Ovarian changes determined by daily transrectal ultrasound and its relationship with FSH, LH, estradiol-17beta, progesterone, and inhibin were investigated in six goats for three consecutive interovulatory intervals. Estrous cycles were synchronized using two injections of prostaglandin F2alpha analogue 11 days apart. All follicles 3 mm or greater in diameter and corpora lutea were measured dai...

Pulmonary oedema in a patient with hypertrophic subaortic stenosis undergoing extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is described. This event occurred upon emergence from the bath. It is suggested that pulmonary oedema followed emergence because of a reduction in central venous pressures and a decrease in preload which led to transient dynamic obstruction. Treatment with beta adrenergic blockade...

Most estrous cycles in cows consist of 2 or 3 waves of follicular activity. Waves of ovarian follicular development comprise the growth of dominant follicles some of which become ovulatory and the others are anovulatory. Ovarian follicular activity in cows during estrous cycle was studied with a special reference to follicular waves and the circulating concentrations of estradiol and progestero...

We study the emergence of quasiperiodic Bloch wave functions in quasicrystals, employing one-dimensional Fibonacci model as a test case. find that despite fact are not eigenfunctions themselves, superpositions relatively small numbers nearly degenerate give rise to extended functions. These possess structure earlier ancestors underlying potential, and it is often possible obtain different aroun...

The re-establishment of conscious awareness after discontinuing general anesthesia has often been assumed to be the inverse of loss of consciousness. This is despite the obvious asymmetry in the initiation and termination of natural sleep. In order to characterize the restoration of consciousness after surgery, we recorded frontal electroencephalograph (EEG) from 100 patients in the operating r...

Extreme surface waves in deep-water long-crested sea are often interpreted as a manifestation in real world of the so-called breathing solitons of the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation. While the spontaneous emergence of such coherent structures from nonlinear wave dynamics was demonstrated to take place in fiber optics systems, the same point remains far more controversial in the hydrody...

Although superstimulatory protocols in cattle are usually initiated during mid-cycle, the elective control follicular wave emergence and ovulation have had a great impact on the application of on-farm embryo transfer. However, the most commonly used approach for the synchronization of follicular wave emergence involves the use of estradiol which cannot be used in many parts of the world. Theref...
