The present study was conducted with an aim to access the incidence of peri-parturient reproductive disorders and to determine the seasonal calving pattern in cross bred cows of Jammu region. A total of 2638 calving records of cross bred dairy cows between 2010 – 2016 were screened retrospectively for peri-parturient reproductive disorders. The most common reproductive problems recorded in the ...

conclusions: the increased survival of preterm infants was not associated with lower complications. there is now increasing evidence of sustained adverse outcomes into school age and adolescence, for preterm infants. results: cerebral palsy especially spastic diplegia, intellectual disability, visual (retinopathy of prematurity) and hearing impairments are the main neurodevelopmental disorders ...

objective: to determine the effect of paternal age on preterm births in iranian neonates. materials and methods: from january 2005 to january 2006, two hundred eighty one preterm neonates born in mirza kuchakkhan hospital enrolled in this cross-sectional study. a structured questionnaire was applied for recording following data: birth weight, sex, gestational age, maternal age and paternal age....

Samples of adipose tissue were obtained from different sites in bovine and ovine foetuses and newborns. RNA was isolated and analysed using bovine cDNA and ovine genomic probe for uncoupling protein (UCP), cDNA for subunits III and IV of cytochrome c oxidase and cDNA for ADP/ATP carrier. UCP mRNA was characterized for the first time in foetal bovine and ovine adipose tissue. It appeared later t...

Preterm birth is the leading cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity and long-term disability of non-anomalous infants. Previous studies have identified a prior early spontaneous preterm birth as the risk factor with the highest predictive value for recurrence. Two recent double blind randomized placebo controlled trials reported lower preterm birth rate with the use of either intramuscular 1...

INTRODUCTION Perinatal mortality rate is a sensitive indicator of quality of care provided to women in pregnancy, at and after child birth and to the newborns in the first week of life. Regular perinatal audit would help in identifying all the factors that play a role in causing perinatal deaths and thus help in appropriate interventions to reduce avoidable perinatal deaths. AIMS AND OBJECTIV...

The Maximum Density Still Life problem fills a finite Game of Life board with a stable pattern of cells that has as many live cells as possible. Although simple to state, this problem is computationally challenging for any but the smallest sizes of board. Especially difficult is to prove that the maximum number of live cells has been found. Various approaches have been employed. The most succes...
