OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of a publicly funded domestic heating programme on self-reported health. DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS A prospective controlled study of 1281 households in Scotland receiving new central heating under a publicly funded initiative, and 1084 comparison households not receiving new heating. The main outcome measures were self-reported diagnosis of asthma, bronch...

Crop–livestock integrated production systems (CLISs) combine cash-crop and forage in succession. There are plenty of options cultivars with differences aspects seeds cost, there is little information on how the choice cultivar can affect results a CLIS. We hypothesized that different have important economic impacts systems. Thus, we evaluated two-year using three species CLIS: (1) Urochloa ruzi...

(1) Introduction: Pathogenic variants in the CFTR (Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane conductance Regulator, OMIM: 602421) gene cause Cystic (CF, 219700) and CF-related disorders (CF-RD), often accompanied by obstructive azoospermia due to congenital bilateral aplasia of vas deferens (CBAVD, 277180) male patients. The L138ins (c.413_415dup; p. (Leu138dup)) is a mild variant that relatively common am...

Objectives: Almost all men with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) are infertile mainly because of congenital bilateral aplasia vas deferens, VD (CBAVD) resulted to obstructive azoospermia. Some 3849+10kbC>T variant the CFTR gene can be fertile no obstruction, however factor(s) this phenotypic variability unknown. Materials and methods: We examined 23 adult PS-CF, having gene. Semen examination, clinical, an...

Background: Phytate is an anti-nutritional factor in plants, which catches the most phosphorus contents and some vital minerals. Therefore, Phytase is added mainly as an additive to the monogastric animals’ foods to hydrolyze phytate and increase absorption of phosphorus. Objectives: Y. intermedia phytase is a new phytase with special characteristics such as high specific activity, pH stabilit...

The low temperature (LT) conditions that prevail during winter in subtropical regions of India drastically affect the growth and yield sugarcane. To identify low-temperature-tolerant agronomical acceptable genotypes for immediate deployment as donor parents sugarcane breeding program, 34 clones belonging to 7 genetically diverse groups were evaluated under three crop environments, viz., spring ...
