Oestrus induction with intravaginal progesterone is the most preferred method in anoestrus sheep. In previous studies it was argued that decrease level before sponge removed reduces efficiency. This study aimed to test hypothesis additional treatment during priming anestrous ewes could increase reproductive efficiency of induction. The conducted on 261 Kangal sheep, which were pregnant autumn a...

The induction of persistent intraepithelial CD8+ T cell responses may be key to the development of vaccines against mucosally transmitted pathogens, particularly for sexually transmitted diseases. Here we investigated CD8+ T cell responses in the female mouse cervicovaginal mucosa after intravaginal immunization with human papillomavirus vectors (HPV pseudoviruses) that transiently expressed a ...

the purpose of the research was to formulate microspheres of acyclovir (acv) using mucoadhesive polymers, sodium alginate and chitosan. calcium chloride was used as the ionotropic gelling agent. sodium alginate was crosslinked by calcium chloride leading to a slower release of the drug. chitosan which is a cationic polymer interacted with sodium alginate, an anionic polymer, to form an interpol...

Intravaginal Misoprostol is being used with excellent results for second trimester pregnancy termination, worldwide. However, there are many case reports of serious complications of uterine rupture in such cases, both in previously scarred as well as in unscarred uterus. In this report, we describe a case of uterine rupture in an unscarred uterus during second-trimester pregnancy termination wi...

OBJECTIVE Metronidazole is the drug of choice for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis (BV). However, so far the oral administration has not been clinically compared to the intravaginal application regarding efficacy, side effects and patient satisfaction in a scientific sound fashion. STUDY DESIGN Therefore, this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was designed to dem...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of vaginal palpation, vaginal palpation associated with posterior pelvic tilt, and intravaginal electrical stimulation in facilitating voluntary contraction of the pelvic floor muscles in women. METHODS A randomized controlled trial in which 132 women with pelvic floor muscles function graded at 0 or 1 using the Modified Oxford Scale were randomized into four ...

Enrichment of zeolite and sponge as ethylene absorbent with potassium permanganate was theidea of this study to provide an efficient way to scavenge ethylene during storage period ofthree Rosa hybrida cv. ‘Shiraz’, ‘Avalanche’, and ‘After-party’ cut flowers. A preliminaryexperiment revealed that two mL of potassium permanganate solution (1 mM) was enough toenrich two gra...
