Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is the most economically significant disease impacting pig production in North America, Europe, and Asia, causing reproductive losses such as increased rates of stillbirth and mummified piglets. The objective of this study was to explore the genetic basis of host response to the PRRS virus (PRRSV) in a commercial multiplier sow herd before an...

In this article, we present the continuing work on a SARS model without quarantine by Hsu and Hsieh [Sze-Bi Hsu, Ying-Hen Hsieh, Modeling intervention measures and severity-dependent public response during severe acute respiratory syndrome outbreak, SIAM J. Appl. Math. 66 (2006) 627–647]. An “acting basic reproductive number” ψ is used to predict the final size of the susceptible population. We...

BACKGROUND Kallmann syndrome (Kal S) is an isolated form of hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism in combination with a defect in smell sensation. Depending on the genetic form of the disease, a number of non-reproductive, non-olfactory abnormalities may also be existent. In the present report, we describe a male with Kal S associated with hearing loss, and the successful treatment of his sexual and r...

OBJECTIVE To review variations in specific reproductive health outcomes by race and ethnicity. A growing number of reports have explored potential gaps in the quality of reproductive health and healthcare across racial and ethnic groups. Diverse results from numerous investigations have made it challenging for practitioners to confirm the significance of these disparities. METHOD(S) Three spe...
