Objective To assess the impact of type bariatric surgery on pregnancy outcomes. Study design This is a national prospective observational study using UK Obstetric Surveillance System (UKOSS). Data collection was undertaken in 200 consultant-led NHS maternity units between November 2011 and October 2012 (gastric banding), April 2014 March 2016 bypass sleeve gastrectomy). Participants were pregna...

Growth hormone (GH) is the most important hormone that controls somatic cell growth and syntheses of protein, fat, and carbohydrates. This study was conducted to identify gene polymorphism of GH-1 using PCR -single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) technique and its association with growth traits including condition factor (CF), body weight (BW) and total length (TL) in common carp (Cypr...

Rectal varices are an important cause of bleed. The bleeding can be sometimes fatal. Endoscopic management is possible and is generally done in emergency situation. Rectal variceal banding is useful. Hemodynamic evaluation has shown that the blood flow in rectal varices is from above downwards; however, the site of banding of rectal varices is unclear. This case series shows that the rectal var...

Zephyranthes citrina is an ornamental American bulbous plant used as garden crop for the aesthetic qualities of its yellow perigonium. The objective this work was to characterize species by classical chromosome staining and fluorochrome banding. A sporophytic number 2n=8x=48 chromosomes observed, being karyotypic formula 20 m + 26 sm 2 st. Satellites were detected in short arm metacentric 8, 9,...

The paramer mismatch-based spectral gamut mapping framework is an approach which optimizes the spectral reproduction colorimetrically for multiple viewing conditions. Unfortunately, due to the pixelwise nature of this method, almost similar neighboring pixels might be mapped to completely different colorants which yield disturbing banding artifacts. The previous proposed solution for this probl...

Both electrophotographic (laser) and inkjet technologies can generate artifacts that limit print quality. In this paper, we review our work with the use of image analysis to develop and parameterize printer models that form the basis for modifications to the print mechanism or rendering algorithm that can reduce these artifacts. 1. Printer technologies and artifacts that impact print quality Th...

three subspecies of mus musculus have been recognized in iran so far. the house mouse (genus0t 0t2tmus2t, species0t 0t2tmus musculus2t) are recognized for their highly conserved morphology and chromosomal structure, but some chromosomal characters offer accurate taxonomic markers in this species that has been shown any unambiguous diagnostic morphological traits. among the chromosomal character...

Nitrogen fertilizer is commonly applied to winter wheat in the High Plains to achieve moderate to high yields. Typically, anhydrous N is applied in the summer or early fall with a tillage operation. Some growers apply liquid N in the spring if winter and spring moisture are high to take advantage of higher yielding condition. Phosphate fertilizer is less frequently used on winter wheat than N f...
