The impact of different patterns of feed restriction between d 1 and 15 of the estrous cycle on subsequent reproductive performance of 23 trios of littermate gilts was tested. Some gilts were fed a high plane of nutrition (HH gilts) throughout the cycle, in contrast to HR gilts, which were restricted from d 8 to 15, and RH gilts, which were restricted from d 1 to 7. During feed restriction, wei...

rhd antigen is the most immunogenic and clinically significant antigen of red blood cells after abo system. it has historically been associated with hemolytic disease of the newborn (hdn) which is now routinely prevented by the administration of polyclonal anti-d immunoglobulin. this management of hdn has proven to be one of the most successful cases of prophylactic treatment based on antibody ...

A cross sectional study among Al-Najaf province population related to blood group distribution showed that the ABO and Rh (D) blood groups distribution among 1628 young adult males 698 (42.9%) and females 930 (57.1%) from different locations in AlNajaf in Iraq. Blood samples were collected by venipuncture method. The blood was transferred into laboratory were tested for both the blood groups by...

Movement of the ligand/receptor complex in rhodopsin (Rh) has been traced. Bleaching of diazoketo rhodopsin (DK-Rh) containing 11-cis-3-diazo-4-oxo-retinal yields batho-, lumi-, meta-I-, and meta-II-Rh intermediates corresponding to those of native Rh but at lower temperatures. Photoaffinity labeling of DK-Rh and these bleaching intermediates shows that the ionone ring cross-links to tryptophan...

We conducted an experiment to determine the effect of relative humidity (RH) during incubation on characteristics of hatched chicks from eggs produced by young broiler breeders. Eggs were collected for 6 consecutive d, every other week, in each of two trials from broiler breeder flocks at 26, 28, and 30 wk of age. The eggs were randomly distributed in machines according to RH treatments that we...

DOI: 10.5581/1516-8484.20130042 Even though the anti-LW antibody has little clinical importance, the present report aims at demonstrating that one must be careful about its possible identification. The weak anti-LW may be confused with anti-D autoor allo-antibodies and differentiating them is important particularly in women during the fertile period, and in RhDpregnant women, due to the possibi...

OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to investigate the association between maternal Rh D status, prenatal exposure to anti-D immune globulin, and the risk of autism in the offspring. STUDY DESIGN Case-control study among children born from 1995 to 1999 at Kaiser Permanente Northern California hospitals. Cases (n = 400) were children with an autism diagnosis; controls (n = 410) were child...

background: determining of gene frequencies of a, band 0 genes from abo blood group system and d and d genes from rhesus system are objectives of the present study. methods: the study was a cross sectional descriptive study. all the voluntary blood donors, 7361 people, attending to the hamadan, iran, blood bank during 1996 were studied. primary information from the sex of blood donors and their...

The similarity of the observed densities of baryons and cold dark matter suggests that they have a common or related origin. This can be understood in the context of the MSSM with right-handed (RH) sneutrinos if cold dark matter is due to a d = 4 flat direction condensate of weakly coupled RH sneutrino LSPs and the baryon asymmetry is generated by Affleck-Dine leptogenesis along the d = 4 (HuL)...

This study was designed to test whether recombinant human G-CSF (rh G-CSF) affects hematopoiesis in normal dogs and, if so, to test the effects of G-CSF in dogs given otherwise lethal total body irradiation (TBI). Rh G-CSF given subcutaneously at 10 or 100 micrograms/kg/d for 14 days to two normal dogs increased peripheral blood neutrophils eight to tenfold and monocytes four to sixfold above c...
