Ovaries of 17 adult, pleuriparous, and lactating one-humped she-camels (Camelus dromedarius) were examined per rectum for uterine involution and for presence of follicles (>/=1.0 cm diameter) by real-time ultrasonography at the National Research Centre on Camel at Bikaner, India at 30, 45, 60, 75, and 90 days postpartum.

Introduction Thirty-day in-hospital mortality is a common outcome measure in trauma-registry research and benchmarking. However, this does not include deaths after hospital discharge before 30 days or late beyond since the injury. To evaluate reliability of measure, we assessed timing causes death during first year major blunt trauma patients treated at single tertiary center. Methods We used H...

PURPOSE To quantitate in vivo retinal ganglion cell (RGC) survival after transient periods of pressure-induced ischemia of the rat retina and after different survival intervals. METHODS In adult rats, RGCs were labeled with fluorogold applied to their main targets in the brain. Seven days later, in several groups of rats, the left retinas were subjected to transient periods of ischemia of 30,...
