment and control groups. for each rat of the treatment group, 4 mg estradiol valerate was injectedthrough intramuscular route for the induction of pcos. the control group was taken the same amo...
