The endocrinological changes of the climacteric have been defined by studying concentrations follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinising (LH), androstenedione, testosterone, oestrone, and oestradiol in 60 normal postmenopausal women different menopausal ages. were studied six groups, according to number years since their menopause. One year after menopause reduced about 20% values recorded during early proliferative phase menstrual cycle. At same time mean concentration FSH had risen a...
The symptomatic and endocrine changes following hysterectomy bilateral oophorectomy have been studied in 100 patients, 1 to 31 years after surgery. most frequent symptoms at the time of interview were depression (62 patients), insomnia (48 loss libido (46 patients) dyspareunia (38 patients).

Research repor ts an average weight gain of between 4.5 and 7 kg 3 months following its commencement. Trying to minimize this a population with already high prevalence obesity, mor tality morbidity clinical social importance. This randomized controlled trial investigated impact individual nutrition education provided by dietitian on 6 commencement olanzapine. Method: Fifty-one individuals...
Determining the evolutionary basis of cross-species transmission and immune evasion is key to understanding mechanisms that control emergence either new viruses or novel antigenic variants with pandemic potential. The hemagglutinin glycoprotein influenza A a critical host range determinant major target neutralizing antibodies. Equine virus (EIV) significant pathogen horse causes periodical outbreaks disease even in populations high vaccination coverage. EIV has also jumped species barrier...
Abstract Little is known about how mitotic cells round against epithelial confinement. Here, we engineer micropillar arrays that subject to lateral mechanical confinement similar experienced in epithelia. If generating sufficient force deform the pillars, rounding (MDCK) can create space divide. However, if cannot space, their force, which generated by actomyosin contraction and hydrostatic pressure, pushes cell out of After conducting mitosis an unperturbed manner, both daughter return...

Equine herpesvirus 1 (EHV-1) causes respiratory disease, abortion, neonatal death and neurological disease in equines is endemic most countries. The viral factors that influence EHV-1 severity are poorly understood, this has hampered vaccine development. However, the N752D substitution DNA polymerase catalytic subunit been shown statistically to be associated with disease. This given rise term "neuropathic strain," even though strains lacking polymorphism have recovered from cases of To...
